I'll get the results after xmas so fingers crossed till then.

Sorry about the glare but I had to share this. I dont think Gilbert was impressed with the camera today.

Just a lil angry! hehe Well he did get a big needle in his jugular yesterday.

We went to see the birdy doctor yesterday. Gilbert had a big needle. Vet rekons he may have liver problems. But we wont get blood test result back till christmas. Gilbert was very well behaved for the doctor except for a a lil nip he gave the vet after having a needle in his jugular. I also bought s...

Welcome, So glad you fell in love with an IRN they are truely beautiful birds.

aww he loves her! birdie love is strange!

Gilbert was doing that to his toy bell few months back. I dont think the bell was accepting his 'birdie love'.

Haha.. I swear in the first pic hes like 'Aww mummy I'm sowwy!' and then the second hes laughing at me! He loves to come and watch me clean up his 'poops'.

They always have to 'do their bussiness' in the most trickiest spot to clean! cheeky!

Thanx chickies, Ill give an update on friday. Its just not normal for Gilbert to be sleeping all day. And the sneezing. Its like he has sneezing fits and blows birdie boogers. Ive tried to keep a routine with him and he has heaps of vegies and good stuff. Ive even put vitamins in his water everyday....

OK.. Ive done it, Gilbert is going to the avian vet on friday. Hes not well. Sneezing ALOT and sleeping ALL day! Im worried he might have psittacosis. I suddenly had a fever the other day and I'm wondering if he might have passed some virus onto me. He likes to give me kisses and lick my face before...

The other day my partner was moving cords around the back of the t.v when he discovered a pile of poop covering his cords. He was not impressed. Gilbert found a spot to above the t.v ontop of the blinds. (he sometimes hides up there). Hanging his butt over the edge at the exact spot everytime. (I th...

I was worried about the smoke too. But there wasnt much I could do. I had the fan in the room on all day and tried offering them water all day. The fires were 300kms away but the city was so smoggy. I guess all you can do is shut all doors and windows (keep bad air out), air conditioning or fans run...

Oh the shame! Poor baby!

Gilberts lookin all stumpy now too with a bald head! New feathers coming through though. Thats a good idea.. picnic rugs!

Thanx for the tip Matt! Ill give it a go. Giant icypoles! YUM.. They didnt seem to be drinking water or eating yesterday. Spent all day sleeping up the top of the blinds.

Finally some relief.. only 22 today and windy! Hopefully the wind pushes the smoke away from Melbourne its been so hazy. Actually got to 42 yesterday. ouch! Gilbert and Yoda are up and about today after sleeping all weekend! Poor babies! I spent the weekend sick but making sure the birds are kept co...

damm make that 40 degrees today!

The last 2 days here in Melbourne has been 37 degrees (celsias), I have a sore throat (due to the bushfire smoke covering our city) and the aches and pains. We dont have air conditioning! I noticed Gilbert and Yoda were panting like a dog and are not very active today. So I've been keeping them cool...

Charlie is such a poser! Sooooo cute!

Hey chickies, was just wondering.. my Gilbert has taken a liking to cereal with milk. But he drinks the milk like its water! Is dairy ok for them? I try not to let him have too much. He begs me to share my brekky with him. As soon as the cereal box comes out, hes all over me looking in the box but w...

Hehe.. Cheeky lil buggas! I think your phones ringing mummy! hehe

It sounds like a 'Happy.. Gimme Gimme More!' sound but its hard to make out. Ive never heard a ringneck make that sound. Gilbert makes a weird sound when I share my food with him. I do the 'one for you and one for me.' I just thought he might be happy? But he doesnt sound like yours. Gilberts is mo...

Gilbert doesnt like hands either but steps onto my arm, try your arm? Gilbert will only step up if I have his bell. Its sort of become a habit. I once tried to coax him out with his beloved bell and now wants me to take his bell everymorning! He wont step up till I have it. Sits ontop of his cage tr...

My Gilbert used to wash his corn cob after he ate all the corn on it. Then hang it out to dry ontop of his water tray. Once it was all clean and dry he'd chuck it in his tub (bin) outside the cage for us to empty. (he would not let us touch it until it was dry!) weird bird, been watching us do the d...

All Yoda seems to want to do it take over Gilberts cage. Im looking into getting a bigger cage for Yoda. Gilbert has the bigger cage and more toys so maybe thats why? Yoda has also got a habit of growling at me whenever I give Gilbert food. He/she has one BIG attitude!

It could be just a moult, My Gilbert is moulting now has lost his tail feathers looking all scruffy and stumpy on the tail, but i'd watch Cricket's eating. She's active which is a GOOD thing! Keep an eye on the eating.

A few days after I got Yoda I clipped 5 flight feathers of each wing. He/she can fly about a metre off the ground and climbs the rest of the way. Mischievious lil bugga! Yoda is not afraid of anything which is good but bad for Gilbert.

Very Cheeky pics! I wish my two would play together like that!

Oh tell me bout it! Yoda has been a bit of a pain. Struttin around like he owns EVERYTHING! And now growling at me! hehe
Gilbert just lost that last long tail feather! Hes got a stumpy tail now .. aww

Sounds normal then! hehe.. but I just feel so sorry for my Gilbert. Hes a totally different bird now more submissive. Thismorning I was 'sharing' my breakfast (oats) with Gilbert and out of nowhere Yoda for the first time flew to me (yes me!) and sat there growling at us both! Yoda quickly got rid o...

The stand off! Grrr! Poor Gilbert has been booted from his own cage. They will just sit here peacefully until baby Yoda runs after Poor Gilbert.

I thinking of having separate play times for my bubs, Ive been running around picking Yoda up and away from Gilbert. Yoda has become quite the bully! I just dont understand why my Gilbert puts up with it. He got a tail 'bashing' yesterday. (yoda was eating and had its 'bottom' in tired Gilberts face...

Thanx Mik, it works! Ive had to do this SEVERAL times today as baby Yoda has 'stole' Gilberts cage!

Poor Gilbert can even have 2 minutes peace without Yoda chasing after him. Poor Gilbert!

Hello and Welcome! Its great to hear your expanding your knowledge on these beautiful and cheeky birds. There is no other bird like a Ringneck I say!

Hello and Welcome. Luee is a stunner! Ive been here a short while and have found heaps of great info on IRNs. Also good to see another fellow Aussie. People here are great and helpful. Male IRNs get their rings around 2 I think (not 100%) but close. Also differs from bird to bird. I cant remember wh...

Thats hilarious! Cheeky lil buggas arent they? Gilbert takes his corn and 'chucks' it on the floor to watch it bounce. And Yoda 'kicks' seed out like a dog by sitting in the seed tray and kicking one leg super fast! Havnt seen them 'chuck' their vegies yet though. I love seeing them have fun making ...

I can tell this is going to be frustrating. I need something Yoda wants but I havnt figured out yet what Yoda really wants. Gilberts bell has become a 'step up' help. He will only step up if I'm holding his bell. So first thing in the morning I unhook his bell and he automatically steps onto my arm....

Today baby Yoda put my Gilbert in his place. I put some vegies in a plate on the floor for them both. Gilbert went straight for the brocolli but Yoda ran behind the blinds. Yoda then waddled up to Gilbert, puffed up and gave Gilbert the evil eye and growled. Gilbert didnt seem to care and still ate ...

Hey chickies, I've had my baby Yoda for almost a week now and he/she seems fine walking around the house checking things out. But when I go to pick Yoda up, I say 'Up Up Up Yoda' and he/she will put one foot on my finger and hang onto anything else close by with its life! Even the carpet! I know its...

Oh Matt under 10 bucks where where where?

I'll try Robbo's Pet Barn over this way. I get a 5 kilo bag of seed there for 10. I've heard of Vetafarm down here but can't seem to find it.

I dont have a credit card to buy online.. those pieces of plastic are dangerous hope I never have one.

Haha.. the great debate over CHIPS.

Its all good munchin for birds! No matter what us 'humans' call them.

(dreaming of an Eccy)

He's ADORABLE! Just want to give him a big squishy cuddle!

Haha now whats a bird going to buy with some money? hmm Lollies! Peanuts? Soo cute.

Awww... Absolutely Gorgeous! Lou is a stunner!

Gotta love the bottle caps! hehe

Mik that is the funniest pic! Chips are SERIOUS business! Gilberts eyes pin while hes munchin down some chips and he starts chattering to them He's not stupid either.. Ive tried eating from a mug because he doesnt come and 'scab' if I drinking coffee. But he smells it and checks my cup to see if I'm...

Thanx heaps chickies.. Gilbert will start his ear peircing scream whenever Yoda is out of the cage and sitting on the new swing.. which I never said was just Gilberts! He needs to learn not everything is his. Whenever Yoda is eating something, Gilbert starts pacing up and down his cage (he does this...

Gilbert is a Greenie and Yoda is my Baby Blue

Thanx Mik, I just love the soft blue.. baby blue! Get one in every color. Heres some more pics.. Im so proud right now I cant stop taking pics! hehe Gilbert is playing with his new toys! and Yoda on new swing! http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n250/LaurenSpills/NewToys.jpg http://i114.photobucket.c...

Hey Chickies, Took some more of Yoda today. We clipped Yoda's wings today so I can pick he/she up now. My Gilbert doesnt have his wings clipped. He just comes to me when he wants a cuddle, puts himself to bed, and is also not too fussed about an open door. But I'm careful anyway! Yoda gave me the cu...

Do you have a WAREHOUSE in QLD?, I think its was SOLEYS up your way? I bought heaps of great toys, ropes, bells, ladders, swings.. and payed under 20 for it all! I want to make some toys for my bubs now sounds like fun!

Im in South East Melbourne Australia. But lived in Ayers Rock and Sunshine Coast QLD!

My Gilbert puts himself to bed around 8-9pm and starts screaming at me to get him out whenever he hears my partner get up for work around 7-8am.

Yes I do allow Gilbert on my shoulder. He likes to 'snuggle' under my chin and fall asleep. He loves to 'tickle' my ears by nibbling them. But if he bites he's off straight back to his cage and ignored for 5 -10 mins. He's getting the idea.
