Re: Adding another IRN

Thanks Ellie. I think I will leave things as they are for now. He is only 11 months old or so now (not sure of his exact hatch date but he was born in September last year).

Re: Very discouraged...my 10 month old IRN attacking me only

I just wanted to update this thread with our progress. Henry and I are doing much much better. He calmed down tremendously after having his wings clipped of course. We have started clicker training and he is responding very well. He is soooo smart. I have backed off with him a little as I think that...

Adding another IRN

My IRN Henry is about 10 months old. Will he be happier with another IRN to share his time with? I have a cockatiel that he does not like at all.

Re: Very discouraged...my 10 month old IRN attacking me only

Thank you so much for the advice! I am so glad I found this website. I actually had a bad dream about the whole thing last night. I hate the thought of losing my relationship with my little buddy. I will start the feeding schedule right away. I guess I should leave the food in the cage during the da...

My 10 month old IRN Henry is attacking me almost daily. I bought him from a breeder when he was 5 months old. He is often sweet and loving but for the past few weeks has displayed some aggressive and moody behavior, nippy and screaming. This was fine and I attributed it to bluffing. no problem. Late...
