That is very impressive! I'm going to have to attempt something similar!, thanks for the inspiration!

Kray Twins

i'm jealous, in time these guys will have some sayings!

Kray Twins

I got a certain type of look from Ronnie the other day when he tried to eat one of our house rabbits pellets...it was something along the lines of;

"What the hell is this?! No thanks...!"

Kray Twins

I'm not sure why I haven't asked about this yet but it's been apparent for a while now that with their maturity the little guys are starting to show some aggression (not that bad!) towards each other. They're generally pretty happy with each other they groom each other and Ronnie lets Reggie stand o...

That's quite cute. Mine like to look at me and pick up things from there bowl and just chuck them...

Kray Twins

oh dear oh dear....
You shouldn't be asking these questions after taking ownership of a bird that young.

Please reply soon as you need some advice pretty sharpish.

Welcome to the forum Peter,

I don't know any breeders unfortunately, there's someone where I work that may do but i'd imagine that the SW is a little too far for you to travel?

Kray Twins

wow! That really is amazing.

Makes me think serious about an aviary when I buy a place.

Kray Twins

Congrats!

Kray Twins

They're a very vibrant pair, awesome!

Kray Twins

That's pretty cool, it's good that he has the right context of what he's saying too. Very clever!

Kray Twins

oh no! One day the male will know what to do, you have to give us boys time to get it right remember

Chin up!

Kray Twins

I'd continue eating it!

Mind you, there's a stash of frozen fruit in the freezer for this very situation. When it's hot I chuck some in their water bowl so they can bob for individual fruits...

Kray Twins

She's awesome, let us know how you get on.

Ellie.

I've been shocked by the two I have attacking my feet when i'm not looking! It's quite funny when they get my girlfriend though...

Kray Twins

Looks like they are too close for it to look like it's defending its' territory to me. Surely them being that close would make the bird actually defend its' territory. My guess is that if they were that close and your IRN was defending it's territory you would know about it. Looks harmless to me, co...

Kray Twins

Welcome to the forum,

Work through the biting - search for "bluffing" for tips - it'll soon pass.
Looking forward to seeing your pictures!

Kray Twins

Wow 10 fids, that's going to be some challenge.

Good luck!

Kray Twins

Generally the same.

Although depending on what fruit, veg, etc they've had it could be all manners of colours. Not sure if that's 'normal' although my guys seem healthy and happy.

Kray Twins

I'm glad that this was resolved with a good ending!

I'm yet to find an avarian vet around me, I may need to travel to find one.

Kray Twins

Hell and welcome to the forum,
Quite an IRN selection there, they look healthy.

what other birds do you have?

Kray Twins

Wow! I considered the fact that mine could lay one day...then they turned out to be males!

I'll follow your news with interest!

Kray Twins

I always give my guys a couple of "Monkey Nuts", and they love them. They also know the bad ones from the good ones pretty well they're intelligent birds. There may be bacteria in any of the food you give them or the water they drink perhaps we should stop giving that to them too?! 1 or 2 ...

Kray Twins

Thankfully it was a long, long time ago now! I'm extra cautious when heading outside now to make sure that Ronnie isn't hiding on me.

Ellie.

The peace and quiet afterwards makes it worthwhile!

We're having a shower put in this week so we'll see if they're interested in coming in with me at the weekend.

Kray Twins

Miserable UK Here, I'm from Plymouth originally but now live in Taunton.

Kray Twins

Seek advice from a professional immediately.

Kray Twins

This post brought back memories of my encounter! *here*

I'm glad you have him back! Can't believe his cheek of "Here Kitty" though that made me chuckle!

Kray Twins

I think I read on here that you will know that they want to be put together because they'll sleep as close to each other as possible in the cages if they're next to each other.

I wouldn't know how to progress further if this doesn't seem to be happening though.

Kray Twins

Phew! I began to get a bit of hypochondria then when I saw those pictures in the first post. I thought of the molt that mine are coming through now. One thing i've been doing over the past couple of months is to find a way of putting a dish of sorts into their cage (I used an Ice Cream tub and a cou...

Kray Twins

It almost sounds like bluffing but the screeching when you come near is not something i've had to deal with (it's usually when i'm away!). I would agree with the message above and go back to basics. I would imagine that ignoring the screeching and pulling up a chair next to the cage would show the l...

Kray Twins

Treating 'him' is definitely the way forward. For a couple of days put maybe a couple of pieces of the treat into his bowl and stay close while he goes to investigate. Then a few more etc. After a few more days move the food bowl (if you can) closer to the opening of the cage and put some more in. E...

Kray Twins

Phew!

Kray Twins

Wow that's a beautiful bird! Intrigued to see if there are some fids coming your way soon!

Kray Twins

Sounds like the little one is settling in fine. My 2 were a little cautious for a day or so when we first got them but now you can't shut them up, enjoy the peace and quiet as it's probably the last time you'll hear it at home completely for the next 25 years. Any pictures of the little one and his ...

Kray Twins

As the title suggests, it's been quite a while now since I last had a look around here. First and foremost, sincere apologies! The Krays (Ronnie and Reggie) are still here and still keeping me busy. The best bit of news with this though is that their names are now aptly fitting not only in their per...

Kray Twins

More to the point, why do you want bluffing to start?

You may have been lucky and there's no power struggle between owner/pet. Be happy without the bluffing, the little blighters know exactly where to bite you when they want to hurt...

Kray Twins

Awesome pictures.

Do you not worry about him flying around with the windows uncovered like that though?

Kray Twins

I also work a full time job, usually leaving the house at 7:15am and not returning until around 4-5pm. I had worried about this previously but thought that as long as I give them plenty of attention when i'm actually home there shouldn't be an issue. Due to the nature of owning pets, you're always g...

Kray Twins

What a brilliant way to become an owner!

How do you successfully photograph an IRN?! They're so inquisitive towards the camera, Ronny simply wants to grab the lens and eat the shiny bits!

Kray Twins

yesterday I went out to the garage to fetch some allen keys. As I opened the garage door I heard a fluttering of wings and turned to see Ronnie flying away... As I passed their cage Ronnie decided to ninja jump onto my back, I had a tshirt and a thick jumper on so didn't even realise... Long story s...

Kray Twins

Thank you very much Bec, will start trying that straight away. I'm not a fan of negative reinforcement and have strayed away from covering them over or hiding them in a room upstairs, hopefully this will keep my partner happy as some progress may be found.

Many Thanks and Happy New Year!

Kray Twins

Finally got some pictures, they're not the best but a new camera is on the list of presents for the new year so will have some decent pictures soon. As I'm typing this Ronnie is sat on my fingers bouncing with the key presses so excuse any random letters that may appear. This is Ronnie protecting my...

Kray Twins

Hi I'm Lee and I've had two IRNs for around 3 weeks now. They previously belonged to my mum who had rescued them from someone who couldn't cope with them. My mum is a little bit of a Doctor Doolittle so took them under her wing but then herself couldn't give them the attention they needed as she alr...
