yep sounds like mating dance to me. The eyes are a little creepier than normal pinning though.

julie

Did you see his pieds ? did you find him reasonably priced?
I'm going to go and see him soon to get some blue males, and maybe a pied.

julie

was that the guy I put you in touch with? If it is I think I can understand why he says that :lol: could you imagine how long it would take him to get through giving them fruit everyday. My Grey/green male throws the seed around when I only give him seed, its like he is expecting the fruit to be bur...

julie

Relax, i promise your bird will be the way he was before you clipped him. It will take time, give it days or weeks. 8) yep , normally just when the wings are starting to grow back. Indie wont talk to me if I'm the one holding him while he is getting clipped. Try getting him to step up onto your han...

julie

Indie doesn't bite me, he head butts my hand away sometimes but they aren't all biters.
What do you do when the bird bites you?

julie

U.S Marine do you mean like the alfoil type ones?
Indie wont play with toys

Mika regurgitates and tries to feed his and spike thinks they are beds

spike is a little weird in the head though.

julie

I used to have a bearded dragon and he was like a dog. Never would bite or run from you, he would just chill out and bask in the sunlight. They make great companions. They are really cool pets. Ren gets up on his hind legs and scratches on the front of the tank to get my attention and then looks do...

julie

Ian.g I love Taz coloring

and your snakes are stunning

The snakes are so much different to the ones we have in Australia. Some of your guys look like they would weigh a bit.

julie

Are the dragons aggressive, if they bite could they get you stitches? :shock: This fella might do some damage, if you were game enough to put your fingers near him (hes a wild one) but we have had ren and stimpy since they were tiny weeny babies and they get handled a fair bit. I have been bitten b...

julie

I have 2 females that talk.

julie

It sounds like you are doing a good job with him/her and I wouldn't say put in an aviary. With the whole ring on this foot is a girl that foot is a boy, I couldn't help but laugh, unless the bird has been dna tested or sexed or is a sex linked mutation the only way to tell is to wait for the ring to...

julie

And this is Monty

A vid of him when he was a bit younger. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diDgD1fhPEs

julie

I few of us here have reptiles as well as our birds, I thought it would be a good idea to have a thread to post pics of them. Here is my 2 beardies Ren and stimpy, they are still only young and have a bit of growing to do. http://media8.dropshots.com/photos/60363/20090207/151049.jpg http://media8.dr...

julie

Its a bit of a hit or miss kind of thing. Indie would be ok with them because he keeps to himself, but spike would be going after them and terrorizing them to death. I notice in your sig that you have a beardie ( I have 2 ) , do you have any pics you can post of it please.

julie

Let's just say there is some real nutcases around.

julie

try looking up different things EG ringednecked parakeets posters

julie

yep , but some of them have been banned and come back as different usernames, some have left and haven't been around for ages.

julie

is it safe for birds to digest?

julie

Nietzsche huh? Ok i know the solution, but you should have seperated the birds into diff rooms the first few days or at least a week. Reason is that they should be quarantined first and while in quarantine would become interested over time hearing each others calls, so wen they start looking around...

julie

could be cinnamon turquoise blue???

julie

check out this link http://www.indianringneck.com/board/vie ... php?t=4899 the boy looks just like my Grey/green boy and the second looks like the hen in the link which is spikes mum.

julie

Are you planning to quarantine the new pair?

julie

get your hubby to start giving him special treats, you may need to not give him special things for a couple of days though. Indie wouldn't come to me for a little while, i couldn't work out why and then i caught Aaron sneaking him special treats and sucking up to him. I have noticed all of mine incl...

julie

that's ok, don't be surprised if you are now considered the boy who cried wolf

julie

Done both at the same time with spike (irn) and Mika (Alex). mika ate a lot quicker than spike and slightly more. they both weaned and fledged at the same time.Mika didn't need to be fed more times a day than spike, they ate at the same times.

julie

Whats with the "bird going blind" heading ?? maybe you didn't get the response you were after straight away because you specified an exact location.

julie

. I wish I had a camera to take a picture of her, she has me stumped for sure. She is molting right now, and looking very drab. I know she was not being fed properly so I was wondering if that could affect her color and she really is a normal green, but lacks vitamins and such? Thanks for your help...

julie

Is the cage covered at night? I know what you mean about waking everyone up, when I work night shifts and come home in the mornings , my outside lot start calling and my inside lot start chatting to me. If the cage isn't covered , maybe try covering it the nights that you know you have to get up ear...

julie

I wonder if it would work on aviary birds that get plucked by others.

julie

when they start getting curious enough to start picking things up with their beaks is a good indicator. Some start picking at the bedding or droppings ect. And pretty muchly if there is things like corn kernels and fresh peas that they can have a play with they eventually work it out that its edible...

julie

personally I don't like it cause the clear front takes away climbing space, and I can just picture in my mind a bird flying straight into the front of it to land on the perch when the front is closed.

julie

check her out for mites and other things that may cause her irritation. does she have toys and things to keep her occupied ?

julie

Its good that there is products like this around , but the birds need to be checked out for the cause of the plucking too.

julie

I don't mean to alarm you but I think he needs to be quarantined and taken to a vet. He cant have plucked the feathers on the top of his head near his eye as there is no way he could reach with his beak. It may just be mites and he is rubbing it way too much or it could be something more serious.

julie

Have you got pictures of the " plucked " blue bird. I'm a little curious about how he manages to pluck his neck.

julie

I would keep her in her cage for a while , she needs to see what goes on around the place without the hassles of getting her back in and to see how things are in your house IE the way you move around ect.

julie

looking at the pics , the breeder seems to have a taste for pink things, they are lucky to get a bird in possibly their favorite color. I'm basing this on the pink lid and other pink things in the background of this pick.

julie

Alexandrians eyes are a different color to Indian ring necks eyes. They normally molt when the weather changes, you will know when a major molt is happening cause there is a lot of feathers floating around. What are you actually feeding her that she has it with a spoon? If you are feeding hand raisi...

julie

Hello and welcome. I'm not too sure about the whole breeding solely to make money thing , but each to their own, good luck with that (you may find that it cost more than you make). First thing you need to do is research the proper mutation names, I noticed in your other thread you have a chocolate h...

julie

I wouldn't describe it as being "body pure blue" unless maybe color blind (sorry if you are :oops: ) when you say green head and pure blue we/I got a completely different picture of what it was. It looks similar to my hen. check out this thread http://indianringneck.com/board/viewtopic.php...

julie

If you cant get a hold of hand raising mix , try get some baby food, something like stewed apples,don't get human baby formula though. It might also be a little more comfortable with a branch or something more solid for it to stand on until it get used to where it is.

julie

psst put img tags at the ends too.

julie

I will pm you a name to check out for possible hand raised chicks.

julie

I will find some more pics of my guys. I also have 1 Alexandrian . I know a breeder here that I can put you in contact with if you like, his place is amazing

julie

this one I brought really cheap from the bird sale

julie

yeah they do throw out what they don't want :roll: I put enough in to come just below the perch part that allows the birds to climb out and then the hen goes to town chucking what she doesn't want out. I will find some pics of the birds that I have at the moment. I lost a couple of lacewing hens to ...

julie

I use pine shavings, on the pack it has rabbits and rats. If you are interested and didn't already know about it, there is the annual monster bird sale coming up over here http://www.birdsale.com.au/Details/NSW_Wagga_Wagga_Jun.html there is always heaps of ring necks there and some real nice mutatio...

julie

I would do it now and start getting your breeding boxes ready to put in. What colors are you pairing up? I just cleared my inbox and noticed a pm from you , sorry I didn't get it sooner.

julie

are you able to separate the pairs you want to breed with?

julie

if they aren't fighting with each other I would say they are ok. Do you have more than one pair in together?
