Hello all, My IRN, Cocab doing something strange !

hey,

Thank you very much,
I think I can see some new feathers are coming out specially around his beak. Hopefully it's not something to be worry about.

Thanks again.

Hi all, Today I noticed that there are some feathers (small ones) about 8-10 dropped at the bottom of Cocab cage! I did not noticed he is plucking his feathers and also I know the molting time is summer and I have seen his first molting in summer. Do you think it's normal he is loosing his feathers ...

Hi, I have seen a very strange behavior in my IRN, she keeps her beak open (by putting her lower and upper beak tips on each other) and I can see some water accumulating under her neck. I don't know her age exactly but should be something around 6 months. dose any one what is this? is it normal? reg...

Hi, Thanks a lot for descriptions. it's all your kind. BTW I know there is some wild IRNs in our country but this area is very far from our city, actually it's about 1,000 Km far away. If just you think she could be a wild bird, I don't think so, because first time that she found me, and a few days ...

Thank you, you helped me very much,

But there is always a NO for sugar and salt, is it really absolutely NO? Is there any problem with a little amount of salt that we have in our cookings or I must avoid it for Cocab?

Hi, Actually there is no ring on her (I think it's going to be female, I can see a green ring appearing on the neck) foot. I know and appreciate what you are trying to ask me but, there is something, you don't know in what country I'm living. I don't like to talk about it but let me say here animal ...

Hi,

To day I gave him a hardboiled egg. It seems that Cocab is not very interested in! Just tried some and then throw away the rest!

Also, can I give him rice? here in Iran we usually have rice specially at launch so I can easily offer to Cocab if it's good for IRNs.

Oh! i forgot something would please give me links to some of those recipes?

Hi all, It's ridiculous that I could not find any pellets for ring necks in local stores here!!! When I go to bird shops here they all suggest sunflower seed as a main dish for my IRN, and I read every where that these seed are not a good as main food for them. Also I read the article named "Wh...

Thanks.

I'm trying the first method, I think it's going to be hard days for me as I already get lots of bad wounds and scratches on my hand!

Hi,

Thanks for your help, I'll try to see witch one works, but would you please tell me usually how long it takes to understand he should not do that?
I mean for how long I must try each one before giving up (almost)?

Thanks

Hi all, As I did lots of search in the net, I believe that it's could be very common that some IRNs become very aggressive some times and it's called bluffing. But any way as i'm not sure about my bird situations and i'm very new to birds I thought it's better to ask you in this board. 2 days ago I ...
