Sorry it took so long to reply l have only just found your post. Diet is crucial, keep her off sugary items and reduce the proteins can you give any more details about her behaviour, is she egg laying yet?

AJPeter

I tried my Alexandrine parrot with bird sounds she thought l had got another parrot and attacked me, so l stopped playing the bird sounds. They are like children at bed times, once my hen refused to go to bed all night so as l sleep in a different room l left her to think about it, but in the mornin...

Could not find lady with Hormonal parrot on Introduce yourself do you want to borrow my specs?

AJPeter

WElcome, you wil find a wealth of helpful advice here, just let your get used to you her way.

AJPeter

You need to read more on this site but sit next to the cage, eat your meals next to the cage and talk all the time but DO NOT try and get the bird to respond to you, let your bird go at his own pace.

AJPeter

Welcome to the IRN.com hope find happy answers and your ideal male IRN, but l live too far away.

AJPeter

It is bad news no one responded to your question, do you still need help?

AJPeter

Vegetables are good for birds too but like children my parrot refuses to them but she will try some from time to time. Apples are a safe bet, and my hen adores pears, it is trial and error a little and often.

What photo's? Billie takes ages to wake up, l go into the LR and say Good morning Billie, several times. No answer is the stern reply after the third or fourth Good morning l hear movement she does not like to be caught on her sleeping perch but goes down to guard the bottom of the cage. I ordered a...

Get up early on Sunday, when l put Billie to bed at 5 pm tonight l said Goodnight Billie and she grunted and tweeted which is a first. But she is a pain when she wants me to play with her she pulls tufts out of the carpet and scratches. Parrots is out, some interesting articles 'Hard core aggression...

Excavated? :-o No, my grandparents lived in Buckleberry in Bucks where else, l spent many a happy month on Leonards farm, they sent me out to the privy to warm up the seat for the farmer! It was my job to feed the chickens and my favourite l called Matilda but l was too young to understand the pecki...

I have a veg bowl and a fruit bowl for my bird but she does not touch the veg bowls so now l mix it all together and let her pick out what she wants.

AJPeter

I am blessed here several of my neighbours will take parcels in, even Emma! Talking of here reminds me she worked 4 days last week and then had Friday off, l want to see here working this week other wise l shall have to chide her about losing her job so quickly, the job centre arranged it for her.

You need to make friends with your bird they are very social animals and enjoy sharing meal times, let you bird settle down before you let it out. Sit with it ,eat your meals near the cage watch TV near the cage all the time talk your bird. Do not go too fast read more on this site, my bird does not...

I know the feeling, at least we have a land lord who tries to do something about noise although it does take time, however a timely reminder to tenant that they are not the only ones sharing the house does not go amiss, Friday night about 11.30 l could hear Emma and her friends sounded like two male...

That is the problem with living downstairs couriers knock on your door, we have 20 flats here and flat 15 gets all the post stupid postmen cannot deliver as our common house number is 15! Good advice! I wish newbies would read more but who am l to complain? I made the same mistakes by crashing onto ...

I have never liked vinegar, even salad cream is revolting, pickled onion? :ymsick: Big clean up today Moved Billie's cage to the other side of the room and she has been very well behaved today, not like down stairs the job was pretty short lived unless it is part time Emma always seems to have diffe...

Since l came off my diet l have put on 8 lbs! Must do better! ~x( Had my dinner early and then put Billie away at 6 pm which is late for her, had an awful time trying to sort out the cover, first it was back to front then it got caught under the wheels then it got soak in Billie's bath but eventuall...

AJPeter

You are doing very well just do not rush things go at her pace and you will have a wonderful friend.

AJPeter

It takes a lot of time and patience to help a young bird settle down, read all you can on our site you will find all the info you need, but sit by his cage with the cage door open, eat your meals in front of him gradually he will settle down and even come out but you must be patient.

AJPeter

Yesterday l was in jeans but today it is colder so l am wearing my flannels and long johns, Billie either scratches the carpet or bites junks out of it, it I it is an old carpet so l am not worried but she makes an awful mess! One of her rope toys gave up the ghost so l cannibalized it to add to ano...

AJPeter

Yes you are expecting too much, first Indie has to grieve for the people who looked after her, and then she has to adjust to a new routine, all you can do is spend time sitting next to the cage leave her door open and eat your meals by the cage curiosity will drive her out let her come to you. Try n...

AJPeter

Billie gets like Sanjay when she is hormonal she will kill me if l touch something she thinks is a nesting site. At the moment l am trying to stop her ripping up the carpet, scratching and bite, she is quite content for me to shoo her way with my hand, and is more than willing to chase a toy across ...

AJPeter

A strange thing happened this morning, Billie flew directly to my shoulder but moved down and sat on my arm as l was watching TV, she did not want to be stroked every time I lifted my hand to stroke her she moved her head away, since it was still some time before l went shopping so l just sat there,...

AJPeter

We have the same problem, the surveyor came to look at the upstairs flat next door, and I managed to catch him to look at my door frame he thought the repair was good enough to hold if the door if it were kicked but said they should have filled in and dealt with the rough bits, but l may have to wai...

AJPeter

Boo! Yes poor Billie! She seems better disposed, its just lettering her settle down after the hormones caused all the problems. I kept her locked in while I went to church, but let her out as soon as l got back. Leaving her cage wide open helps her to settle down. How is Sanjay? In spring a young bi...

AJPeter

Sky pets had quite a good range of cages, but I did look too far. Billie has been better behaved these last couple of days she is in her cage noshing first her seed bowl and then the fruit bowl and then back to the seed bowl. What a life! Not out of the woods yet but as each day goes by with out an ...

AJPeter

Check the internet for Dummy eggs.inc, and Amazon sell them they are not very expensive. If your hen is sitting on them that could mean all she is going to lay, give her at least 28 days, but they will start to stink well before then one way is to boil her eggs and give them back to her cold that st...

AJPeter

If you train the stomach to eat small portions then the Weight Watcher meals are just right. The cage cover has Sky Pet Products embroidered on it but l visited their site and found an awful miss match! Billie is very happy, she is slightly less hormonal every day and today she has spent less time s...

OOps! It should have been Commit2bfit'co.uk sorry

Are you keeping a weight loss Diary? I found recording my weight on commit2lose.com a good way to record my waist and weight weekly, how much are you hoping to lose? 2lbs is excessive I found two oz's a week was a good target. I do my big clean on Fridays, Gosh Billie has gone back into her cage on ...

AJPeter

Billie gets impatient too she bangs her bell and babble ball which hang up together. She wants to come out but is constantly scratching the carpet which l do not think is a good sign. When does come out l get her to chase across the carpet first one way and then the other after a toy on a stick, she...

AJPeter

I say "I do not give to beggars". But l must admit to giving an accordion player a fiver for his efforts the other day in town. Billie is really cheese off she wants to get down on the carpet and scratch but I won't let her instead l dangle on of her toys first to the left and then to the ...

AJPeter

The new cage did stop her in her tracks, but she laid two in the new cage. Just have to wait and see what happens. Nothing has come, keep sending.

At Dorothy Gardens they are maintained for us basically the grass is cut, shrubs pruned, but the gardeners do not plant any bulbs, walking around the park shrubs are flowering, the daffs are out and somebody has been and pulled them out and just dumped the flowers it happens each year especially aro...

Dieting is easy, but when you get down to your desired weight keep it off is really hard. I am struggling 12 stone 4 was my best but last week it was 12 12, 38 " Waist is not too bad, Was 52"! Don't over do it, I have just thought that instead of grabbing Billie and trying to weigh her on ...

AJPeter

People come expecting a miracle cure and when they don't get they get all huffy and we never hear from them again, l was wondering whether Ms Sanjay would mind if l moved in? I quite like the sound of his diet! With all the information that is available on indianringneck.com its a pity people do not...

AJPeter

I hate the idea of training my bird to beg like a dog with a biscuit on her nose, and l do not go for positive re-enforcement, although other people swear by it, and as for biting , my hen knows l yell and show her the blood mostly she bites without thinking and is sorry after. She is a rescued bird...

AJPeter

Billie laid an egg every two days although this year she laid three I put in two dummy eggs in the hope she would stop laying but no way there was nothing for 9 days and then another egg and 7 days later the last egg. Chickens lay every day. Start to worry if your hen lays egg No.6 drastic measures ...

AJPeter

I wish Billie would keep later hours it is not that she goes to sleep straight away but bang around for s little while but l must admit when l say Goodnight it is all quiet in there. Sometime during the night l can hear her banging the babble ball. l hate to think what the neighbours make of it. The...

AJPeter

Billie is not very vocal in the mornings but as l come into the LR l can hear her creeping about, and as the covers come off she is on the bottom of the cage guarding the crown jewels! Going to church this morning and l got half way and realized had not brought my reading glasses and went back to fe...

AJPeter

I have just seen your kind offer and sent a reply. It crossed in the post. Lucky Sanjay, Billie does not get such luxuries, she is an absolute pain on the floor. I wanted to have my dinner early tonight so she was put away at 4 pm. I will go to bed at 8 pm and I get up at 5.30am but potter for ages ...

I can send a wireless message from my laptop to my computer but it wont print unless the USB lead is plugged in and as soon as l plugged the USB lead in the printer printed the message! I ran a diagnostic check and that reported my printer connected wireless to my hub but can l make the little beast...

AJPeter

Don't speak too soon, when ever she can she flies down to the carpet and starts scratching, is she nest building? Will eggs follow. I try and stop her and she is beginning to understand l do not want her on the carpet. It is the producers who are to blame look at what happened to Top Gear a successf...

AJPeter

Do flat sheets keep the light out? I got fed up with a curtain at the top of the stairs coming adrift so l have pressed that into covering Billie, I moved the cage and started to vacuum the floor and l had a massive colic attack, my mother used to suffer from these she said then l should eat some dr...

AJPeter

Nice to have follow up, so many we give advice and we never hear form them again, stay in contact.

AJPeter

Well l finally got my printer connected. At least the diagnostic test says it is but l tried to print and nothing happened until l connect the USB! We will have to wait and see. I hate computers but a new computer must be a good cure for Alchemizes or how ever it is spelt. Billie has moved on from m...

I use a spare perch to pick Billie up but she is getting too clever at avoiding it, either she steps over it or pushes it away with her beak, it was 4.30 tonight she wanted to be covered, just as the sun started to go down but l was happy with day. I let her out with the injunction "Not on the ...

AJPeter

The furnace is a gas wall heater that gets very hot, in the bedroom. Billie is getting very wary of the perch which I use to pick her up from the floor, l keep telling her "NO!" You cannot go on the floor, and when does back in the cage! I am determined she will go not under my chair and s...
