Hi all, Rise today flew over and sat on my laptop cover and as I talked to him, he put out his wings and displayed his tail feathers much like when we give him and his bother a shower. I was wondering if he truly was telling me it was time to give him a shower or do you think he was telling me he wo...

Hi Chris, I am not expert - I just have had two males for over a year now. My boys are very talkative - no real words yet but I can tell from the sing song that do, they are working on words and phrases - they just sound different from each other (the words and phrases - some are pretty cool and I d...

Hi all, Here's the latest video of our babies (Rise and Shine) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dexv0bJyoJA enjoying a shower - we love giving them a shower!!! They are soooo beautiful with their wings out and tail feathers fanned out. I hadn't see many (well any until today) videos of IRNs taking a ...

Hi Maverick and AJPeter, I guess it's good we have found something our babies like as my boys like to sit on top of their playstands and play so I hang things that they can pull up to themselves and then use as foot toys. We have miniature dachshunds and if they drop things the dogs would either hav...

Hi all, I have shared with you all various toys I have made since we have had Rise and Shine and yes, there is something to "new-ness" of a toy but depending on the toy, they may lose interest fast. I have spent a lot of money on toys to have them check it out and then just leave it - if I...

Hi all, I made a new toy today again with milkshake straws and this time with a whiffle ball and I put some popsicle sticks inside the straws where I could as some straws were bent or very open without being pushed by other straws and so the popsicle sticks fell out of these straws. So here is the v...

Hi Wessel, I was thinking about plastic buttons and not metal and thought you would be telling me to be wary of metal buttons since my boys could get some sort of metal poisoning (zinc, etc.) so I am surprised you mentioned using metal - although, I can see that metal would be much more appealing to...

jenica1026

Hi Wessel, As soon as I can figure out what are safe buttons, I think I will try what you suggested. Oh, I put some peanuts and straws in a 8 oz clear plastic bottle and I guess I am finding out they can't get the cap nor the items out of it but it has kept them busy this morning and thank the Lord,...

Hi AJPeters, I have heard IRNs (well maybe all birds) like buttons - can you give them any kind of buttons? I purchased some from JoAnns that are various shapes with a Christmas theme imprinted (not painted) on them - could I give this to them? Since you have a female, is she trying to find somewher...

Hi all, I am trying to find a new way of present drinking straws to Rise and Shine as I think our run with the milkshake straws is over and they are screaming more and not playing - well, Shine seems disinterested. My problem isn't as much with them as I understand boredom but my husband is screamin...

jenica1026

Hi all, I decided to try stuffing the milkshake straw with some Wrights 12/32" / 9.5 mm cotton filler cord (it came in a 6 yd. package) I got from JoAnn Fabric and Craft store. I cut the milkshake straw in thirds so about 3" and I cut the cord about 6-8" and stuff the straw with it an...

Hi all, Just an update - Rise and Shine are back in the same cage and okay with that and their play area is only on the bookcase now so that helps me put them to bed at night. Of course, their play area is anywhere they want to be as they are flying over to sit on our laptop screens and the back of ...

jenica1026

Hi all, Today has been a pretty good day with Rise and Shine. We had someone come visit and maybe they were just on their good behavior. There was some of Rise bluffing Shine off of playstands and thankful Shine flying to other playstands and not just cowering down and sitting over on the parrotlets...

jenica1026

Hi IMRAN-C, Thank you for your reply. I know I have caused this (or it is very coincidently). You can see from the video that they did play most of the time just fine - usually one on one cage top and the other on the other cage top. Rise is now not letting Shine sit on the parrotlets' cage top (by ...

jenica1026

Hi all, I tried doing a search on "territory" and didn't see this issue but that does not mean it has not been talked about before so please someone point me to previous messages (if there are any). Okay with that said, I have just learned something new about our boys today. I thought we h...

jenica1026

Hi all,

I finally got a video for you all to see the boys (Rise and Shine) playing with their toys and you can see what I made for them.

Enjoy, Jan

Hi all, You might be sick of hearing about the toys I make but I did say I would update you on the cat drum toy. So to find more for myself, I went back to Pet Supplies Plus and asked about this toy to see if they could order it since they have not gotten any more in. It turns out that this toy (2 d...

jenica1026

Hi all, For those who have read my posts on the 4 toys that I make for Rise and Shine before, there is no need to read all of this. I was just curious about my monetary cost for these toys and the up keep to re-make these toys so if you would like to know just look at the bolded title and the bolded...

jenica1026

Hi MissK, I'm glad I gave you all an update on Rise and Shine as I don't want to create a bigger monster than I have - either biting or wanting a wilder ride, etc. It goes to show that you can't (once again) believe everything you read or see on the Internet. I don't grab Rise or Shine even if they ...

Hi In the Air, I have seen Peekaboo Parrot owner say "No" to Bowie when he was going to chew on her computer (perhaps she doesn't do this all the time and just did that on a video but he seemed to understand and stop) and so I thought it was something you could instill in a parrot so I tha...

jenica1026

Hi all, I have been busy with life things and just thought I would give you an update on Rise and Shine as we are enjoying their antics. Today as I was making a new drinking straw and clothes pin chain toy (I alternate sliding on pieces of drinking straw with tying on a half of a wooden clothes pin ...

jenica1026

Hi Mary, Thanks for the reply - does your male also growl? Rise is molting and perhaps just edgy but he is growling (a deep gravel sound) and a bit nippy. He certainly isn't sweet and cuddly - lol! He is still getting to know us and the last few days, he has decided to jump from the top of his cage ...

jenica1026

Hi, Thanks for sharing this video on IRNs in the wild in London. I think it is great that they can live in England and that some people love them - they certainly are beautiful with their long tails flying - I wonder where the lady got the peanut feeder - Rise and Shine would love it! - lol! Thanks ...

jenica1026

Hi all, I have a new toy that your IRNs might like. I saw a video awhile back that showed a parrot using wooden clothes pins (without the metal - just twist them apart and take it) as foot toys. So while in Lowe's I pick some up and Rise and Shine really liked these and they last longer than popsicl...

jenica1026

Hi all, Rise is jumping around and talking and his wings are out slightly - it looks a lot like this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18AQv1lfF8k but his wings are just slightly out and there is no hen to be showing off to - in fact, he is on top of an empty cage jumping around on the plexiglas...

Hi Jamie, I have noticed feathers that look ragged at times. I have encouraged preening by taking a spritz water bottle (spray bottle) and putting some warm water in it and spritzing my boys in the morning when it is getting warmer (like around 9/10 a.m.) and it depends on how low your A.C. is set t...

jenica1026

Hi IntheAir and Donovan and all, Yes, we do have a problem telling the boys apart - right now Shine's ring is coming in better than Rise's but when both didn't have rings - I told the guy who had them that to me they looked just the same except when we first got them that Shine's tail was shorter wh...

jenica1026

Hi all, I forgot to say that we got a cheap baseball cap at Wal-Mart yesterday as Shine likes biting on the bill of the cap and my husband other baseball caps were just yucky from sweat, etc. so we got a new one just for Shine to play with my husband. It is sooo cute he bites on the bill and lifts u...

jenica1026

Hi MissK and all, Thanks - it would be funny if I could link you to a "Thanks" but I know of one - lol! Several of the things I have read suggested baby toys so I went to Wal-Mart and found this http://www.walmart.com/ip/Bright-Starts-Rattle-Shake-Barbell/15769601 which I shuck while stand...

jenica1026

Hi Melika and IntheAir Thank you for responding and your comments. I want to be a good bird owner (or rather a good person who their birds own). And as you can see I can't do Facebook as I just can't say "cool" (or short phases, etc.)- lol! I am glad to have found this group as I hope you ...

jenica1026

Hi all, Thanks to all who have viewed my post but I am wondering why you didn't respond by telling me about your IRN's favorite toy. I know IRNs are different and perhaps the toy your IRN(s) like, mine won't but our boys are molting, getting their rings in and screaming a lot. I mean they are not ev...

jenica1026

Hi all, I am new here and as I looked for toy ideas for my boys (two lutino IRNs - Rise and Shine - Shine got his ring a week ago and it is still being defined and Rise (I think I can see) has glimpses of red/pink so the verdict is still out but his previous owner who could handle him (I am still ea...

jenica1026

Hi,

Can't you be the treat? If he gladly walks over and steps up on you and I am sure you are praising him - can't you be the treat - whatever he does, can't it be verbal praises (instead of food) - does he like and get head scratches from you? How about that as a treat? Just a thought. Jan

jenica1026

Hi Intheair,

What a great idea of the pill container. I will have to try this. Thanks Jan

jenica1026

Hi all, I am not sure what kind of cat toy you are talking about that will open up as pressed so you can make it a foraging toy - can someone post a website where you can find this toy? Or any of these other toys that you are saying your IRNs like. I know the typically cat toys with bells like this ...
