Well it is still winter here so not hot by any stretch of the imagination! We literally parked outside a hardware store, walked in and bought something and came back out...I would NEVER leave any animal/person locked in a hot car

We took Ricci into town last weekend....first time she has been out apart from a trip to the vets to get wings clipped. She sat on Phils shoulder while he drove and STARED at me with that "im gonna come over there and peck your eyes out" look, which had me huddling up to the door When we got to the ...

Can anyone in Australia tell me where they got their cage from? I am having trouble finding one that is big enough but has small bar spacing

Well, we got Ricci's wings clipped today! She was highly unimpressed - even tried to bite her beloved Phil Anyway, brought her home and tonight had her in computer room and guess what! She stepped up on my hand, first time ever! Except I think I blew it cos later she aws sitting on phils shoulder an...

Sorry if this post reads wrong. I left my sugar at home today. Nothing to coat this with. Not at all Mikaela, I imagine I am sounding exactly like the type of idiot I hate on horse forums I frequent - one that knows nothing! I will get Ricci's wings clipped asap - I appreciate your "firm" advice Wi...

well im still in thought about the whole wing clipping idea, however ricci is getting worse - I now cannot even put hand in cage to change water. Tonight I opened the cupboard whilst she was out and she flew down and purposely bit me hard on the ear which really hurt! She has found a new "spot" on t...

Thanks for the replies everyone, will definetely give the wing clipping some thought....Mikaela your story cracked me up, man that would kill! This may be a silly question, but once you clip a flighted birds wings, the first time they go to fly, what happens? Can they fly at all, or just glide onto ...

Sorry the quality isnt that great - I used a webcam. Also no sound

ok so things are getting serious! I got attacked again this morning, worse than before. I don't let Ricci out of her cage when Phil isn't there, as she won't step up for me and basically hates my guts! However this morning her cage was left open and she got out while I was making breakfast (Phil lea...

Haha I love that "beak of death"

Ricci will mostly let Phil touch scratch her all over, especially when she does the "I love you dance" He can even pick her up most times. I on the otherhand would risk finger amputation if i touched!

I tell ya what, its lucky Ricci likes my OH ALOT cos she sure hates me! ALOT! So far she has drawn blood from my left thumb, given me a blood blister on the my right finger, and flown onto my head and started pecking at me! I basically cannot get near her, she wont step up to me and squawks at me lo...

Haha Dani - good idea! Last night my dad came over, and Ricci stepped straight up onto his finger - if I go near her she bites and looks angry! She is such a flirt! I have decided I would reeeeeeeeaallllly like a male Eclectus, actually I always have wanted one.........alas I found one for sale yest...

Yeah but knowing my luck Phil will end up with two birds! lol
Whats the go with having two? Do most of you have 2? Are they happier with a mate?

Well we have had Ricci for 2 or 3 weeks now and she is going great guns! Well with my partner she is! It seems the better she gets with him the worst she gets with me - she actually drew blood from my finger last night in addition to pecking my head! When she first arrived she wouldnt step or even g...

Thanks for replying Dani! She is so funny when she does it! given that she only does it to my partner, is it an I love you kinda thing?

We have named her Ricci, as that seems to sound like what she says mostly! She seems to be settling in really well...I am still going to try and find her owner but im not that hopeful! My partner is particularly enamoured with her and vice versa - she won't have a bar of me, its all about him! lol W...

Thanks Dani! I was getting worried! Ok next question! She does this head rolling thing - almost twisting her head around 180 degrees! What that about?

Thanks for all the help guys! My name is Nerelie and I'm from Melbourne, Australia! I havent had a chance to put up any flyers, but hopefully I can find the owner as I am sure she is being missed as she is quite a character. Has gotten a lot more chatty in the last day or so, and also loves a good s...

Hi everyone, I'm a vet nurse, and someone bought in a bird they found last week - apparently just flew up and sat on her shoulder!! Anyway, I have bought it home, pending finding the owner. I am oretty sure its an IRN - I have included photos below! Any help would be appreciated as I know nothing ab...
