    Male Indian Ringneck Bird, 3 Years Old for Sale in Merseyside

    Accessories included
    3 years♂

    £225

    Gorgeous 3-year-old male green Indian Ringneck looking for a lovely new home. He has a great little personality and is making really good progress with training. He will take apple and treats directly from my hand and is getting really good with “come and see me” and “stay” — he clearly understands and is learning. He doesn’t talk and doesn’t step up yet. He isn’t comfortable being handled, and because I currently struggle to get him back into his cage without causing him stress, he doesn’t come out of the cage at the moment. I think with someone who has the time and experience to continue working with him, he could make much more progress. This is the reason I’m considering finding him a new home. There is absolutely nothing wrong with him — I simply don’t feel I can give him the time and dedication he deserves. He comes with his very large cage and all of his toys, so he’ll have everything familiar around him when he moves. I won’t let him go to just anybody. I’d really like someone who understands parrots and is prepared to give him time and patience. £225 including large cage and toys. Please message me and tell me a little about the home you could offer him.
