I am soo relieved you have figured out what has sent Rosco off kilter. Hopefully he will soon forget and start responding to you again. Animals are such sensitive wee souls are'nt they?.

sanjays mummi

Hi Ellie, funny you should say that. We were on the bus home today when an acquaintance showed us a snap of her pooch, I reciprocated by showing her Sanjays mugshot which I have on my phone. Well, after asking his name and age she said "aww, I bet you baby him do'nt you?", we just burst ou...

sanjays mummi

Oh dear!, Sanjay has had his thuggee moments in the past, but never on that scale. Something has put Rosco off kilter. Foraging for food definitely helps. I know all species of parrot are fickle, love you to bits one minute and go right off you the next, but I can understand why you are so upset, th...

Hi Ellie, hubby & I spent a very enjoyable time yesterday watching you interact with janey and charlie on Youtube. It stands to reason that your hubby is as understanding of janey as you are.

sanjays mummi

Firstly, ignore bad behaviour and do'nt try and pick him up, do'nt even make eye contact. If he is being loveable reward him and try to approach him, otherwise teach him that naughty behavior gets him nowhere.

sanjays mummi

Wonderful news about your grey!. Shame about your IRNs' tho'. As to moulting, Sanjay has just replumed. I really can't praise "feather up" too highly. It really does make a difference.

sanjays mummi

Ah, well..., back to the drawing board.

sanjays mummi

I should think zinc oxide topped with Hammerite would be extremely toxic, and other than that there is no solution. Sorry.

sanjays mummi

I read somewhere that grape seeds contain something which prevents and stops feather plucking. Sanjay actually prefers the big seedy grapes to the smaller seedless variety. Look for "Globe" and similar varieties, but do'nt let him eat them all the time, he needs variety.

sanjays mummi

Hi Ellie, I think Janey is attacking her reflection in your hubbys glasses, and it is nothing personal. Animals have no sense of self, so as far as Janey is concerned your hubby has another little Janey perched on his nose. Lol!//

sanjays mummi

Sounds like territorial agression to me, try moving his cage to a different part of the room or another room for a while. Attacking toys is something they do, Sanjay loves beating his toys up!.

sanjays mummi

Aww! Bless!, and such a cheeky attitude, as if to say "are'nt I a clever girl?".

sanjays mummi

Sanjay used to chew his talons when I first had him, but stopped after a while and has'nt done it since. I wondered if it was boredom and/or stress. His cessation coincided with learning to forage and a bigger cage he could actually fly around in.

sanjays mummi

That IS good news, where there 's a will, theres a way.

sanjays mummi

Sanjay is mega territorial about his cage, so we always say "are you coming out?, come on then".Over a period of time he came to understand what it means, and now he obliges every time, we have free reign to clean his cage and put his fresh rations in. Sometimes, in fact, more often than n...

sanjays mummi

What a brilliant story!. Every newbie should read and take heart from. Well done you!.

sanjays mummi

Sanjay has a huge cage, so we bought a king size black sheet, it's cotton as our flat is centrally heated in winter, it's easy to wash and lets air circulate.

sanjays mummi

Give him a bit of space!, he must feel really "got at" not to mention confused. As for the guy who struck him, I would have been absolutely furious, "spitting feathers" as we say in the uk. Let your bird get over the trauma and treat him gently and quietly.

sanjays mummi

Absolutely!, animals often "angst" bite. A good way to test if an animal is stressed is to offer a treat. An anxious animal will refuse point blank. Yesterday I was sharing my yogurt with Sannay when the Doberman across the road started barking,, Sanjay stopped eating and froze. Once the b...

sanjays mummi

When I got Sanjay at 8 wks, he was my first IRN. I spent weeks waiting to hear what his call sounded like!. Now there are times like trying to listen to the news when he can be a little too vocal!. Sanjay does the "pew pew" toon, I thought he was sniping at the birds in his garden. (Joke).

sanjays mummi

By coincidence, an advisor in this months "parrots" magazine has also put IRNs in a negative light,, stating they are aviary birds and do not make good pets. And this is a so called "expert"!./

sanjays mummi

Look ok to me. Sanjays sire was lutino and his dam blue, he has a lot of lutino, including a wee dot of yellow on the back of his head. His new plumage is vibrant, handsome lad!.

sanjays mummi

Sanjay prefers fruit and veg with the addition of walnuts and roasted peanuts in their shells. I thread whole large chilli peppers on to bamboo skewers with a peg at the base to stop them sliding off, and hang them up for him to forage for the seeds, and do the same with fruit. He also has sweetcorn...

sanjays mummi

We had Sanjays cage in our west facing bay window, on the north side. He was noisy answering the wild birds and managed to splatter food on the curtains etc, so we moved him into the al alcove. He is much quieter and interacts with us more.

sanjays mummi

Perching on one leg indicates good health and normal behaviour. Yawning is their way of "popping" their eardrums. And a sleeping chickster is a growing chickster.

sanjays mummi

He is still a chickster at 1yr, and Sanjay barely spoke at that age, I think they have to build up confidence first. Are you and your family repeating words to him? I have found with Sanjay he will say something, and just when you think he's forgotten it he comes out with it again, he is 2 yrs. Do'n...

sanjays mummi

Ok, Sanjay does'nt say much human speak, but he always starts the day with "Wot? Wot?" When his cover comes off. Then he joins us for brekkie, usually a morsel of boiled egg or sliver of fruit accompanied by "yum yum", though it comes out "'um um", it seems to put him i...

sanjays mummi

Sounds as though it is linked to wing clipping. Personally I do'nt agree with it, but I would not give a clipped bird the opportunity to fly and then have him clipped again.

sanjays mummi

Do all IRNs love music like Sanjay does?, he chortles along to anything with a beat, and whistled toons really float his boat. He listens too, and then not long after he gives us a few bars. In fact he prefers this to talking.

sanjays mummi

Sanjay did'nt move around much at first, he just sat and took everything in. Do'nt isolate Beany, you are his new flock and he needs to get used to you all.

sanjays mummi

Wow!,how lucky are you!. Beany is a fortunate little chickster too. I wish you both all the very best for the future.

sanjays mummi

I left sanjay to settle in for a few days. I sat beside his cage and talked to him, sang nursery rhymes, and moved slowly and quietly when i cleaned the cage and put fresh food and water in the cage. Your chickster could be angst biting.

sanjays mummi

Sanjay does'nt appear to drink much, although he does love splashing about in his water bowl. They do get fluids from the juices in their fresh fruit and veggies. I only give sanjay a vitamin and mineral supplement, in the form of "feather up" when he is moulting, with a food containing pa...

sanjays mummi

Take them to a vet.

sanjays mummi

Personally, i waited a couple of weeks before cleaning sanjays cage without him in situ. I wanted him to settle in and get used to his surroundings first. I also wanted him to get used to having fairly close contact with me and his daddi.

sanjays mummi

Quietly, slowly, talking quietly and maybe singing softly. That is how i started with sanjay. I let my hands linger so he would realise i was'nt going to try and grab him. Taming is ongoing, as i refuse to have his wings clipped, but it was'nt long before he would accept food from my hand, "kis...

sanjays mummi

All animals can be xxx!. It is natural ie allowed by nature. I recently watched a programme of outtakes from wildlife documentaries, outtakes because of xxx behaviour. In your case only time will tell, it could just due to puberty.

sanjays mummi

Sanjay would not eat certain foods as a chickster, but as he matured his tastes changed. I spear his peppers and fruit on bamboo skewers and hang them up. Also his sweetcorn cobs and karelia. In one bowl i put half a small melon or slice of papaya and he has a dish of unshelled roasted peanuts and s...

sanjays mummi

That is a brilliant plan, you are so pro active!. Instead of just moving her toys, how about treating her to a new one? It does'nt have to be expensive. I swap sanjays toys every few days, he is moulting at the mo and looks really motheaten!, i have him on plumage enhancer and feather up. It seems t...

sanjays mummi

Maybe it would be better to wait until you get your own place, that, of course will depend on whether your landlord
Allows pets, some will allow birds or fish, but irn's can be very vocal. All good things come to those who wait.

sanjays mummi

Excellent. Very pleased to hear it. Now you just need the opportunity to prove yourself.

sanjays mummi

O, why wo'nt your mum allow you to have a bird?, is it because,as with any pet it's a huge commitment? You are looking at a 20 to 30 yr commitment. Is your mum the one who will be babysitting when you go on trips? Will she be expected to pay for food and vet bills?. Who will clean up after your bird...

sanjays mummi

Well said!, i coul'dnt agree more.

sanjays mummi

I had this problem when sanjay had his nursery cage, he loathed going back in, i would hang his fruit skewers inside to tempt him and he just tried to get at them from outside the cage. Towelling is not an option in an edwardian house with 12 ft high ceilings and a cheeky bird perched on the chandel...

sanjays mummi

I know i am going slightly off subje t but please bear with me, we had two elderly gsd bitches who both had strokes which they survived. They too had lopsided heads afterwards and loss of appetite, but they both made a full recovery. It takes time and patience. They went on to live to 15 and 16 yrs ...

sanjays mummi

When we got sanjay he was in a nursery cage, it had a dome roof which opened. About 10 months later we bought a liberta discovery corner cage, 157x93cm, but we felt it just was'nt enough because he could'nt fly around in it. Now, he has a liberta raleigh corner cage, at 183x110x100cms it is his cast...

sanjays mummi

Wow, what a fascinating read, and so many likeminded folk. I have viewed the youtube videos and hugely entertaining they are. But i want my wee sanjay to do things on his terms, and take all the time he needs. I do'nt see the need for cuddling unless it is something he asks for. We were dog people f...

sanjays mummi

It depends on what "full grown" you mean, sanjay was 16 ins long at about or just over a year old, but the males do'nt develop their collar etc until they are between 2 and 3 years of age. I am really looking forward to sanjay getting his,

sanjays mummi

When i got him sanjay was 8 weeks old. His initial hand shyness soon became blatant cheek, when he hissed at me i would reply with a "raspberry", one day i glanced into his nursery cage and exclaimed "look at the tut in your cage!" He promptly replied with a long loud "raspb...

sanjays mummi

I have a 2yr old irn called "sanjay". He was aviary hatched and parent reared, and i refuse to have his wings clipped. Sanjay's favourite hobby is eating and if he can forage for food so much the better. He whistles "colonel bogey" and shaun the sheep theme, he can be quite fickl...
