FINALLY! Here's Pie guys

Hiya!

Yeah AJ, I think you can easily make a brat out of a bird! LOL. She is quite demanding, when I wake up in the morning and put coffee on she instantly starts squawking. 'Look at me!' She also figured out we are up for this sitting on shoulders and heads thing, so she reserves it as treats. I wonder t...

Cold with some bread is YUM! :) She was out again today, didn't flap around but she sat on my head, and on my shoulder... on husband's head and his shoulder too. She gets a little cranky now and again and she was certainly cranky today, took a few bites out of us. Interestingly, she squawks loudly w...

Thanks AJ and MissK - I have an extra perch to put low down and maybe she'll learn that the bottom is hell. LOL MissK- I'm chuffed as punch. It took a few days of sitting with that cage door open and just talking softly and offering treats. She plopped behind me on the bed and scurried up my back, I...

Lethalfire, I think she was given up on for the same reasons people generally give up on animals: not enough time, not enough of a baby, too messy, sometimes bites. :( When Pie gets cranky she simply drops whatever treat is offered to the bottom of the cage, forget it. And don't touch. :D While she ...

Hi MissK, We had a breakthrough. I sat quietly with Pie. After about an hour she got on top of her cage. My husband came home from work and soon she took flight! She flew all around the room MissK! The top of the cupboard, then landed on the bed behind me and just like that she hopped on my back. We...

Thanks so much for the welcome

Hi there, I'll see, about other birds. I have two spare cages - one is nice and big too but I am only getting the base this weekend. I chose not to use that one because it doesn't have the perch that extends out when you open the cage. If I do get another ringneck, I think I will get another adult t...

Hi again MissK, That was my first instinct. As the owner of a lactose intolerant dog I am always wary of diary, and caffeine, well that needs little explanation. I haven't given her any and I don't plan on it after you kindly highlighted some details. In fact I read that birds are generally not supp...

Hi MissK, Thanks so much for your reply, all your input is very valuable. Where she was previously she had nothing in her cage but three perches. No toys, no treats, nothing. I have no idea why she has been passed on so many times, but I get the feeling that because she is only semi-tame, and a matu...

Hi guys, As I mentioned in the intro thread, I recently adopted a mature female IRN. Her previous owner had her for a little over a month, so I get the idea she was passed along from pillar to post quite a bit :cry: . Another reason why I think this: she is entirely unfazed by the change in her envi...

LOL - of course, I must remember to read sticky posts! Thanks for the welcome!

I'll post a picture of Pie when I'm less of a new user

Hi there, I recently adopted a semi-tame female IRN. Her name is pie. Decided to join this here forum to fill in the large gaps in my IRN education.

I tried to upload a pic of Pie, but the site complains it look too 'spamy'.
