Hello people i hope all of you are great!!! well like maybe some of you have red in my other post i have two IRN they are kiwi and daikiri, daikiri is gray and kiwi is green well something more like a light green i am not sure why he/she does not has the strong green i could see in the pics here at the site anyway he/she is adorable!!!!; now both of them are eating some fruit and vegetables once or twice a week it was so hard to introduce them to the fruit or vegetables and they does not eat it for two days in a row, with the seed diet well now they are eating all the seeds and i am mixing it with pennuts and they are not selecting only the sunflowew seed like they used to do!!!
well now the taming process is my consern how i do that? well they only have two months with me and they come from a very abussive trader, daikiri is somewhere beteween the 7 to 10 months (i am assuming this because the peak coloration he/she started to change the color here at my home) and kiwi is younger (the peak is red without sings of any change); i have had some progress with the taming process now they dont fly like crazies when i put some food or chage the water like they used to do, if i am in the same room they continue doing whatever they are doing, not like before that they just go to one side of the cage and be there like a statues all the time that i was near to them; but it seems like that its all; Kiwi is a little bit traumaticed because when he/she came to my home i had a blood feather problem and something like 2 weeks ago my maid scars him/her a lot trying to change the water (a very long story but kiwi had a stressfull day) now she know that i am the only one that change their water; anyway that is all; they dont let me to go closer to them or anything is like they are going to allow me to be in the same room and change the water or food and that is all i know two months is a very short time but i was thinking i had a lot progress with the diet and been allowed to place my hands inside the cage and now there is nothing else well any recomendation how to make more steps in the taming process is going to be apreciated, by the way the food is not making any difference i offer them sunflower seed (because that is the only thing they know as a food when the came in first time) beteween the cage bars in every day basis but they seem to be scared about my offer and they does not show any intentions to go and take them, so any help is going to be great!!! thanks a lot people!!!!!
my other consern is about the behavior; for some reason kiwi looks bigger than daikiri, is just an ilution because if they are side by side they are the same; but i dont know for some reason kiwi looks bigger like with more muscles more back i dont know how to explain it, and daikiri looks more chobby and shorter; since they come to my home kiwi tended to be more active than daikiri, daikiri is like more calm and relax and kiwi he/she loves to move around and jump the cage all the time like he/she has endless energy; but from time to time i could see some agresive behavior from daikiri to kiwi, for example daikiri is playing with a toy and kiwi tries to play with it too then daikiri becomes agressive his/her eyes pin and He/she open his/her peak and try to bite kiwis and make some noice like a very mad he/she is very mad, kiwi just move away and that is all but from time to time kiwi answer the agression with some agression their peaks touchs each others and it looks a very hard fight (like they push each others peaks) ; that only take place for a few seconds one or two and they lost interst in the fight and they life continues like nothing; but i am afraid what if the agressiong will apper more often? what if the agression goes harder and harder and they will damage each other? and what is going on at the 2 years? are they going to be very agressive at that age with them? i love to have them in the same cage they are happy the 99% of the time but i am afraid about that 1% of time... so what i am asking is if you guys know if the agressiong stays at that point or it could increase with the time? specailly at the two years when i know they are going to be agressive because the bluffing stage i really dont want to separate them because i am not at home more than 4 hours so they are going to be alone but this is my consern too because i am not going to see if something happens too!!!acording to my experince with amazons and lovebirds that agression stays at that point (when i was a child my mom grows amazons and love birds in fact my old lady still has two lovebirds) but amazons and love birds does not have a bluffering stage and these are my first birds by my own at my home so i am so that is why i am a very worry dad!!! lol
thanks for the help people
