HI All, So i am busy hand raising my first baby IRN. Took it out the nest at about 4 weeks, probably a bit late, but the mother was doing such a good job. So when i removed the baby i noticed that his left wing is deformed. it seems to be a lot smaller than the right wing. I am hoping this wont caus...

So just an update. Out of the 4 eggs layed. 2 hatched, of which one dissappeared. Not sure what happened to the baby? So I still have one baby left. It's about a week old now. Mom and dad are such caring parents. And often find both in the nest. Mom allows me to look in the nest. And baby seems to b...

about a day i would say. do you think the eggs will still be ok?

Seems my yellow bird has taken over the nest. but she not sitting on the eggs, just preventing the mother to enter. Should I put het in a separate cage?

So this morning i as i am about to leave i notice that my one female is not moving around like she normally does (Yellow female). Upon investigation it looks as if she hurt, though i can't see any blood. She is on top of my grey females breeding box. Do you think it is possible that they got into a ...

Hi Wessel, is it true that in SA we now need a permit to keep IRN?

Thanks Wessel.

Just had to make sure.

ok finally managed to upload photos. Probably not the best quality, but it the only way i could get it done.

If someone can confirm if these are infact IRN or ARN i will much appreciate.

thanks

The daddy

This is the mommy to be

My other pair

These are the paired birds

keeps saying my photo file is too big. Can anyone help please?

So I was going through some of the topics and saw someone asked if their birds were Indian or African. Seen as I not an expert thought I wud do the same to make sure. Not sure how to upload the photos... Eish

thanks, will do the refrigerated water idea, cause it getting rather hot here now.

oh wow, he is so beautiful!

found this very interesting, cause i didn't even know, the colours came with different names. To me its green,blue or grey. So you can mix the colours when breeding? What is the most sort after colour or most expensive? Hope you don't mind me asking, but i am new to this whole thing. Also not sure i...

Hi, since she started laying the eggs last week, she has been in and out. But the last 2 days i have noticed that she more in the box than out of the box. I checked again this morning, and there now 4 eggs. I know she started laying quite late, but that was cause we put the breeding boxes in very la...

Sorry to hear about your chick. I would cry.
Yes it her first hatch. I see she Been on her eggs most of the day today. Can't wait to see what we get.

Unfortunately my breeding box mounted against side of aviary so not easy to tilt. But will keep an eye on what's happening in there. I so excited. This is my first batch of eggs, so I just hope it works out.

Hi Wessel, Thsnks for the info, if I am correct first babies should hatch end of the month. I will definitely keep a close watch on what's happening in the nest, now that I know it actually ok to do that. The aviary close to my bedroom window, so look forward to hearing the baby birds. Will keep you...
