Fresh water means bath time right 🤷🏼♀️.
Rookie error I should know to vacuum before they spread more water than an elephant with its truck! 🤦🏼♀️
I added these beautiful babies to my flock. Drogon and Maylese, yes I love my House of the Dragon 🐉
Cheeky checking out these funny things that look like him. 🤦🏼♀️
Smokey’s loves watching SP Rocket dance and sing the cookie song. A song he has mastered himself and I wake to every morning.
His excitement when I put it on the TV instead of my mobile was real 🤣🤣
Today my foot was the object of Smokey’s affection 🤦🏼♀️
Late night cuddles after last feed

Cheeky agreeing with me over a rubbish call in the footy.
We rescued gizzy 4 weeks ago, he can not fly due to the worst hack job on his wings I have ever seen. I can’t wait till the grow so he can fly.
Both boys are usually more solitary birds but they seem to be liking each others company getting closer to each other every day

What goes into hand raising? ALOT of time. Here is a Timelapse of me feeding them.
How long it takes and how offten depends on the ages of the birds. At these ages with 10 birds it takes roughly 45 minutes every 4 hours.
You can also see the cheeky and Gizzy playing around in the background

A bit of a happy video for the night.
This is Ajax. He will be 2 in September. He has grown into a very sweet bird.
Many people want ringnecks because of videos like this and many others. What you didn’t see was the bluffing (teenage) stage, the bad behaviour, stubbornness and lots more.
Ringnecks require a lot of patience time and love and they can be a very rewarding animal. I don’t NOT recommend them for first time bird owners as people that don’t understand the breed quite often give up on them in the bluffing stage and there are so many under 2 in rescues.
Always research and animal you buy.
But enjoy Ajax showing off 🦜🩵

Don’t forget to keep your birds out of the heat. It’s 🥵 outside and tomorrow is supposed to be worse. Bring them in if you can.
In my aviaries I have a misting system set up which keeps their cage cool and they can get under it when they want. Here’s one aviary enjoying it

What’s it like owing birds? Messy!! Here’s Cheeky helping me to start mopping my floors! Though he will do this again the moment they are clean

Budgies are not the only birds we have in our home.
Meet Ajax. He is a 1 year old Indian ringneck. We have handraised him since he was 4 weeks old. He is a loving bird with loads of personality. Indian ringnecks are not a first time bird. They can very difficult at times in their first year and when this happens people will rehome them thinking they are nasty or untame, leading to the amount of ringnecks in rescues looking for homes. As you can see it’s so rewarding.
Like any animal always consider yours And the birds needs. Do you have the time and patience for a bird?
2 of our little ones chilling with me while I work.
All our handraised babies are with us from 2 weeks and socialized with us to make sure they are the best birds for when they go to their new homes
