Re: Help Battered and Bruised....

Ok so my new tactic will be to let it be until he seeks me out. This evening I talked to him to say hi and fed him but that was it. Now I'm sitting here on the couch and he walked over......so new ignore and conquer....we'll see how that works.

Re: Help Battered and Bruised....

So we have no clue if Charley is a boy or a girl yet. I am starting to see darkening around the neck...so for some reason I'm ...

Re: Help Battered and Bruised....

The only thing that would be different enough that I can think of, and I'm not even sure this would make such a drastic change in attitude, is that I was on holidays for two weeks and home with him most everyday. Even if I'm not home he's out of the cage with my daughters so it's not like he's stuck...

Help Battered and Bruised....

Where as up until last week he would barely tolerate anyone but me. I can't even take him out of his cage anymore. I never stick my hand in his ca...

Charley from Canada's Human scored a win today.....

One small step for Charley's human today....I finally was able to scritch him. I haven't been able to do that to him yet. He's only ever allowed me to snuggle him with my nose or cheek.

Hello from Charley the IRN from Canada.

Hi There, We've only just purchased our IRN this past March. I've had budgies and have a Conure as well but this is a first with a ringneck. Normally we purchased through reputable breeder but I saw Charley at a local pet store and just felt a connection. They were selling him at half the cost becau...
