Hey guys!

I have a blue Indian Ringneck. His name is Jake the Peg (I will explain the story shortly). He is a beautiful looking bird. He is a light blue colour with a big red beak and a thick black ring around his neck.
Now an explanation for the name...
He was nameless for a good 3-4 months. He then somehow got out of his cage and sadly my dogs got to him. I thought he had just flown away until I found his feathers beside our garage. I was scared to find out what was around the corner but I had a look anyway. All I could see was his red beak sticking out from the piles of wood behind the garage. I scooped him up (the only time he didn't bite me haha) and noticed his leg was hanging as it was broken. I took him to the vet ASAP and they said I had 3 options. Put him down, chop it off or fix it. I fixed it :-). He then had a pin put in his leg and a splint and a cone over his head to stop him biting it.
My dad suggested I call him Jake the Peg after that. It is some old character I think.
Anyway that is my story. I will post a pic of him when i get a decent one!
