Scales lifting, blood!

Help! Got in today and there's blood on all the perches. Straight to the vet, who proceeded to charge me £33 to tell me I need over £300 worth of tests done?!?! I bought Ziggy home, warm bath and it's just a small nick on the under side of his left foot. His right foot/leg joint does have lifted sca...

Re: 50ft high maisonette home.....

Ok, I think that's all great! No he's not taking food yet but looks interested through the bars at it and is building confidence slowly. I could use a bathroom but there lots of glass (showers ect) I think it'd be a scary experience getting him in there too... Could put a dark sheet over the glass t...

What is it?!

At bedtime, Ziggy makes a carummpff click crackle heeeek crunchy noise for ages... I can't get close to see if there's anything in his mouth but there doesn't seem to be? Is this him practicing talking or regurgitating seeds or something? Help!

50ft high maisonette home.....

How long should I wait till I let Ziggy out?! He's wanting it so bad I can tell!!! It's been nearly a fortnight home, his favourite is apple, and he seems to be getting exited when I make the ting ting ting noise with his treat jar... So... He would eventually come home, I thought if I give normal f...

Pooping when I get close?!

Ziggy has been home for just under a fortnight, last week I got him a string toy. It's not been touched, I think he hates it. Since putting it in he poops whenever I go near him. Why?! Shall I just take it out? I think it might have been too much too soon :s I just want him to be happy but don't kno...

Re: Clipped or flying?

Thank you! Yes we seem to be getting on, biiiig dilated eyes and coming to the un covered part of the cage more to look what I'm doing or while I chat to him. More crackly noises this evening too :) very cute! Not one showing the ring, not black at all just a faint hunt of another colour to his body...

Re: What is your bird's favorite kind of music?

Ziggy really seems to like ludovico Einaudi, he's nearly one and came home on tuesday (22.01.2012)
The whole new album gets him hopping around the cage and seems to give him a bit more confidence. I played some ringneck sounds from youtube to him and he seemed very interested in that too..

Re: Clipped or flying?

This is all really interesting, thank you. I won't make any decisions yet... And I think that un clipped sounds like the best idea. I'm just worried on both sides! So I guess it's whats best for the bird, seeming to be un clipped and freeeee!

Thank you, thats really informative.... so I will now try to get a young bird that has had all its feathers, learned to fly and then had its wings clipped. can that all happen in under 6 months? Also, if a bird is clipped, and you do nothing, the feathers will grow back and the bird will have the ab...

hi every one! I'm going to be buying an IRN in the next week or so, and just wanted some advice... I have a large maisonette apartment, loads of flying space... BUT the main reason I would like the bird is due to its ability to talk and train... So. My questions are... Is it cruel to clip wings? Wi...
