Hi everyone! I've just recently acquired two parrots and thought it would be a good idea to join up for advice and tips from the masters! I volunteer at a wildlife rehab centre in Perth Australia, and the parrots both were saved from euth but have disabilities. Australian Ringneck (28) is blind in one eye and galah has a large cyst on one wing which means she will never fly (it's non painful and doesn't interfere with everyday life). Plan was for the Wildlife centre to keep them for educational purposes but DBCA said no so I'm giving them a long and *hopefully* happy life with me! I've never had birds before but always wanted, was just the right timing. Both have outside time everyday, in the afternoon during the week and with breakfast on the weekends, but are generally inside birds. They each have their own cage while they try to become friends, currently tolerating each other but not BFF's by any stretch of the imagination
I do training everyday for as long as I can keep their attention, both still very young so doesn't take much for something else to occupy their fancy. Both very tame and loving, in their own ways. 28 interaction is on their own terms and galah is like 'just give me scritches already'![Rolling on the floor laughing :rofl: 🤣](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f923.png)
Thanks for having me, looking forward to chatting to you!
