Male Indian Ringneck Bird, 3 Years Old for Sale in Merseyside
Accessories included£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.

Canary chicks typically sell for £25–£90 in the UK. Show strains such as Gloster, Border and Yorkshire cost more than pet-type birds.
Do canaries need company?+
They can live alone happily, unlike budgies, but males may stop singing if housed with other males. Never mix two males in a small cage.

Yes — they are hardy, quiet to care for and undemanding, as long as they get a wide cage, daily fresh food and clean water.
