Hello everyone,
So I would like to know what is the best approach in determining my Aero's favourite treat. The reason why I ask this is that I normally slide pieces of fruit through the cage bars into his perch. He also doesnt take his treats till like 10-20 minutes later, Any ideas???

Re: I'am back---with a very long story to tell
I'm betting that AlphaWolf was busy with life and Aero didn't get the level of interaction he was used to, and slid backwards. Also, with the recent upset in Alpha's life, very possible his demeanor changed and scared the bird. Equally possible the family dynamic affected the bird, although probabl...

So recently I decided to try jackfruit. I love trying new foods and giant spiky ball (imagine the world cup with that ) grabbed my attention. I was wondering, is it safe for IRNs. Was scared about the sticky latex also.

When I give aero a mist, I stop when I see beads of water accumulating. But I noticed when they he does take a shower he will soak himself up. Maybe its just preferences, as we do when having a bath or a shower . But as long as you see beads of water then it is good!
