Maybe I should have posted my parcels today instead of tomorrow, ho hum. Sanjays fruit jellies arrived today, banana, strawberry and mango, he has a banana one, and soon took a few nibbles.Weekends are when I tackle a good scrub, well, not a scrub exactly, a washdown with hot soapy water and the tra...

I'm not a breeder, so I don't know the drill, look at the eyes, because if they are black, you definitely have a baby, if orange, you can assume eight Weeks or more, in which case start offering solid foods, it took Sanjay a few Weeks to relax, but he didn't like hands near him (he was aviary hatche...

I fail to see how holding Joe public to ransom has ever helped a strike to succeed. These strikers should remember how easily they can be replaced, it's an employers dream, with so many people unemployed. The post office strike hasn't featured on the news yet. There's No way Sanjay would approach vi...

At that age your bird should be fully weaned, and needs fresh fruit and vegetables, not just seed.
Yes, they are very quiet when you first have them, as they need time to adjust and settle in.
No, generally they Don't like going to the base of the cage, preferring to sit and perch high up.

They sound too young to have left their breeder, Sanjay was 8 Weeks when I got him and he was eating solid food, so I really can't advise you on this, there may be answers somewhere else on these boards.

Little miss fickle!, my wallpaper isn't flock, thank goodness, but it is vinyl and has "glitter" in the pattern. Blueberry juice wouldn't show!. The back cover prevents a lot of mess, when he has passion fruit it catches the juice and seeds he shakes off his beak, stops it from getting on ...

Some owners shoulder ride their birds into the shower with them, others give them a bowl of shallow water to bath in, but I prefer the misting bottle method, to which I add a few drops of organic rosewater and glycerin to condition the skin and prevent scaly foot, sometimes I dry Sanjay with a warm,...

I had a pair of fischers lovebirds when I was stationed in Germany and they never talked, also, birds don't always talk if they have a mirror, However, on YouTube there are pairs of IRN's which talk so maybe there are exceptions. I'm not sure about celeriac, because IRN's prefer veg which has seeds,...

Well, I have a goose crown and a bottle of Tokay aside for the Solstice, also "Miss Saigon" DVD, and a nice thick paperback, just in case it's another "Sound of Music" type of fare on TV. I gave my back copies of Parrot mag to an Asian lady who works in Wilko's, as her son has re...

I had a hozelock pump sprayer years ago from a diy store, I think a lot of the things from NP etc are over priced, I've ordered a jar of jelly pots from a company called "Tweeters" parrot supplies, and it was substantially cheaper than the others. Sanjay isn't as close to the window with h...

The advice given on the Zoflora website re pets, actually comes from a qualified vet, and I always dilute it as per instructions, my drains get Jeyes Fluid. Santa will be bringing jelly pots for Sanjay, he hasn't had them for ages, and he loves them. Gave the cage a wipe down with flash gel water to...

What did you order from NP? The cuttle bone?, much cheaper if you go on amazon.co.uk. Where Do the weeks go?, Friday again, already, so tomorrow I will give the cage a thorough clean, and wash the covers, I've been diluting Zoflora disinfectant, according to their website it's perfectly safe to use ...

sanjays mummi

It's all rather sad, isn't it?, only having her company for a few hours. Our weather has been gloomy, heavy fog too, maybe it would help if your weather was the same. Sanjay is back on the pomegranate, he went off it for a while, I suddenly realised today just how big he is, I think that huge cage d...

It is quite obvious, to me, your bird was aviary hatched and reared by it's parents, as mine was. We are talking about a semi feral bird, and if you push it, your bird could literally die of fright. Firstly, Do Not attempt to touch or handle your bird, secondly Do Not let your bird out yet. Sanjay i...

Ago, when these flats were bedsits, there were gas fires, but in 91 when converted to flats, the gas fires were removed and CH installed, I love my little Halogen heater. In my bedroom, which was the "back parlour" in 1907, I still have part of a gas lamp pipe, in the wet room there is an ...

Obviously technophobes!

I try not to!, Sanjay loves papaya, the seeds are his favourite but he scoops the flesh into his beak too. I am tired of these dark evenings, the days are so short, roll on the Winter Solstice!, when I worked from home, and did the graveyard shift, I would finish at 5 am, then sleep until 1300 hrs, ...

When my late Mother I Law was in sheltered housing she had a fall, and rang her alarm for the warden, she lay there all weekend before she was found, the warden had left and the new one didn't start until the Monday when she was found, a key safe and mobile phone do a better job. Lidl had some purpl...

sanjays mummi

Yes, he can fly across his new cage, just short haul tho'. Sanjay likes soft dried and fresh figs, he dislikes dates, as do I, the cloying sweetness puts me off, the fresh ones on the vine are much nicer, but you must wait until they go translucent. There'd been a nasty pong in the communal hall for...

No, it wasn't a rumour, according to the nhs site pork gelatin Is in the MMR, Childs flu, and Shingles vaccinations, but there is a less effective alternative apparently. My cousin Helen is having an ancestry.com DNA test done, should be interesting. I gave the cage a thorough clean today and washed...

I have only just read this. Firstly, if they bond they will breed, will you be able to breed And work?.
Best get another male, keep them separate, in the same room, but separate cages and exercise, IRN's are much more independent than other parrot species, but eight hours is quite a long time.

sanjays mummi

Gosh! What a bizzy little person!. It happened again today, on to my arm for a few steps, then he tasted my flesh! I said "ow!" And he flew off. He never draws blood tho'. Re use are collecting the old cage on Dec 7th, I will give them a tenner towards the charity. They may get something f...

sanjays mummi

Isolating him would be a backward step, he needs his "flock" to interact with. Funnily enough, yesterday and today my bird climbed on to my arm when out of his cage!, yesterday he squawked and flew off again, today he tasted my skin!, I said "ow!" and he flew off, but after seven...

Sound amazing!, I've Never paid for publication (vanity publishing), just send a synopsis to a few publishers. Well, I think I've cracked it, our re use centre collects scrap metal, I contacted them and sent a pic, and it is looking positive, it won't cost me a penny!. Sanjay actually rode on my arm...

Corned need is filling, and I love corned beef hash. Your book?, I'm intrigued, as I am a published author/journalist myself. The council guy came, it will cost £55.00 quids+ 11quids VAT, because he said, it's a skip jobbie, but he also said they Will take the cardboard from the Liberta Voyager. The...

Sanjay prefers boiled chestnuts too. He's been nibbling little bits of bamboo blind, so from tomorrow on, the curtains will be closed, out of sight, out of mind. He didn't spend so much time outside today, And actually tasted banana!, he used to ignore it. It's set to be extremely cold tonight, so I...

Overhead light at 1.30? It must have been a dull day!, we had lovely sunshine. Did you know? When Silent Night was sung for the very first time, it was sung to Hans Grubers guitar, because the organ had packed up. I thought Sanjay would Never go indoors again!, he flew around for hours!, made my tea...

sanjays mummi

Well, yes, the chairman of our local parrot society said, it sounds like Sanjay was grabbed at some stage, she suggested putting my arm in the cage and waiting for him to perch on it, well, he is territorial!, only allows me in his cage when he is playing out and I am cleaning the interior. Otherwis...

I saw Gone With The Wind for the first time, at the Odeon, Hammersmith Broadway when I was about 12, with my mum. Now I have it on DVD, I love it!, of course the book was different, in the book Scarlett had three children including Bonnie. One, a boy called Wade Hampton Hamilton, by her first husban...

sanjays mummi

I agree. If his eyes are black he is definitely a baby chick. I got Sanjay at eight weeks, and he was only just getting used to proper food. I had to introduce all sorts of fresh fruit and veg, before he showed a preference for the ones he liked.

sanjays mummi

My bird is semi feral, aviary hatched and parent reared. I have found, you can only go so far, he isn't a hand sitter or shoulder rider, but that's ok with me, but he has his soppy moments, as long as I keep my hands off, as far as biting goes, only once, when I had just got him, and that was defini...

sanjays mummi

Parrots as a species are very fickle, love you one minute hate you the next, I don't know why this is. I can only suggest that when he "turns" you put him back in his cage for time out, when he is being affable, give him a treat. After all, you're going to look pretty silly with a sticking...

Ancestry.com charges a lot of money and cannot be that thorough, or Helen wouldn't be asking me questions!, more photos today and a copy of the 1901 census, all downloaded for printing, but I'm having them done on proper photography paper. My grandparents married two Weeks before Titanic sank, and a...

"the palace" was my nickname for the Liberta Raleigh, due to it's humungous size, his new home is a Liberta Voyager 2nd edition, What an amazing day, out of the blue a cousin once removed, granddaughter of my uncle bob, contacted me for information about my grandparents, she is on Ancestry...

sanjays mummi

As I explained, the Raleigh would never have gone through the doors, and it took several hours to dismantle and put outside, a couple of the screws had rusted in. The weather is still no better, goodness knows when the rain will cease!. I saw the wicker balls, but they wouldn't last five seconds onc...

sanjays mummi

There's a picture of his old cage, Liberta Raleigh in Parrots magazine, the cleaning article was a bit like teaching granny how to suck eggs, but he/she forgot to mention how dirty perches can cause eye infections when they wipe their beaks on them after eating. Tipped down all day here, too, shoppi...

Sanjays covers are simple black flat sheets from Primark, cotton. What heats your water if you don't have Central Heating?. I get instant hot water. Anyway, yes, the Voyager is a lot smaller, it's just a bit taller than me and I'm 5'5", and approx 3 to 4 ft wide, about a foot deep, the palace w...

Split rings are very handy little gizmo's, they have hundreds of uses. I did think of contacting a scrap metal dealer, but it's powder coated iron, so I wasn't sure. The love affair continues, he is so enamoured he doesn't go straight for his fresh rations anymore, but bizzies about the cage, playin...

Your bird has damaged it's beak, give it cuttlebone or calcium supplement, it will grow out over time, but a badly damaged beak needs veterinary attention. Your bird is nipping you because it is scared or angry at what you are doing.

sanjays mummi

Goodness no, it wouldn't have gone through the doors!, those two screws weren't screwed in too tight, they had rusted in! And now I have doubts that it was a genuine Liberta, the boxes said it was, but it didn't have a certificate, or little Liberta "badge" on ths cage, the bars were thinn...

sanjays mummi

Phew! Four Hours!, some of the screw holes were devils to line up, Sanjay had fun exploring his new abode, and the space!, goodness, the palace took up a lot of room, at the moment himself is happily ensconced, he had trouble sussing out his new coop cups, the palace is a problem, daddi screwed in a...

Maybe she has gremlins, because I have, guess what? My boiler died again today, the circuit board melted, the guy begged his boss for a new one, but No, it's costing more to repair than what a new one would cost!. The good news is Sanjays new cage and cover are being delivered tomorrow by an overnig...

Yes, definitely!, although the cage Shouldn't make much difference, she is annoyed at the recent changes, and parrots Do tend to bite out of fear,, Put her in her cage, let her cool her heels and settle down, but don't ignore her, get her into a routine, for cage cleaning and bedtime covering. She w...

All sanjays perches are wood with the exception of two plastic and two small toenail file ones, I take them all out at least once a month and soak them in soapy water and rinse them in very very diluted lemon juice water, then I dry with kitchen towel and pop them on a radiator to dry thoroughly.

Sanjay was aviary hatched and parent reared, I got him at 8 Weeks old, he is now seven years old, why are you trying to spoon feed your chickster?, he/she should be fully weaned as Sanjay was when I got him.

Wilko usually has bundles of willow twigs. I have found the liberta voyager 2nd generation online, Fifty pounds cheaper than NP!, I got their catalogue today.

Good idea, I use my nylon "feather" duster to keep my little minky off things. Glorious weather here, always is on Armistice Sunday. Favorite is the American spelling, I believe, like center, color, and behavior. Well, look what they did to the Cocker Spaniel! #-o I had a very silly reply ...

It is Not stressful!, birds need darkness and security at night, I use a cotton cover, and air circulates through it. My bird is seven years old, I have covered him since he was 8 Weeks, and he now signals to me when he is ready for bed!. Please do some research,
