Is there a difference between 'grey' and 'silver' coloured ringnecks?

I don't know if there is a difference between silver and grey, I bought her as a grey.. maybe someone else here can tell us.

Monday i think.. they have spoken to the store owner, and sent a copy of the complaint I made.. he now has time to respond.. I sooo hate blimmin red tape.. and he also said they were sending an independant pe...

Hi there.. I am sorry I didnt get to reply privately.. I lost phone and internet and it has taken nearly a week for Telstra to fix it.. can you resend the mesage as I have had to mas delete 1000's of emails..

Hi Bec..It was easy really, speaking out for those who have no voices of there own.. I have had a few calls yesterday back over this from the Ethics comittee of the PIAA ect.. and they are running with this.. so I am hoping soemthing will be done really soon about these birds and dogs.. if not I wil...

he also gets nut every so often not all the time and other veges and fruits. I forgot that nuts were protien, I have always given Salem a few nuts each week, I also give him some cooked basmati rice, I could put a wee bit of egg in that.. I have always felt a bit funny about giving them chicken..bi...

Hi folks.. I read recently that IRN's need protiena and a little meat should be added to their diets every week.. what do others feed ther fids for this protien need?

I am not sure if I will get into trouble for this post.. but I really felt the need to unload this somewhere... Today we had been to the city and on the way home my partner thought as a nice surprise he would take my daughter and I to a Bird-Animal warehouse place since I love looking at birds and c...

i should have mentioned.. his perches are gum branches from the tree out back and there is one plum tree branch.. the tree needed prunning.. He did have a conventional perch which came with the cage, but watching him walk on them you could see him having trouble holding on and his feet slide, so we...

I soooo am excited In the photo forum I mentioned a lady who owned a Bird Warehouse said not to put toys in Salems cage yet.. as he had to get used to it first,... Welllllllllll.. I read what Justin had said about Oliver.. looked at lots of piccies of everyones cages ... and thought nope you all are...

Hi Lauren, Salem came from Dandenong.. the man who owned him lived at Mt Evelyn.. Salem is 4 months, out the nest in October he said, I thought that would have been a bit early, when I had cockatiels back in NZ they hadn't even really started breeding by then.. but being a novice IRN owner who was I...

Hi Birdlady.. welcome to the list, I am newbie here and a new irn owner.. We are down here at just out of Melbourne.. 2 seconds from HMAS Cerberus where we are presently posted.. so I am at times a Navy widow..lol Great job on your three birds.. nothing worse than seeing sweeties left in a shop like...

I cant work out how to reply to individual responses on here.. some asked how old Salem was.. he is 4 months.. and unfortunately spent his life so far in an aviary with 5 other birds, so I think I will have my work cut out trying to tame him, the man I got him off said it was more than likely to lat...

I posted a few pics of Salem over at the Photo forum.. he looks a bit moth eaten compared to some of the birds I have seen here..

Well here he is.. I think he is a sweetie, but compared to some of the birds I have seen on the forum..umm he looks a little moth eaten .. maybe because he has been in an aviary.. Since I have only had him a few days and he isn't hand tamed, I had to take the pics with him in his cage... http://i172...

Thank you for the welcome everyone... Pinkdevil.. Salem is blue.. and I shall post a piccie a bit later today.. He has started to pick a few things.. He isn't muvh of a seed eater.. so I got him some pellets..lol.. he isnt much of a pellet eater either He terrorises zuchinni and in his efforts to sh...

Just a quick intro to say hi.. I am from the Mornington Penninsula, not far out of Melbourne, here in Australia.. I live with my partner, our fur friend Mister P and as of yesterday a beautiful 4 month old IRN who I have named Salem. I am a wee bit nervous as he has come from an aviary into a large ...
