Re: Toys/Diet/Activities/Tricks

Re: Toys/Diet/Activities/Tricks

His solo cup routine does not happen with regularity but when I am able to rush with my phone to video him - he hears me and immediately takes the cup off. I will endeavor to get that rascal videoed at some point. On another note, do IRN have a keen sense of smell or is it just visual? Sometimes I t...

Re: Toys/Diet/Activities/Tricks

Donovan - thank you so much for all the helpful hints on how to have a trick bird! I will get started on him tonight and let you know my progress. I realize I'm the one with the learning curve because he is such a smart little guy. Thanks again.

Re: Toys/Diet/Activities/Tricks

Let me give you a little bit of history on my Chicken. My daughter purchased him from a "bird sales" lady who didn't have a clue as to how to take care of birds but unfortunately she is still in business and probably gets her birds smuggled in from Mexico. I digress. Anywho, she bought Chi...
