Re: new owner of IRN

Hey,

I found clicker training a more 'friendlier' alternatively to the towel, especially as It'll help with training in the future. I'm definitely going along the patience route rather than toweling him unless I have to, I feel mean desensitising him to my hand in that way!

Jade.

Re: new owner of IRN

Hi All, I've been following the thread for a while now, and I have found it very helpful as my little Yoshi is much the same a the moment (although he will not even step on my hand yet!).

Re: A Little Guidance Needed for New IRN

From what the last owner said she never towelled him, because he was never let out (that was evident when we first let him out bless him!).

He's just let my partner and I stroke his wing a few times and is now letting us stoke his toes a little. Taking him i...

Re: A Little Guidance Needed for New IRN

Just another little note - he allows me to get my finger almost to his feet, then he gives a very slow bite. I just wait until he lets go, and ignore him. Is He being nasty or is he testing the water/letting me know it's too close for comfort ? He doesn't fluff up or fly off, just a very slow and so...

A Little Guidance Needed for New IRN

Hello, Firstly, I apologise that I am adding a new "new IRN need help" kind of question, I have gone through the forum, however, would like some personal opinions! Last Friday I was blessed to get Yoshi, and eight month old IRN. I was told he was male, however, he only has a very faint rin...
