im guessing you put the new one into the africans cage.They are very muchly the same as us,we dont like a stranger just coming into our house and making themself at home and neither do most birds. When i get a new aviary bird i catch the bird that is already in the aviary and put it into a smaller c...

mine like to climb and hang off things.I put some of these clips .http://www.adsources.com/catalog/tools/images04/caribiners-composite.jpg they clip over the bars and hang and then i connect them from eachother,they love working out how to get on and off of them and they swing around on them. swings...

julie

Do you want to see if someone around your area would like him? There is a couple of people on here from your country.
are you sure you dont want to keep the little fella? i have both indians and alex and they are both super birds to keep.

julie

He will be itchy with the feathers coming in,now is a good time to get him used to you touching him,try giving him a little scratch around his head and at the base of his neck and rub his beak . There will be flaky stuff that comes of the feathers,this is where the feathers have come out of the shea...

julie

the beak look ok,they get red later on. I mix in some stewed apples or pumpkin ect into the formula so they get a little extra vitamins. Its good that your asking questions,soon you will be able to help others.

looks alex to me.Some breeders cross irn with alexs so there is that chance too. check out the thread i posted (first line) that bird is pretty well feathered and only just has the red coming through.

julie

for the pics i use dropshots,i go to dropshots or other photo hosting sites and click on the pic i want (after its been uploaded to the site) i right click and click properties and copy the image location. come back to this board and paste it into here and then people can click on it and see the pic.

julie

im not quite sure exactly how old mika is in this first pic but you should be able to tell by how much feathers from mine to yours .the next pic down is mika (alex) and spike (irn) they are around the same age and you can see the size difference. http://media5.dropshots.com/photos/60363/20071020/120...

julie

i will have a look for some pics of mika and see when he started getting his red patches.

julie

Its pretty common for the eggs not to hatch with a first time hen.They may not have actually got it right with mating yet.

julie

Thats what some call a rainbow, I think the other name is turquise pallid.

julie

It just shows you how much people really know!you can I know a few people that is full time breeders in SA and its for the love of the birds Mate what is your point? you ask a question and think you know the answer. What would you like us to say "sure pump out as many hybrid birds as you can a...

julie

NO ... especially if you are not an experienced breeder.

julie

he/she sounds pretty normal to me on all counts. it does take a while for them to get used to being in a different place. My young irn and alex both are tame but if they think im going to take them out of the cage they flap around, the alex does it when i try to put him back into the cage too,he eve...

julie

here is a thread with a blue that has just started getting his ring http://www.indianringneck.com/forum/vie ... 559#p73559

julie

I dont have a sound clip either but when i had a pair in quarantine inside the male would do his noises and it sounded like de det deow de det deoow and he would lean in towards her and keep doing it till she paid attention to him. all the other males out in the aviaries would go nuts and the hens l...

julie

i get a clean syringe (without needle) and put some luke warm water in it and squirt it on the part that has food on it then give a gentle wipe over with a cloth.I wouldnt reccomend saturating him though.

julie

some start pretty early and some dont talk at all. I hand raised some that started copying sound at 4 months and started to talk in front of people at around six months now at nine months the one i kept will repeat his and my alexs name when i say it,he says some things that we dont understand yet t...

julie

try talking to him/her before you go to grab from box. maybe have a treat to show him too. when my handraised bub that i kept starts doing this i put my index finger and thumb up and say no,if he lunges i gently push his beak away with my finger and say no.it only took him a couple of times to work ...

julie

my boy eats everything. I have to pierce the skin of things like apples because he will roll it around and chuck it on the ground if he cant work out that he has to bite it first. I give Mika whole apples because it takes him longer to eat it and keeps him occupied for a bit. They love to chew throu...

julie

I had rabbits and guinea pigs in the bottom of my aviary,oscar my male would steal their food and kinda make a game out of it. the only thing is be careful that the guinea pigs dont dig and let the birds out.

julie

man that is quick.

julie

poor things when they moult they look so neglected

my neighbours actually comented about my aviary birds,im glad they did because i would hate for them to have thought something was wrong.

Have i undestand right?

do you mean breed brother and sister together when you say if 2 of these babies breed?

julie

im a shift worker,i go to work as it gets dark. Id say the alarm noises are an alarm clock or similar that your bird has associated with the sun going down.

julie

so let me get this right ...you have at least 2 threads going about the same thing and have people replying in both.

julie

was the person you got her from a shift worker by any chance? My alex was doing alarm clock noises as soon as the lights turned on in the mornings and then the smoke alarm beeps (battery running out).This got old very quick and the alarm clock disappeared and i now use my ph for the alarm.

julie

does Tajj have any signs of red around the ring area. My boy indie's ring started with a tiny red dot at the back. most colors ring starts under the beak and goes around to the back but lutino starts at the back.

julie

Did the person you got the bird from give an indication of how long the son had him/her? and was it previously hand tame?

julie

I have both. I can say they are different but muchly the same. Mika never learnt to bite,he thinks putting his beak on us is biting. He can shred a thick perch in a day but doesnt know how to bite :? He seems to learn new words and sounds very quick and doesnt know how to speak bird, he looks very c...

julie

Thats exactly what you want, you felt right with that particular bird and he/she thinks you are ok too.
Even if you arent try to let him think you are confident handling him.

julie

check out this thread http://www.indianringneck.com/forum/vie ... =4&t=12756

julie

The black between his eyes and cere is a dead giveaway that he is male. Id say he hasnt had a full hard moult yet.House birds live mostly in temperature controlled environments, in winter we have the heater on and in summer the air cond.If the house is always around the same temps it will take longe...

julie

soaking the pellets in juice or water to make it into mush, mix in seeds ect. The idea is that they pick through the mix to get the seeds and things out and eventually start tasting the pellets. gradually the seeds get smaller amounts and they are eating the pellet mix. The mix gets less mushy as yo...

lol so do remotes and pretty muchly everything that is accessable.

julie

He will still need formula, just not as often. When you do give him formula make it a little thicker to keep him going longer. Try putting things like corn kernells and peas ect in a bowl as kaiser&abbey mentioned they play around with it and throw it around ect but they eventually end up eating...

julie

cool. my lot were actually quiet for a change watching alex.

julie

ok i found some of the topic i was looking for http://www.indianringneck.com/forum/vie ... php?t=1902

This was after carrie posted some pics of atticus and some people thought maybe pied but it turned out to be the dreaded feather disease.

julie

I will see if i can find the thread with a members bird that had this condition. I hope we (maddas) are wrong but it didnt have a good outcome.

ok this thread started the topic off, sorry the pics arent visable but the rest can be read.http://www.indianringneck.com/forum/vie ... f=5&t=1367

julie

very cute

my blue baby got stuck with pinky

julie

new members are always welcome but people that are just using this board to put things like watch online movies and spam on here arent.

julie

I dont personally reccomend that they have to be handled everyday, sometimes im just not in the mood for people and i imagine my birds would be the same. To me it sounds like she is bluffing and is acting like mine do when they think im going to put them back in their cages or if they think im going...

julie

I could feel the difference with mine, the fertile ones werent so much heavier but i could tell by the feel.

julie

definately albino. my lutino boy has a green tinge in some light. He also appears to have blue eyes sometimes.

julie

I have both and the only difference i can see is the handraised didnt learn how to bite.

julie

maybe try a smaller perch and hope he catches on. Is he a young bird?

julie

Hello and welcome

wow those lorries on your site are quite stunning
