Skye now shakes hands :)

Just wanted to share with you guys that I have just taught Skye to 'shake hands' :) But she (yes, I'm sure its a girl) will only do it for a 'treat' of a corn kernal lol. I still think its progress and I am happy with it :) Hoping to teach her more things. Does anyone have any other ideas for tricks...

Re: Hello from New Zealand!

I completely understand that, Evey. You should absolutely call your vet and see what they think. If a beak gets too long it can cause problems for the bird in relation to eating etc. I have a cockatiel and a budgie whose beaks need to be trimmed every now and again due to the same problem. Keep us p...

Re: Hello from New Zealand!

Skye and hair

Hey guys quick question: My 10 week old turquoise-blue IRN has a habit of climbing up onto my head and trying to nest. What I want to know was WHY? None of the others try this but Skye also does this to my partners hair but not my mums. Is it because we have thicker hair? Will Skye grow out of it? P...

Hey guys, My name is Antoinette and I am a 21 year old (relatively) NEW Ringneck owner :) My little darling is about 10 weeks old (as yet unsexed but taking to the vets on Thursday for the feather plucking), turquoise-blue, that I have named, as you may be able to tell, Skye. I also have a grey male...
