i call our birds our kids. he he. i love it, but dan looks at me like im nuts. they are like kids in a way.

Peanut

just thought i would post in the news that peanut is a boy. i was so happy when i found out, that i started to cry. a good cry though. it was like finding out the sex of your child. very emotional. was anybody else this way when they found out, or did i take it more emotionally than others?

Peanut

wow. He sure loves

his bell. Is that like their mating dance or something?

Peanut

well peanut is a boy! so i should expect a lot of crazyness to start occuring here soon huh. peanut will be a year old feb.15th. so another year before the ring comes in? seems like a long time to wait. oh well. im still happy he's a boy. maybe we should get a female for him..

Peanut

Hehe, Peanut has been dancing all the time now. I say "are you goona gance pretty boy?" and his head goes every which way. He likes to take his food one by one and hold them in his mirro, so he can watch himself eat. He also likes to play peek-a-boo in his mirror. I think we bought a weird...

Peanut

Peanut had started loosing feathers about a week or do ago... When we came back from up north (we were gone a day) Meatball had started to moult as well. Do birds usually moult at the same time? Or do they see the other bird moulting, and think it would be fun to pull out their feathers too? Im conf...

Peanut

I caught Peanut dancing the other day in his cage. It was soooo funny! His head was going all around in circles and he was prancing back and forth like a magicle pixie horse. It wasn't a slow moving dance, it was fast.. like his head was going to go flying off in the other direction. I had no idea h...

Peanut

"Aww, thankyou so much for complimenting my hansome little colors... But I may not be this color anymore. Mom says I've started moulting. Its weird. I think its funny when she goes to give me kisses and I try to bite her lips off. I also love when Im done taking a bath and she goes to clean my ...

Peanut

I think you're right about the hormones. I always give him kisses before bed, and last night I put my hand in there to get him, and he bit me HARD. I continued to try to get him, and he was still being all sassy. I closed the cage door and tried again, and this time it worked, but when I went to giv...

Peanut

Well, the feathers are so small, they look like little hairs. My bad

Peanut

"Mom, what are you doing with that thing?" http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p85/snowmobilequeen2005/peanut5.jpg http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p85/snowmobilequeen2005/peanut4.jpg "Aern't I just a hansome little devil" http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p85/snowmobilequeen20...

Peanut

I have noticed over the last two days that Peanut has lost a lot of down feathers. He has also lost a few other bigger feathers. Does this mean he is starting to moult? He has also been sassy to anybody but me latley. He wont even let my boyfriend come near him. hehe.. He like looks at me like (Help...

Peanut

Well, I have decided to get Peanut a DNA test today. I should know within 1-3 weeks if its a boy or a girl... How EXCITING!!!

Peanut

Ok, I noticed that Peanut has some small black hairs coming in between his beak and his eyes. They keep getting a little darker every week. Does this mean Peanut could be a boy, or do all IRN's get this dark coloring there?

Peanut

yeah, I brought that piece of poop harness thing back. It was quite the struggle to get him in it, much less trying to get him out.

I think we're going to get one of those flight suit/bird diaper things here soon instead.

Peanut

When we were at petsmart today, we bought a bird harness for our IRN. We tried it on him, and he wants absolutley NOTHING to do with it. Is there anything I can do to get him in there? I mean, I don't want him flying away or anything. Whats the best kind of harness for these kind of birds? One part ...

Peanut

WOW! Very pretty colors Ozzie has there

I love the blue featghers

Peanut

Does the IRN's eye color have anything to do with their sex? OUr IRN has a black pupil and ice-blue outer ring.

Peanut

our bird has started meowing also.. we don't have cats and the pet store our bird came from didn't sell cats... Its kinda funny---> He'll be sitting on my shoulder and all of a sudden you'll hear "ohhhh meow" Its really funny and he'll do it when you don't pay attention to him.

Peanut

So do you know when they go though their molts? Is it twice in their lifetime, or does it happen when their younger??? Sorry these questions are so silly, lol, but Im just curious

And don't worry Dani, my fingers are all still here...... for now

Peanut

Does anybody know how often IRN's molt? Since we've had him he hasn't moulted. He's been rubbing his beak on EVERYTHING and lets me rub it for him too, which he never did before-which is really cute! I also have a few more questions.... When I decide to go get a beak trim on my IRN, will it hurt him...

Peanut

When we got our IRN a month ago it was grey and turquise-green. Now it is changing to grey/green. How is this happening if our bird isn't growing any new feathers? It seems as though he is getting more green everyday, especially on his head and around his legs. If he is 9 months old, will he change ...

Peanut

Welcome! Post pics of your baby soon, cant wait to see them!

Peanut

Our IRN was the same way when we brought him home. I would try apples, grapes, kiwi, peanuts, sunflower seeds.... Thoses are some that my IRN just LOVES. I tried an apple, and he ate it right away. Just try a fruit and see what happens

Peanut

Yeah, we don't know if Peanut is a he or a she. I am thinking a he, but ya never know. Thats cute, yet funny at the same time. So your IRN is having an idenity crisis huh? Is she getting better with her "bitchiness"?

Peanut

What a cutie! VERY pretty colors

Peanut

Awww, what sweeties

Peanut

Your male IRN is very beautiful! The new one seems camera shy

lol, ours was the same way, but she'll come around

Peanut

Thats so cool! I was hoping it might be a boy Now I am so excited!!! hehe! It sure is getting way more vocal as well as turning more green everyday! Seems kind-of like a dare devil too. We hung a ladder from the top of its cage, and our IRN will swing back and forth on that thing like there's no tom...

Peanut

She kinda looks like one of those speckled jellybeans to me

VERY BEAUTIFUL!!!

Peanut

I have both a IRN and a cockateil, and the IRN tries to bite my other birds head off. Not sure why, because my cockateil is calm and nice. Personally, I would not put them in the same cage and give them their own space

Peanut

Is it normal for my IRN to be rubbing its beak on everything ALL the time? When we got it, it never really did it, but now it seems as though its an obsession.

Peanut

I would also say yes, it sounds like a good idea!

Peanut

Yeah, Peanut is only 9 months old now, so maybe its behaivor will change and maybe it'l actually like meatball someday. Im hoping so, so I can take them both out at the same time so they can play!

Peanut

wow, Jia is a really pretty bird

Peanut

weirdly enough, our two birds don't get along very well. We put the IRN next to the cockatiel and the IRN tried to bite our other birds head off!!! Our cockatiel is a female and we don't know Peanut's sex yet. Maybe thats why they don't get along. lol. Anyways, thanks for the reply with the pics! Ou...

Peanut

I was jsut wondering if I should get a DNA test done on my 9 month old IRN.... I want to know wether its a boy or a girl, but I don't want my IRN to go through a lot of pain. Do they feel a lot of pain when their nail gets clipped to short to get the test done? Will my baby be mad at me for taking i...

Can you all get to the link and see my pics???

Peanut

Yeah, I had put mango, starfruit, and apples in its dish a few times, and the apples were the first to go of corse. LOL. anyways, I noticed that some of the starfruit had been as well. Here in Minnesota, I unfortunatley cant grow oranges or starfruits, because they would all freeze. But thats cool t...

Peanut

We just got our first IRN a month ago. When we leave, we have been leaving the radio on or the tv on. I was laying on the bed next to our bird a week or so ago, and I noticed that it was trying to talk. It sounded like "What ya doing? Hi baby!" I was so excited! But if I was you I would try to leave...

Peanut

wow! Lots of good info there! Thankyou!

Peanut

Those videos were WAY cute! I wished my Peanut could clearly talk. LOL. He's starting to though! Hopefully soon I can post a video of him talking. Loved the videos!!!

Peanut

Yeah, I cant get it to work. I'll have to try again later. Thankyou for letting me know

Peanut

We just got our first IRN a month ago. We don't know if it is a boy or a girl yet. I noticed that our bird is getting some small, black, hair-like feathers going from its beak to its eye. Is this the IRN's sex coming out? I seen that boy IRN's have black there. Our IRN is only 9 months old now, I do...

Peanut

thanks for the info!

Peanut

Every morning I give my IRN cut up pieces of mango, starfruit, and apple. Is this ok to be doing? Can I try kiwi, grapes, bread??? Like what are some good things to try? I've tried giving him lettuce and tomatoes, but he doesn't touch them. I was just wondering whats good for your IRN and whats BAD!...

Peanut

Cant I just bring my birds to the vet for wing, nail, and beak trimming? What would the vet do besides that? Do they do an exam???

Peanut

I don't know anything about this, but do ALL birds have to have an identification bracelet? My cockatail has one, but she had it on there when we bought her. I just got my IRN a month ago, and he/she doesn't have one. Are we supposed to take our bird to the vet regularly or are we just supposed to d...

Peanut

Well, when we got my IRN it was like a grey/turquoise. We just got he/she a month ago, and now it is starting to get a little bit of green on the top of its head and around the feathers above its legs. I really want to know if its a boy or a girl, but its only 8 months old Oh well, only time will te...
