Yep . Kai had one wing clipped by the breeder and for the last 8 weeks he seemed ok, I never knew that both should be done. I Grew up with birds as a child but they were all full flight .. and chickens, well you do only clip one with chickens, but they are way different to climbing playing graceful ...

I forgot about the browser popup blocker .. thanks for reminding me .. Beautiful Bird. Are all those sounds from him ?

The breeder I brought Kai from said to me he was about 70% sure he was a boy. He was only 11 months at the time and compared to all the other IRN's he was the one with a rather prominant shadow of grey that looked like it may become a ring. Not sure if that means anything. Since I have had him home,...

same here jen

pout!

Jen, glad you are sounding much more positive and as D&F says post as soon as you get the baby and when you take pics. Can't wait to see

Cheers !

Well all seems well. Thank god .. He is taking solice with me and "very" if even over affectionate, I love him. He actually seems to stay on my hand better now and only goes to my shoulder when I put him there, maybe its the clip or maybe still scared, but once he is on my shoulder he snuggles up re...

The Vet wanted me to talk to him nicely to keep him somewhat calm, so he well and truely associated the whole ordeal with me. Kai has woken up from his nap and he is acting so quiet and withdrawn. He is eating and drinking, he has stepped up to me and kissed me, but walks quietly away from me and th...

Close the Gates !!!

Man the cannons !!!

I'm right along side of you

OMG! First time at the vet. I think that was more stressful on me than on Kai. He is back in his mansion sleeping and I have a sudden headache. Stress related no doubt. You should have seen him defend himslef. What a warrior. I might join Kai in the rest thing he is doing. Cheers ! Andrea (Angie)

Yep us too, Kai is booked in at our Vet for a 3pm today, clip and consultation. He will have balance back in his life

Thanks guys !!

Cheers!

Seems its time for a trip to the vet for Kai. m noted from this clipping article link above:- One Wing Clip: This is one of the worst possible clips for a bird. Trimming the feathers on one wing will prevent the bird from flying. However, it will also throw off the bird’s balance, resulting in a mor...

The breeder asked me if I wanted him clipped and thats what they did ?? is it wrong I wonder .. ?

omg ! dat is so cute with daddy, makes ya heart melt.

Rather Interesting. m I learnt that Ringnecks recognise colour and especially as youngsters hate the colour red. But as they grow can learn to tolerate it. Most of my clothes are red and even in the pics I posted on kai and myself on the photo forum I am wearing red. I wonder if that is why he is ve...

big grinz again !

Arvo is short for afternoon and mozzy is short for Mosquito Fish and Chips may be brittish but "spittin chips" is aussie.

Well Kai is almost 13 months old (on the 11th) and that was his second time playing in the water. It took me many sessions (on different days) of just being patient and splashing my hand around in the bowl before he got up the curiosity and courage to come over and take a look. It seemed that the fi...

absolutely beautiful ! is all I can say .. so beautiful !

Andrea (Angie)

<action>: smiles proudly

Wow taking a closer look at the pics online, the camera seems to pick up alot of green I dont really notice with the eye, I guess because of the flash and also that it catches a still of him with all his feathers open and out, showing more underneath colour. I am going to email the breeders and find...

Hiya, Just a series of pictures I took the last day or two. Wanted to share with you .. But ssshhh!! .. don't let kai know I put the butt shot in and anyone with Fem Ringies on their shoulders right now, cover their eyes, coz my Kai is one hunky little blue stud. ------------------------------- http...

That was one of the funniest things, when I had a month in florida, everywhere they took me, family functions, even in the keys at sloppy joes and hogsbreath, people would stop me mid sentence and ask me "What in gods name did you just say ?". LOL Do you know, most Americans don't understand our ter...

Welcome enmitygauged and balfi

All here sharing and caring

Cheers !

Andrea (Angie)

chuckling here ! .. sorry SK I had to chuckle at what Mikaela said

Andrea (Angie)

wohoo.. appreciation is always a good thing to get

.. and to give .. I Love this place and all in it

Andrea (Angie)

All are different, Kai stood out from his sibbling birds when I went to choose him from the breeders. He was the only one to come to the side of the cage and nibble me gently. There were some that came and bit at me, some flew to the trainer and took treats from him and others that hid in the corner...

Awww what a little darlin , congrats on the new one Bryan

Andrea (Angie)

And what is wrong with reckon ? << puts her hands on her hips, flicks her hair back and glares, waiting for an answer.

Steve Irwin is a character and a half thats for sure, funny, but Hot ? Must be the accent or something

Cheers!

Andrea (Angie)

welcome to the boards.

Andrea (Angie)

Jim (thats my husband), reckons the caption to one of the "birthday pics" posted earlier, should be.. "ok who did number 1 on my cake ?"

and the ones of D in the grass posted earlier too, should be:- "But officer, honestly!, its not my grass !"

lmao.. I just showed my husband the pics and he reckons:-

1. Is that an Eagle ??

2. He went .. that a way !

Andrea (Angie)

So the things you know he loves you only keep for rewards or do you feed it to him other times aswell ? sorry if this is a naive question, but I tend to want to spoil kai with all his favortie stuff all the time, I feel like he might miss out on some nourishment if I keep the favorites from him.

lmao @ D and F

Get me off this thing NOW !!

Very clever !

As a matter of interest .. what are the treats everyone uses to reward their IRN's, I bet they are all different, out of interest I would love to know them.

Andrea (Angie)

Melika I was going to say something similar to the first one for that.. it was going to be : Ahoy me maties! .. anyone seen my vessel and my captains hat is missing too . We are all just great minds huh!

Ok I just had to do this, I hope nobody takes offence and God forgives me:-

Photo 1: "Yodaleeeehhiiiihooooooooo!"

Photo 2: "Oh! I'm so glad you called, what are you wearing baby ?" - (in a soft and sensual voice)

Cheers !

Andrea (Angie)

Mikaela .. click on this weblink below, its a direct link to kalles page from the link that mia had under the tiny pic.

awww! Happy Birthday Datsun I should have taken pics of kai when he turned one (11th October). I really need to steel the camera off hubby alot more. Kai had his first birthday on the same day as my mums so he shared it with her, treats and a new toy for him too. I just love your pics and your capti...

When I search life expectancy of lovebirds on the net, it comes up with genrally 15 years but can, in some instances, live past this and as long as 30. With the Tiel everything I find on the net says either 15 - 20 years or 25- 30 .. From experience I would say the later, Locco definately was 28 yea...

Scarlet: I can see the difference between the blue and silver in the post above "Here is a Blue and a Silver" , so he would be able to tell how many he has. If you cannot see the colour maybe its your monitor colours or brightness/contrast ??

Cheers
