But I'm back! Adopting a green male ringie, Jamie, from a rescue. He is a bit stand-offish, but not bad at all. Has a little bit of a hand phobia, but I'm pretty sure we can work through it! He will join my flock, hopefully, next weekend. He goes to the vet for a psittacosis test. Hopefully all goes...

Hi all! I'm Missi. I used to frequent these boards last year when I still had my male IRN, Baby (see sig). If you want to know what happened to him, my story should still be in the rainbow bridge forum. My boyfriend and I are on the look out for a male Alexandrine or male IRN in the local birdie res...

I just got a message from Dani stating that Aggie passed away, I believe she said this past Thursday. Aggie had started eating less and less, so Dani took her to the vet. The vet said they didn't see anything wrong with her, however, kept her overnight for obvervation. Dani brought her home Thursday...

Always remember to keep the bird's very best interest at hand. Top priority. With that, I'm done with this thread

xo Missi

Oh man, I didn't see any ekkies in it....well I did see one on the centerfold. I noticed there was an Alexandrine model for the psittacula genus on the poster. That's okay, though, because I LOVE Alex's

Would you just look at that face!! Awwwww....

Yes, what Jeremy said. I have a 6 month old that was parent raised. Hell to tame!

If it's the Feather Tether harness, return it. It's a piece of crap. Google the Aviator Haress and buy that one. Easy to get on, comfortable, no metal hooks or clasps.

AWWWWW!! *Peek-A-Bird!* I love that lil babyyyy *hearts in eyes* Thanks soooo much for keeping us updated! Can't wait to see what comes next!

xo Missi

Thanks! I work great with a lot of adult birds as well Sasha's just an overly difficult student right now We, at the Aviary, are the biggest drop off site for unwanted adult birds in the area. When people don't want it any more because it screams or they don't have enough time for it, we get them. W...

The December or January issue??

hehe thanks Gwennie! If you loved that one, you should have seen her face this morning with minced veggies covering her whole beak!!

I am working with Sasha for a few more weeks. Yesterday, one of the owners of the Aviary taught me how she used to tame wild caught parrots that just came in the a store from the jungle (i.e. greys ad amazons, etc). The other owner said to me, "WHY are you keeping him still??" and looked at me like ...

xo Missi

I don't think you guys are ganging up on me, just concerned. I honestly don't know how to tame a parent raised IRN. I heard it's damn near impossible. I am also not comparing him to Baby what so ever. I knew getting him that he was going to be a big challenge. I have tried to stick traain him with a...

xo Missi

Yes, and trying to be nice

EVERYONE should have a digital camera!

xo Missi

I don't think that being stuck in a cage in my room would be better than him being in an aviary, able to fly, with over 10 other IRNs to socialize with. He's more than likely going back tomorrow. He is terrified. I mean TERRIFIED of humans. Its hard, almost impossible to tame a parent raised and wea...

xo Missi

It has been about 3 weeks he's been at our home. He seems to not be making any progress, he is actually biting us more now. We are using all the tricks in the books to train and tame him but he hasn't even eaten out of our hands. When we finally get him on our finger, he will sit there and look terr...

Oh iao that does sound like a ton of fun!! And a U2! YAY!! Any pics of the festivities for us??? Dani...the camera is slowly coming back to life. It turns on today but then turns off on it's own. It also takes pic but they're all black. Joe seems to think in a couple weeks it'll be okay to use again...

More when I get my new digital camera tomorrow!

................................. *moment of silence*

I accidentially wrapped mine up in the comforter that Jazzy poo'd on today and threw it into the washing machine. It went through the whole cycle....

Yea, I was gonna say....iao can we have some updated pics of Carmen, PLEASE!!

xo Missi

Okay, people need to get their stuff straight. Aviaries are for many birds and cages are only good for one bird. It's terrible that people criticized you for that. Unless they think you should only keep IRN with other IRN and not other bird species. Then I see their point. For an IRN I wouldn't use ...

Please pardon my molting head and scratched up beak, but here are my pics....

Wow...Gilbert is AMAZING!! There's just something so perfect about a male green with him ring!

xo Missi

Do NOT use grit with parrots. Only if the bird is on an all seed diet.

xo Missi

Lovebird

GOOD LUCK! I hope yours behaves better than mine did

xo Missi

Aww they look sooooo sweet

xo Missi

I think it's mainly the beep the camera makes when I go to snap a pic. That throws her off guard. I need to see if I can turn the noise off! Hmm....

xo Missi

The camera is CONSTANTLY around her. She's just a silly lil girl

xo Missi

Oh my goodness that was soooooo cute! That Petsmart reciept looked like mine!!

xo Missi

She stops talking and playing and just does the ekkie stare when I pull the camera out

xo Missi

1 part bleach, 10 parts water, scrub scrub scrub, rinse WELL

Would you look at the lil pumpkin! I just love him *pinches his beak* What a crop!!

He looks like such a sweet heart in that bottom pic

The book Healthy Bird Cookbook is invaluable!

Everything you are feed is good good good. Try to add some veggies like carrots, beans, broccoli though. More vitamins.

Never feed avacado, chocolate, caffeine, too much sugar or too much white flour.

My fids just got Pizza Hut crust

xo Missi

Well I thought the only reason she was talking is because I was playing music loud and she is a "closet talker". Right now, though, she keeps saying, "hewwo??? woawoawoa!" It's sooo cute. My baby has such a cute voice!

Now we're working on "whatcha doin?"

xo Missi

Jasmine is talking!! She told me she loves me! She also says "Hewwooooo! Hewwo woa woa woa" That's her "hello" she also says "mama" Right now she is laughing hysterically! Just sitting at the top of her cage laughing. Sasha is immitating Jasmine identically...I can not tell who is making what noise....

Do they ever show ANY anger? Or will they lay with you like a 'too? A 'too without the noise and HUGE beak? Or no... shooting up the wrong tree? Nothing like a 'too. Normally ekkies don't cuddle but, as usual, we got a special one. Ladies at the Aviary say it's me I make them that way but I just th...

Issues? That's okay, we have them all

I have many an issue with Joe's last ex... Hoebag psycho whore that can't get over him. Anyhow...

I'm a TOTAL dork, I laugh dorky at times and proud of it!

xo Missi

Great set up!

It's okay to keep IRN's in the same cage?

xo Missi

Actually I have all sorts of giggles, chuckles, and laughs!

I'm sorry Mik, maybe I'll add a snort in it next time to switch it up and not make you angry! F*** his ex! Look who he's happy with now! Go girl!!

xo Missi

She rarely stays on him when I'm around. Usually he'll take her from me and sit her on his chest but she'll waddle right back over to her Mama, ruffle up her feathers and snuggle to sleep on me

This was a VERY rare occasion so I said HOLD STILL! BOTH OF YOU! lol and ran and got the camera

xo Missi

xo Missi

No. Do not house an IRN with any other birds. Not even if he seems tame.

Now look who's sleeping

Aww what a sweet heart! I love seeing him grow!
