Klaatu is more and more demanding all the time. I work a normal job so he gets to spend most of 2 days a week getting spoiled but, during the rest of the wek he is alone. It is faLL here and the days are getting shorter. When I get home there is barely and hour of light for us to share some time wit...

Well then, Klaatu must be the Super Bird of all IRNs. The spoiled little bugger gets fresh greens, fruit, and vegetables every day. Also, a fifteen bean soup and pasta mixture cooked fresh each day. Pomagranates are just coming into season here and he got his first 3 days ago. I gave him 1/2 outsid...

I thought peanut butter would be a nice idea to add to Klaatus' diet so I spread it on his apple slices. He carefully eats the apple without touching the peanut butter. Seems these little Demon Seeds all have a mind of their own. It's becoming obvious to me these monsters disguised as adorable pets...

I came home tonight and went into our room and Klaatu started lunging at me trying to bite me real hard. He hasn't ever done that before.

Maybe "headbutting" was the wrong word to use. I actually just put my head in his way so that he can't pinch my nail. My forehead is too large of a surface to sink his bill into. I'm afraid putting him back in his cage would be a bigger punishment to me than to him. I really love to spend...

IRNS in the movies

:D I am watching Harlem Nights with Redd Fox, Eddie Murphy, and Della Reese. Anyone ever notice that there is a cage with 2 IRNS in the bordello? One is a normal green and it's cage mate is a lutino. Also a cage with a blue macaw and one with a cockatoo were in the background.
