Thanks Bec. Every animal deserves a chance at a happy life. It's sad and I will never understand how someone could hurt and abuse an animal. When I saw Boomer I new he was mine. That skinny scruffy pathetic thing was mine. It was tough because of the biting. That was his defense. I worked with him r...

Did you try blowing on him when he bites? It worked with Boomer. Boomer drew blood as well and it killed. I didn't know what to do to stop it. This was a month ago and it took three days to stop when I started blowing on him. When you see him go down for that bite instantly blow on him. You will soo...

Sign of a ring or Not?
I have been calling Chiquita a “she”. Even if she is a he I don’t think I can get out of the habit and switch her to a him so Chiquita will be my little he/she. Anyway she has two itty bitty orange dots on the side of her neck, do you think that is the start of a ring? It’s been there so long though...

I know a conure is not an IRN but it works just the same. I got severely abused and neglected conure who bit so hard I would bleed like crazy. He was terrified of humans because of all the abuse so I worked with him. When he went down to bite me I gently blew on him. He suddenly stopped. I just kept...

The only thing you can do is separate before she REALLY damages Alex. This is critical. Maybe someone else will come up with a better solution but it sounds like they really need to be separated. You may have to buy another cage. Sometimes it just happens. That is why I didn’t get a second IRN. I wa...

You can also use a fan. Do not directly put the fan on your parrot, just beside him so the air gives a nice breeze. Chiquita loves to bath in her water dish. But yes, a spray once a day is fine, I wouldn’t do more then that though. When you give him a bath shut the fan off until he is dry because yo...

You can't tell the sex until they develop the rings and that can take two to three years. If there is no ring it’s a female if there is then it’s a male. Personally I would separate. I would be way to nervous. They are becoming teenagers now, LOL. When you say fight, does one attack the other and ch...

At first they don’t know their way around your home. Put stickers on the windows, cover the mirrors with a blanket, parrot proof your home. See if that helps. If it does great. If not you will have to clip. Im against clipping as well. Chiquita is fully flighted. However when it comes to danger and ...

This is normal. They are scared and traumatized from a big change in their life. They will sleep a lot, not eat or drink to much or not at all, be afraid. Keep talking to them in a gentle voice and always approach the cage slowly. No fast jerky movements. They will settle down but you need to give t...

Okay, this is how I trained Chiquita, Rascal and my two teils Punky and Princess. #1. Keep your hand in the cage as often as possible so he gets used to it. #2. Offer treats until he takes it out of your hand –do not give him the treat no matter how hard it is until he takes it out of your hand, kee...

You really needed to separate them and slowly adjust them to each other. After you should place them side by side in the cage. So they get used to each other. I hope they are not in the same cage. You should have a second cage for him and not rush things. You can never make them get along. They will...
