Introduction:
Hi, my name is Blu! I am a blue Indian Ringneck and have been living with my safehouse since December 2023. I am a complete chatterbox and don’t stop talking from the minute my safehouse carer says good morning to the minute he says goodnight!
History/Background:
I have come back into the charity through no fault of my own and now I’m ready to find my forever home. I have had both male and female carers in the past and I have no preference.
Current presentation:
I’m a stunning, fully feathered bird!
Training:
I will step up on a perch for most people and will occasionally step up onto a hand (when I feel like it!). I much prefer being out of my cage and enjoy spending time sat on top of it watching what is going on. Sometimes I will happily sit on top of the sofa with my safehouse carer, but this is on my terms and may only be for a few minutes. I don’t enjoy being left alone and can be vocal when I feel like I’ve been forgotten about, but we are working on a routine to help with this.
Diet:
I am currently on a varied diet of Scarlett’s AS30 seed mix as well as fresh fruit and vegetables. I particularly enjoy kiwi, sweetcorn, and carrot, but my absolute favourite is apple! I get a little treat of an almond when I train with my safehouse carer.
Enrichment:
My biggest source of enrichment is hanging out with my safehouse carers, whether that be chilling on the sofa, sitting on top of the curtains, or having a chat with anyone who will respond! My favourite game is ‘peekaboo!’, but I also like to ask for a kiss, and can sing a few tunes, wolf whistle, ask you what you’re doing and tell ‘the birds’ to ‘c’mon!’.
Summary:
Blu is a lovely bird who would do well in a variety of environments. As long as Blu has plenty of interaction, love and care, Blu has the potential to be a great companion for the right family.
