thanks guys ... i never clipped the wings cause i knew flying was their best form of exercise but i am slowing realising that this could be a major factor in the rebellion. For a IRN who has never been clipped - what kind of reaction should i expect? Will my IRN totally freak out that after 2 yrs he...

But he/she is more interesting attacking various things around the houses. The first obsession was the garbage bin -...

He sounds like a chicken!

My Jayjay has been doing this for a while and i dont know what it is. He arches his head up and his tail and starts to make this clucking sound and his eyes start going all white. He sounds like a chicken and we joke that my parrot is confused :D but does anyone know why he does it?

hi..

thank you so much for your replies!! It did only start not long ago and is just getting worse. Any toys that are in the cage he gets quite aggressive with and he has developed an obsession with my bin in the last week where he gets quite aggressive with that also. He does have little moments when he...
