Awesome I am going to try Pom! I tried the Volkman's Soak and Simmer... Mine didn't go that haywire over it. I still have some, I will try it again!

Ohana

Gorgeous bird! My female has a slight ring so DNA is the best way until they reach the age of sexual maturity and then the male will have his ring.

Also, be careful with that wing clip. I have known some birds to get broken wings because they have that type of clip.

Ohana

Welcome to the forum.

Ohana

Well Mojito does adore him. But she doesn't like me so much. There is a trade off.

Ohana

It certainly takes time, a calm soft voice and patience. Don't give up, Mojito has been with us for 4 months and she adores my hubby, but she does still proceed with caution and a little distrust. She wants to trust so badly, but she has such a shady past that it will take awhile. We have decided th...

Ohana

Well needless to say she doesn't care for me much. But she does LOVE the hubby... She will do ANYTHING to get close to him. The nice thing is I am allowed to sit next to him as long as I don't attempt to touch her. But she coos and clucks for him. He is even able to pet her now. It is great. Only 4 ...

Ohana

Sorry for the late reply. It is not a python at all. It is a Creamsicle Corn Snake. It will get between 4 ft. and 5 ft. long. No bigger around then a quarter.

Ohana

what beautiful birds!

Ohana

I just caught up to this post. Sorry you had to go through all of this. I am glad you are getting down to some possible ideas and how to go about fixing it. I would see if you could add some more toys to his cage that he might like. Ya know like things he can shred and destroy, I go through so many ...

Ohana

Welcome to the forum. Just give Boo some time to settle in. I recently acquired a Female *Mojito* 3.5 months ago and she was pretty scared. Patience and a soft spoken Husband brought her around. She slowly lets him touch her and does have certain boundaries, but she really is trying. Good Luck and k...

Ohana

What a pretty bird, I love the name.

I am Carrie and I am from NC, USA I have a Female Green IRN *Mojito*
and a Female Green Quaker *Pistachio*

Welcome to the forum.

Ohana

Welcome to the forum. We can't wait to see pics of your new baby!

I am Carrie and I have a Female IRN (she is in love with the hubby) and a female Quaker (my snuggle bunny)

Ohana

Great video of all the noises they can make. Their noises are soo cool to me. I have a quaker that sounds like a little prehistoric creature and the IRN that sounds like something out of Star Wars! I just love the different noises.

Ohana

How cute, our little one is finally settinging to where she is starting to do funny things as well. I can't wait!

Ohana

Pretty birds, My Hubby thinks the males are so striking!

Ohana

Sorry I have not been around. I have been busy with three other forums and also slammed at work. I have a few updates regarding Mojito our rescue. She has fallen head over heals in Love with my hubby. She actively seeks his attention, will coast down off her cage to hang out with him, and lets him p...

Ohana

Sorry I haven't posted in so long... Been busy Yes, both my birds drink from water bottles. It is easy to train them, just set the water bottle close to their favorite perch. When you notice them playing with it frequently try removing the water dish just for a little while and see if they go to the...

Ohana

Yes, I know about the open top, I have heard some horror stories about it. I have the top reinforced to stay open with bungie cords in the back. Thank you for the warning. Yes, I think she is happy with it as well and this is great! She has enjoyed playing all over it! It is really cute to watch her...

Ohana

Thank you everyone for your comments. After seeing what life will be like in this cage I have decided that it is just fine for now. The birds spent from 630 am to 500 pm out and about on their cages and play gyms. Sunday was close, from 1200 pm until about 630 pm out or on. During the week I open ca...

Ohana

Yes, she can turn around without hitting her tail and it is plenty tall enough. I guess I just feel bad because Pistachio is in a bigger cage. But what you are really saying is it is too small. Well, I will see how she does in it over the weekend and if it is too small for her then I will just swap ...

Ohana

I am worried that the cage I purchased is too small for Mojito and wanting some opinions. It is a Kings Cage that is a scalloped top. The top opens to a play gym. I think the dimensions are 22 in. W x 17 in. D x 63 in. H... Here is the link to the cage: m It is what I could afford for right now. She...

Ohana

Congratulations, I can't wait to see babies!

Ohana

Awesome pictures! Thanks for sharing.... it is so great.

Ohana

What pretty little things, I just love their colors. I used to have one that looked like Sid.

Ohana

Welcome to the forum, what lovely budgies you have. I love them both such pretty colors!

Ohana

What beautiful birds!

Ohana

I know nothing about mutations, But I think they are beautiful!

Ohana

Depending on the show it can be nice to go. The show near my house every year is very well run and all birds must have a vet certificate and be checked by the show vet before entering the building. Now this doesn't mean that sometimes, I think some of the birds look rough. But being at a show and wi...

Ohana

What a beautiful bird and great photos!

Ohana

What a beautiful bird! Wow, I had an opportunity to adopt a pair, but the hubby said no. I just love those guys.

Ohana

What a cutie! I love how interested he was in the thumb game, that was great!

Ohana

Pretty birds! They look happy

Ohana

Yes I think about 3 or 4 weeks, I can't really remember anymore

Ohana

welcome back, glad to meet you and I wouldlove to see pictures of you birds.

Ohana

I have cuttle bones in both my birds cages. I also have mineral blocks. The quaker likes the mineral block and the IRN is too new and not used to all this stuff in her cage. So I am sure in time she will figure it out.

Ohana

Melissa I also just acquired an IRN that I don't know the gender, age or true background on. I have had her for almost a month. I know what you are feeling, I have a Quaker that is my snuggle bug and the IRN which is my challenge right now. Like everyone else said, don't take it personal. Not knowin...

Ohana

What a great article, and pictures, I loved the pics. THanks for sharing!

Ohana

I would love see pics too. Nice to meet you.

Ohana

Glad you are ok, Sorry about the accident!

Ohana

She finally stepped up.... I went to take a shower Saturday Morning and asked my hubby to get Mojito out of her cage and bring her to the shower. He was able to get her out after a few minutes and then placed her on the shower perch. She enjoyed the shower and then it was time to get her off. Needle...

Ohana

What awesome pics, Dats really looks glad to be home and with his family!

Ohana

Pistachio my Quaker will do this occasionally. Sometimes I think she does it because I get up off my duff and see what she is doing.

I'll be interested if the spray actually deters him.

Ohana

Hopefully you will get him home "today" and when the results come in they will be conclusive.

I am happy you get your baby back!

Ohana

I love that! What a smart little birdy and he got a kiss each time.

Ohana

She was having a blast. I am glad that I can give her something she likes. I just feel like she was neglected for so long.... I am going to get a DNA test done on her soon to find out whether or not we have a girl of age unknown or a boy.

Thanks for the comments, I just adore her!

Ohana

Mojito really enjoys being spritzed. So this morning I gave her a good one. Here is her reaction to bath time. SHE REALLY ENJOYS IT! http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f159/Ohana29/100_2215.jpg http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f159/Ohana29/100_2214.jpg http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f159/Ohana29/...

Ohana

How awesome! That was a cool video too thanks for sharing.

Ohana

Awesome photos! It is cool when you come across baby pics... they really bring back good memories don't they and make you want to do it all over again. At least it does me anyway.

Ohana

How funny he was yelling at the vet! Praying for a quit return home. THanks for the update.

Ohana

My quaker has a flight suit, other than that NO OUTSIDE. I have predator birds that could pick off my little cuties.... I do have some cages that I set them out in but no free time without the flight suit.

Ohana

I have a recently acquired re-homed IRN who also was very scared when she came to my house. Here is what you can do with a second hand bird: 1st if you have other birds, quarantine for at least 30 days, 60 is best. 2nd, have a vet check them over to make sure that they are healthy (quarantine is sti...

Ohana

Must be something.... we just took all the furniture out of several rooms and cleaned them from top to bottom... Oh, yes we are crazy but the house SMELLS GREAT!!!

Ohana

Still praying for you... I am sorry my friend that you are going through this. At least you are confident in your vet. Please keep us posted.

Ohana

How adorable! That is really one smart bird!

Ohana

How adorable.... Well Mojito is still settling in, but while we are not in the quarantine room with her she will be chattering up a storm. She is already asking what cha doin? wolf whistling, whining like the dog and many other things. I think it is great that Smokey is taking such and interest in d...

Ohana

So this weekend Mojito completely freaked out on me. I was changing the papers in her cage and she wanted to try one or two of them.... So I put them up to her and let her see if she wanted to chew on some paper. Well she liked it. So I folded up a few pieces of paper and hung them thru the bars at ...

Ohana

Both of my birds are CARB fanatics... Breads, Potatoes, Rice, wheat, oats you name it they love it.

Too bad they don't put on the weight like I do when I eat late at night!

Ohana

Welcome to the Forum Shell. I am also new here but there is a great number of folks on here and very willing to help out.
Your baby is beautiful!

Ohana

SW how exciting that you are starting to figure out who your Ringnecks came from and what you might get out of them. I am so excited for you.

Ohana

I wish you luck at the vets. I hope everything works out and you can determine the cause of the seizures. I know this is scary.

Ohana

Beautiful babies you have. I love all your babies and wish I could have that man.

Ohana

How neat that the lovebirds actually fostered the bird to that point. Looks pretty!

Ohana

Good Job on walking away feeling like you did well. Good luck on the next round and just carry that confidence with you.

Ohana

What a gorgeous bird and also great photos and photoshop skills

Ohana

Roudy Bush and Zupreem natural. They get Zupreem Fall Harvest or something like that as a treat. Fresh foods and seed as a treat.

Ohana

Good Luck. I will be praying for you.

Ohana

This has me stumped as well. My little new IRN has the same thing going on but I don't know the age, so I am right now guessing it to be a female. I would love to know the answer to this question as well.

Ohana

That is such a cool idea... do you ever have any problems with your cage door closing on that cage? The one that opens at the top?

Ohana

Yes, I love making my own toys for the FIDS. Mojito loves to untie knots so I just got some colored hemp rope and tied some macramé knots, She adores it!

I make new toys out of old worn out toys all the time. I can't wait to see your creations. Please post pics.

Ohana

What a pretty bird! I love the name and the color. That is probably one of my favorite mutations. Thanks for sharing.

Ohana

What pretty birds you have. I bet you have fun watching and listening to them and all their antics.

Ohana

I don't have any idea about Cockatiels. But I bet they were pretty, it sounds like it.

Ohana

Some birds are private bathers. My little Pistachio won't bathe if I am watching. I take her into the shower with me, but she still doesn't like it. So I just place a bowl in her cage and walk away. Eventually she will bathe in it. If I leave her fresh water every day she will bathe while I am not h...

Ohana

How adorable that they were afraid... I bet that had to be a hoot for you even though they were terrified.

Ohana

I wish you luck finding these babies homes. I love the Lutino's they are sooo pretty.

Ohana

Well, it has been a two weeks to the day since I acquired Mojito. Here is a journal entry from over the weekend: So we had a great weekend with Mojito. Each time I walk into her room, she will bounce around from perch to perch and then greet me at the door of the cage, She is looking for her treat. ...

Ohana

What a cute little snuggle photo... and the general pop says IRN's don't snuggle. HA!

Ohana

They can get frustrated if they have picked you as a mate and for obvious reasons you can't reciprocate. If you want him to not regurg for you then when he does it just remove him from close to you and give him something else to do. There are also ways that you can keep him from doing this behavior ...

Ohana

We have decided on a name, Mojito. I just didn't know if it meant something when she did it in response to my husband whistling, she only rubs from side to side then looks back at him. I suppose I will take it as she likes him. She is coming along nicely, we just adore her and surprisingly I find my...

Ohana

Beautiful bird!

Ohana

How adorable, I love all the pics... Mojito is too shy right now to show off her bathing skills.

Ohana

The cage looks awesome. What a great idea using a reptile dish for a water/bath hole.... how ingenious.

Love the cage, wish one like that could fit in my house!

Ohana

What cuties.... Pistachio my green chicken is so jealous she would love to have a man. But no no breeding for my sweet little girl.

Can't wait to see babies. Love the names by the way.... I am a subscriber to Angel Ministries (Anne Graham Lotts ministry, Billy and Ruth's daughter).

Ohana

Congratulations... I am currently trying to build trust as well. I know it will take time. Your post is an encouragement.

Beautiful baby by the way!

Ohana

That is horrible, I am glad that your family was not harmed and good on Smokey for being a loud mouth! If anyone tried to break into my house they would be met with three dogs hot on their tails... let alone the racket that the birds would make and if they tried to take any of them, they would need ...

Ohana

Thanks for the videos those were neat. I was just wondering more along the lines of was her behavior more along the lines of she liked what he was doing or she didn't..... not necessarily mating. I will try to get a video of how she reacts. What she does is My husband will whistle, then she will put...

Ohana

I have done DNA testing using the toe nail method. You will need to have some baking soda, flour or a product called Kwik stop close at hand. Don't clip so much off that you have an overly short nail. Just barely get the nail to bleed, it won't take much. Then put the baking soda/powder, flour or Kw...

Ohana

I am not sure about IRN babies but I do know that the crop looks full and otherwise looks good. What are you concerned about not being normal? It is definitely a baby, but again I am not good with these birds as babies....

Ohana

Welcome, Welcome... Cool to see you on here too.

Still think your IRN's are gorgeous!

Ohana

Thank you for the welcome. This little girl (what I am going to call her until I get her DNA'd) does do a behavior I am not familiar with. When my hubby wolf whistles or whistles in general at her she will crouch low, look at him wide eyed and then rub her beak on the perch she is sitting on. Now th...

Ohana

What a cutie.. thanks for sharing the photos.

Ohana

Hello all, I just adopted a Normal Green IRN. I have not thought of a name that is fitting yet, but so far I have come up with Sesame and Cashew. I have 4 years experience with birds. I have been owned by a Budgie, several breeder peachfaced lovebirds and currently owned and proudly ruled by a femal...
