Yay thanks Skye! Tomorrow if I have time tomorrow I will take some pictures of my small 2 week old collection. Don't worry doodlebug, the fact that you don't collect feathers makes you normal, not like us crazy bird people.

AlphaWolf

Hi lola, I found this link about making juices for you and your bird. I think it will be a great read. Tell me what you think.

That's a really wonderful idea pattiB, can't wait for someone to answer this post . Unfortunatley I have not reached any milestone yet , but I guess it's all about patience.

AlphaWolf

Oh c'mon Skye, surely you have some time to post your tremendously awesome feather collection to us poor featherless newbies.

AlphaWolf

Hi Skye, nice post. A couple of years ago I used to visit such websites when I just started learning about parrot care. I was a needle away from buying the bird tricks.com scam, when I read a forum post about their dangers. From that day on I have learned everyrthing from forums such as this one. N...

Hi Loo, about Aero. Well, I think we progressed a little bit. We went back a few steps back though. For the last couple of days every time I approached a 1.5 metres radios of the cage Aero would starting flying from perch to cage wall and start flapping all over the cage. And I can tell you it was ...

AlphaWolf

Hello everyone,
Can you guys post your moulted feather collection. I just started collecting Aero's feathers and want to see your feathers. Let's get posting people!

AlphaWolf

CONGRATULATIONS

AlphaWolf

Kiki is such a lovely name, please keep us updated and post some pictures ASAP.

AlphaWolf

Thank you all for your help!

AlphaWolf

Awww so cute and beautiful. I <3 Violet ringnecks!!! Can't wait for the day when Aero lets me give him scratches. Give Celest a treat from me.

AlphaWolf

Hello Avaks, Welcome to the forum. My IRN Aero is also at a similar stage but a bit more behind. I have him now for around 3 weeks. The fact that he eats from your hand is a very good thing. Keep it up. I have still to wait for Aero to eat from my hand. If you stick around you will have tremendous ...

AlphaWolf

I second what ellie said, goodbirdinc is probably the best website so far. Unlike many others she uses positive reinforcement. I think I will buy her bird body language DVD. The work she does is amazing, reading about Siroco's problems will give you many tips for training your bird. Oh and avoid th...

AlphaWolf

Welcome to the forums. Hope you have a pleasant experience with the little bubs.

AlphaWolf

Welcome AJ to the forums. Congratulations on your alexandrine Billie. This forum will be a wonderful experience for you and your bird. I'am not that experienced but I'am sure many other will help if you need. Please post pictures as soon as possible. We need pictures! Aero and me give you a warm fe...

AlphaWolf

Hah bird tricks, the most ridiculous website ever. Makes me laugh thinking about it.

AlphaWolf

OMG THEY ARE TOOO BEAUTIFUL.

AlphaWolf

OMG, Aero decided to give me a heart attack. I went to check his water bowl and i saw it all reddish pink. Man i though maybe he was injured. Apparentlty yours truly Aero decided Halloween should come early. He dunked some papayas into his food bowl

AlphaWolf

Hi MissK,
Tbh I don't know. Just giving him fresh food and water. I think by coming close to him he gets scared. So shall I just ignore him but sit near him and carry on feeding him apples? Or shall I let him settle down first? Sorry for pestering you with these questions.

AlphaWolf

Ok, maybe I pushed Aero too far :( ... Whenever I approach the cage he starts to flap around. I can't even feed him with him overreacting and flapping like mad. Looks like I'am back to step one! Shall I carry on feeding him apple as a treat and let him settle down even more. I guess that I was pati...

AlphaWolf

Hi Claire, Just to clarify, I only have 2 food bowls in the cage. An at the bottom is a grill. I think I will remove the grill later but whenever I put my hand in the cage Mr Aero freaks out. ( There he goes again giving me that :twisted: stare lol). Shall I add another bowl or what? I'am quite out...

AlphaWolf

Hi just saw this thread. I (well ok my sister) have 2 budgies. A dark combat english budgie and a sky-blue standard budgie. OMG, they are too cute and sweet.

AlphaWolf

CONGRATULATIONS LOO ! Good job and you definitely earned it, crazy bird lady. I guess baby steps are all what it is about.

AlphaWolf

AWWWW, so happy for you claire. Can't wait for the day Aero will let me touch him When we went to get AERO from the petshop ther was this macaw who kept begging for head scratches, and he loved it when i scratched his head. He was the first bird I ever touched

AlphaWolf

Hi everyone, just a quick question. The pet store who sold me Aero told me that he is 8months old. Is it normal that his eyes are all black with a little bit of dark yellow in one side. Which age do they get when they have like white and black. Could he be younger than he really is (honestly I hope...

AlphaWolf

Lol, I wish that Aero just stopped acting like I will eat him, poor little green chicken. Sorry for not being of any help, but just got my ringneck so totally inexperienced.

AlphaWolf

Hi Dan, I agree with loo, I believe your bird is moulting. Aero here is moulting but other than a very scruffy feathers and down feathers all over the floor that's all I have. I also believe that Doodlebug is also moulting. Don't panic, (I admit it, I panicked myself and though he was plucking too)...

AlphaWolf

Thank you Skye, I will re-read the earlier posts. I think I will feed him his veggies at the evening. So maybe morning till around 2 in the evening will be seeds. Around 2-6 I will serve fresh fruit and veggies, And from 6 till 8 in the morning seeds again. Any flaws in my plan? I really want to gi...

AlphaWolf

Anyone?

AlphaWolf

Thank you everyone for your encouragement.

AlphaWolf

OMG WHAT A CUTIE!!! Love this pics. What a nice coloring! Don't worry pics of Aero coming soon! TONS of 'EM. But he looks so scruffy and like a streat urchin if you ask me. Knowing Aero, if I take a picture of him, he will take a picture of me in a bad hair day and post it all over the forum .

AlphaWolf

Welcome Nina

AlphaWolf

Welcome, what a beautiful little bundle of joy you have there.

AlphaWolf

Ok the pellets where a complete failure. :( The pet store owner told me that they feed him a mixture of seeds and pellets. So after noticing that aero never touches his pellets I decided to mix only pellet in his feed bowl. What a disaster. After like 4 hours i notice some nibbled pellets but bowl ...

AlphaWolf

Hello MissK, your post was so sweet and wonderful :D . Aero has now a distance that if I disturb he will start hopping around. As an update using your technique loo, i observed him preening, stretching his poor clipped wings and scratching his head. Poor Aero he is so scruffy right now due to his m...

AlphaWolf

LOL I meant loo.

AlphaWolf

Hello, Aero also fluffs his feathers and squawks. He was doing it more often when we got him but now he is decreasing this! What do you think this behaviour means.

AlphaWolf

Oppsies doodlebug, didn't know you where a lady!!!

AlphaWolf

Awesome build, you should pat yourself in the back ;)

AlphaWolf

Just out of curiosity, how old are you loo?

AlphaWolf

I know that this is an old thread but Wow, tons of taming of information for newbies. Wonder what happened to Koko and Guy?

AlphaWolf

Hello Loo, Lol what a coincidence. My dad also gave me discouraging opinions on how I will never tame them. Just notice the we and our birds have a lot in common. Noticed today the Aero hates and never touches his pumpkin seeds and mushy bananas. Oh and my worst food is sprouts and butter, XD. Anyw...

AlphaWolf

Welcome Jezzika, your babies are tooo cute. Keep up the good work!

AlphaWolf

WELCOME LOLA TO THE FORUMS!!!

AlphaWolf

Awesome, my this Alex will be the IRN equivlent of Alex the african grey. Have still to work with Aero just to eat in front of me lol. Btw, what color mutation is Alex and how old is he?

AlphaWolf

I was half shocked, hald disguested and really wanted to puke and laugh at the guy's ignorance. Sheesh, what stupidity. Anyways, I'am giving Aero today only pellets in his bowl and see how he goes. Will update soon. Thank you Skye ( love your bird btw especially hamlet) and LittleButtercup. :D

AlphaWolf

Hello Doodlebug, I still have to figure out a way to transfer my photos to my laptop from iPad. I keep having problems, grrr. Aero is also having a moult( I think as he is very scruffy and i can see some down feathers) can't for him to get his coat fixed :) So as an update with Aero, he doesn't eat...

AlphaWolf

Welcome Dan,
I agree that this forum is awesome. I just joined a week ago after purchasing your new ringneck Aero. Milo is such a sweet name. Please post pictures!!!! We need to see Milo.

AlphaWolf

How i thing going with doodlebug, some more pics plz ( even he looks greasy). How far are you know in the bonding? What does he let you do and what does he not? I love doodlebug.

AlphaWolf

Thanks Doodlebug, I used to live in Birmingham but i now visit there 3 months a year. We should organise a playdate for Aero and Doodlebug! :D Soo happy that I'am making progress. Now that he is comfortable with eating behind my back, what shall I do. Shall I stay like this for longer, leaving him ...
