Hi - I am Asia and with me is Sidney, Indian Ringneck Parrots, or Parakeets. I'm Asia, the beautiful yellow female.

And this is Sydney, the male, notice the handsome ring marking around his neck- only men have that dark ring!

We are enthusiastic eaters! We love just about everything that you like. Our main diet is a delicious mash of vegetables, legumes, and some fruit that we both love. We also enjoy our Harrison's pellets, we are definitely healthy birds. We love a spray or a dog watering bowl bath (no dogs allowed!) about once a week, and LOVE being dried with a hair drier!

Me, Asia- I am ok to have you sit near me but I am very afraid of getting picked up or handled. I have healed injuries that came from a traumatic incident with a human that I can't seem to get over. The vet looked me over in January 2010 and determined that the lump on my head and the missing toes are old and not a problem. I am a wee bit awkward getting around so give me time. If I *ahem* very gracefully trip off the cage I know to climb a wooden ladder to get myself back up.

I am missing feathers around my eye which seems to be the work of my mate Sydney, who sits and picks at my eye area- a sort of preening, I guess. Sometimes he is a pain; when you offer me food he is always beaking at me to make me move away, so I like it when you give us each treats at the same time. I am the alpha around here, and don't really care for other birds. I guess I'll let Syd talk now..

I am Sydney: protector and guardian of all things Asia. I am basically a great guy, and sometimes I even step up for you, on a perch or hand. I am very social and outgoing, and love to fly around the house. I call to Asia and she will fly over to me. I get protective during breeding season, but we've never had eggs or chicks so far. [whew]
