just want to say a big thankyou to everyone, your forum posts has helped me understand my babies a lot, today my babies had their health check and the vet said they was in really good condition, even tho some vets ask people to wait outside so a bird dont link us with any kind of possible trauma i d...

eckythump

well just in case it was that my cages was too small i went out and bought 2 decent size cages that make my babies look as big as budgies in them, pennie still does the same thing, they are both booked in for a health check this morning so i will ask if they know why they pace in this manner, on a l...

hi

my bird paces and shouts and eats just like yours, she never used to do it till i brought my 2cnd IRN home, so i think it maybe a territorial thing, i think shes telling my blue that this is her cage, he can go on it but this is her domain.

eckythump

separating them into different cages maybe a good idea, it sounds like they are more dependent on each other and will probably continue in this manner, if they are apart there is a chance they will become more dependent and tolerant of human contact, i'm not sure how early bluffing starts but i thin...

eckythump

ok so here it is, all IRN's are different just like most humans haha, the best thing you can do is read up on other peoples experiences and what the outcome was for that individual, that way if what they did work you could perhaps try the same, however if it did not work you have learned something, ...

eckythump

most owners... and when i say most i mean all owners will have photos of their pets, look for any distinct markings and tell the owners you require a photo that they have of the bird, my guess is that if he/she talks it would be a massive help coz the owner should know a majority of the words, howev...

sounds like a story with a happy ending

Hi ecky, I meant that Blue has some trained behaviours already - you mentioned the give a kiss, plus the talking and being semi tame. I bet you are going to discover he knows more than that, too. Now I'm dying to see this bird auction as well! hi missk, i am learning things about blue everyday as h...

eckythump

Hi. Yes, I did misunderstand. I thought you meant you were not going to train them at all. Sorry. Now I think I understand you meant you will not force them to do something they don't want to do. That's great. We can all agree that's the best way to go! :D I see you are offended because you think I...

eckythump

Hey, I understand wanting to let them "do it naturally". I think you might want to consider my personal, in my house, preferred for me training method, which I really consider to be "lazy training". I would rather enjoy my birds than pursue an agenda - seems too much like work t...

eckythump

heres an update, blue has been with us for just under 3 weeks now and both my birds are coming along in leaps and bounds without me having to do anything except spending plenty of time with them, pennie now comes to me outside the cage and gives me kisses and rubs noses, she is also very vocal and s...

great comment lol

eckythump

a little tip for u m8.... you have had the bird 3 weeks right, well to start with birds dont see glass so when they fly into it its a bid for freedom..... solution.... put nets up on ur windows, if that dont work put the lights on and close ur curtains while the bird is out, do not move ur cage as t...

eckythump

i don't really like the fact that blue's wings have been clipped although i can see the benefits of it, got a question for anyone who knows the answer....... do IRN's learn off each other because blue is really tame and will come on to me out of the cage but pennie will only come to me while in the ...

eckythump

I don't know the situation around the other bird starving or if that's even true but I have heard of it happening even when they had seed. Basically they ate most of it but the bowl still looks full so no new seed gets put in. In any case, how is pennie handling blue? well blue is a bit older than ...

ok ive been on this site a while and thought i wud put a pic up of my IRN, ive had her for 2 months now and today i went out and bought a 2cnd IRN for my partners birthday called blue, now pennie is no longer lonely ( not that she was anyway lol ) PENNIE http://i57.tinypic.com/m7s0eu.jpg BLUE http:/...

Hi, I used to own my own blue mutation IRN. She was a female about 14 months old. One time on a Winter's morning I woke up to see her at the bottom of the cage...dead. :( I had her since she was about 4 months old, and I tamed her, had a good bond with her and I would take her out each day and she ...

eckythump

my IRN is called pennie, my other half named it that because shes a fan of the big bang theory, summet else shes got wrong coz it is starting to look like pennie is a boy lol, the other IRN was called freddie who sadly passed 3 weeks after we got him, dont know why i picked that name and wish i hadn...

eckythump

Ok, thanks. I'll try them. The breeder told me to keep clear of fresh fruit and veg as it makes them ill. I was informed to feed him cockatiel mix. This didn't sound right to me and went against what I researched. wise choice mate, some of my research said that the wild IRN's are thriving in the so...

Thanks for the link Donovan.. I'll try to upload a pic without registering to see what happens and maybe sign up if it works (it failed first attempt). Watch this space. My green budgie has found the ringnecks cage.. They are now playing I'm gonna get the toes and tail feathers through the bars. Th...

Hi.. Am new to this site and today I bought home my first parakeet. It's in a large cage in a quiet corner of my lounge and I'll leave it alone for a few days at least to allow it to climatise. This bird is 5months old and has never been handled. And it shows. It's climbing all over its cage at the...

Hello everyone, i have recently got a IRN names Borris, he is about 1 years old. I've had him for about 4 days and i'm pretty sure he wasn't hand raised. Anyway, he will not willingly step up, we have to sort of corner him in his cage with the stick until he steps up then quickly pull him out so he...

I'm trying all sorts at the moment, I bought the BirdTricks DVD's but am having no luck. I don't know whats right and wrong to do because everyone has a different opinion about what is right.. My IRN Joe is now 6 months old and I need to re tame him as at the start he was a stunning cuddling bird b...

My baby irn is about 7-8 weeks old. He does not stand normally. It is hard to explain because i dont think its something wrong with his legs because he walks and flies pretty well. However, when he is perched he stoops, and is always crying although he eats well too. Also, i'm not sure his digestio...

eckythump

its a good idea to separate them, it will probably calm the yellow 1 down and make him/her more dependent on human contact, u may be amazed at the results, good luck

eckythump

Keep trying with different foods. Like a child who never had ice cream yet, she may not know her favourite foods and may need to learn them. Nuts (almonds, peanuts), seeds (sunflower, safflower), and fruit (apple, pear) as well as spray millet are all frequent favourites. Don't forget to eat these ...

eckythump

very good idea missk however pennie dont seem to favour anything as a treat so i think it may be a long process of gaining trust :D this morning was the 1st time i could tickle her and her allow me to for a few seconds at a time, small steps but probably giant 1's for pennie, one thing that winds my...
