well not a happning thing. i have tried lots of different things and hes still not eating them, ive filled up his food bowl with many different things and a few pellets and hes eaten everything but the pellets what next?

but hes so lovely.he comes out of his cage all the time now but doesnt venture off it. sits up there and chatters away to everyone, very people shy tho but thats ok we just give him his space. I got bitten a real nast one the other day, i thought bugger it im going to give him a shower so i caught h...

ive ordered another ringneck, this 1 is going to be handtame from 9 days old. will love cuddles right from the start, i have mango who is not tame but slowly getting better do you think the new bird will help him (mango) become more trusting if it sees me handling it?

this 1s going to be yellow

like a cat, but only when he out of his cage and chatters away, im sure im heAring words but cant quite make out what he saying hes very quite.

i would love to put some pics on but how do i do it?

hey it worked haha i had an orange beside me and he came right over and ate it

no he didnt break skin thank god, im not sure how old he is but the mani got him off said he was this years chick??

yet another breakthrough, finally its not heaps but, i feed mango his favourite this morn a piece of apple mmmmm. anyway i did it from the outside of the cage but left 1 tiny finger on it it took ageeesss but finally he couldnt resist and came for a bite, he took i then spastically took off flapping...

I let Mango out yesterday and toweled him gently so i could have a wee cuddle, yes i got bite but stayed calm. i didnt hurt him had a wee cuddle then let him go but then he climbed on his cage turned his back to me and wont speak to me.

got my first bite today yow not good lol.
but i was very brave and didnt squeak a word

yay Mango has been comming out of his cage, still wont let me get to close but today he jumped on the floor went fo a wee walk around then climbed back up onto his cage, hes done this twice today, and hes starting to play a bit so hes getting more confident as the days go by. I just cant wait till h...

cool will try it at breakfast time

Mango refuses to eat pellets. hell pace the bottom of the cage at night time feed time for anything but pellets. he has them in his cage all the time but would rather starve then eat them. any suggestions? ive tried mixing sed with them but he eats the seed and leaves the pellets

i cant move him because his cage is huge. but ive had a wee break through he climbed out and sat on top of the cage. for awhile, and then i put a bit of apple in his cage after half an hour and he went back in, hes slowly getting there

its so hard to be patient sometimes. but i no i no it has to be done. slow progress here still just getting him used to the house i think as its quite buzy and there are always people coming and going. i only do training with him when im here by myself otherwise theres to much happining. ive started...

hes soooooo close will come 10cm away from taking the food from my hand then backs away

right mangos wings are clipped, i sit and talk to him, what comes next, should i let him out? or finger train him first or maybe stick train him, can i do that in the cage? he wont take food off me yet maybe thats what i should be doing first.

Also it looks like ive finally converted him to eating pellets to. didnt take long hes a quick learner

Im still working on getting him to take food out of my hand. Basicaly hes still settling in but I dont thhink it will take to long to win the we guy over. I spend alot of time just talking to him through the cage at the moment. He is in the lounge with me so im always in his sight and hes just start...

oh I hope not, hes coming up a year old in september

Its done he is now a clipped wing bird. He was soooo good didnt put up a fight at all didnt screech or try biting. Hes a bit weary of me now tho but im sure ill win his love back in no time. Im feeling very excited, I hope 1 day ill be able to touch him and ave him eating out of my hand

have decided to clip vets coming today to do it , i think for both me and the Mango this is the right step to take

Ive only had my IRN for 2 weeks, mangos wings are not clipped so i dont let him out of his cage yet. hes slowly getting used to me . right now hes taking his first bath in a bowl of water i placed in his cage. Anyway im tossing and turning about the wing clipping i even dream about it at night. if i...

ok, illlook into it tomorrow. 1 other thing. i have not handled mango at all and im guessing he will bite me. should i use a towel to hold him or gloves?

thank-you..yes im seriously thinking of doing the wing clip, its hard to realy know what to do i hate the thought of stressing im out.

Hi everybody, i have just got myself a IRN he wasn't hand reared but is only this seasons chick so isnt very old. I have had him/her (all tho ive gotten into the habbit of saying good boy to him) for just 2 weeks Monday. And have named him Mango. Hes very slowly getting used to me.still scared tho, ...
