Adopted




We've adopted a new family member. It is a Grey-Green (or Olive we arent sure) Indian Ring Neck baby, about 2-3 months old. It's in the house being handled as often as possible. Once we have our own babies it will have cage mates, and go to the dream garden aviary when the time comes. We hope to have the dream garden aviary a sit in aviary with tame birds, unlike our breeding pair that are near wild. Except when it comes to my husband of course- they love him.

We have not given it a name... we wont know its sex until maturity,... or when I DNA sex it. I don't like the idea of making it bleed though- so we may find a unisex name.

Dev & Divi

Dev & Divi are our spoiled rotten, proven pair, Blue Indian Ringneck Parrots (Parakeet). They have a spacious outdoor aviary & are fed a standard pellet diet. We treat with fresh fruits & veggies during season. I just mixed up a batch of dried treats to add to their spring mix.


Includes:

sunflower seeds
Peanuts
wheat pasta twists
vegetable pasta twists
Penne pasta
Lentils
dried papaya
brown rice
Honey nut Cheerios

We add pine nuts & berries when we feel like it, or when we remember (they are stored in the freezer).
