The lettuce wont really harm them from what Ive read but its more that it has no nutritional value so its pointless giving them it unlike Avocado which is harmful.

Glad to hear you wont be disappointed that he might not talk. Some people buy these birds then get frustrated they wont talk and its just a bit disappointing because theres so much more to them than them talking. Yes he is definitely a male then :) You need 10 posts before you can post a photo so yo...

fionalouise1989

Yes a video would probably be better! I guess you can do what you do with budgie and the towelling but Im always more of a let them slowly like me than forcing it on them kind of person. But I guess its whatever works for you hey. For now I think that Romantic Guy should just stick to enticing with ...

Hey guys I have been following this post as I am also interested to see if toweling works but by the sounds of it you are just scaring the life out of him so Id take Subodh's advice and cease it immediately. If he is running away from you maybe you are better trying to build trust with food etc for ...

Thats so clever and cute

Melon! Om nom nom haha

Damn I just wrote the biggest post then my bird decided to jump on my keyboard and delete it all haha little terror!! Ok I shall re write now. By markings does he mean a ring around the neck? If so definitely male. Otherwise it is hard to tell and Ive never heard anyone tell if they are male or fema...

fionalouise1989

Some IRNs will never talk and thats just it. The only thing Ive seen people say to do is just repeat the same phrase a lot of times or associate words with things like their favourite food when you give it to them say what it is and sometimes they associate with it and MAY start to say it... Have yo...

Glad to hear Rookie is ok!! Ive been following this thread but had no advice so I didnt post. Rookie is lucky to have someone like you who will pay the money to get him sorted out

Hey there, Im no expert as mine was hand raised. But I read ALOT lol be careful using gloves as sometimes they associate the "good" things with gloves and dont get used to your hands as such... Ive heard most people say if you are going to clip their wings (which is a controversial issue b...

Some ringnecks dont start talking until they are over a year old some earlier and some dont even talk at all. So you can only do what you are doing and wait and see!! My friends ringneck start talked at about just after a year and it was all of a sudden. Every bird is different, so try not to be dis...

fionalouise1989

Hey Ellie, A bloopers real would definitely be interesting watching haha :) also shows how much patience it takes to train birds! At first we didnt actually take him in a travel cage at all, he just sat on my shoulder in the car, then I hugged him close while we went inside haha but NOW I do take hi...

But it was more that you were thinking that you were all going to die because you let the bird out its cute and funny at the same time :) Your posts are like reading a story but an informative story where you learn as well as smile haha glad y...

fionalouise1989

Hey Ellie I have videos of me with my birdy on my chest/shoulder but I dont want to put them up because Im in them and he is near my face so probably not what you want haha... we socialised our bird a lot, taking him to other peoples houses, inviting people over so he got used to them. So he will st...

fionalouise1989

Ah Miss K your posts always make me smile

fionalouise1989

love the last one of all the blue babies so cute

but they were all pretty cute!!

fionalouise1989

Have you tried putting the cage next to your bed and having a nap? I know its in the other post but I found it really helped my little one settle in but mind you mine was hand tame. Also have you worked out his favourite food? If so have you tried eating it right next to him to see if he comes close...

fionalouise1989

Welcome Dave! Thats great of you to take them in and I wish you all the best getting them back to being healthy happy birds. I remember reading about a bird who only ate sunflower seeds but they converted him so it can be done :) Theres heaps and heaps of information on this site. I only got my bird...

fionalouise1989

Hey Claire, Thankfully we only lost power for a day. No flooding near us normally doesnt flood where we are. A few relatives got very close to getting flooded in eagleby the water came up to their drive way but it peaked then receded so all good here. Thoughts are with the people at Bundaberg and Gl...

fionalouise1989

Thanks for that Ellie! Will have to remember to write those dates down incase Im free to go to them!!

Fi

fionalouise1989

Yeah sounds like Ipswich is going to cop it again too. Im in Browns Plains so was never likely to flood thankfully just the power outages. Thoughts are definitely with those people in Bundaberg so sad

Sorry for hijacking your post there Angel

Aww poor Peri that was a bit of a battle wound. Battle scar will add character haha glad to hear all went well and she is home now. Yes if you find a good vet its always good to go back to them

Fi

fionalouise1989

Hey there, You can give them a water bowl and they might flick water around by themselves. Alternatively you can get a spray bottle and mist them. I got mine at 13 weeks and took him in the shower with me (some people have bars they can sit on but im in a rental so I cant put anything up) I had him ...

fionalouise1989

and then i realised youd probably want to go to the same one anyway since your birdies probably have some repore with that vet haha

Fi

fionalouise1989

Hey Ellie & Claire, I was just thinking about vets, the one that you go into Chermside (Brisbane Vet) has trained a vet that works in Macgregor which is a bit further than Chermside but also cheaper!! So I dont know how that works being on the sunshine coast with fuel whether it would be cheaper...

fionalouise1989

you have to wait until you get 10 posts before you can post links or pictures

fionalouise1989

I bet you will be glad to have her home! Glad to hear she is progressing and nearly ready to come home

Fi

fionalouise1989

Be warned some ring necks do not speak. They just chirp. So you can hope for them to talk but don't expect it as it may never happen.

Fi

fionalouise1989

A lot of the time if they are on your hand and you wobble it they must let go to get their balance. A lot of people advise not to wear gloves as then they never get used to your hands etc. another point I was reading is if you watch their body language you can sometimes tell when they are going to b...

fionalouise1989

Sounds lovely to me Ellie. Will give me something to look forward to!
Fi

fionalouise1989

hey Ellie, I would love to come but it depends when you are going as Im a bit short on money at the moment since Ive literally worked 7 hours this year! If you were looking at a month or so away I could probably make it happen though end of feb or early march. Im hoping work will start back up early...

fionalouise1989

The wing flapping is normal my birdy does it sometimes... Also he normally eats up right but will eat upside down if he can't get to a perch... I'm no expert though
Fi

fionalouise1989

Is Peri still going well?
Fi

fionalouise1989

that sounds small. my bird is 117 and he's 4 months old and the vet told me he needs to gain a little weight to get to 120. maybe someone else who is a breeder knows more I'm only going on what I've been told though. no expert though.
Fi

fionalouise1989

I'm not sure where it came from one of my friends had it on her wall. will have to investigate and see if I can find more!
Fi

fionalouise1989
