In the winter the lowest possible temp. is -10 Celsius (14 F). The IRN's cage is in the balcony which is closable but without any hea...

Re: My first IRN - comment on age & sex please

Don't forget that when one bird lands on the other bird's cage, the bird inside may bite the toes of the bird outside. It's easy to see an IRN could remove a Budgie's toe, but as well a Budgie's bite could become infected and cause the IRN to lose a toe or worse. What you guys saying is very depres...

OK. I also have a tame budgie (the guy at my avatar). Do you guys think it is safe to introduce the budgie to the IRN? They will be free in a room and I will be supervising.

Re: My first IRN - comment on age & sex please

What do you mean by "parrots are the cichlids of the bird world?". Lovely little bird, but unless he/she was DNA sexed and the results given to you, you cannot tell what gender your bird is at this age. Nor is it possible to confirm the age, looking at your pics, I would hazard it is stil...

What can you say about this, looking at the below photos? Also Im told that it was bred in Czech. It has two collars around its feet but I have yet to ha...
