We’re happy to share that Lollie has now been Rehomed!
Thank you to everyone who expressed interest and helped spread the word.
We are posting this on behalf of the owner of the below bird. We are assisting with rehoming by allowing the owner to advertise on our page. If you are interested in the below bird please contact the owner on the contact details at the bottom of this post.
"Lollie is Free to a good home, but will not be rehomed to just any home, applicants will be asked questions, and will need to provide photos to the owner"
Name: Lollie
Species: Indian Ringneck
Age: unknown, estimated to be between 8-10 years old
S*x: Female
Location: Taringa, QLD
Background: Lollie was rescued from a Facebook rehoming service after being found after a cyclone having escaped from a local aviary further up north qld. She has been in my care for 7 years and has lived alongside other Indian ringnecks, cockatiels and an alexandrine parrot. Having best company with the larger birds rather than smaller parrots. She has cohabitated with dogs and cats without issue, so she can live in a pet friendly household.
Behaviour: She has always been a sweet girl, usually bonding well to one or two people closely. She is able to be handled and will step up to your hand/ fly to your shoulder but she can be very sensitive and will resort to biting if frightened. She will happily sleep on your shoulder as a study buddy or walk around the floor around your company, but she does require a lot of time outside of her cage to socialise with people.
In the past year however, her breeding behaviours have been more and more apparent and she regularly needs to have toys/paper lining removed from her cage to reduce her regurgitating. She has laid eggs previously, usually in batches of 3, however none have stayed intact and have been laid from height. This has been as a direct result from her regurgitation/ hormonal behaviours.
She enjoys being scratched on her head and will throw her head back and purr like a cat when happy. Although this can quickly turn to a hormonal display.
Training/skills: She is able to step up and has great capacity for learning as she has been able to fly to your person on command in the past. She does not talk and is generally quiet but likes to mimic outdoor birds and small children squealing/ chirping.
Diet/medical concerns: Lollie is very healthy and has never had any medical issues/concerns but is overdue for a visit to an avian specialist. She has a pellet diet with regular access to fresh fruits/vegetables. Her favourite treats are banana, watermelon, pine nuts, walnuts and grapes/berries.
Ideal rehoming scenario: I would love for Lollie to go to a loving home where she can socialise with other birds and spend a lot of time with her favourite humans. I think she may do well with the option to breed later on in her life but I would just love for her to get the attention she really needs from an experienced owner. She still has her cage and some toys for her enrichment and these can be rehomed with her if required.
