Congratulations! I'm in the process of taming my 4 year old IRN she has never been a people person but we are getting there. I can put my hands in the cage, feed & touch her without being bitten now. Unfortunately she is moulting at the moment so she is a little evil but that will pass

Thank you I decided to keep her in there anyway, she seems happy enough hates me at the moment though so medicating her today should be fun

Hi Everyone Indi and myself had our first trip to the vet this morning and she was given some antibiotics for a bacterial infection. I have to administer the meds orally for the next 7 days and I was wondering if you think it would be ok to keep her in the smaller cage for the 7 days? She is extreme...

We are off to the vet tomorrow morning she seems a little better in regards to her nose runningnbut I have noticed her droppings are a little greener than normal. She is still acting normal but I would never forgive myself if she was to go down hill without vet attention.

I had to do this with my IRN as she is impossible to catch. I had to do it to put her in a small cage to move house. I guess my only advice is don't over think it . I did the first time freaked out because I thought I was going to hurt her & burst into tears. The next week I just went straight i...

They seem normal not runny I will double check them
Tonight when I get home

Hi everyone, I have recently moved house and obviously brought my IRN with me. She has gone from being inside 24/7 to being outside 24/7. She has developed a slightly runny nose (when I say runny it was a small bubble out of one nostril), I noticed it a few days ago but it seemed to go away. But thi...

I'm not too sure when breeding season is? She doesn't seem to have made any signs of making a nest. I just put her out in the loungeroom with me this morning. Still sitting at the top of the cage, is clucking at me and playing with toys still. I will see how she goes today, I will try and find a goo...

My 3 year old female IRN Indi seems very dull. She is all puffed up and has just been sitting at the top of the cage most of the day not making too much noise. Indi has eaten a little today and has had fluid. She also did come down to the bottom of the cage to attack one of her foot toys a few times...

Hi everyone,
It's my IRN's 1st birthday today. I left before Indi woke up this morning so I rang and sung happy birthday lol!

I want to make a treat like for Indi today, dunno if anyone has any delicious sugestions .

Thanks guys, I think I will get Indi to help me. I can just see the toys falling on my head now lol Indi loves ripping up fresh paper so thats another good idea to keep her amused. Indi is slowly starting to be my friend again which is good, I have been scamming her/him with Pine nuts for kisses ......

Can any one help me???? or just give some advice or thoughts

My IRN Indi sleeps with one foot on the toy and the other on the side of the cage 95% of the time, doesnt look very comfortable but hey keeps Indi happy lol

Hi everyone, last week i took my IRN out of it's cage and put Indi into a smaller cage so i could give the cage a really good clean outside. I couldnt just leave Indi out as I have a few inside pets (cats/dogs etc) that i think would try and play a little to rough. Indi went back into the cage fine ...

Cool thanks for that, Indi will be very pleased

I am just wondering if I can give my IRN a little bit of celery, I don't want to give it to Indi until I am sure.....She seems to get jealous when I am eating it lol

Cool thankyou heaps 4 ur help

Dont really know anything about clicker training could you explain a little more to me

Thanks, I don't mind if Indi is a one person bird i spend the most time with her anyways so its a good thing. Mum isnt too worried about it either which is good

I let her come out of her cage yesterday and she jumped on my hand and crawled up to my shoulder so i gave her a reward and when she let me pat her i would giver her a lil treat. It was great she was so so lovely. The thing is she will only go near me now if my mum tried to touch her she didnt like ...

Thanks everyone yeah it is my first and its fantastic Indi has so much personality

Yeah Indi is in the cage. do you think if i let her come out she will be easier to approach. Yesterday she started to let me feed her some fruit and nuts out of my hand which was great

Thanks for that I do understand it may take a while i just want to know some good ways to try and gain her trust and start taming Indi. I realise that she won't be tame straight away.

I brought my IRN Indi a week ago she is only 2 months old (turns 3 months on the 27th of this month) they said she is hand tamed. Thing is she/he won't step up onto my hand and everytime i try go near her i get bitten she doesn't run away or anything (she can't fly because they had clipped her wings...

My Cockatiel Stimpy died on Monday the 31st of December (a week ago tommorrow) she was 6 and a half but had a problem with her feet for the past 2 years. She was one of my babies and i will miss her heaps. I now have an IRN (i brought today) and will eventually get another baby Cockatiel.

Hi guys, I just joined this forum and only just got my IRN today. i have already read some interesting stuff on biting and taming etc. which i am sure will come in handy to me. Indi (my IRN) is suposed to be hand tamed she has bitten me a couple of times not too hard but i am sure it is because she ...
