That is GREAT!!!
Well done Trivi.

pinkdevil

That is so cool.

pinkdevil

How is the toe tapping going now???

pinkdevil

Is there another vet where you can get a second opinion and examination? Bobbing tail when breathing and wheezing is not a good sign. Can you place him somewhere warm? My vet told me when birds are ill, they need heat to help the healing process as a lot of their energy goes into keeping warm and ha...

pinkdevil

Good luck!

pinkdevil

Hi, congrats on your eggs! :D Fingers crossed you get bubbies. I guess it depends on the time the eggs are laid and when you saw them. The hen could have laid the first egg not long before you checked and the others just after you checked. Not all birds are the same so if she appears to be happy, he...

pinkdevil

I feed my ringnecks fruit & veg, pellets and good quality seed mix designed for birds. I do not think bread is very healthy for them to be fed on a daily basis though. There is sections on the forum about good and bad food you can feed birds. He could be quiet as he may still be settling in to a...

pinkdevil

Oh nooooooooooo Bec.

So very sorry.

pinkdevil

Thanks Bec.....awww at Bipo :( Don't let that cute little face fool you. She is a very cunning cat and will turn on you in a dime if you dare be so bold and walk PAST her when she is trying to take a nap or relaxing. If not instant punishment by attacking, she will remember that moment and payback I...

pinkdevil

Hi and welcome to the forum. :) My birds are quiet when I am near or playing with them. Sometimes they will make 'coo' noises when I pet them but mostly quiet. They do, however, make plenty of noise at different times of the day when I am quiet or not in sight. Especially as all my indoor birds are ...

pinkdevil

That is a cool idea, Elivia. I do not know if there is such a thing though. Would be perfect way to keep tabs on where the bird is.

pinkdevil

I have never owned a Quaker but have heard they have similar personalities to a lorikeet as in playful etc. But I do have ringies :lol: :D :D :D I think IRNs are wonderful, intelligent, elegant birds. As they do not seem to be the cuddliest of birds, (there are always exception to the rules though),...

pinkdevil

Beautiful little baby. I have only seen these birds in books and their vibrant colouring really catches my eye. Congrats on the little one.

Here is a thread on hand raising...

Just click on the blue words to take you to the pages.

A few people have had success in training their birds to accept a harness. I guess it is a good idea if you would like to keep your bird unclipped but still want to take him/her outside. There are a couple of people in my town that walk around with their bird on their shoulder. I think the bird woul...

pinkdevil

Hi, I have read under right conditions, IRNs can live up to 30 yrs, (even reported cases of 50! :shock: ), but average life span is around 25-30yrs. There have been plenty of other members who have successfully tamed or quietened down a aviary bred ringie with food results, it you do a search you mi...

pinkdevil

Thanx

Voting ends next month sometime I think.

pinkdevil

Thanks both of you.

pinkdevil

aawwwww....cool lol
Gots a long way to go to even make it close to the others lol

You can vote once every day for the same pic to.

pinkdevil

No help with the mutation sorry, but he is very nice and has a beautiful red beak. :) As for the nail chewing, I don't really think the length of nails would be of concern. I never have trimmed any of my birds nails. They do have natural perches and not those dowel or rope ones though, (not sure wha...

Hello everyone,

Was wondering if you could follow the link below and vote for my cat, Freebee.
I had forgotten I had entered her in the competition so she is a few thousand votes behind, (sorry Free

) lol

Thanks

pinkdevil

OMG....congrats!!!!! Happy for you. :D :D :D :D I guess when ya gotta lay and egg, ya gotta lay an egg. :lol: The move probably did stress them out but the egg would have already been developing so can't stop production mid way :P :lol: :lol: :lol: Hope there are a few more to come. Keep us updated.

pinkdevil

Once a bird has developed the ring fully, it is hard to guess an age. So anywhere from 3 yrs +...sorry can't be more precise.

If Puli is developing a ring, he would be between 2-3 years of age, possibly around 2.5yrs old.

pinkdevil

Sounds like you have another boy to me.

If they have been getting along fine together then why not keep them both? Unless you are wanting to breed?
I know people who have kept male ringies together with no probs. Just depends on each bird.

pinkdevil

Hello and welcome.

pinkdevil

Hi Jayjay, welcome.

Haha, very hard to part with the little devils, isn't it!

pinkdevil

Welcome.
Your new baby looks very sweet. Love the baby look, very cute.

pinkdevil

I have a pet bird that is housed in the aviary. She bred last year but eggs were duds, her first time.
Other members have pet indoor birds who have bred.

pinkdevil

lol I just stick with the four legged and feathery kids. Much easier to handle.

pinkdevil

I get my partners parents to come and feed/water/check my birds when we go away. I have too many birds to take to their house and the birds know these surroundings. If I only had one or two, I would possibly consider taking them to the birdysitters place. That way the birds would have more interacti...

pinkdevil

Congrats on the eggies. :D :D It depends on how many eggs she will lay. If there are more eggs to come, she may not be ready to sit full time them. When one of my hens lays 5 eggs, she doesn't begin to sit tight until the 3rd or 4th egg. How deep is the nestbox. The deeper the nest the less effort t...

pinkdevil

Just hope there is something in there that will work for you and Indy.

pinkdevil

You should be able to find clickers at Kmart or Big W in the pet section, or pet shops. If not on line will defo have them. You can really use anything with a good 'click' sound to it. I have heard of some people using a pen with the clicky thing that they have on them. Really, anything with a sharp...

pinkdevil

Oh wow, just look at their very full tummies!

Well done and congrats.

pinkdevil

I replied to some of your questions in your other post. :) I really think the bluffing stage lasts as long as we 'allow' it from how we react and things we do. Just because one technique works for one bird, does not necessarily mean it will work for another. Animals are great at picking up our vibes...

pinkdevil

Hi almost neighbour. :D Firstly, I would NOT allow her to be sitting on the shoulder. Especially at this point and time of biting. By Indy being on your shoulder, in her head she is a higher rank than you, making her the boss and you the slave. :roll: :lol: If you look at pecking order in animals, t...

pinkdevil

If you do not like the idea of making a bird totally flightless through clipping, then you could just clip a couple of flight feathers on each wing so the bird can still fly with extra effort and not gain too much height. Depending on what result you are after and on the bird, you may only need to t...

pinkdevil

hahaha.....there's the typical "what, I am not up to anything" look of a ringie in the last pic.

pinkdevil

Yes, usually around that age. There have been cases of earlier & later but not as common.

pinkdevil

Hi Featherz welcome.

It is good to see another IRN lover, poor birds have such a bad reputation

What colour is your ringie?

pinkdevil

Hi justjohn. I am not sure just how much 15grms of seed would be. I give my birds just under 1/4 cup of seed and they get fresh seed when most or all is eaten. This encourages them to eat their less favourite seeds instead of always picking out the best bits and leaving the rest. If it looks like yo...

pinkdevil

lol yep A D D I C T E D!!!!

Do what I do, when you run out of room in one area, take over the next available space.

pinkdevil

Congrats on your 2 healthy bubs.
It is a great feeling seeing them take their first, albeit awkward, flight.

pinkdevil

Oooo....very nice.

pinkdevil

There are a few people with the same name on FB.

I am Tasha Stone and my pic (for the moment) is of my African Grey with his beak open if anyone would like to request me.

pinkdevil

awwww....looks so sweet and innocent.

pinkdevil

G'day Tya & brood.

What colour are your feathered babies?

There is a lot of info on here on just about everything to do with ringies, (and birds).

Waiting (im)patiently for the pics!

pinkdevil

Thanks....I will have to change my siggy....a few more to add lol

pinkdevil

Hi and welcome to the ringneck addiction forum

Both your birds are beautiful....Abby looks so baby like it the pic and Kaiser looks just like my aviary grey man.

pinkdevil

If you are having success with strawberry then use that. Each ringie has their own fav food and sometimes their favourite treat taste changes. Whatever you do use as a positive reward, only give as a reward, not as part of their daily diet. By only giving as a reward encourages your bird to do as as...
