its not so easy to tame a irn, its more easy if you had handfeeding him when he was few weeks old. Now he need time and patience You must win his trust first, for that spend time with him, talking him and serve him treats and toys with your hands. You must provide him a quiet enviroment, free from s...

i agree at all with skibum.
You can buy a cage via e-shoping
A great e-shop is http://www.birdsafestore.com
i bought from this an excellent travel cage, but the shipping cost is too expensive for greece, you are lucky about this.

i use nests from wood ( closed box with a hole near roof), i dont remember exactly the dimentions, i think about 30*30*40 cm. I put inside (about 3- 4 cm) straw like the pet shops have for rabbits food. usually the female throw out many of straw, and cut the other in small pieces, so i refil nest 1-...

I found him after one week Lene, do you live in a city or country? How do you find him? I have missed a ringneck,before years, (i live central in a big city). He flew away and i didnt saw him again, i hope to be alive now In house when i call lazaros, he comes to me, but i dont think so if he escap...

I should really clip Yodas wings, but I just can't. Guilt has come over me. They both love flying together from room to room. Oh I know I should, since hes still a little monster most of the time. Jibbys always been a good boy and other than the odd occasion of rebellion from him, usually when hes ...

nice try giantfoot_truck i think water or reach in water foods like fruits and vegetables must be the first thing that these poor birds need. Maybe a bowl with water and another with food in a table on the balcony? i cant imagine how these birds can live in such bad conditions. do you live permanent...

The above cage that i have with its base cost me about 180 euro, and isnt something special. i think big parrot cages are too expensive here because only few serious people have parrots. There isnt any irns breeder here and at pet shops buy import, no handfeeding and tame males irns . It is extremel...

nil

here you can find only few cages like these, and are too expensive, maybe 1000 euro, and people prefer small and cheap ones. I bought a cage for lazaro ( much biger, than pet shop suggest me) and is H60 W66 D45, cm what do you beleive for its size? http://www.fop.it/images/products/15270035.jpg

hi bella i dont like the second one. Irns love and use the upper side of their cages, so i am affraid that in secong cage your bird will limit in the right tall side. the first is ok and both bar spacings are ok too what about this? m) i used to shop for my irns from uk ( via internet of coarse), us...

Lazaros love palm nut, eats it with zest and spend many time. I break also the kernel and lazaros eats the inside and the kernel too, its very good for his beak. i know that palm nuts is main food for amazons. I have palm nuts in my freeze. But palm nuts must be full of fat, so i give him only a nut...

i used to break coconut into small pieces (about 2-3*cm) with the shell, or in big pieces like donna says.
Lazaros eat it so much and plays with the shells but my other birds dont eat it.

ficus produce flowers and fruits but in warmer environments.
In greece ficus dont flower, i think the same in NZ.
Ficus also have its leaves all the year, aspen is not and aspen in spring flowers ( something like dust feathers, white, it seems like snowing around, in greece this is in summer)

nil

no it is not suitable for irns, maybe its ok for rabbits you need at least double in height, and more width , more perches in vertical potition, because now your birds cant jump or fly. And dont put the cage in the floor, birds feel uncomfortable when they are low, put the cage ( no this, OTHER) in ...

sorry...
i found this in dictionary

thanks donna and melika

i ll change it right now

why do you want to change a seed diet with pellets, anyhow? i beleive that a seed diet with vegetables and fruits can be enough good like pellets As i have seen here in forum, americans use a lot of pellets.In Europe mostly use seed mixes with dried vegetables , fruits and pellets (no more than 5 - ...

nil

first of all the birds should be in different cages, and need time to use each other.
Dont neglect piko, and spend many time with him, because he will probably jealous the new one.
It is no so easy but of coarse they can be friends.

But I'm still trying to keep positive and will be back at the looking for work thing!

dont give up lauren,

it was only a try, next will be better.

skibum,
this is Populus alba, common name is aspen ( i found the name in dictionary). ( for THE THIRD PIC with the 2 color leaves i am sure, are all pics from the same tree?)
i dont know for birds, i think is safe, but many animals like goats, sheeps eat this.

congratulations for your new job when i return home from my work, 6-7 pm, Lazaros wait to me in his cage. He starts to call me , from the time to i unlock the door to come in. My first think is to put out lazaros ,for 1 hour, so he flies into house, play with me and enjoy my treats. The difficult is...

i have seen that many use a disifectant in the water of rinse seeds, so the seeds are safe.
i dont use soak seeds, because it needs enougt time but soak seeds are a very useful food.
Some day i ll try with it.

thanks donna

Sorry but this method seems very cruel to me. There is no way I would/could do that to any of my birds. No matter how wild they are. What is cruel? i suggest just only a bath for minimaze the time of catch. i love all birds and i want not to hurt them. How do you catch a not tame bird in a cage or ...

nil

I suggest spray them enough with water, until they become completely wet. When they wet cant fly so it is easier to catch them. Put out all perches, bowls and toys from the old cage and catch them with a glove in one hand, with your other hand untangle toes and beak from the wire. Otherwise, like yo...

i dont think that sunflower make them aggressive.
do you know why avocado is forbiden for parrots, i am just curious

nil

good luck lauren
maybe it will be a little difficult for your babies, at first, but i think alls will be going good at final.
and furthermore they have company themselves
a lot of toys and maybe a radio for keeping them busy will be fine.

nil

untill your bird begin to eat enough himself, i think 2 handfeeding per day is ok (one about 11 am and the other before sleep at night). when a bird denies to take his handfeeding i found useful to handfeeding him 2-3 hours after sleep at night. for the weaning period i have found that millet sprays...

it's best if you rehome him and not get another bird each bird has his own personality, we want to tame them but we must respect their personalities and distinctiveness, they arent machines to schedule their reactions. irn are difficult birds, maybe other species are more easy doing, maybe another ...

how much is the humidity in your house donna?
here we have enough humidity, inside my house, now with the central heating, is about 60-75%.

it is just a nervous symptome.
give him interests ( toys etc), good food with vegetables and fruits and supplements ( Calcium ) and spend time with him.

and my birds love corn I hang a half of corn cob in the cage or cut the cob into half slices and then serve with other fruits and vegetables in a cup. They eat both seeds and the entire of the cob. This year, i have frozen in summer many of them, so i have corn cobs all the year. I think they prefer...

whole grain rice boiled for few minutes is ok. Also you can boil with rice peas, beans, oats ( quacker), and corn. Freeze the boiled mix for long storage or put it in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. It must be served in room temperature only and mustnt remain in cage for more than 3-4 hours. pasta on...

birds need silence and dark in the night for sleeping, if you havent any dark and silent place in your house you must use a dark color blanket over cage and as much as you can silent.

It is possible to have 2 or more pairs irns in the same aviary, but it must be enough large and i think yours isnt. If you want, you can try to put 2 pairs in the same aviary with two nests ( far the one to other), but you have pay attention for fights or injuries, especially between females and at ...

nil

hi
no, irns must be alone in the aviary and only one pair per aviary.
can you make 2 aviaries 3*2*1 m or 1,5*2*2m?
i Have irns in cages, a pair per cage 1*0,6*1,8 m.
It would be better in a larger cage but i havent more space for that.
