For Adoption: Indian Ringneck Parrot with cage toys food supplies - $800 (Stacy)
QR Code Link to This Post
She is an Indian Ringneck parakeet, green, female. She's about three or four years old, now. (I have her exact hatch date on paperwork I'll dig out later)
I have extensive information about her. Her habits and behaviors, her favorite foods, least favorite foods, perches and toys, her known history. I adopted her from another when she was about three or five months old or so. Just a baby ;-;
If you're not curious to know everything you can about her, then i know you're not a bird person, and you're not actually interested in Echo. She's not a toy or a collectors item; she's an individual being who recognizes when people are treating her well or poorly and reacts accordingly.
I'm looking for someone who wants a highly intelligent, energetic companion. Echo needs space to fly, LOVES to fly, loves playing with toys and foraging, and she's not physically affectionate except on her terms. She does however want to be near you and hates being alone as most birds do, and is incredibly social.
She plays with toys and so long as all her needs are met, is a very quiet bird between the usual times of noisiness (breakfast, lunch, dinner, occasional alarm calls for weird things like a mouse in the room or her water dish or food dish need service). I'm not saying she can't get loud; she can and she will. But she does not have any behavioral screening problems, and she uses a wife variety of calls for specific communications. I can tell the difference between her actually needing something, and her just being theatric in expression.
She has struggled with confinement and is not friendly with other birds. Currently, she's well adapted, as i have worked with her on her fear of being caged. As long as you make sure to let her out daily so she can fly and play (multiple times best), she'll be comfortable being asked to entertain herself in her cage when needed. I've worked hard to keep her from relapsing into the habits she had when i adopted her, and she's done exceptionally well with rare relapse. (And every time was my fault, for not meeting her needs)
I've set the adoption price high to scare off the flippers and the window shoppers, but it is also a very fair price;
Echo comes with her cage, cage raisers, a floor protector for underneath the cage, her snuggle heater, sunlight lamp, and all accessories that belong to her; dishes, a standing perch that's her favorite, a coconut perch she adores, all her toys, and some extra perches that aren't currently installed in her cage.
I don't really care about the money; i just need her to go to a good, loving home who can meet her needs and more. If you have space for a silly beepy bird who loves to sing and has just started to let me pet her head and give her beak kisses and boops, then hit me up. The sanctuary is full, so she's on a long wait-list.
I will require you to meet her at least once before adoption. I'm not giving Echo to just anyone no matter if you offer cash. It's crucial to me she goes to a good home. That's my highest, my *only* priority. She's my feathered kid. If i could, I'd keep her for life like i promised to. I can't, so I'm asking for help.
I've raised her to be a well adapted bird who no longer hurts herself trying to escape her cage. She willingly goes into it off her own accord now, and will also accept treat bribes when simply asking her to isn't enough. (She often goes inside just because i asked her to, she's familiar with the routine now). She's now at the stage of life where she's needing to play games, have fun, and build trust with her flock; I've taught her the survival skills and how to behave in a human household. Now she needs someone who can love her and continue that care and dedication.
