jessdecutie18 Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 I've been looking around for a bird to rehome, I guess waiting for the right thing to come up... and I might have found it. I found this Craigslist ad this morning... poor birdie looks in bad shape! But $25, and it comes with its cage... of course I wouldn't be putting this little guy with Yoshi, she would have her own little cage. I asked the guy selling her for more information, and what the age is, so I'll let you know what he says. I don't know much about Ring-necks though! http://spacecoast.craigslist.org/for/1660036150.html
Greywings Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 Meet the bird and see if there is a connection first. Ringnecks do get flighty if not handled frequently and this one looks a bit traumatised. I would stop by the Vet on the way home and isolate for at least 30 days. It looks from the outside that she may be fighting a little yeast in the crop or on the skin. There are so many causes of plucking but it does look like she may be able to recover a good many of those feathers with an excellent diet, frequent baths and some understanding of her fears and emotional needs. She just looks fearful in that photo has that ready to make a getaway look.
JungleDreamz Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 OMG, He looks absolutly TERRIFIED...Get him outta there!!!!! If not you, SOMEONE QUICK! Poor guy.... How good of you to be looking to rehome and give help to a bird who desperatly needs it. KARMA!
Jayd Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 Take the baby, more than likely feathers around neck won't come back, looks like to much damage.They eat a little extra fruit and a regular diet, good talkers, ours get along with our Mitered Conure and 'Tiels. For a small body they have a real long tail. Looks like it might be a female...Jayd Post edited by: Jayd, at: 2010/03/30 19:06<br><br>Post edited by: Jayd, at: 2010/03/30 19:08
JillyBeanz Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 Ah, he is gorgeous Jess - just needs a little sweater knitting and Bob's your uncle! They are such pretty little things ~ gorgeous little faces. I take it that's another of the Ark Noah? :laugh:
pearllyn Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 Poor little scrap. I so hope she gets a good home, but if you do take her, be sure to keep everyone safe and quarentine her. Good luck with your decision.
judygram Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 Ah the poor little thing, yes by all means if you want to give this bird a new forever home then do it, it looks like it needs someone to take proper care of it and love it and you are definitely qualified. Let us know what you decide to do.
Luvparrots Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 Poor little fid. I hope you do decide to adopt this little sweetheart into your forever home. Please let us know what you decide.
jessdecutie18 Posted March 31, 2010 Author Posted March 31, 2010 Still waiting for a reply from the guy on Craigslist... I have no other way of contacting him. I don't want to get too excited until I hear more about this bird. Meanwhile I am reading up on them a bit! I like your pictures Jayd I'll let you guys know soon as I know!
Janfromboone Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 He's beautiful in spite of the plucking. I didn't know ring necks could be yellow. I'd wonder why they adopted (not bought) him and they couldn't keep him?
Jayd Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 IRN's come in assorted colors, green, yellow, blue................

I hope that birdy gets a good home! EDITED to say that this fell through...

Greywings Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 The right bird will come along sooner than you may think. You just never know what tomorrow will bring.>:>
JungleDreamz Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 Awe, Well hopefully he got a better home...Keep searching!
Luvparrots Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 Oh so sorry Jess, but the right fid for you will come along.
JillyBeanz Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 My little thought about this baby is that it has gone to a loving, forever home. People all over want the "perfect specimen". This one has imperfections, so only a dedicated, loving parront (such as yourself) would consider taking this bird on for it's personality and not it's "beauty". Just means there's another one out there for you to "save". Just keep looking x
pearllyn Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 Yes - I agree with Jill! Only the "right" sort of person would take on a less than perfect bird. It's not like they're gonna buy a plucker as a fashion accessory! GOod luck with your search.
