Growing into a beautiful little bird.

pinkdevil

Update on my 5 week old ringie babies.

pinkdevil

Here is a youtube video of a untame IRN. It is listed as 'negative reinforcement' but it is not as in a punishment form. Instead of rewarding with treats of food, toys etc, the bird is rewarded with a different approach. Not sure if this would be any help to you or not. http://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Thanks Ellie. We are not as bad off as were Julie is though. Most of the water has drained away at the house.
But the river has come up partially flooding the local caravan park which had to be evacuated and some main roads are cut off out of town.

pinkdevil

If anyone had of done that to my animals, they would be licking their wounds and running for the hills!!!

pinkdevil

Sooooooooooo cute!!!

pinkdevil

More rain hit here starting late last night and continued for most of the day until the last afternoon storm hit dumping heavy rain. Weather has a flood warning and issued more storms with heavy rain tonight.

Here are a few pic I took between rain.

pinkdevil

If that was one of my dogs, the bird would have been dinner as well.
What a sweet natured little doggy.

pinkdevil

Your little baby looks like he is doing well, well done.

Ellie, Spongies' photo was taken last year I think, so she would have been around 12 months old.

pinkdevil

Some great photos in there. Lovely birds and Yuffie looks like the sweetest little bird ever.

pinkdevil

Hello Sara. Babies always love the curtain rods, don't they!

pinkdevil

Hi Caroline and welcome. Congrats on your new baby. S/he will be not to used to people as it sounds like s/he was not handraised. Although it is not impossible to quieten him/her down, it will take a lot of patience and time to gain trust. There have been a few members on here that have managed to t...

pinkdevil

Welcome imdnt. nice little birdies you have there.

haha, the baby bouncing head thing. I can never understand how they can focus on anything when they do that.

pinkdevil

Hiya and welcome aboard. :) When I give fruit and veg to my birds, I sometimes cut up various small amounts and place it in a bowl, other times I thread onto a fruit kabob and hang it in the cage. One day I may give them peas, diced apple (seeds removed), cooked sweet potato and broccoli, the next d...

The grey (Sputnik) and blue bubs I raised this year, playing with a foraging toy.

Do a search on the forum and see what others have tried to get back with sweet little monster.

pinkdevil

Lots of sweet little faces looking at the camera.

pinkdevil

Thanks TD, and yes, I sure have been waiting awhile for my 'whitey' lol Sorry SCB :oops:.....will get onto it. Been busy with doing 'after the rain' jobs. Cleaning aviary feeders from all the wet seed etc, plus trying to keep ontop of all the other chores. A womans work is never done. :roll: :lol:

pinkdevil

Thanks for the comment on my grey boy.

Breeding season has pretty much finished now.
If you have a large aviary, you may be able to house them together, or you could wait till May/June next year and try introduce the hen with a male then.

pinkdevil

Put some yummy treats in the bowl and a couple of bright coloured foot type toys or small toys that will sit in the bowls easily. That may get their attention, with mine it does anyway. Have you thought about placing it in the loungeroom where the birds are for a few hours to see if they show any at...

pinkdevil

haha, Lily, sounds like you have it all planned with the snow.

I was wondering how you were getting on, Julie. Saw on tv the alert. More rain is predicted to!!

pinkdevil

I would love to see snow falling, not too much though, just the right amount.

So you guys are going to have a white Christmas, while looks like we may have a damp one. Normally our Christmas is celebrated in 40+ °C heat. I would love to see a white Christmas, just once.

pinkdevil

I guess after 1o years of drought, it has finally broken, and in a big way! We have had rain almost daily for over a week now, and close to 8 inches or so. This is the result of that rain...... This is the 'low level' bridge and the road leading to the other side is under water. http://i145.photobuc...

One of my male birds developed his ring at 3 years of age. Another way some birds can be sexed at such an early age is through 'nest sexing' where if the full mutations and splits of the parents are known, the colour of the chicks can determine the sex. For example, I have a grey/ino male and a blue...

Here is the thread on Spongie This is Spongie today... http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r205/pinkdevil_/Spongie%20aka%20Sponge%20Bob-ette/spongie2.jpg As you can see, she looks totally normal. I can not visually tell the difference between Spongie and another ringie. Even if your birds problem is ...

pinkdevil

I think from memory, I had the bracing on for aprox a week or bit longer. Keep an eye on the band that it does not wear the skin on the legs from constant rubbing. That is where a makeup sponge is good as it it very gentle on the skin and can be replaced when dirty. Once the legs start to 'heal' the...

pinkdevil

I was thinking of handraising 2 and leave 2 in the nest for the first time parents to raise. Just see what happens down the track.

pinkdevil

If it smells really bad, maybe you could replace the nesting material with fresh nesting material. I do find the nest does get an odour to it from all the droppings.
Just wondered, has the inside of the nest been wet at all? Maybe there is a bit of sourness or mould?

pinkdevil

I have my brooder set at 25-26°C at the moment as have had a bit of cooler weather come through. Prior to that it was quite warm and the brooder was up to around 28-29°C with no heat source.

pinkdevil

Love the way he has to get in the exact position, a millimeter to the left, up slightly, nope too far, back right.....left foot, no right, no left, ahhhh...PERFECT.....*jump*.

pinkdevil

I would like to introduce you to my 4 latest additions, the Conure quads. :D The last chick hatched either yesterday or the evening prior, and makes it a successful 100% hatch rate. So far mum and bubs doing well. Was concerned about the littlest one not getting any food, but he must be a tough litt...

pinkdevil

Hi John, welcome.

How many do you have and what colour are they?

pinkdevil

Has the splayed leg a recent problem or has it been like that for some time? I had a chick a couple of years ago with splayed leg. I got it early, placed her in a sponge brace and slowly brought the legs together in a normal position. She was only 7 days old though, not 3 weeks. Here is the method I...

pinkdevil

Such lovely photos of your babies.

pinkdevil

That is one placid cat!
I have to lock my cat in her room when I have the birds out, just to be sure and safe. I am sure given half the chance, the cat, (Freebee), would love birdie on the menu when I am not looking.

pinkdevil

Have you thought of trying 'clicker' training?

There are a few videos on youtube to help start you off. I used this method for tricks on a couple of my birds with good results.

I hope Indy has improved for you.

pinkdevil

Just Facey, (facebook), for me.

"Looking forward to following and being followed"
sounds like stalking and being stalked rolled into one.

pinkdevil

Hey Recio, So in genetics it would be violet blue ino but would visually look albino? Is that what you would then call masking? Same as grey blue ino, same as blue ino! Ta Glenn Hi Glenn; That is right. Blue-ino (albino) means that there is not melanin (ino mutation) or psitacine (blue mutation) sy...

hahaha...ok....how about now! ;)

Aprox just over 3 weeks of age.

pinkdevil

I know!! What a clutz

It almost looked like he was thinking about launching himself after his flapping session....but epic fail.

pinkdevil

Love the outdoor shots. Mot of my indoor birds are fully flighted so unless they are in a cage, they do not go outside. I am thinking of harness training my newest baby, (a 'keeper' I bred and am raising), so she can have her wings for indoor flights but still be able to take her outside. Onlything ...

pinkdevil

Welcome aboard Ziggy.

It is hard to try and guess what, if anything, could be wrong with your little one. Is he going through a moult? The best I would suggest is, if you are concerned healthwise about him, take him to a vet for a health check just to be on the safe side.

pinkdevil

Hi to you Fiorella and your new baby Apple. They are sooooo cute when they are little and make those oh-so sweet baby noises. They really know how to melt your heart with just a slight tilt of the head and those big brown eyes look pleadingly for just ONE more treat, or just a FEW more minutes out o...

pinkdevil

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Cute birds you have there. Do not often see pics of moustache parrots.
Are they tame/pets or aviary birds?

pinkdevil

Tested out my new phones video capability and what better subjects as these little guys!!

The 'crew of 3' from Sky and WBoys 2nd clutch. Two blueino girls and a grey chickie.

They are just so adorable at that age.

Hope you get more bubs this breeding season.

pinkdevil

It is amazing just how much different in personality at such a young age they are!!
And I hear you re the letting them go....

pinkdevil

Well...... the colour has been revealed!! :o :shock: ........... .................. ......................... ......................................... .................................................... ..................................................................... ............................

Hey Delboy, you don't 'sound thick' as I had probs loading pic to. :) The photos need to be no larger than 500 KB in size, so if the pics you want to upload are larger, you will need to resize them. Step 1:- Scroll down past the 'repy box' where you will see 'Filename' and 'File comment' on the left...
