Thats pretty clever.Well done

julie

Great pics thanks for sharing. I cant stop laughing cause I have a photo of my hubby and daughter sitting in a plane like that at movie world.

julie

oh dear

we learn something new everyday.

julie

It depends what noises they hear at the breeders house too.some dont hear normal birdie sounds but rather more human sounds.You may also find that they make noises when they think no one is home or you are in another room ect. They are very food driven so if you sit around and eat something out of a...

julie

They will most likely come in when he moults.

julie

NO NO NO . let the bird come out of the room by itself.If you go in after it with the towel its going to freak and flap around and break stuff and possibly get injured.

julie

try turning the lights off and just have the tv on.I just had the thought of oh crap mine are still out and looked around the room to see all 4 have gone back in and i just have to shut their doors. All the good stuff happens out of the cage and they know whats going to happen,I think they are prett...

julie

No they are pure indians.Look up pallids,white head/white tail ect. have a bit of a read through these links.

here is some links

also try thickening the formula up and feed in the morning and put the fruit veg and whatever else you want him/her to eat out where it can be seen and tasted.The thickened formula will keep him full longer and lessen off the hand feeding.

julie

I give my handraised birds fruit and veg mixed into the formula from the start to encourage different tastes.Sometimes its just plain apple other times its apple/mango with formula mixed in,sometimes its sweet corn/sweet potato with formula mixed in. I also have the bubs in like a play pen on the fl...

julie

marmalade sounds just like my 1yr old pinky(hes blue too). I have said a few times that they are like kids and go through cheeky stages. its like a game to them,your lucky if your not getting bitten then I think marmalade is just testing your patience.

julie

the pic thing will be because it needs to go through a hosting site.I use dropbox cause its easy to drag the pics over and drop it on the box and then it uploads to the hosting site,from there copy and paste the url to this site. With these birds its hard to tell how old or what sex until they are o...

julie

I would say old age.Sorry for your loss.

julie

please dont put the wild baby bird near him it may have diseases,mites ect that will make him very sick.

julie

Im not sure if this will help at all but here is a thread with cinnamon line birds,there is a few others but i get distracted and end up looking at other things (bit like looking at youtbe) . http://www.indianringneck.com/forum/vie ... 121#p55121

julie

who are you talking to?

julie

STOP POSTING IN THESE THREADS

julie

I had the same issue last year, I was taking the little one out giving it a feed and then putting it back in for mum. If she is byherself i would probably top the rest up occassionally too to help the hen out.

julie

julie

yep one of my aviary hens talks like the little old lady next door,she also barks. Hello seems to be easy for them to pick up.She may talk when she thinks no one is around.

julie

Have they got a good stable pirch? I feed mine a lot of different fruits and veg aswell as seeds at breeding season,they get fruit ect all year but they get a lot more at breeding season.High calcium foods are good to help with egg laying.

julie

please stop posting in these threads as now I have to remove your posts after I have deleted the original poster.

julie

if you cant do dna then you will have to take a chance.

julie

Yer its possible but try and stop them if you can, Not the best idea! But mind you an IRN with orange cheeks and a mow hawk would look pretty good. Ta Glenn What else could they cross breed with? That's hilarious! :lol: Laurens going to kill me :D :D Im sure they would try with anything :o http://w...

julie

Yes if he wants to eat it.Are you from Wagga?

julie

The male makes sure its safe for a while first.

julie

It also helps to touch their toenails and their wings,pretty muchly try to get them used to being touched the way they will when they are older.It sounds like you are doing a great job with them

julie

I had my bubs in a puppy pen that I made into a bird safe cage,i made it so that i could take the roof off and they could learn to fly safely. When they started learning to fly they could climb up the cage and flap their wings as they went and then by the time they managed to reach the top their win...

julie

Is the hen doing ok feeding them by herself? I have a single hen who has laid and is very protective of her clutch and was thinking about swapping one of her infertile eggs for a fertile one from the pair I have but im worried she wont be able to feed it by herself. she was a fantastic mother last y...

julie

Thats good news that she is feeding them,she may just need a break from them. Is it possibly an egg that was originally from the box that is on the ground? I found 1 egg on the aviary floor and then she laid 4 in the box. Are you planning on handraising the bubs? if so i would start getting everythi...

julie

maybe try getting your hubby to give her treats.I couldnt work out why my boy indie went from coming to me to going to my hubby and I caught him sneaking him treats, i started doing the same and then he went to both of us but after having him for 8 years he is definately my hubbys boy but has no pro...

julie

Did you find the info you were after? I came across jays pics when I was looking for crop pics.

julie

another thread with some ages
http://www.indianringneck.com/forum/vie ... f=5&t=4079

julie

are you able to have a look in and see if the chicks have been getting fed? you should be able to see food in their crops.

julie

My irns dont do this but my female quaker does similar,she puffs,runs and then taps her beak on our foreheads and makes a purring noise and sometimes squeals like she expects to hear it from us. Its up to you if you want to stop her from doing it, but as long as she isnt bitting I think its her way ...

julie

Here is a thread with some youngens http://www.indianringneck.com/forum/vie ... 26&t=13471 you could also check out some of the breeders pics of their babies.

julie

sorry for your loss. My lot are all cage breakers but thankfully they all get along and actually went into the other ones cages (opened the doors and went in to visit). I did however have a hen who killed the other two hens that were in the same aviary,sometimes we get birds like that and have to ke...

julie

need pics to tell.

julie

ours ended up in the same cage by doing what ellie said and they would go off into the other ones cage by themself .Sometimes we would come out in the morning and one had let itself out and gone into the other ones cage,we ended up saying bugger it they can stay in the same cage.But it also depends ...

julie

Not good,Sorry for your loss. I have found a hen dead in the box before,not sure what happened but I did find a red back behind the box.

julie

Its sounds like how my birds acted when our snake got out,we couldnt see where the snake was but the birds knew he was there.Its a good thing you were there to save him,that will definately be a bond strengthener.

julie

Thats great news. see why we said patience and time and work. Keep working with them and they will get there.

julie

The amount of feathers they loose with a big one ,some people including me have thought we were going to see a dead bird somewhere.They loose that much its scary, but when they finish the molt the feathers come in all nice and shiny and they look so good.

julie

I think you may need to be the one to give him some treats,something like a lolly or a chip (something naughty that no one else should be giving him).I have had my boy indie for almost 9 years and he still lunges sometimes when we go near his cage.Some people say you shouldnt acknowledge them when t...

julie

yep it looks like a mild molt.Wait till barry has a full big molt and you will think he is neglected.

julie

sounds like a turquise.

julie

Thats great news :D I have a 1yr old that now talks in front of us,before that he/she would talk when he thought we werent there. We must talk a lot in my house because all mine start early and the youngens started mumbling from around 4 months.I talk to mine like I talk to people and say the same t...

julie

I give mine corn on the cob plus whatever other veg I have and paw paw plus other fruits.There is a calcium supplement that can go in the water.Egg and biscuit mix is good too.

julie

Mine have seed and pellets aswell as fruit,veg and sometimes they steal the bunnies grass. They also get the occassional lolly,chip or biscuits. Just keep it in moderation.
