A piece of my heart died when you took your last breath last night. If only I could go back a day. Yes, my baby, you were a good boy, the ...

Re: Hands off my birds please!

And my 1 IRN was a rescue who came to me manhandled, and has trust issues, without a tail as it was plucked out by the previous idiot who had him. So my real issue is that every step I take forward with him, some ...

Re: Bird not playful

Hi. I made Buster and Piper a toy resembling a basketball hoop from a small hard plastic ring, a piece of wood, and some fake leather. I then strung it with seashells and plastic bottle caps. They absolutely loved the texture of the caps, shells and leather. And loved perching on top of the ring! Th...

Re: Help!! 10 week old IRN going wild!!

Ringnecks like the shoulder. Piper is also ten weeks, she goes straight to the top of my head, and boy can she bite! She especially loves attacking noses atm. I'm working at getting her to stop biting, each ringneck has its own personality but its good to remember that ringnecks need to be constantl...
