Thank you. I may just go for my original idea and get a canary (in a separate cage). I was worried about her during the day getting bored because I work and thought a friend may help. A canary would be interesting for her to watch. Do you guys think that would be a good idea?  Leah<o:p></o:p>

Here she is again to give you a better idea of her size...Im worried now that she is to small...

 

 

Hope you don't mind me asking!  Is that a rabbit cage.  I saw one in a cataloge and thought it would be a good cage for a handicapped bird.

Oh dear, did my comment make you worry? Please don't. I have never seen a ringneck so I assumed they were lots larger than she is. I bet she is a perfectly sized little birdie gal.

She surely is a pretty thing. Love that red eye ring and red beak.

Hi indy.

 As I understand, The pet shop was selling them for necter eating birds as you can just put sawdust in the bottom and not have two many probs with cleaning up ( the pet shop is called the Bird Barn and that is all they sell...bird stuff). The pet shop had some Lorrikeets in one for sale (The Lorrikeets). It was bigger than anything else they sold and I wanted a big cage. It was also a good price. ($200) She seems to love the sidways room more than up and down anyway. But I'm sure the box said for small animals so its a whatever-you-want-to-put-in-me-cage....Lol..............Leah

 

 

This is the bird I was thinking of getting....I think it’s a cross between a Moustache parrot and a Lutino Ringneck. Someone I know is trying to find him a home. But I think I've decided not to. Too many variables. Leah<o:p></o:p>

Oh my, he is gorgeous. I looked him up and he's 13-14 inches long so is still a very small bird because the tail is so very long.

He looks almost exactly like the mustache shown here in the Lexicon of Parrots. There are several subspecies shown if you click each name. This site is wonderful at identifying pet birds.

I keep this site in My Favorites because I look in there so often.

Annie

What a beautiful bird! Looking for a home you say? Where is he located?

Derb

That bird is so pretty!   By chance today Dr Foster and Smith mag came for small pets today and that cage is in there.  If you ever decide to get another cage like that they have yours for $119.99 and a larger one for $136.99.  Thought I'd tell you so maybe you can save some money.

 

Indy

Thanks Indy . I'm not sure if we get that mag down here (New Zealand). Will have to look. And Thats were the bird is Derb.....Auckland New Zealand....Lol...Leah

I bet you can't get that catalog, Leah. I am pretty sure they don't ship goods out of the U.S. Seems like I checked for someone in Canada once, and they weren't shipping to Canada either.

I get so many of their catalogs I get aggravated at them. They are fun to look through, though.

Annie

LOL!  They probably don't sell in New Zealand!  The shipping would probably cost more than the cage!  I wish I would have seen that cage for our bunny.  It looks way nicer than then the large metal cage we had.  I like the way it is up off the ground!

 

Annie I get all those catalogs too.  We get then for dogs,birds,fish, and small critters.  Then they seem to come so often and nothing changes in their catalogs.  I ordered some rope,leather,and stainless quick links today!  they come in handy sometimes.  But they accumalate real fast!

 

Indy

Indy, I just started getting the wild birds catalog and I love it. They could keep the aquaruim and a few others. They do come way too often so I toss most of them but keep one current issue for me and one to give away.

Annie

That's a neat cage for the right types of birds  As far as putting another bird with that one.....when I saw the first picture, I thought it as a budgie, which wouldn't be much of a problem.  But reading down and discovering it's a Ringneck....and especially a female....it would take a much bigger enclosure than that one, to put two together.  Female Ringnecks are quite territorial and aggressive.  My older female escaped her cage and attacked a budgie, who was minding her own business INSIDE her cage, ripping off her entire beak.  And a young female  attacked and killed one of her siblings.
