Oska the Indian Ringneck Parrot

.

Here is a picture of Oska the Indian Ringneck Parrot. Albino, and when in the right light Oska appears to have a blue tinge through his feathers.

I got him when he was about 6/7 weeks old, he was just starting to nibble the seed and was still being hand fed. Being a honey eater he loves getting nectar plants when in season, bottle brush, gravillea, flowering gumtree etc and gets a honey supplement when not in season.

He's about 1 year and 3 months old when this pic was taken.

He says about 12 words, eg. "hello pretty boy", "Come and hop on". Oska can imitate the dogs bark, yap and howl, he does the phone really well.

When inside the house he comes out of the big cage and flies around.

He doesn't bite at all, very friendly to anyone who will pay him some attention.
Oska loves to get in the shower and in the kitchen sink with the water running, he rolls over on his side and lies under the water spray till he is completely soaked.

He loves to sit on the dogs back, although the dog is not too keen about it, and heads under the chairs and tables hopeing to give Oska the brush.

Oska also luvs a cuddle and scratch.
