ive read that feeding IRN's some flowers is ok. This is from a book - 'Parrotlopaedia - A Guide to Parrot Care'. Some of the things in the list of 'safe food' in this book are in your list of bad stuff; Blackberry flowers and berries, Chickweed, Dandelion leaves and flowers, Elderberry flowers and l...

It would be good if they could all come out at the same time wi...

ill probably get critised for this, but Spit is only let out of his cage a few times a week for an hour or so. He isnt tame at all, but hes getting there. We only let him out if hes behaving, like if he hasnt tried to bite us that day or if he hasnt been deafening with his screams. When we first got...

telling the age of a bird
This isnt any sort of major problem or anything, its more out of curiosity. Right, we bought our IRN Spit in July 2007. At the time of purchasing him, the guy in the pet shop said that he was "about a year old". I've just looked at some photographs of Spit from the time we got him, and i d...
