P.S. Welcome to the family BirdNinja and fids ?

So glad to hear you are looking after your fids well Skybaby. Glad you got the nasty STICKY watermelon off your baby. :wink: Birds getting a shower or bath is such a very important thing, and when they are "pets" I reckon sometimes they forget to do it for themselves, as we do everything f...

My pet teil Keily is laying eggs and pretending that the stuffed yellow big bird head hanging in her cage is actually mating with her :( poor baby doesn't have a mate. The teil pair we fostered from a friend, sigh, they are confused, the male is tame and so jealous of any attention paid to the femal...

Welcome to the family and Welcome to the world of IRN's

You are in for an amazing journey, good and bad, but totally wonderful and rewarding

Welcome to the family .. What a wonderful Aussie name for your fid pitty you didn't pick shaza instead lol .. alot of fids are gender/name confused its very common. I have a male cockatiel called Priscilla (not my doing, i took him on from a friend and had to inform her that Priscilla was a male ..h...

Woohooo Fantastic ! you sound so excited, I can't wait to see the pics. I really miss the prego baby days :( sigh ! Seems like the family here is a very fertile one, you and Lauren will have heaps to talk about, maybe you two should start the prego mums thread ..hehehe :D with all the fids its about...

Welcome to the Team darlin !

OMG ! Congratulations darlin ! .. fantastic news. You have so much ahead of you, just remember to stop and savour the moments, life can have you barreling head on and suddenly they are all grown up and moved out .. :cry: Savour every second, good and bad, its all part of the journey... and what a wo...

Just to let you know, I have always found that lutino IRN are very slender and lean naturally, just my experience. They seem to be a much slighter bird than the blue and green, especially the females.

Just be careful with the toilet rolls, some can have toxic glues in the paper

Yeah as courtney says, once they settle with each other with cages side by side, put them together in a cage big enough for them to escape each other if the moods get the better of them. Even the best bonded friends get testy and there will always be one dominant bird (usually female over male) if t...

all of my birds, except the breeding pair of IRN are inside birds and very tame pets that play with us every day. And then if i wanted to bring Kai in from the aviary I am sure I still could, he comes to us and feeds from our hands and still gives kisses for treats even though he is out in the aviar...

Yup definately doing the male thing with the ball, he is showing the ball how beatiful he is and what a good breeder he would make, trying to woo it and also feeding it to show how well he would feed it while on the nest. He may also just be practicing, as I am sure he knows full well this is not a ...

4 Indianringnecks - Kai & Mickey, Jordan and Pickle
4 Cockatiels - Priscilla & Charlie, Keily and Cornellius

welcome to the family !!

welcome to the family

aww good luck, hope you find work soon. I worked for years, was a real career woman working in big inner city accountancy firm for years, then had by two girls and went striaght back to work, after years of juggling career, children and childcare bills I stayed at home with my son and had been a sta...

been socialising them here and there, not ready to put them together yet. But when they are he shows dominance over both females, he protects keily from Charlie, and then goes over and feeds charlie, then chases keily around showing off to her. So he works his ground well ... lol

How cold is cold. We have our IRN's outside and some nights it might get down to 4-5 deg celcius, so long as the fids are out of the wind, they have enough feathers and down to keep them warm.

Welcome to the family. If you search the forum using the search button at the top, using keywords like, taming, wild, training, even "help" will bring up hundreds of previous topics with answers to this very common question. Basically, it will take time, patients and dedication. My first s...

Well being known as such a bird lover, once again I have been entrusted with someones beloved bird. My girlfriend from work, who entrusted Peaches our beautiful and very personality filled lovebird to us, is now moving to Melbourne to live (2 hours away) and cannot take her tiels with her to the new...

Yep me too, but thanks for reminding me just how funny snowball is. I showed hubby and son for the first time and had them totally cracked up, they loved it !

Wow, ever growing family there

awww Lauren .. a Quaker .. sob .. I miss billy and bell (idiot, idiot).

Welcome to the family .. can't wait to get to know you and your fid better, and see pics aswell

Not sure but I think it was BigChicken that use to draw pictures for site members. See this link;

Will let you know of anything else that I might find.

probably wants to be a mumma

Yep you can do it yourself, once you have researched it properly and watched someone with experience do it first. I watched a breeder and then a vet. I now clip my own fids with confidence and also get called on by family friends and neighbours to do their birds. There are all kinds of things to kno...

Welcome to the family. I have admired and enjoyed AJ for a long time. I always use him as an example of just how clever and beautiful these birds are. You have certainly done a wonderful job with him.

I joined the fan club quite a while ago.

I hope you keep in touch here.

Hiya darlin, have really missed you heaps. Sounds fantastic ! .. we have actually been thinking of doing the same for our girls. We are looking at buying and investment property in melbourne and letting them rent it on the thought of them eventually owning it. Alot to think about and work out yet. I...

Welcome and good luck with your search. I am in Australia and have little idea of your geography, but I suggest looking online for pet ad sites. We have one in australia http://www.petlink.com.au where breeders and sellers, sell and swap pets of all kinds, including birds, you can find all kinds the...

well 3 - 6 month old can still be a handraised bird. If it isn't you may have your work cut out for you as it could be rather wild, parent imprinted, especially if it hasn't had any human contact. Just trying to find out what you are going for so we can advise on how to and when to begin handeling y...

well I would think if you want a pet, you would be buying a handraised baby, so the bird will be very familiar with humans. A box that the shop or breeder gives you for travelling will be good. When you get the baby home, I would place him/her straight into the cage, place food and water in. Keep th...

sorry to hear this .. hope the new one settles in, clipping will help tame her and also keep her from flying away too.

wow I might have to look into getting a C510 for myself !! Love the avitar pic you have added, great angle !

aww sorry I didn't mention all the colours, but I haven't had experience with them so can't comment

Your Max is lovely !!

Bec, you and I both have green pickles .. hehehe

I think Hugo is doing an imitation of an owl in that last pic.. lol

wow were those pics taken with a sony ericsson phone camera, if so thats very impressive ! nice pics.

Leo are you asking if you can bath the bird ? Some birds like to bath, so supplying a bowl for them to bath in can be good, mine don't seem to take to it so I spray them with a spray bottle until they are rather wet all over, they love it. They shake their feathers and hold out their wings, then pre...

Welcome to the family and thank you !!! you are an angel for saving those babies.

can't wait to see pics

Welcome to the family eshwaar & Pink your boy is beautiful. I have one green male, one blue male and one lutino male and one lutino female. I love the blue for the rich colour and black mixed with white ring. I adore the lutino for the lack of black and mix of red and white in the ring But the G...

Welcome to the family to you both

It is !! thats why I had to have it. I have only ever seen macaws or eagles etc. So needless to say, when I saw the IRN I just HAD to have it.

Don't know much about it .. have been trying to research it and all I can find of the name is a relationship to a place in the Himalayan region, Kumaun folk (Indian), Pahari art is generally considered to be a reflection of delicacy and grace. It is also influenced by peace and serenity of the hills...

I couldn't resist. I was down at Bass Coast Auctions today and saw this up on the agenda. I waited 2.5 hours for the lot number to come up and ended up bringing her home. Bronze and marble - Lady with Bird. http://media8.dropshots.com/photos/141026/20060108/162440.jpg http://media6.dropshots.com/pho...

what a lovely bunch you have .. how do you have any time to yourself .. I bet you don't .. lol .. thanks for sharing (love Bertha) I miss having chooks. One of our hens "Mum" would take on any eggs and any babies any time, she would watch out for any of the youngsters and she loved coming ...

Woohooo

yuppers!

Yup! Old clothes is the best answer! :D Also, if you DO have her on you just before you are leaving the house, have someone do a 'poop check' for you ... you may get to the grocery store and someone will point out the fact that you have bird poo down the back of your shirt! LOL (guess how I know th...

I thought about that, but it wouldn't do any good. I would probably just end up getting angry with him, I guess its as I said, I learnt a lesson, I should have kept them to begin with.

Thanks Pink , yeah bec, neither do I really.. its just something I will think about and regret for a long time to come. Lesson learnt

Some of you may remember when I got my pair of quaker parrots Billy and Bell, they came across from Adelaide SA. I didn't have luck breeding them, billy was tamer than bell, but I wouldn't separate them just to have billy as a pet, I got them as a pair. So, I gave them to the local breeder, on the c...

Aww lovely fids

I had a quaker pair, billy and bell, they are amazing birds, so much fun and personality !! . . .

Sadly I made a big mistake with them in trusting them with my local breeder I knew for a few years will post that on a new thread so as not to hijack this one.
