Their story
Every animal at Get To Know Animals is a rescue. Donna and Rob, the founders, give animals a second chance — there are no breeding programmes here.
Behind every smile is a story. Animals like Indian Ringneck Parakeet often arrive because a home changed, a rescue needed space, or someone realised wild beauty deserves expert care. We promise warmth, the right food, enrichment and keepers who know each personality. When a child presses their nose to the glass and whispers ‘hello’, that second chance becomes a lifelong memory — for them and for Indian Ringneck Parakeet.
The rose-ringed parakeet, also known as the ring-necked parakeet, is a medium-sized parrot in the genus Psittacula, of the family Psittaculidae. It has a disjunct native range in tropical northern Africa and the Indian subcontinent, and is now introduced into many other parts of the world where populations have established themselves having been bred for the exotic pet trade and then escaped. Adults often remember: Species of bird. At Get To Know Animals we turn those wild facts into daily care — the right heat, humidity, UV where needed, climbing or digging space, and food that matches what Indian Ringneck Parakeets evolved to eat.
It costs over £35,000 every month to feed, heat and care for 300+ animals. Parrots need lifelong fruit, pellets, foraging toys and specialist avian vets — a single macaw’s annual care can rival a family pet’s entire budget. Adopting Indian Ringneck Parakeet, sponsoring a meal, funding the wish list or joining Patreon isn’t ‘extra’ — it’s how Indian Ringneck Parakeet eats next Tuesday when the weather is quiet and the till is slow.
You can help today: adopt Indian Ringneck Parakeet, buy a treat, play Get To Feed Animals, or become a monthly patron. Every pound is love you can measure in full bowls, warm lamps and wagging (or flicking) tails.
