Thanks CM418 i ended up getting a green too!

TomAndGene

They're side by side all day, They're fine when caged or near each other, But once one gets too close the invader gets attacked, Both of them start fights too which makes it difficult to isolate the problem. Maybe it's the fact that i had gene for almost a year before i got rio so now gene's too clo...

TomAndGene

my local pet store had 4 of these for sale 2 weeks before christmas, i would go all the time and let them nibble my finger

they were so sweet but they were all gone by christmas

Wish i could have had all 4 of them haha.

TomAndGene

awwwwwww

awesome

TomAndGene

Aww he looks great! beautiful bird you have there.

TomAndGene

Thanks ellie, no they arent :( It's really sad to me because i try so hard to get them to like each other but they just chase each other, puff up and attack till one of them flies away, I always have to break them up so they dont hurt each other. Ive tried so much to get them to like each other but ...

TomAndGene

Ohh okay, Im not 100% if rio is a male but the breeder insisted he was. And im jealous you have an alexandrine! Do you have any pics!?

TomAndGene

also can anyone tell me if that is his ring coming through? its only been 6-8 months?

TomAndGene

Usually he just lets me do it but this time he was fighting me a bit! I started doing it to him before he even had feathers, He's just used to it now.

Thanks Sub

TomAndGene

does this beak look healthy/normal to you guys?
3-4 months old.

TomAndGene

Some diff pics of him

TomAndGene

Thanks for your kind words subodhhire I've recently got him to stop biting me now, Even though he never bit much out of aggression he would just bite my finger and keep biting harder out of curiosity. He now knows i don't like biting but also knows it has no effect on me when he does decide to bite....

TomAndGene

nawww hahah

TomAndGene

Same for you ellie. Just pm me

TomAndGene

Also, Thanks to sanjays mummi/MissK/fionalouise1989

TomAndGene

Ok cool! thanks a lot ellie. I've had his cage next to genes for a long time so im sure he's learning the basics from her. They even do the exact same chirps and squarks as each other now its quite amazing how similar they are, i can't even tell the difference between them anymore if i can't see who...

TomAndGene

Cheers ellie, what ones sound normal to you? the biting of the feet is was makes me think strongly on the topic.

TomAndGene

Hey guys, 3 and a half months ago i got my baby green Indian ring neck Mario and all was well, i hand fed, raised and weaned him myself. He adapted into a cage just fine and it was his own little house within a few days. He's always done some strange things such as: Eating upside down/Dangling from ...

TomAndGene

Thanks a lot for your reply Mol. My local vet is very inexperienced, at least with birds anyway. Last time i took my bird to get her nails trimmed and her wings clipped she made a pretty big mess of it, Might have been her first bird since veterinary school though, I'll see what my breeder can do - ...

TomAndGene

thanks a lot, I'll give the vet a call and see if i can catch up with the breeder, he's hard to get a hold of.

Tom.

Hi guys i noticed my yellow ring neck gene has her anklet around the lower portion of her leg, towards the joint of the foot, but my other green ring neck rio has his above the "knee" area. Is this a problem or is it a common place to put it? im worried it shimmied up and i didnt notice no...

TomAndGene

Thanks for your reply ellie, very informative. I'll try what you said in those other posts aswell as the supervised play time. It's actually quite strange, Rio is usually the one who snaps first (5week old green irn, not sure of gender) Gene will sit on his cage and clean herself but she only attack...

TomAndGene

Hey i just got my second ring neck, A green one this time. My question is: how do i introduce him to my other irn? I put them cage by cage for 2 weeks, They chirp to each other and eat at the same times etc but if they get close to each other they hiss and attack each other. Could anyone link me to ...

TomAndGene

thanks, you too!

TomAndGene

Heya i got a green IRN baby on saturday, He does the head bobbing with the chirping combo too. I think it's normal. The guy i purchased the bird off said it's completely natural, Just make sure you dont give into the babies eyes and feed him/her too much, 4-5 times a day maximum, If you're feeding f...

Hello can anyone tell me if only males do this kind of dance, Or can females do it too? Im getting a new male ringneck tomorrow and i don't two males, If mines a male i'll wait for a female. Gene shows signs of being male and female so i give up on trying to distinguish the behaviors. http://www.you...

Hello Teresa, Clipping your birds wings is a large part of bird ownership, It's one of the first decisions you make after choosing it :) You have to look at it from your own personal view: Will i want to walk around with the bird outdoors? Will my bird be primarily indoors, etc. Clipping wings is a ...

TomAndGene

The best thing you can do, Although it's very difficult to do - is to show your bird that biting has no effect on you at all. My bird was a biter too, To counter the biting i simply let him bite, Sure they hurt and it was difficult to do, often drawing blood. But now my bird knows that biting is not...

TomAndGene

i haven't noticed any chirping or squealing at all, Just the odd movements hehe

TomAndGene

My IRN Gene, Still unsure of sex, Has been recently doing extremely odd and quite scary looking body movements, I will refer to gene as she to make it easy. Here's some of the things she does. Pins eyes as small as they go Lifts her wings a little bit Moves her head around very slowly (it's almost m...

TomAndGene

Oh wow Ell, Maybe - I didn't even think of that.
Have a look at her cheek, you can only just see it but there is little splodges of black feathers?
Pic is HUUUUUUUUGE

TomAndGene

Hey guys, This morning i was asleep and at about 5:50am my birdy was doing her normal chirping to wake me up. I eventually got up and opened her cage and she flew down to my bed like she normally does in the morning. Now the strange thing is, i fell asleep again on accident :P. When i opened my eyes...

TomAndGene

Hi, My bird was fine when i first got her then she starting getting nippy like you're explaining, I'm not sure if its the bluffing stage or not but the only way i got my bird to stop was to not react at all to the biting. I may be wrong but saying ouch is letting your bird know that she can hurt you...

TomAndGene

thank you for your reply, much appreciated

TomAndGene

I was playing a game and my bird took a sip out of my cup of tea containing tea, milk and sugar. will she be ok?

TomAndGene

i think my birds roughly 5 months now, she never talks clear words, but she does chirp back to me if i pretend to have a conversation, sometimes it sounds like shes trying to say what'cha'doin but i can't really tell.

TomAndGene

aww cute, my bird chewed on a bottle cap for atleast 2 hours before dropping it today, how old ya bird?

TomAndGene

towelling? what's that mean

as in drying him with a towel?

TomAndGene

hide'n'seek

TomAndGene

messy eater here guys.

TomAndGene

free irn, that's great, congrats

TomAndGene

even i was shocked to see an IRN for $80, i went to the markets with the intent of buying a cockatiel for $70, saw gene for $80 and got him instead

TomAndGene

maybe you didn't get ripped off and i got really lucky with an amateur breeder? unless there's something wrong with gene that i don't know about.

TomAndGene

Wow, I got gene for $80 Aud from the markets in my area

TomAndGene

thanks Ellie i'll get some.
