Choosing an Indian Ringneck

Picture
Ringnecks come in a beautiful variety of colours. The choice is yours. 

Choose one that you bond with right away, it's hard choosing one when their are so many but if you choose with your gut instinct you can't go wrong. 

I had a green one Rascal and now I have a yellow one, Chiquita.

Choosing a Healthy Ringneck

No discharge around the nares

They should not be wheezing or breathing heavy

If they are puffed up shaking they are sick

Nice clean bum, not matted and dirty

Nice clean looking feathers 

Active and alert

Do not pick one that is vomiting - like you didn't know that

They should not have diarrhea
