Re: Set up to Breed Green/Blue IRN
Hey,
was just wondering how you would attach the big nestbox to the cage iteself? i want to give the birds more room within and would be nice to sort of attach it to the side.
will birds definitely not breed if the nest is at the bottom?

Re: Is the IRN a male or Female? Confused.com
do you think its a female? The ring has not fully appeared yet and his bites arnt very harsh (thank god he doesnt bite hard at all). However i think looking at the back of his head the hens do have a more of a round head compared to the males who are much flatter. (not 100%).

Update : sort of crushed my pellets mixed in with alittle bit of seeds to persuade and added water and left to cool down. the parrot started to chew on it slowly slowly. iv done only alittle bit to check how much he eats so i can be sure hes not just eating the seeds but the pellets too.

The best way to Introduce Pellets?? NutriBird P15 Pellets
How should i introduce these into cheekos diet??
I have put them into the cage but havnt seen him nibble on them much.....so was wondering the best way to introduce the food to him?
He loves his appples and mangoes! but need him to be on a healthier diet and not just seeds only.
