Hi Everyone - After much thought, prayer and discussion, we have sold Nikki to a good friend who will take excellent care of her. The problem was the screaming. When we bought her we were told she didn't talk and didn't scream. Well, it turns out she was a terrific talker, which we loved, but also s...

Hi - I cover Nikki with a small cloth that doesn't cover the entire cage. She doesn't like it at all, but she has reluctantly gotten used to it. It does seem to keep her quiet(er) in the morning before I get up. If I don't cover her she will start in screaming at first light. In the summer here, fir...

That photo of me is several years old but it is my favorite.

Hi everybody! This morning while I was uploading photos of Nikki, she said, 'I'm a pretty bird'. It was clear as a bell, distinct, and as far as I know, original. No one has taught her "I'm a..." to my knowledge. I was so impressed I answered, 'Yes, You Are!' Then in the afternoon I went to a meetin...

You have some delightful babies!

Hi - I have uploaded photos of Nikki-bird to photobucket. Now I am ready to get them into the photo forum, but can't figure out how. I don't know how to insert the proper html or whatever code I need to point to them. Can you advise? Linda D in Seattle champing at the bit to show you pretty Nikki!!

HehE! These are funny! Here's my contributions: Nikki - IRN - Um, is it OK for me to say something? SCREAM Um, am I a PRETTY BIRD? SCREAM Um, I wish I could figure out how to say what I want to say. If the world could just hear me, I have ALL the answers!! SCREAM! Piping Pete - Canary - Hey, shut up...

Wow -

What a great job!

I hear what you are saying. I have never had any birds other than a budgie and a Java Rice finch. Nikki is my first parrot. Other than that I have had dogs, and horses my whole life before I became disabled. I do miss the horses from time to time. I have only had her for 2 months. I am SO amazed and...

Hi Neo - Would you please do one for me? My regular email sig is: Linda D in Seattle with Contessa, Miniature Schnauzer Pete, Red/Orange Canary Nikki, Lutino Indian Ring Neck Parrot I have an idea about combining pics of 'Tessa, Pete, and Nikki with a background photo of Seattle's Space Needle. Is t...

Wow! I really enjoyed those videos. Thanks for sharing. I didn't hear a southern accent, where are you located? Nikki is spending the majority of her vocalizations screaming, but she screams less than she did at first. My hope is that she will stop screaming one day soon. I have tried ignoring her,...

Ok-dokey! Thanks a lot, ladies. I guess my problem was that the pic was on my hard drive. I'll scoot on over to photobucket and check it out. Thanks also for the tip about asking for help with the sig. Linda D in Seattle with Contessa - Miniature Schnauzer Pete - Red/Orange Canary Nikki - Lutino Ind...

Hi - I have found out a bit more about my Nikki, Lutino IRN. She was hatched in December of 04, so she is now 15 months old. I found out from Nikki's breeder that she was sent to a person who trained her to step up and talk before she was sold. Nikki's first owners did not do much with her and she s...

Hi there - I am having trouble setting up and avatar. I am trying to use a picture of my Nikki, but I think it is too big. Is there somewhere I can go to find out the size/density restrictions on the photos you all are using? Also, I would like to know how you ladies have made such nice graphic sign...

Thanks! I'll give it a try.

Hi All - I'm new here, just got my first IRN about a month ago. I really enjoy this web site -- I am learning so much! It's fresh asparagus from California/Mexico time here in Washington. We had some for lunch today and I was wondering about the hard ends that you snap off and don't eat. Are they OK...

How fun! And what great pictures!

They are so cute!!

Hi!

I cover Nikki's cage at night. She is getting used to it, I don't think she was ever covered before.

Last night she started sqawking when I hadn't covered her at her usual time -- "Time to go to bed, Mom!"

I also have a canary whom I don't cover.

Hello! Let me introduce myself. My name is Linda. I am 49, I live in Seattle WA with my wonderful husband Bill, (62), two little dogs (Contessa and June Bug), and 2 birds - a Java Rice Finch (Piper) and a Canary (Conolli). I am getting my IRN today!! I am so excited! I have SO much to learn! We live...
