Hi All, Well its been a while since ive been on here,just thought id drop by and let you all know how Gizmo is doing,well he/she is about 4 months old now and doing great,our baby is still unsure of us trying to stroke and tickle but hopefully will come round,gizmo flys over and lands on us and espi...

donnanorm

Thats why I wanted a vid if you could get one, the first pic had me thinking boy straight up. He may be too young to display any behaviours yet. But I if I had to put money on it, I would say boy from that first picture. The stance, the feet, the shoulder out look, the shape of the beak and cheek l...

Hope this has worked http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa252/donnawilts34/th_a982f441.jpg just had to add another this is gizmo eating from hand first time ever ,there is a couple more in the album. http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa252/donnawilts34/th_39e659ac.jpg

donnanorm

ill try and get a video

,i know you cant tell till at least 3 yrs the sex of our Irns but any hints from the pics?

donnanorm

Yeaterday was the first time since owning gizmo that he/she came forward and started to eat from our hand,it was really great to see that he/she is starting to trust us.gizmo fav food is apples,gizmo was out of cage when i took a bite out of one,must love them as tryed to fly at my face to grab a bi...

donnanorm

how long does it take for the flight feathers to return to normal then,would you say that gizmo will get used to not being able to fly very quickly,weve not handled gizmo so with having the wings clipped would make it easier, but would he/she be agressive towards us as not being able to fly away.

donnanorm

Gizmo is still very unsure of us so he/she will only step up onto a stick,when we get gizmo on the stick and go towards the cage he/she just flyies away,takes several attemps but to no avail just wont go back in.

donnanorm

hi and yes i did receive the design,thanks very much,i did leave you a message not sure if you got it or not,thanks again anyway

donnanorm

We had to leave Gizmo out of the cage all night as trying to get him/her in was a nightmare,We try to get to the cage pretty quick to close the door when he/she pops in for something to eat,but we have been sussed I suppose the only way is resulting in getting wings clipped but we dont really want t...

donnanorm

today we left gizmos cage door only open very slightly,crafty thing climbed ontop of the cage , opened the door wide enough to enter and sat in there eating,after all the trouble yesterday of getting our baby back in

, didnt even make an attempt to fly back out

donnanorm

fantastic photos,thanks for sharing

donnanorm

we only had the choice of 2 blues as thats all that was available at the time

donnanorm

one thing ive noticed moving from england to northern ireland they say diffrent things lol

if we ask for a 99 meaning an ice cream with a flake ( english )
they ask for a poke

donnanorm

the bird from the stuart little movie..... forgotton the name

donnanorm

hi, i would love a signature made of my Irn for this site,if you would beable to help that would be great, i can email you some photos if you let me know your email address, thanks

donnanorm

all is going well with gizmo up until last night,gizmo normally goes into the cage no trouble normally when hungry,but last night trying to get the cage closed when inside was a nightmare , maybe we started off on the wrong foot by letting gizmo out to do own thing then go in when it likes,but now h...

donnanorm

Great videos, cant wait till my Gizmo says something

I know that needs alot of time and patience

donnanorm

by clipping Gizmos wings wouldnt that make our baby vicous,as he/she wouldnt beable to fly out of the way of us and do it own thing,My partner did suggest that but its not natural is it?

donnanorm

well Gizmo will fly around the room then land on the stick,i then hold him/her on the stick while talking but he/she walks as far to the end of the stick as he/she can theres not problem getting out of the cage,as soon as the doors open our babys flying around,when wanting food or drink will go back...

donnanorm

just some advice on moving from step up from a stick,gizmo does this fine when we hold a stick but wont come anywhere near us,its still early days only having him/her a week,but should i just let gizmo out the cage and do what he/she wants,gizmo comes and goes and out cage no problem,just cant get t...

donnanorm

thats ok no problem I apologise

donnanorm

Can you get a closer pic? That does not look good from the pic you have, It looks like it's nare is infected. Has this baby been vet checked? I strongly suggest that you take this baby to an avian vet ASAP. From other photos you have shared the baby just looks real unhealthy and I think another mem...

donnanorm

Only had our Gizmo 6 days today and he/she is doing great,we let him/her out the cage a couple of days ago, and now is returning to and from the cage itself which is great,I did think we would have trouble getting our baby back in but seems not to be . I can wait till im able to get close to Gizmo,h...

donnanorm

You're lucky you've only got grinding. My Nigel makes this annoying shrieking sound when he doesn't get his veggies fast enough in the morning...or he wants out, or just because he feels like it. LOL Gizmo made his first shrieking sound last night,he/she has only done this a few times since,its not...

donnanorm

after writing that Gizmo doesnt make any noise,well tonight he did

, must have been the music the other half was playing,it was only a few churps,at least we now know he/she can

donnanorm

Oh i know im extremly trigger happy at times

I will post a few more

donnanorm

Grinding noises are great! They are a contented sound. As for talking or other noise making...be patient. Sometimes it takes them a bit to get settled and start making a racket. Soon you will be happy when they shut up! Have any pics??? Love pics Dani Hi Dani,ty for assureing me all is ok with my G...

donnanorm

Since having our Irn Gizmo,ive not heard any sound coming from him/her,our baby has only been with us a few days so would this be due to settling in? ive heard a slight noise today its like a grinding sound but ive heard none of the usual sounds,should I be worried or will it take time?.Gizmo seems ...

donnanorm

yes please that be great

donnanorm

My Yoda had that too when we picked him up from the breeder. But it was very small and I didn't really notice it until we got home. I originally thought it was a bit wet or dirty around the nares since Yoda had a dirty tail aswell. It cleared up in a week though. The avian vet couldn't say either b...

Lauren wrote:Very cute! Looks quite young. Can I ask what the lil smudge is where the nares are? Looks like a blood spot.

Hi, we were wondering that ourselves,it was there when we purchased him/her, Gizmo came from an avery is about 10 weeks old,we thought maybe it was bitten by one of the other Irns.

donnanorm

Some more pics of my baby

donnanorm

All depends on the bird itself. Was he hand raised ? is he relatively tame ? Tame, take him out straight up, play with him and show him his surroundings. Untamed, give it a week to get use to the surroundings, then take things one step at a time. our baby has come straight from the avery away from ...

donnanorm

Weve had our IRN Gizmo coming 4 days,how long should we wait until letting him/her out of the cage,should our baby get used to surroundings from inside the cage first?

donnanorm

Thanks again,I would of thought too much sugar etc but i thought id ask just too see,thanks all for replys

donnanorm

I suppose with our baby Gizmo (10 weeks) and also only being with us 3 days, will take time for him/her to make any sound,but ive heard nothing from our baby since he/she arrived,Gizmo is eating and drinking well and is exploring the cage,I expect when settled then we shall here something

donnanorm

Just enquireing if the cereal bars you purchase from food stores are suitable for our IRNs,We have decided on naming our baby Gizmo,We are new to owning a pet bird so this site helps greatly with anything we are unsure about.He/she is a right little charactor and I cant wait for the time till he/she...

kyria wrote:Thats good

You mean smaller bar spacing ? not smaller size ? because the cage in the picture you showed in my opinion is too small for an IRN ..

Yes that correct

donnanorm

The design of the cockatiel cages are not, I repeat NOT appropriate for IRN's as the bars that bend around the edges are far too easily moved apart with only just a little pressure of a bird trying to escape it, and the bars of your cage look so thin that movement would be even easier. The bars mov...

julie wrote:Thats far too big for an irn or a teil. Can you get another cage pretty quick??

yes we have one, ive seen Irn in bigger cages so would this be ok when he/she is older??

donnanorm

julie wrote:Have you got a pic of the whole cage?

here is a pic

donnanorm

julie wrote:How big is the cage, definately get an appropriate cage like right now.

we had our baby cockatiel in it and she was fine as you can see from the photo the bars are not that wide

donnanorm

popped out to shop and come back to find our 10 week old baby with his head stuck between the bars of the cage,maybe cage to big? feel awfull

donnanorm

I feel rather daft for asking this but my partner has asked: just purchasing our bird today, and being in a new cage it has to get used to its surroundings. Will it know to find the feeders as it was in an outdoor avery and knew where the original food source was,just with only being 10 weeks old an...

donnanorm

Hi Norm and Donna, Nice Blue baby you got there. Do you have more pictures of the baby? Seems to me the baby is going through an unusual moult with what seem like irregular feather growth. Kinda unusual for a 10-week old baby who should be fully-feathered especially in the wing area. But it may jus...
