my bird had his wings clipped recently , but the one who did it wasnt nice , when he grabbed him at first the bird was screaming at him and kept screaming through the process , when he returned him back inside his cage after clipping his wings he hit him on his mouth to stop screaming for like 3 or ...

chuckles

i made great progress with my bird for the last two month but i cant seem to make him like me , so far i taught him two tricks " kiss and turnaround" , when i open his cage and move away he comes out and sit atop of his cage and gets back in without flying somewhere else even though he don...

chuckles

im so sorry for your loss

, who are those two females and why was he attacked??

chuckles

lol my bird hardly touches his water container , birds are really different from one another

chuckles

Hi everybody, I have some question regarding my african RNs. My husband got me a pair of arn as mother day gift. I Love birds and I would love to have them tame. I am not so sure how old they are. The male Rio has the ring so iam assuming he is at least 3years old. The female Lulu is about the same...

chuckles

Hi chuckles I'm glad your bird is doing well. I personally wouldn't get your bird out of the cage by grabbing it unless it was really, really, really necessary. You need to try to coax it out with food. Even if it takes a couple of weeks. Be patient. Find out what your birds fav foods are, withdraw...

chuckles

my bird finally mastered turn around trick , even though he only do it when a treat is visible . i was really happy to see him starting to learn tricks but my bird still insist on being completely silent with me which is really strange . although he only do this trick in his cage which he is very at...

chuckles

do they like to be rubbed in the area under their wings?

chuckles

it was the same for me as your bird at first , if u wanna stroke it you can up from his back down to his tail . i think for starter don't touch his feet or his head or the upper part of his folded wings , mine got angry when i did that.

chuckles

what is irn and arn favorite place to get rubbed or cuddled?

chuckles

i dont know how clear is this in the photo but my bird upper beak is not completely red , the tip is black and the rest of the beak looks like corroded , could that mean he is very old??

chuckles

can anyone tell how old is my bird or at least tell if it is young or old

chuckles

ty for your input but what im trying to ask here is can i replace the seeds in his food container in the cage with a mix of fruits and vegetables or he would starve?

chuckles

currently my bird will only eat french millet and apple , no matter how many kinds of fruit and vegetables i offer him he wont eat it . so i thought maybe i can remove his seed mix "which he only eat millet out of the mix" and put banana or cucumber so that i can introduce him to a new food?

chuckles

maybe your bird is in the bluffing stage??

chuckles

dont irn over time when they trust their owner stop resisting grabbing??

chuckles

i put it in and the results were great , he started making sounds like crazy , it is really amazing what a cheap small mirror can do to a ring neck . btw i forgot to mention this in the original question but will my bird reflection in the mirror hurt my bonding with the bird?

chuckles

i posted in a earlier thread my my bird doesn't make any sound except when he is infront of a mirror so i decided to put a small mirror in his cage , is that a good idea . btw its a month now and my bird still dont make any sounds

chuckles

how often should i let my bird out of the cage and for how long? also should i leave him alone or go after him so he wont hurt himself?

chuckles

my bird is making decent progress everyday , when i open my palm infront of him he would often hop on also he let me stroke him everywhere on his body though he growl when i stroke the area under his wings . but sometime he really pisses me of when he move away from me on his perch when i approach h...

chuckles

thanks for the info

chuckles

i have put some magazine pages on the bottom of the cage to keep my bird cage clean but i noticed that my bird like to sit at the bottom of the cage and shred them into pieces . this made me wonder if it would be better to get him some toys . any ideas what sort of toys i can get him and btw i dont ...

chuckles

Morning everyone, I've had Tiko for about 4 days now.............. He gets alot of attention from myself and my finace but Tiko still seems to not settle with us! Tiko allows us to come up to his cage but doesn't like it at all when our hands come near him or the cage, we feel like he has been hand...

chuckles

He may just prefer to come out of his cage on his own. I rescued a pair of cockatiels where they would freak out if you stuck your hand in the cage to try to get them to step up but if you left the door open they would come out and step up from the top of the cage. Your little one sounds very sweet...

chuckles

Yes i read your other posts aswell. I think you need to work on your respect for your bird (if i may be so bold). It sounds to me like you need to chill out and back off - and give your bird some time and rest. These are smart animals! They're not like dogs, they're not here to please their owners ...

chuckles

finally my bird made some sounds after i put a mirror infront of him , it was so sweet to hear him for the first time , he made some low chirps and sounds , i hope this technique encourage him to make sounds without seeing his twin in the mirror . btw do my arn realize that this is his reflection or...

chuckles

my irn " it might be African ring neck not sure" only eats apples and one kind of seed from Trill seed mix , i think it is french millet . i tried to feed him cucumber , tomato , lettuce , guava , banana and orange but he just wont eat it . are those two types of food enough for him to sta...

chuckles

like the topics says , he doesnt seem to want to come out of its cage i tried to lure him out with treats "which is apples so far" but it didnt work , even when he slips and comes out of the cage he keep grabbing to it from the outside . he went out by himself couple of time when he was pl...

chuckles

I think it takes a lot longer than 2 weeks for any bird to really settle in (Obviously does depend on the bird itself) When we got Sullie, it took him well over a month to settle in and longer to make any sounds at all, he was just silent for well over a month, maybe two - Your IRN sounds like a lo...

chuckles

i really wouldn't complain if he made a sound every once and a while , but he don't make any kind of sound at all , i played so many videos with irn making sounds in-front of him but it didn't work . btw do irn need more than fifteen days to settle in? he eats apples off my hand and i can rub him an...

chuckles

is it normal for a parrot not to make any kind of sound for thirteen days??? i dont even want it to talk , just make any sounds . also he is definitely not afraid of me cuz i can touch him anywhere on his body without a problem. could it be mute?

chuckles

i brought my irn " it might be African ring neck as it have a blackish red beak" like 13th days ago but to this day he wont make a single sound , he stand on my hand to eat apple , i can rub him everywhere on his body " most of my family can do that even though i look after him mainly...

chuckles

my bird have no problem standing on the palm of my hand but just for apples , if there isnt food he wont stand on my finger or palm , it is really frustrating , atm i can stroke his head and body but i dont think he is building any kind of bond with me , how do u make the bird stand on ur hand or fi...

chuckles

thanks for ur reply , btw it is the ninth day now and he didnt make a single sound except when he scream if i get my hand near him when i let him out of the cage or when he make pain sound when one of his fingers get caught between the cage bars at the top of the cage , is that normal??

chuckles

anyone????

chuckles

i recently bought a irn from some indian guy , he told me he is 6 month old though later on i found out that irn with black ring are over 2 yr old , which my bird already have . anyway when i was at his store he would put his hand in the cage then the bird would jump on it , then the bird jumped to ...
