Ron is on waterworks road Chermside. He specializes in birds only.

I mix a cod liver capsule through their food, makes a huge difference!

Good luck!

Dare2b

Did he come with the injury or has it happened since?

I had a bird with a similar injury who has since healed. Along with cream from the vet ( I use Ron Woodhouse) I added cod liver oil to the diet. Huge difference!

Dare2b

sorry would need a clearer picture.

Dare2b

Unfortunately plumheads are a naturally hard bird to handfeed. Try a syringe.

Dare2b

Did you want photos of Creamino and Golden Olive? I have both colours in my aviary along with Violet Lacewing and white head white tail.

Dare2b

ha ha would love to see some photos!

Dare2b

How old is the bird? A lot of babies will make sounds that dont sound like larger ringnecks.

Dare2b

Looks like a standard blue to me. A lacewing blue has a yellow head, wings and tail.

I have 5 "standard" blues who are all different shades.

Dare2b

Creamino is generally in the chicks.

Dare2b

I have a violet lacewing hen I want to breed this year.

What colour males are going to be the best to breed to her to produce Violet young? generally speaking

Dare2b

My breeding birds share with my Galahs, I have some quails and bantam chickens in the bottom to keep the cages clean.

Dare2b

I would have said a gold olive hen.

Dare2b

What a beautiful bird. I can't see your photo, but I can see the video. I have a green one that is about the same age named P.J. I've had him for two weeks as well. They are just amazing parrots aren't they? Sorry the other photos didnt show up on my phone when I was looking. He is definately a blu...

Dare2b

I can tell you first hand they talk, my 7 month old IRN says 58 words hes talking young how you manage to do that? Not really sure! He goes to work with me everyday, in a pet supply store. He is with me 24/7. He also shares a cage with a 6 year old irn who talks. This may have made it easier for hi...

Dare2b

I can tell you first hand they talk, my 7 month old IRN says 58 words and constructs them into sentances.

Dare2b

He looks more lacewing or Pallandino to me than a cinnamon wing blue. Maybe a skyblue but I cant see clearly.

Nice looking boy, will grow into a gorgeous bird!

Dare2b

I'm in alexandra hills.

You van text me a photo and I can post it for you.

Totally agree with the above answers. I have both male and female tame birds. The male does talk more than the female, he is also noisier, and cockier. My birds have access to cuttlefish bone at all times, they are fed on pellets, nuts, fruit, veg and some seed. I still always mix minerals and vitam...

Dare2b

Definite male. He's got the full forehead, the ring forming, fuller chest etc

I find the males are easier to pick as the head shape gives it away!

Dare2b

Ringnecks not reach sexual maturity till 2-3 years old.

If it's only young you've got a while yet till you can breed from it.

Dare2b

Blue lace wing

Dare2b

Do you have a pic?

Some colored birds only get a pale ring that barely shows (my creamino cock is like that).

Dare2b

I would love to dearly breed some violets and some albinos of my own. My current pairs are - Silver cinnamon x creamino Creamino x Albino Blue cinnamon x Olive Turquoise x pastel blue lacewing Grey x Albino Blue turquoise x Albino I would also love to know what I could expect from them. Last clutch ...

Dare2b

Where abouts are you?

If your local Im happy to show you my birds (both tame and not) so you can make an informed decision.

Its a big step getting a bird that can live up to 25 years, especially one that can be tempremental!

Dare2b

I have more that 1!!

I have standard turquoise, a blue Turq, 3 albinos, 1 pastel blue lace wing, sky blue lace wing, blue lacewing, silver cinnamon, blue cinnamon, grey head and tail and a violet green.

Dare2b

Looks like an olive. It also looks male to me going not only by the ring forming but by the forehead shape. This is my olive hen. As you can see there is no sign of a ring at all. She is 5 years old so fully mature. http://i428.photobucket.com/albums/qq4/CalamityJane/Ringnecks/Mixed100511061.jpg

Dare2b

With the hen being mistreated it may take her a while to come round. I have a male here who was in cage when it was hit off a shelf and broke his wing, beak and leg. It took 7 months for him to become truely comfortable with us (he now crawls all over us and loves company). I dont introduce them slo...

Dare2b

Is it 7 weeks or 7 months?

Dare2b

Agree with Glenn on this one. I breed IRN's I hand raise them as well. My male (7 months old) comes to work with me most days. He is a very dominate bird, but when he is getting out of hand he gets time out. He has learnt that no means no and hates to be put in his cage so generally stops as soon as...

Dare2b

They may have handled him to feed him but only for that purpose. The bird may not have been handled well and in a comfortable manner nor gently. I have many birds here who are now just aviary birds because "breeders" sold them as handraised birds - not tame birds.

Dare2b

I was hoping to get some mutations that are not yet common in Australia.

Your a legend Glenn, I will get on to them tomorrow!

Dare2b

doesnt sound like the bird has been handled. Did you buy it as a handled bird?

Dare2b

Doesnt look like a pied, looks like the bird has french moult.

Pied generally will give white wings (flight feathers).

Dare2b

Blue Turquoise is on the rope

Turquoise on the perch

Dare2b

We place the boxes in generally mid winter. Our first eggs are normally laid withing the first few weeks of spring.

Ringnecks dont become sexually mature until around 2 years old. Breeding proir to this can be dangerous to the hen.

Dare2b

With my babies, we handle them as much as possible both before and after feeding. Our babies didnt start sitting on our fingers until they were ready, however we allowed them to climb over us and fossick around on the floor under supervision.

The more interation the better.

Dare2b

It sounds like it. A tame bird normally will come to greet you, and while it will squark it wont do it in an alarmed fashion as your bird seems to be doing.

Dare2b

A lot of birds will do this out of boredom. It is a learned behaviour.

Try changing his toys around, move his cage regulary, add some nuts in shells to his diet (it gives them something to do and keeps them busy with a treat at the end).

Dare2b

What are the sexes of the birds? How big is the cage they are in? Are any of them previous pairs? Are they related? What are you feeding? What do you do when the fight? How long have they been together? It may be pecking order, it may be that you have 2 dominate birds or 2 males and 1 female there a...

Dare2b

Is she handraised?

If she isnt handraised you may have some difficulty in taming her. She will be very nippy and scared.

If she is handraised properly you shouldnt have any problems!

Dare2b

Some birds take a while to settle down. I purchased an older bird who "spoke' and was "extremely" tame. I found for the first 2 months he didnt say a single word, hid in his cage not wanting to do anything. My other ringnecks are very outgoing birds and very vocal. It seemed he just w...

Dare2b

I am looking to get information on importing birds directly from India to add to our breeding program. Has anyone done this before or know of where I can find the info. I have been trying for days yet must not be asking the right questions because I cant find anything! We have been mainly searching ...

Dare2b

I dont believe there is a true "Rainbow" ringneck.

I have 8 different lacewings ranging from pastel through to skyblue lacewings.

If you have a look on my facebook page it lists the colours on there easily to see.

Question on weaning. My Blues are refusing to be weaned. I even went to the point of not feeding them all day just leaving fruit, crumbles and seed in the cage for them. By the evening they were starving. I have done this a few times now as the younger babies go to work with me in the day time but b...

Hi Dare2b. I used to live in Wynnum - very close to you - although have emigrated to the Sunshine Coast!
