our IRN Ollie has just started to talk said Thankyou last night but she sits on my shoulder when i let the dogs in each morning and i,m waiting for her to say Sit to them, Ollie is very curious about the dogs we have 2 staffys, i caught her once playing with the name tag of King our male dog, whist ...

definitely the smart one but then im biased as Ollie is a lutino. She's now nearly 9 months old and we've been trying to get her to talk by constantly using the same phrases over and over to her when shes in a chatty mood and shes been trying to imitate now for a couple of months last night break th...

to mattcoffs my advice would be to get the aviator harness slightly more expensive than others but i reckon the best, i tried doing as the dvd suggested and was patient but was taking too long so decided to go for it and put it on ollie, this tactic worked fine for her and me might not do so for oth...

my irn is now 7months old and i started stroking her from her head to her neck, we got her at 10weeks old, as her trust in me has grown i can now stroke her all the way down her back to her tail, her tummy and now under her wings she will now lift a wing for a gentle little tickle. she now likes nec...

Hi Can someone please help me in how to upload a photo of my IRN i have a flickr account but each time i try to upload one here i get a red message saying it looks too spammy, i've noticed people with only 7 posts have pictures up so i dont think its because i'm only up to 15 Any suggestions would b...

Hi Our IRN preens a lot and scratched a lot when we first got her maybe it was coming from the pet shop environment certainly eased with baths we introduced her to the shower and now shower with her every other day shes 6.5 months old. She will now start screeching and opening her wings when she hea...

Hi Ellie Its been a month since i last posted about the aviator harness but have now got the harness on twice only taken a month of getting her used to putting her head thru the head loop and pulling it back out bribery with almond slivers worked wonders this week i just went for it she fidgeted a b...

Hi when we first got our lutino ringneck she had a patchy beak, did the same you have and came on here for help, vaseline was the suggestion i got and it worked just a little put on her beak once a day fixed the problem really quickly, I also give her a cod liver capsule well the inside squeezed out...

Hi Ellie We've just got the aviator harness and have spent the weekend watching the dvd and other posts on utube. Ollie is 5 months now and very responsive to what ever we show her. Love your video of yours playing basketball by the way. Shes not bad at allowing us to handle her esp my husband hence...

Hi i have a 20week old lutino IRN who we got at 10weeks have heard about not putting on your shoulder but she was used to it in the pet store and we have continued when she got a bit stroppy we just told her no and put her on the ground and stood over her when she settled we picked her up again this...

Our IRN Ollie is about 20weeks old now we got HER (we think) when she was 10 weeks old shes quite social but also suffers from cage rage. Its her territory so we dont invade her space until shes ready, after 10 weeks we just open the door now and if shes happy for us to put our hands in to get her s...

We are new to bir...
