ADOPTED! Latte & Lapis

This is Latte and Lapis.

This is what we know about them:

Latte and Lapis are very young, 1 year old Indian Ringneck Parrots. Both are sweet and step up, are extremely well flighted and great flyers, and have a holy ton of potential. Indian Ringnecks tend to be sought after birds because of all the videos on Youtube and Tiktok and everyone loves them because of their silly personalities.

When they are little, they go through a bluffing phase, which we believe is what led to them being surrendered. They bite and have micro aggressions and are generally naughty. They are a species that you MUST work with every day for them to remain handleable and trusting of humans. They are currently handleable and sweet and silly. They get into everything, they’re inquisitive and want to be moving around and exploring.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS:
Indian Ringnecks are illegal to possess in some states. Make sure your state is not one of them before applying for him. These birds may not be split up, but should be caged separately, near each other.

***Information that is universal to every bird:

1) Birds are typically not family animals. They usually choose a favorite and at best you can expect them to tolerate everyone else.

2) Birds are not great with kids, dogs, other birds, and are not cuddly with everyone, nor can they really be trained to be. Birds are flock animals, who are social creatures that need to be in a communal area where they can see the rest of the family, or you may eperience serious vocalization and behavior problems. We’ve never met a bird who is great with kids, but we have met kids who are respectful of birds.

3) Birds bite. But, you shouldn’t “take the bite”. If you’re getting bit, you haven’t earned the trust of the bird, and are pushing the bird past his/her limits. You must figure out what the bird needs, and make what you’re asking of the bird more attractive than what they are already doing.

4) Birds are not “dominance” based creatures. Your only option for birds is to earn their trust. If they are, say…on top of a cage and don’t want to come down, that is where they feel safest, not a dominance thing. They are not trying to exert dominance, they just don’t want to come down. Your job as a parrot owner is to figure out what you can do to help them trust you, and whatever you are asking to be more attractive than what they are already doing.

5) NEVER send money over the internet for adoption with any individual or organization for the adoption of an animal you have not met in person. That is almost always a scam.
