Nice video.. Haven't seen Archimedes for a while..What a clever bird!

Love the vids BTW...

Hi everyone:

Thanks for the replies and suggestions. I'll definitely try out some or all of the tips and ideas. He's seems to be getting a bit better the last few days. We'll also look at getting him a new toy as well as he might be bored with what he has.

Thanks.

Hi: I''ve a couple of questions which I hope someone can provide some advice on, with regards to "biting" and "unprovoked attacks" from my IRN. I've a Blue IRN (Male), and he's about 4 years old (born around Oct 2004). Whilst I do notice that it may seem that's it the mating seas...

doremon

Thanks. Yes he does have quite a nice (high pitched) voice tho...

Added Episode 6 to the same URL : http://www.dropshots.com/wlgspotter

Changed subject to show this as well...

Enjoy!

doremon

Well, yeah they're both like kiddies..! Spike does have his moods - he'll sometimes peck at Hoogie for trying... But then Hoogie himself can be quite cheeky too - like what he's doing, just doesn't want to give Spike any peace at all. If Spike stops eating or playing with the honeybell, Hoogie stops...

Hi everyone:

Well, again it took us a while, but now we've got a couple more of the 2 boys...

doremon

Yeah... Hoogie just can't leave Spike alone..! Sometimes you just wonder whether is he being naughty or trying to be friendly..!

Well, it took a long time to process a couple more videos, but here it is at last - unfortunately tho this time round only Hoogie the Blue IRN is featured...

You people are KILLING me with your PRECIOUS birdie videos! OMG MORE!!! Gie-Gie is sooo loving of Spike! Were they raised together? I hope Baby is that sweet to our soon-to-be lovebird, or shall I hope that our lovebird let's Baby be sweet? THey will pretty much grow up together so we'll see!! I lo...

I love it! You irn is GORGEOUS! And your tiel precious! What is your irn saying? Sounded like "Kee, Kee". Am I hearing that right?? Love the video. Thanks for sharing. Hugs, Jen You're almost correct..! His name is Hoogie, and we call him "Gee-gee" (or Gie-gie if you like!) for short. He just picke...

doremon

Yes quite typical of a male tiel. Spike does something like that - his "courting dance if you like... He does it especially to Hoogie (my blue IRN) - unfortunately Hoogie is a boy too.. (we thot Spike may be ***!)... And now Hoogie has picked up some of those dances and calls and am returning the co...

Hi:

My IRN started talking at about 9-10 months of age.

First word he muttered wasl "Hello", and now include "Good Boy", "gi gi" - short for "Hoogie" - his name, and also "Wan An" - Good night in Mandarin.

Cheers!

Hi Lisa,

Any trick to get him to wear the flight suit. I only managed to get it on my IRN once and he seemed stressed and wanted to remove it.

It was actually the other way round for me. My cockatiel loves my IRN and would just follow it around all day long. In fact, he is quite bossy, and always 'demand' that my IRN Hoogie be around him. However, they do bicker occasionally. I have to look out and make sure that Hoogie does not hurt my co...

Glad to hear that Indian is better now!

Hi! Sounds like she behaves very differently from what she used to. I would advise that you bring her to the vet for a check. I have lost my bird once and always regretted not reacting to the situation fast enough (even though it might not save him at that point in time).

Hello, I have not much experience with my IRN because he's been sleeping with us (and our cockatiel) in the bedroom on a small playgym that we made! The only time he is sleeping in the cage is when we are away and have to leave him with someone else or at home. It seems that he has no problem sleepi...

doremon

Hi! As long as your IRN does not sit at the bottom of the cage and is perching, I think it should be alright. I am not sure for IRN, but for other birds such as cockatiel, if they sit at the bottom of the cage, it may be signs of sickness. If that is the case, it may be good to have the bird checked...

Hi David, I do think 108 g is a bit light for an 18-month old ringneck. Mine was about 9 months and he is currently 122g. When I first got him home at 8 weeks old, he was 120g. He then put on weight during the next 3 months. The heaviest was 140g. And then, in the past 2 months, he lost weight and e...

I actually like grey coloured ringnecks very much. I saw one cinnemon one when I was considering a ringneck. However, they are more expensive than the green or blue ones (at least in New Zealand). You are lucky to have one!

I have to say that it is true that if the bird has company, he/she will not response to your training as well as if he/she is alone. I have a cockatiel and he was a very cautious bird. We can never pat him. When we first saw him in the pet shop, he seemed very active and was whistling all the time. ...

doremon

One other way is for you to hang the toy outside the cage until he is comfortable with it before you move the toy into the cage.

The bird just needs time to adjust to new things.

Hi! I have a cockatiel and IRN. Have to agree with colettec2000 that cockatiel can be noisier. IRNs are certainly louder, but they do not squawk all day long. Most of the day, they are pretty quiet (surprisingly!) and if they can talk, they will tend to talk than squawk. It is much more pleasant hea...

doremon

Same here with my IRN Hoogie. We built a play gym for him and put in a couple of toys. But he always pick up the toys, bring them to the edge of the play gym and drop them. I am trying to each him to pick up coins to put in a plastic container, but he is more interested in taking out the coins from ...

doremon

Hi Ringneck,

When you said 'unfired', do you mean 'unroasted'?

My IRN likes peanuts very much and I have been giving him roasted peanuts. So, would like to confirmed whether that is not good for him also. In that case, does that mean we should be giving him raw peanuts?

Cheers!
Doremon

Hi! I agree with 'Guest'. I kept my cockatiel and my IRN in separate cages even though they like each other's company. I can see that they prefer each other's company compared to mine, but I am still able to train them without much problem and my IRN sometimes still 'begs' for my attention. Of cours...

Hi Tweets, I can understand how worried you are looking at the photos of Sky with her feathers gone.... How old is she now? Reason why I asked is because I thought bluffing stage only starts off when they are young. You can find out more about bluffing stage by searching for the word 'Bluffing' as t...

Thanks Carrie, I am planning to bring Hoogie to the vet this weekend, just to make sure he is fine. Probably he overate when we first got him and he is now back to his normal weight, but it will be safer to get him check. I also noticed his poo is a bit breakup. The only thing in New Zealand is that...

Hi ringneck: I also forgot to log in using my id. In fact, it was my husband who logged in to ask the question. I noticed that very often I have to log in twice to get the id 'registered' in the system. Anyway, yes, you may use the photos of Hoogie for your website - we're really honoured! Regards D...

Hi! When I first got my IRN back home Nov 2004, he was about 8-10 weeks old and weighed about 120g. His weight then went up to about 134g in Feb this year. Recently, I noticed a drop in his weight and it is about 122g now which is around the weight when I brought him home!! Is he considered too ligh...

Hi Ringneck,

Just to let you know that I am not Carrie.

Thanks very much for the wonderful information.

Hi Carrie, I think the key thing is still to ignore the behaviour and give her lots of attention. Mine 'Hoogie' started the bluffing stage 2 months ago and I went through a hard time trying to 'endure' the pain whenever he bit me. He was also not as friendly to my husband compared to me. But since I...

doremon

Hi! Thanks for the information even though I think I will still not be able to tell the male from female physically. I guess it might be because I don't currently own a female IRN. I have a male IRN and indeed he likes to bow with the wings slightly open and the hopping!

Cheers!

Hi Ringneck,

I am just curious, how do you tell from picture 2 that she is a girl?

Hi! My IRN is around 7-8 months now and true enough it has started to talk in the past 3 weeks. Initially, you can hear him trying to utter some words. So, I started teaching him to say 'Hello' and he did eventually! I was so excited. Yesterday night, I think he is starting to say 'Good boy'. Doremon

If he (IRN) looks awkward moving around the cage, then I would think that the bar space is too big.

Hi! Can I find out whether the above are alright for birds, in particular IRN?

Hi! I bought mine from a breeder and he advised to put the ringneck in a box that is covered to reduce the stress (of course with enough ventilation).

Hi! I have an IRN and a cockatiel who loves the company of each other. However, both have the habit of pecking or even biting on each other's toes whenever the 'mood' came. I am not so concerned with my cockatiel doing it to the IRN but it certainly more damaging the other way round. It happened onc...

doremon

When I got my IRN (8 weeks old), he also did that 'meow' sound. It was so cute. He was sort of begging for food and am wanting attention.

Enjoy while you can because they will not do that after about 12-16 weeks old.

Hi! I have seen on this forum that a lot of people tend to let their bird on the shoulder. I have read books and they all suggest that it is better not to let them on the shoulder as it will eventually become hard to handle them. Of course, there are always exceptions, but once you notice a change i...

Hey! You should be happy you have a sociable bird. I used to have a cockatiel which was not afraid of anything. It was always very curious and was not afraid of trying or testing the ground. Everyone loves him! However, it may be good to stop your bird from eating food from your mouth. If he doesn't...

Hi! One thing to note about the flight suit is it may be challanging to get your bird into it. I bought a bird harness for my IRN and tried it on one day and it freaked out. He struggled so much that he nearly struggled himself with the harness. I may have to try that again after he gets older. What...

This is fascinating, isn't it? Makes one wonder whether it just some special bonding between these two or was it the environment that somehow trigger ChaCha to scream??

I think everyone will be glad to hear that his screaming problem somehow has gone away!

Hi Datsun,

Welcome to this website. I think this is the best website on IRN so far. I also acquired an IRN (blue one) not long ago and he is now about 14 weeks old.

Have fun with your IRN!
