max is doing leaps and bounds better, and it has been such a short period of time. all disease tests have come back negative, and we have done a total diet overhall on him. max has taken to the new diet very nicely, and has been eating the vitamins supplemented fruits, and chewing the cuttle. alread...

that is actually really interesting. i never knew that about the Pionus, although i really don't know much about them in general. This will be the first one that i have had to care for. he definitely has some sort of vitamin deficiency, his beak is all flakey and chipping in places, so we are starti...

this is not about an irn, but is about a pet parrot. I had just picked up a maximillian pionus from an inexperienced clueless person. This bird is chest plucked, but still has his down, just no green feathering on his chest, and has this horrible panic issue that none of my birds has ever displayed....

my bird did the exact same thing. in fact, she laid claim to my big stock pot, and decided to use it as her nest. she was obsessed with my pot holders, my cabinets, she even hid in my trash can, popping out and nipping my fingers when i least expected. I took the pot out of my cabinet, and placed it...

oh that poor little baby. I can feel his pain. My guy has progressed well enough that i don't have to hand feed anymore. this happened a little while back. I did have to get him on an antibiotic, and some birdy pain meds. He is doing a lot better now, and his beak hole is looking a lot better as wel...

chobah

well, basicly it's easy to eyeball it and see how much they would need. these guys eat like 25 percent of their bod weight a day to be healthy and active. I keep all fresh foods like vegis and fruits etc in a seperate bowl from any pellts, seed or grain. and change the water several times a day. my ...

My new guy tried that just recently too, and I have had him for about 2 months now. Toki is the same age plus a few weeks. I think it's just a wierd phase, or maybe he is just nervous with new people. just be consistent, and keep handling him or the problem will definitely get worse. Toki tried this...

i was kinda thinking that myself. Louis I consider a pet, but he is a lot harder to handle than most of my birds. I'm not too nervouse about the legal aspect, but I am a bit put off by the health risk to him. he would have to spend a quarrentine by himself, and that would really mess with him. he is...

chobah

I am pretty sure it is a noise that they make when they are content or happy. that is what I have read and been told. my birds only do it when they are relaxed and hanging out with someone they enjoy, so I think that is right.

I had a recent proposition, from someone in my area who also owns ringnecks, that they would like to borrow my older male louis for studding. this would be a several month ordeal for him. I am wondering if I should do it or not. I have of course thought of drawing up a legal contract, so that he wou...

chobah

I swear my birds are lookin for a good time all year round. Louis will feed hoff, every day even out of season. He follows her around and does the heart wing thing, and say hello baby, over and over again. he can say other things but to her thats it. he looks like a dirty old man in a trench coat wh...

chobah

one of my birds is bad like that. he always trys to open the pack and walks around with butts if he can get them. i just found that the only way to prevent it is to eliminate all contact. he may do it to mimic you guys too, monkey see monkey do, he sees it in your mouth and thinks it is good to eat ...

chobah

we are going early in the afternoon. feels like an eternity from now. there is no bleeding, and he has been eating mushy stuff, he seems to dig my sons organic babyfood, I am sure he isnt getting enough, but at least something is going down. watching him drink makes me sad too. the water kinda bubbl...

we had a little accident today and I need help fast. My baby ringneck toki got out of my grip and landed on another of my birds cages. this bird is very aggressive, and imediatly started attacking him through the bars. Toki was bitten on the beak, on the top part near the cere, a hole punched right ...

chobah

I have personally never heard of a specific breed of bird that hates the color red, but I have actually had a few different birds who absolutly hated it. they went nuts if i wore a red shirt. never had that problem with a ringneck, i don't think it's a breed specific thing. some birds just have thei...

chobah

maybe your bird hasnt really been pinning their eyes yet. my new baby almost always has big pupils, but sometimes you can see them pin a little bit and the blue of the iris shows through.

chobah

oh, forgot to ad, they usually are weaned between like 8 and 14 weeks old, depending on the individual bird.

chobah

well, my new baby that i just got at 9 weeks old was the same size as my adult birds. maybe a tiny bit smaller, but not much if at all.

chobah

another thing to consider, in the end when your daughter goes to colledge or whatever her endevors are, will you be willing to care for her bird who may be very bonded to her? I hate saying it, but i have seen so many cases of people getting a long lived pet for a child (who may even be very able bo...

chobah

If you got the cage along with the bird for that price, it sounds about right, at least for the east coast. These birds are awsom, and well worth the money. I think they are even better than many of the more expensive parrots that you could find. they are playful, and sweet, and a lot smarter than p...

chobah

So I am kinda perplexed as to why Louis has the sudden urge to come down and romance my female hoff, while sitting right on my shoulder. I get the whole show, from the dance to feeding each other. I wouldnt mind so much if they weren't close enough for me to actually hear them regurgitating . I thin...

chobah

HI so I have been here for kind of awhile, but im kinda technotarded, i just figured out how to put my pics up here they are. http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn136/katiethemagnificent/100_0231.jpg http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn136/katiethemagnificent/100_0226.jpg http://i303.photobucket.co...

chobah

is the bird opening their wings in the shape of a heart? if so, sounds pretty male to me. all my girls tilt their heads back and cluck. my mature male does a similar dance to the one that you described, but far more elaborate, as he has had years to perfect it.

chobah

Well, I didnt origonally name the bird david hasselhoff. it was just her name from her previous home at the party house. I didnt want to change her name when she already knew it. she can't say it, but she knows when she is being addressed I usually call her hoff now for short. She doesnt seem to mind.

chobah

My girl Hasselhoff is at the start of a moult, and as result she has turned into a little green menace. She has conducted many guerrilla warfare style attacks on my feet, usually staged from under my coffee table, and has been having little birdy temper tantrums. She throws her food on the floor, es...

I guess we kinda are ringneck addicts when we first got louis, we fell in love with the breed. My kids and I spend the better part of our day, in between chores and all that fun stuff, playing with the birds, and giving them new snacks to try. We gave Toki his very first pear today, and it was love ...

I have posted a few times already but never got around to any formasl introductions. My name is Katie, my husband Bill and I rescue ringnecks. We have 5 birds in all, only one of which was purchased from a breeder. My first bird is Louis he is 6 years old, and constantly acting like pepe le pew, cha...

chobah

we seem to have come to the same conclusion now. So Toki it is. thanks everyone

chobah

ok, we have it narrowed down to 2 names. Toki, and Nicodemus. what do you guys think?

chobah

I like quigley or maybe elvis, my husband likes toki. i hate picking names, so indecisive lol.

chobah

We are picking up our new baby blue ringy tomorrow and we are sooo excited!!! Only problem is, we are kinda at a loss for a name, we don't want to go with an over used name like sky for him (he is male) our other ringnecks are Louis, Cyble,David Hasselhoff, and Pickles. any thoughts would be greatly...

chobah

I will get a video of Louis playing in his magical kingdom up, It's wicked funny (sorry my boston is showing) He has had it on top of his cage for almost the entire time he has lived with us, and he gets irate every time i take it down for a wipe down. Now I just need to catch him in the act while I...

chobah

He's a smart little monster, I'll give him that. He gets results lol. It is definitly spooky sometimes how close he sounds to the baby now. he has been perfecting it for a few days now. I find myself getting up to check on him, and finding Louis instead craning his neck out as if to say "wheres...

chobah

I have finally been making progress with my male Louis. He was 5 when we rescued him from a hoarder, and when we got him was an absolute mess. He hated people, was scared to death of me, and especially my husband. It has been a little less than a year, and now finally after countless bites, and setb...

chobah

So, I am pretty new to the game as far as breeding ring necks goes. I have a pair of birds, male is 5 years old, and the female is 10. The male came from a pet situation, and the female came from a breeder, although she was never allowed to breed. She has laid in the past for her previous owner. I g...
