Jade just picked up the sound of my male schnauzer whining. My female beagle outside was in heat and he would go stand outside her kennel hoping for "access." When we let him back in the house he would walk around whining and going to the door to get back out. Jade has his whine down to the point th...

Try some everyday items. Jade loves the lids off of water bottles, just watch the soda lids because they have the plastic insert inside. He loves a lid off of a hairspray can, probably his favorite, he likes to fill it in his water bowl and drop it and watch the water splash out. The lid is pretty b...

Thanks for the reply. I wasnt sure and was just wondering. His tail has grown significantly in the last couple of months. He seems to be filling out some too. He is on pellets, seeds, fresh fruits and veges, and anything he can beg from us when we are eating. Thanks again.

At what age does an irn reach their max size of height and girth. I have read what is the normal range of each, but not when they reach either. Jade is 10 months and seems to be about as long as he will get, but I know his girth will expand, just wondered when he will max out?

DarinA

I read somewhere, I though it was on here, that garlic is wonderful for a birds digestion and it acts as a natural antibiotic and helps their immune system. My Jade loves to eat garlic, garlic bread, and garlic & herb wheat thins.

DarinA

Wonderful videos. The first vidio you have on the home page is what sold me on an irn. It is nice to see the progression. Definately keep the videos coming.

DarinA

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Very nice Jen. Those look big enough for me to live in. I am sure that they will both enjoy their new homes. It is good to hear about Byndi starting to cooperate some. Maybe he likes guys better than women. My wife spends more time with Jade than I do, he will take food from her hand, yak at her and...

Does anyone know much about Pacific Parrotlets. My wife fell in love with one at the pet store the other night. Of course the guy there didnt know anything about them, what we know is from the internet. I was wondering how one of them would be with Jade, and what they are really like. I am having tr...

DarinA

Hi Jen. Thanks is the way that Jade has slept since we got him. I put a post on here a few months ago asking the same thing. Everyone seems to think that it is normal as long as it is his way. Jade hangs in the front upper corner when he sleeps.

DarinA

I hope you didnt take this wrong. I am a new owner and try to take alot in when I can. There are alot of things said that is good and bad about everything, I just wanted to let you know what was said just to give you a heads up. Always the final decision is yours, and of course the best way to make ...

You might want to read the post called paper rolls under diet and housing. I dont know much about this, but I kind of go by what I see on here if it seems to be unanimous. Of course you have to use your own judgement, but just thought you might be interested in reading it.

DarinA

The only way I have any luck on here or anywhere else is to make sure I know what my camera is set on as far as the pixels setting. On here it seems that 640x480 works best. Then you will know how to resize on photobucket, same resizing each time if your settings are the same.

DarinA

The only others that I can think of is, coffee, alcohol, apple seeds, and limit sunflower seeds and griesy foods. They can eat cooked meats, my Jade doesnt seem too interested in them though.

DarinA

They worked just fine. I havent heard that accent in awhile neither. Now when all of us amateurs have questions, you can make us a video and show us what to do.

Will be looking forward to more.

These are the only pics that I have handy. This is our baby Molly. She is a 7 year old miniature schnauzer. http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b169/DarinAnders/molly2.jpg This is our newest addition, he is about a year old now, this is Little Man a miniature schnauzer also. http://i19.photobucket.com...

DarinA

He is beautiful. You have said that you are going to update his talking ability. I was researching birds when I found this sight, and his sound files are what made me decide on an irn. Hope to hear some more soon. My Jade is just 4 months so still too young to hope for anything yet.

DarinA

That is pretty much how Jade is. He is noisy in the morning and evening. He will get noisy if we are out of the room for awhile and wants us back in, but when we are in the room I think he is content and is pretty quiet. He will make a little like dolphin sound when he is playing some, but usually q...

DarinA

How old is Bubbles? It is going to take some time to get her to let you handle her. One thing that will help some is to stop letting her have sunflower seeds. If they eat too many sunflower seeds that leads to aggression. She can eat anything you eat except apple seeds, chocolate, avocado, and coffe...

DarinA

From what I have read, the weight that they eat is the main thing. He eats more fruits and veges weight wise than anything. He gets about twice as much pellets than seeds by weight also. Some days he eats all the pellets and some not. I think he just enjoys cracking open the seeds as much as anythin...

DarinA

I dont have near the experience as most on here, but what I have done since I got Jade is give him pellets for his main food source. I give him a limited amount of seed at night and fruits and veges twice a day on his playland. He has two bowls on his playland, one he gets fruits and veges and the o...

DarinA

Sounds like he is starting to fit in. Jade doesnt drink that often, I saw that you are watering him out of a bowl too, Jade takes about two quick drinks at a time. Doesnt seem to drink as long as they do from a bottle, must get more at a time I guess. Jade spreads his wings when he steps up when it ...

DarinA

Wonderful video, I never realized how long their tails are when they are fully grown. I couldnt make out what he was mumbling, but he is very cute. Looks like he could be alot of fun.

DarinA

My Jade loves the bathtub. I put about 2 inches of water in it and lay wash rags in the bottom of the tub, dont get caught doing this though, and he loves to dip his head in with his wings out and flip the water over himself. His favorite part though is he sits on the edge of the sink and get dryed ...

DarinA

Does sleeping clinging to the bars mean discontentment. Jade sleeps like that almost every night. I look in on him before I go to work and he is in the same top corner clinging on asleep. I thought that was just his way, he has been like that since I got him.

DarinA

I think that I am experiencing the first time my Jade is mad at me. I have had him about a month now and having seen him act like this before. I usually clean his cage a few times a week, but I kind of do it parts at a time, bottom every time, bowls every day, like that. Today is the first time that...

DarinA

Congratulations, the first step is always the biggest and hardest. Now you know the bites arent all that bad, and the most important thing is that they will keep getting easier and easier now that hes learning who the boss is.

DarinA

Let me know if they like their cozy corner. We have looked at them, cozy sacks, snuggle huts, and bird bunkers. It gets down below zero here in the winter at times. I have a nice magazine with everything in it, Doctors Foster & Smith. You can look it up at drsfostersmith.com.

DarinA

I live in Ohio and it has been getting down to the mid 30s at night lately. Our furnace is set at 70 but I give Jade his own oil radiator heater during the night. In the morning he is always up in the front corner almost upside down and all puffed out. As soon as he sees I am up he goes down to his ...

DarinA

I will probably go by there in the next few days and I will talk to her for you. If you or anyone else is interested, she sells the irns for $175, sun and jenday conures $300, grey africans $850, green cheeks $175, and I cant remember for the quakers, cresteds, and lories.

DarinA

Zanesville is about an hour east of Columbus on Interstate 70. I like to stop in and see her older birds and her new babies about once a week now that I know about her. I will talk to her about your troubles and see if she minds if I give you her number. We stopped by last Saturday and right now she...

DarinA

Hi Jen, if you are able to hook up with the breeder I was talking about in the other reply, she does their wings, nails and beak for $5. Having the insurance of someone that experienced is worth a whole lot more than that I think.

DarinA

Hi Jen, I am a fairly new member and new with irns also. I seem to be one of the lucky ones when it comes to a new irn taking right to me. From what I have read and learned on this wonderful sight, is that all irn are different and I think that the way they are raised from the start, day one, makes ...

DarinA

Thanks for the replies. I have figured out how to upload a pic under my name but I am having trouble getting it small enough. I have shrunk it down as much as I can, guess I will have to take a new pic with different settings.

DarinA

I think that I finally figured out how to put a pic on here. Here is a picture of Jade, "he" is about 4 1/2 months old. Still havent figured out how to put a small picture under my name, I will have to keep trying.

DarinA

I am still wondering why my Jade is so quiet. He is wonderful in every other way, steps up great, loves his bath and dried, likes to have his beak rubbed and under his wings, plays wonderful with his toys, but the only time he makes any noise at all is if we are on the porch in the evening he might ...

DarinA

I was wondering if it is safe to use kerosene heat in the winter around irns.

DarinA

I have had a few litters of kittens, and many litters of puppies. They are pregnant 9 weeks. She will get milk in the last week before she delivers, and will also show weird signs like digging in the carpet, couch etc fluffing it up for a good place to lay down. She will also turn her nose up to any...

DarinA

At what age can I expect my irn to start bluffing. I have seen on here and read about the bluffing, but I havent seen an average age when this occurs. Is there a specific time frame or is it something that can go on at any time.

DarinA

I am a new irn owner. I bought Jade two weeks ago today. I had two cockatiels for five years. I already have a more cuddly relationship with Jade then I did the tiels, he loves to be held, touched under the wings and to have his beak rubbed. He was just weaned two weeks before I got him and I dont k...

DarinA

I have read up alot on irns, and have had cockatiels in the past. I have had my irn Jade for two weeks now. I have read that irns are very loud to the point of getting on your nerves. So far about the only time that Jade is vocal is when we are on the front porch and the wild birds are going to roos...
