Hey Elizabeth, I'm an aussie and I keep my IRN's in cages in the living room. I would LOVE to one day have a avary outside with breeding birds. But I live in a 3rd story unit at the moment. There is nothing wrong with keeping pet birds in avaries outside. I think the fresh air and 'natural' sounds a...

More fellow aussies! Welcome, I'm new here too and I think you'll find the people here are very helpfull and enthusiastic about their Ringnecks! Welcome to the world Charlie!

How old is Prinny? I was always calling Gilbert a HIM when he was a bub and it turned out to be true. But I'm not sure about Yoda. I'm hoping male so I dont have mating IRN's And I'm not ready to be a grandma yet! Do male and female IRN's have different personalities/habits? Gilbert sat on his new s...

No worries Kateykat. I'll have a ring around some pet stores down here in Melbourne on Monday. My mother was picking up some seed on the way to my place a few weeks back and asked the pet store staff about pellets. They told her that changing Gilbert over to pellets wouldnt be best for him because h...

Hehe.. I only just recently introduced brocolli to Gilbert because he was 'fed up' with carrots and celery. Yoda is loving munching on brocolli.. Myself I dont blame Lou for hating it, I cant stand the stuff! eww. Its the only vegie I dont eat. Maybe I should of been watching Cats fids! But my babie...

Haha.. I think you would call a hot chip.. Fries? I forget sometimes we dont all speak aussie slang.

Gilbert starts pacing up and down his cage for making lil 'hmm..hmm' sounds if he sees a hot chip. I give in too easy and cool one down for him. Me bad

Yoda is now eating apple and brocolli. Trying to pick them up with he/she's tallons. Aww. I just love it when they are in their learning stages!

I have Yoda's Cage half covered at the moment so he/she has somewhere to hide if too stressed. But Yoda's settling in just fine now. Eating some apple, brocolli, and kicking seed all over the floor. I cant wait till he/she starts talking. Louis is GORGEOUS! you must be proud! What a lil munchkin.

I love their 'evil' looks.. its soo cute hehe.

My Gilbert started moulting a few weeks ago. Nows he's a scruffy butt! Now i have to remember what time of the year he starts being 'hormonal' AND 'moulting'. I had some trouble with his hormonal evil mood swings a few months ago. But he seems fine now that hes moulting. Wants more cuddles! I was wo...

Thanx chickies, I sometimes think Gilbert 'plays' with his seed. He likes to pick out the corn and chuck them on the floor to watch them bounce. He does shell everything! even apple! My babies do eat alot of fruit, vegies, pasta and the occasional chicken. Gilbert has taken a liking to chips and im ...

Hi, My Gilbert has always disliked toys. I bought some new toys yesterday and all he seems to do is scream at them and get stressed out. When he was younger he used to unhooked all his toys and throw them on the floor! He has only ever liked one toy only. His beloved toy bell! And will only sleep in...

Thanx Ambros Ive had my baby Yoda for 2 whole days now he/she had some carrot, brocolli, and oats.. I tried feeding my baby Yoda some seeds today.. has just started eating them. Just today Yoda started digging in the seed tray like a dog and flicking seed all over the floor by sitting in the tray an...

Me again I need any opinions on seed vs pellets? My IRNs have fruit and vegies in their diets but could I also give them birdy vitamin suppliments? Ive never seen pellets in the shops down here and I've heard they are quite expensive as I'm only a student at the moment. Everyone seems to be on pelle...

Hi chickies! Lil worried at the moment. 2 days ago I brought my new baby home from the breeder. I was told he/she is weaned. But lil Yoda hasnt eaten yet! I tried hand feeding some mashed vegies and oats. Yoda took one bite and threw the rest all over me. Im not that bad of a cook am I? He/she has s...

Thanx Chickaholics! hehe.. Yoda is being a brave lil birdy. It must be traumatic for the poor thing. He/she doesnt know it yet, but its going to be very spoiled! shhh
Gilbert has just molted. He looks so scruffy now.
Hope to have more photos soon to show off.

Thanyou soo much chickies! I caught lil Yoda playing with his new toys thismorning.. he/she is settling in yay! But still not used to the environment yet.. It takes time Cant wait to find out if my baby is a boy or girl. Ohhhhh the long wait I think Gilbert is a lil jealous, I feel sibling rivalry ...

Hi new here, These are my babies, Yoda, Blue 2-3 month old IRN, only picked him up from the breeder yesterday, a bit camera shy and stressed about the big move so not a great pic and Gilbert, 6year old green male IRN. He absolutely loves the camera. Hope the pics work http://i114.photobucket.com/alb...

Hi Chickies! My names Lauren, from Melbourne Australia and Ive just brought home my second IRN named Yoda from a breeder. He has just fledged! My lil blue fluffy! Trying to tame he/she at the moment.. but still a little too stressed about the big move Hoping in the next few days Yoda will settle dow...
