I just bought a new puppy and he seems to be getting all the attention right now, which I think is driving my IR to plucking... Im having a hard time managing time for him and Im concerned that It's already to late... He has plucked one of his wings pretty bare, despite my attempts to spend as much ...

SDAnimalKing

ok does anyone have a nocturnal IRN? Misfit is growing everyday... and his behavior is changing and becoming more of a "Talker" altho no words are comming out! He whistles and chatters all day... but even worse at night... no matter if lights are on or off, covered or not... He goes absolu...

SDAnimalKing

How do I find out what states they are illegal in?

SDAnimalKing

Ok so me and my family are moving from san diego to the east coast. I would like to know the safest and most stress free way to transport Misfit over there... We will be driving back... our local bird store said our bird carrier should work fine... but thats a long long time for him to be in such a ...

SDAnimalKing

well I can't see any new growth on his chest or head, where it seems to be getting worse... but I do see like 4 new tail feathers that are growing pretty quick and are looking good.

SDAnimalKing

no, I dont really see any... he doesn't seem stressed and I dont see him plucking... he's extremely active and playful... He's been a little more biteful lately but he's still only 5 months old and trying to do the whole bluffing thing...

SDAnimalKing

I could really use some help here... he is really loosing feathers quickly...

SDAnimalKing

How can you tell if your bird is molting... I'm not sure if he is but his feathers on his head are thinning out and its doing it in other places too... his back... and butt...

Mine loves homemade toys. I took a practice golfball (the ones holes in them like whiffle balls) and i feed cotton rope through it and tie things like pellet treats and beads and bells on each string. Misfit also loves things made from leather strips and plastic chains... you can make just about any...

SDAnimalKing

Two things I've noticed. My IRN does drink his water, but he also loves it when I mist his cage with a spray bottle so he can get a bath. he then drinks the water that drips down on the bars from his cage. Also if you feed them things that have a high water content like watermelon or oranges... they...

SDAnimalKing

im gonna check home depot again, but they mostly have like 1" thick stuff and its made of nylon...

SDAnimalKing

Im looking for some 1/4" to 1/2" heavy duty cotton rope... not the flimsy yarn stuff, I'm looking for the good stuff... anyone know any american stores that carry this stuff...

SDAnimalKing

Ok, so there is a guy down the street that makes chairs, benches, and many other things out of wood... my question is, Is any dried non treated wood safe for IRN's? I want to ask this man to make a stand for me, but I don't want the wood to be deadly to misfit. It looks like it is something that is ...

SDAnimalKing

I replied in the IRN photos part of the board.

SDAnimalKing

oh... and if you don't mean a signature, and you just want to post a picture... upload your pictures to a website like photobucket and then take that image code I was talking about and paste it in your message body and hit submit....

SDAnimalKing

do you mean at the bottom of every msg? This is called a signature. once you have the image you want save it to a website like photobucket. Once you've done that go to the top of the forums page where you can click profile. Under the section of profile information there is a big text box that says s...

SDAnimalKing

Ok I'm looking at all the pictures of everyone else's IRNs and see nice long beautiful tail feathers.... how long does it take for them to grow in... my misfit had 3 of them but one got kinked and fell out on its own, and now he's only got two... and they are pretty small... he looks pretty dumb wit...

SDAnimalKing

one word... VET

SDAnimalKing

well his apatite for seeds and other food provided hasn't gone down at all.. its gone up... but i dunno... thanks for the info.

SDAnimalKing

Is it bad to give your IRN to much fruit? I usually give him 2 or 3 pieces a day... It depends on the day on what it is, but it seems to make him poop a lot more often... Im scared that it is going to dehydrate him or something... I try to switch the fruit up day to day... Pineapple, oranges, apples...

SDAnimalKing

Ok so Misfit is a huge fruit lover.... my problem is when he doesn't have fruit, he goes after the safflower seeds only in his mix of pellets and other seeds that he was weaned on to... I can't get him to eat anything else but the safflower seeds and any fruit that I put in his cage... Question is: ...

SDAnimalKing

another good Idea is to use rope and tie it to the cross bars of the cage and create perches that way... braid the rope or tie random knots in it... My fid loves it because it like a swing...

SDAnimalKing

I'm not sure if anyone looked in the other thread titled "Creative Ideas"... but I posted some pictures of a play stand I made for Misfit... he/she LOVES IT! here it is...

SDAnimalKing

no... no nail trim

SDAnimalKing

Ok inside the cage and on his new play gym he has no problems with balance...

He eats pretty well and drinks good too... Feet seem to be ok with no problems...

I took him to the vet on monday and the vet said he's in perfect health... he ran tests and everything as an overall health checkup...

SDAnimalKing

lol check out my design in the be creative forum in the housing and diet forum... I went ahead and got the dowels, they werent treated with chemicals, just cut and dried with heat... I believe PVC is ok, I've used it for other birds and animals before without problems... If you want some rope as wel...

SDAnimalKing

I hope Misfit grows out of this...

SDAnimalKing

I'm no expert, but I know if you have the same size perches through out the whole cage, its bad for your bird. It was explained to me like this... If you wear boots 24 hrs a day for the rest of your life, your going to get arthritis and have problems with your feet... This is because your feet wont ...

SDAnimalKing

Ok, so my IRN is 4 months old and when he sits on my finger he seems to fall backwards or start to lose his balance alot... once he starts to fall he flapps his wings and brings himself forward... he does it a lot... he also is extremely scared to be put down on flat surfaces or on items that are a ...

SDAnimalKing

I decided to make misfit a perch or parrot stand... but I have a one year old that likes to tip things over... this could be very bad for misfit if she were to knock over his stand over on him... so I wanted something that hung from the ceiling... this is what I came up with... He loves all the rope...

SDAnimalKing

How often do you clean everything in your cage? What cleaner do u use? and how do you do it.

SDAnimalKing

I'm like a little kid in a candy store!!! My new 4 month old Albino Snowy IRN is now home and sleeping well in its new home! I purchased him/her for $500 USD today from an extremely nice breeder that not only had birds, but also horses... she ran a farm basically. For the $500, I got the IRN, Food, ...

SDAnimalKing

I just bought a cage for an IRN that I hope to pick up this weekend... is it the right size? 30" tall x 22" wide x 17" deep. It has 3 food dishes and opens at the top if I want let him out on a perch up there. Is it big enough.. my IRN I'm looking at getting is 4-5 months old.

SDAnimalKing

do albino males still get the ring? Ive only seen a couple of pictures of albinos and none of them with a ring?... how rare are they? can anyone answer my questions from my first post?

SDAnimalKing

To clip the wings and keep them from flight or let them fly?

SDAnimalKing

unfortunately not of the squirrel... it will take some digging, but I'll post up some of my chameleons and dragons...

SDAnimalKing

I left something out... for the total of $500 i get the bird, big bag of his current food, and a vet trip to an avian specialist.

SDAnimalKing

This teflon poison fuem thing scares me. I only have one or two pots/pans right now that are not coated in the stuff.... Can some one explain how this works... i've read in most places that the fuems occure when the teflon is over heated... well whats over heated... whats ok? I know the use of teflo...

SDAnimalKing

Ok so I'm probably going to be buying a IRN this saturday. It kind of depends on how the visit goes tomorrow morning... How much do the Albino's usually go for. I know in reptiles they are usually more expensive because they are more "rare" than the normal colors you come across. what are ...
