      Foreword

      Hello and thank you for buying my book.

      In this book you will find some wonderful information to help you care for your Ringneck Parakeets. I’ve included in this book information about care, habitat, cages, enclosure, diet, facts, set up, food, names, pictures, life span, breeding, feeding cost and a care sheet.

      I have written this book using American spelling as that is what I’m used to. I have given measurements in both feet and inches/pounds and ounces and also in metric. I have also given costs in US$ and GBP. Both the measurements and costs are approximate guides. I have done my best to ensure the accuracy of the information in this book as at the time of publication.

      I trust that after reading this book you will enjoy the experience of owning and looking after a Ringneck Parakeet and that you have a wonderful time enjoying the pleasure they bring in the years to come!

      All good wishes,

      Rose Sullivan

      Acknowledgements

      I would like to extend my sincerest thanks to my dear friend Katherine for all her input in assisting me put this book together. She has long experience of looking after Ringneck Parakeets and without her feedback I’m sure I’d have missed something.

      I must also thank my husband Marc and our children Mike and Cathy for their love and patience as mom taps away on her computer. Their understanding and love for my passion made the whole journey worthwhile.
