Without it, no reason to live... some try but it doesnt come out as meant

They should HALT! Cease and desist!

A smart **** is born, not created.

Mikaela

Awww!

Thank you for sharing your flock and home with us. Welcome and I hope you have a great time here.

Mikaela

I love a smart ****. I really do. Read the text as its meant... I love witty, smart **** people.

Mikaela

Baby is getting bullied by Buddy pretty good right now too. He isnt pouty, more alert... I would say. I am now MAKING them share a stand beause Buddy is mean and bites other birds. Hard. My birds have sense enough to flee than to fight so when one flees the perch... right back up like nothing happen...

Mikaela

There eyes are saying:

Im Alpha!

No, Im Alpha... dont try me!

Mikaela

Poor Gilbert, I bet he is MEAN by now... lack of sleep makes my babies hateful. Like Katey said... can you leave him out? See how that works? None of my babies ever see cages so I dont know how others homes are set up. If all else fails, AND LAST RESORT, we might actually have to cover half of his c...

Mikaela

Er, the metric system. They should teach us that in school. I made my children learn it because I believe we will go to the metric system in their lifetime. Mine probably. m m Makes things a lot easier and mistakes and misunderstandings fewer. Downside, American's have to learn the metric system... ...

Mikaela

Its cute how USA and Aussie is backwards. When our birds look great ya'lls are moulting.

When your birds are breeding, we are waiting for the next batch!

Mikaela

Lanai (without the okina) is the Hawaiian word for a porch or balcony.

Mikaela

I love them! Thank you! You just made our flock that much nicer!

Mikaela

Yes Topaz... I sure will. Now mind you, he is a scared bird I have only had about a month but he has come around enough: A: not to flee from me B to learn step up and some speech. He steps up very clumsy though because this is entirely new to him. He thinks he must flutter up, bless his heart. He'll...

Mikaela

He is saying 'Pretty Boy' but his voice is odd, huh? MANLY

Baby sounds exactly like me. Exactly. I hear it now that I have my Buddy.

Thank you, I love him so much. He and I are both very happy together!

Mikaela

Baby has never known flight so he doesnt care and is very agile. Buddy was always with flight until he came here. He still squats to take off them remembers, poor thing. He is a lot more clumsy than he should be... bet its because he is getting use to being trimmed. He is so precious stepping up... ...

Mikaela

He wants to let everyone know they are Pretty Birds and give you kisses!

He has sure come along way from the scared, frantic bird we once knew... huh Sue. He is so happy!

Mikaela

Im after a pewter/bluish gray! You know... that unique color.

I need to start hunting though. Might wait til next mating season.

Then my flock will be complete.

Mikaela

Baby has had a camera in his face since day 1. He actually loves picture time. Buddy, not so much... he tends to want to look away from the camera too.

Maybe the more they get snapped the more use to it they get, Baby gets all excited.

Hes such a dork, really is.

Mikaela

Yep PSchick... thats it!

See, thats how I am... there are no stupid questions, only stupid people left dumb for not having asked. I ask some really stupid questions but with eyes wide open and free of shame.

Mikaela

Good to make the info known but remember your pets, your home, your decision, this board is full of individuals with individual opinions on how to train/feed/breed/raise IRN. However each person makes their own choice on all things and no one has the right to say you're wrong. Facts are facts such ...

Mikaela

Amen to that sista (sue)

Mikaela

I love him so much Girl! His color is to die for. When I walked in that day and saw him for the first time, I couldnt believe it. Males look REALLY good after 3 years. And he is stepping up and everything! He flaps when he does it but he tries... and gets the job done! Are your birds REAL good about...

Mikaela

Both of my boys make like a whimpering sound but they are content so I suppose it just 'sounds' sad to us because we are programmed to think a whimper to mean pain, physical or emotional. Not the case with my fids, Baby especially, who is a big talker. He goes into the whimpering/napping trance stat...

Mikaela

Hey Bridget! Welcome

Whats your birds name? Do you know yet if s/he is male or female?

Mikaela

It doesnt even take a scratch... a kitty's saliva will kill a bird.

Its nature, God made it that way. Birds are suppose to be eaten by cats so the saliva helps in the actual kill.

Mikaela

My babies probably would too if the cages werent outside. Thats only when they are caged, when I let them play on the screen lania.

I know those beaks would go right through screen so they have to go in their cages if outside and I have to bolt.

Mikaela

We are all one big happy flock... even hubby came around and joined the fun!

He was OUT on the whole bird thing until he realized being out on it would get him put OUT.

I cant make him love birds but I can sure make him pretend.

Mikaela

Although each of my birds own cages, none of them ever go into them. Ever. My home is bird proof and lacking of cats and dogs. I have never once came home and found them off the stand... not even Baby and he is nothing but trouble. Mine are either on the living room stand or bedroom stand, wherever ...

Mikaela

Search our member list... a lot of folks from your area. PM them asking if they know of breeders.

Mikaela

Gloves?

Uhm, no... thats not going to work with an IRN.

They will hate and distrust you for life. It takes very little to make them freak out and turn from you. Gloves are a certain way to ensure that happens.

Mikaela

It's actually kindof funny to watch this little bird chase around my 110 lb husky. Hope this gives you a little hope. Ringnecks aren't naturaly social birds. In the quote above I just have to shake my head. There's an accident waiting to happen there. You should never let your bird around the dogs ...

Mikaela

If you want an active, 2 yr old that never grows up, the ringneck is for you! Because of ringnecks personalities and owners personalities, I cant tell you if an IRN will work for you. So, I'll tell you what I know so you can decide. We all work a lot, they do fine alone as long as we make up for it ...

Mikaela

I have seasonal depression, associated with lack of sunlight and warmth. m Mine was so bad, I lived every day of my life in a way that got me one step closer to Florida. I finally made it and generally, all is well. However, the first few weeks after daylight savings ends (dark by 7 pm) my anxiety i...

Mikaela

We make all of our stands. They love them because we personalize them to how they play. We have accidently sold quiet a few here (at 100.00, gave them away but we had to make up the difference in materials or I would build them free.) I have bunches of fids... not just one. This is Buddy, my new fid...

Mikaela

It usually means they are:

A: Stressed; Freaked out, scared. New environment, for example.

B: Not feeling well, if it goes on for any amount of time or is with sneezing or runny nose... vet time for sure.

C: Poor cage placement. They shouldnt be anywhere near vents. They like it toasty.

Mikaela

Here are some pics of my 'Buddy' getting tucked in for the night. I have had him about a month and he is now stepping up, not fleeing and seems to be very happy! Tomorrow, I am going to video him stepping up. Its hilarious! He flaps like a freako then UP! haha He understands the command and what to ...

Mikaela

I'd love nothing more. And that isnt a joke.

Americans arent always the most loving of peoples.

That can be said of all cultures though.

Mikaela

Our aussies will be along soon to help! Congrats on the new baby! Does your baby seem 'ok'? No watery eyes, sneezing, food issues? Those are usually first indicators of sickness. Otherwise, a good check up is never a bad thing. Let me look... someone was talking about vet prices the other day... may...

Mikaela

Welcome Hun:

Thank you for sharing your story with us. We want pics!

Mikaela

Welcome!

Im in Inverness all the time (thru there). We do a lot of work in Bushnell.

Huge place... everyone must see it! -giggle-

I want to live in those parts

Too damn mean and busy around here.

Mikaela

Yes! I have two males and they can get those eyes to popping and those feathers raised and Im like whoa!

Evil, excellent word to describe it... especially with my Lutino!

Mikaela

PSchick... Love your sig. From here on out you will be known as my

"smack dat bitch up" girl.

My muscle, right hand man.

PS! SICK UM GIRL!

Mikaela

Uhm. Very pretty bird but shave that avatar down to no more than a little over 80x80.

It must be that size or it throws the entire board to the right. Please resize today.

Thank you for sharing your baby! We love pics!

Mikaela

Any light is good light on our babies! Thank you!

That Gilbert... one of my favs.

Mikaela

Baby has a pretty good red spot on the back of his neck but the black just doesnt want to start!

He is little too, my baby... very thin. Worries me but he eats all the time, just is never still.

My baby is 6 and has lost 2

Mikaela

OMG Your a dude! Dude! I am SO sorry! If I dont use my real name on line people take me for male. Dude, lol, for real... I am very sorry. Your just sooo uhm, nice. I dont know why I assumed you female but I honestly do apologize. It isnt you... we just form ideas about people by their text. I was go...

Mikaela

Sue... boat rope. Its awesome! They love it because the harder they chew the less results they see so they chew harder. Not even a ringneck can get through boat rope so its very safe... no fraying to hang a beak or talon in. Plus, comes in bunches of different sizes and colors. Refer to my stands, t...

Mikaela

Lisa:

I just looked at Tiki again really good. He is far more 'ringed out' than Baby.

Baby will be 2 in May (Mother's Day). When was Tiki 'born'? Baby seems behind... I thought they were about the same age.

Mikaela

Hun: That is very shocking news. I very much understand what you are going through as my home was robbed clean on Christmas Eve. They left my babies though, amen. Hun, are you saying the birds were in the apartment? Seems like a stupid question but I am left wondering about it. Big warm digital hugs...
