Re: How to tell if my IRN is content
So sad that someone kept bouncing what seems to have been a once very loved and socialized pet. So glad that you gave her a good home where she can live happily and with room to move and toys to destroy. Just my two cents worth: tea is actually good for all different kinds of reasons and there are L...

Re: Frozen veggies and fruit
Fresh is always preferred but frozen does come in handy at times when time is short or when certain things are not in season. It won't hurt them in anyway. For frozen fruit make sure it's natural and no sugar stuff added to it. There are tons of recipes out there for "chop" that you make a...

mutation question
I have a 4-5 week old IRN that I am handfeeding, I was told that the Mother is a lutino and the Father was a blue. The person I got the IRN from said that as my baby feathers and molts it could end up with a blue hue to it or shadings of blue, is this true and is it possible to tell the gender witho...

Re: I drew his birdiness!

Would LOVE to see more or even a Nila cartoon strip would be neat. VERY NICE drawings, and very nice subject ...
