Thank you. I lucked out, really. I happened to have gotten one with really good color (really poor temperment). Meaning, she lunges at everyone except me and chases away potential lovers I am not easily occupied to say the least but this bird has entertained me for months. ALWAYS something funny, al...

Mikaela

My girl is about 13 weeks so I can rest awhile I reckon

Mikaela

How old are they when they lay their first eggs? IIIeeee so much to learn!

Mikaela

If I may offer some advice... no gloves please. I know the bites hurt and I too used a golf glove at first until I was taught better. As long as you use the glove you are sitting back the day he or she becomes tame. My bird bites when I try to get her out of her cage mostly, therefore, I use a 'step...

Shew, good thing I said *usually*

He is a dainty thing though. Or maybe he is just too pretty to be a boy.

Mikaela

Im not one to sling around empty compliments. In my opinion, that is the prime example of what a well breed and well cared for ringneck should look like. No offense to the birdies that are having feather or other problems, could happen to any of them/us. Ugly or pretty, they are amazing. Good Job Jo...

Mikaela

My girl has never done this. She has been pissed and scared but she just lowers her head and opens her mouth as if she is going to lunge. I hope there isnt a medical reason she doesnt do this. Maybe she just never felt that freaked out. I am going to keep my eyes out, let you know if and when she ev...

Mikaela

My girls eyes are completely black, all the time. The entire eye is black, always. Is something wrong with this? She has no pupils to dialate for her eyes are very dark black, always.

Mikaela

My mean little hen that isn't afraid of NOTHING met her match yesterday... a corn on the cob. She ran from it squaking and acting like I put a snake in her cage. Poor thing was shivering. Because she acts like such a bad azz all the time, I actually thought it was kind of cute she got scared. Later,...

*gives Jon a big ol hug*

Kick **** man! You're in business now!

Can I call you my avatar man

Mikaela

Thank God I never leave my bird unattended. You know the little play gyms they love so much, made of wood with a few ladders and a swing. Anyway, very common so I am sure you know what I'm talking about, if not... shop more. Anyway, last night India and I were playing on her gym while enjoying pizza...

Selma: When my baby was 12 weeks old, I too had to do the very same thing. I had only had her 4 weeks so she was still a lil timid. Anyway, I took her to have all of this done and she too resented me for it for about a week. She lunged as if she thought we were going back to the 'little cage'. It hu...

Mikaela

My bird would be dead as hell by now if not for this board.

She loves peanuts and I have been giving her all she wanted.

Mikaela

So frustrating!

Mikaela

I would have to say you have a boy, because of his high beak and his eyes. How old is He/She?

The beak is high and flat, whereas girls tend to have lower beaks that pertrude out more.

Knowing the age would really help. Looks like a ring is trying to come in.

Mikaela

Ya'll use the term 'pinned eyes' and my baby has never looked any different in her eyes. Her eyes are just black with no ring. She does have long lashes though Never knew birds have eylashes, however, I find myself envying hers hehe. She has no ring around her eyes like most of your babies do. Her e...

Mikaela

Well isnt that something.... late bloomers to say the least. Nonetheless, they are ok now and I am SO happy for you. I was a little worried because my baby was fully feathered at 6 weeks. Maybe this means a late moult too! The less of those, the better!

Mikaela

I know Jonathan, it is catchy. I understand your frustration. e-mail be a pic of the avatar you want to use and I'll do my best to get it set up for you. I remember when I was trying to get it done grrr. I might need your password to your profile but doubtful as long as you dont log out when you lea...

Mikaela

I try to convince people sex doesnt matter. How we treat them is all that matters when it comes to a good bird or a bad bird. Believe me, I know what it is like to pawn over something and then CHOMP, hateful looks and runs away from you. At first, it really hurt my feelings. Through education I real...

Mikaela

Hey Ya'll: India and I have came along way. My fingers do not have a single bite on them. However, I am still left with one problem, which I actually created myself. When I first got her, I was scared of her lunging so to prevent that I got her from her cage her way... with a perch stick. That worke...

Mikaela

I consider myself very good with computers, however, I had the same problem to the point I had to have a friend do it for me. If anyone can help him add an avatar, please step-by-step it so we can all do it. I am sure it is simple but we just dont know the trick. Post the pic you want to use and may...

Mikaela

Ringneck: First of all, you are awesome for not sexing and I wanted to thank you. Very smart and ethical. I am looking for another ringneck, I think. It is a 30 yr committment so I am going to have to think about it hard. All I know is, my bird has brought me so much joy and company that I can't ima...

Mikaela

Do you know if your baby is a boy or a girl? He is sort of prissy looking but I still believe you have a boy. Fairly new to birds but seem to have a nack for sexing, it seems.

At least I am *usually* right

How old? Looks to be in great condition.

Mikaela

Individual, great description. I am so happy there is a board like this where we can conduct our own studies of what works for us and for Irn's. Through all of this comes education that will help us raise an incredibly happy and healthy bird. I am counting on this 30 yr. committment. Marriages dont ...

Mikaela

Unless the breeder had him DNA'ed, there is NO way, at that age, to tell the Irn's sex. Often, though not all breeders but I have seen many do it, breeders will say an Irn is a boy because some prefer the ring the boys develope. They want to make the sale and realize noone will be the wiser until th...

Hey Yall: I was wondering if common parakeets require as much hands-on attention as my Irn. I want to get a boy and a girl, as I have read they will bond with eachother and not need me as much. My Irn is my baby, the parakeets would be in a cage in my bedroom as they make little noise. I have a HUGE...

Mikaela

Boy or girl?

Whats ya'lls opinion?

I wish I could change my avatar image to the one where she is on my finger (the middle one)but I dont know how. Friend did the avatar I have now but not of the pic I wanted

If anyone knows how to change the image, please, feel free!

Mikaela

Zoe: Good judge of character! She is so prissy and so bitchy (can I say that here)? She demands whatever she wants and I jump. She has me trained GREAT! I have her stepping up and down and not eating me alive ALL the time, just usually. Our relationship improved 10-fold when I stopped letting her pu...

Selma: Your baby kiiiills me with that red patch on his head I bet I have shown him to a million people. My baby is different in the way that she is VERY dark emerald green with yellow undetones and blue tail feathers. Can anyone tell me how she mutated? Meaning which was green and which was blue? H...

Mikaela

Please excuse my ignorance, but that is why I am here. If I knew everything... wouldnt need to be. So as stupid as this question may sound to some, I am brave enough to ask it anyway. Will my girl Irn lay eggs? But because she is alone, the eggs wont be any good? Or, she must have a mate to even mak...

Mikaela

Thank God for local breeders.

Mikaela

My baby ran out of seed this morning. The seed I had, came with her when I got her. I dont know what kind it is/was.

What I would like to have is any and everyone's opinion on what seed to buy today. Is there one that REALLY brings out the color? Let me know! Thanks in advance.

Mikaela

I got mine at pet supermarket, cheap too and my baby stays on the thing. LOVES it! Best thing I ever bought her.

Mikaela

My Irn is very deep emerald green with baby blue tail feathers. Her mama was blue and her daddy was green. The breeder said he babies would be blue. Is this true or is there no way to really tell? How can one presume future mutations... I dont believe have to what he says, to be honest with you.

Mikaela

I just wanted to let ya'll know that India is better. I suppose like us, they have days where they dont feel very well. It shows in birds whereas with other pets, you may not pick up on it. She is taking food from my hand with her talon now. Think Imma try to teach her high five because she uses her...

Mikaela

I would be TERRIFIED to put my baby in cargo, no way. Those people throw that stuff around like garbage. It is an option though but one I dont feel very good about. Sorry, I am one to share my opinion, hope not to offend.

Mikaela

Sorry but

If only people were so cool!

Mikaela

Now *that* is cool. Is that a free website like photobucket?

Mikaela

Are those happy meals still out?! I have GOT to get some for India. She loves to watch stuff fall!

Mikaela

I give my India a 2 full containers of seed, a container of treats (usually papaya, raisins or sunflower mixed with peanuts). She never stops eating. Should I let her go on like this? Is there a reason she is doing this... meaning thats what birds do? She is 13 weeks old now. I noticed this last wee...

Mikaela

5 months and 2 yrs, both emerald girls.

Mikaela

Very pretty green, as my India. Maybe they'll met online.

How did you get your camera to pick up the vibrance of his/her color? I can't get my camera to show India's true color. The camera blahs her out.

Mikaela

They have a three legged dog on the surreal life this season that just kills me. He humps everything he can find. Soooooo cute. Check it out. you'll fall in love!

See! Men are birds! I meant dogs, no wait... birds. Ahhh, dang. You get my point

Mikaela

These birds have us so trained it isnt even funny..... well lol actually it is.

Mikaela

I figured out the tail feather problem. For gods knows what reason, she likes to torment the cat. Not the slightest bit scared of it, in fact she antagonises it. So, kitty catches her asleep with her pretty little tail feathers sticking out oh her HUGE cage (but she chooses to sleep right at the doo...

Mikaela

The mumbling they do when they think noone is listening is SO CUTE. Reminds me of an ol woman complaining under her breath.
