Hi We went to the Stafford Bird show UK . WOW Its on again later on in the year and also a Parrot one in October I think . There was money passing hands left , right and centre ! Today I have been out shopping to buy some bits to make my birds some toys , going to copy a few things I saw , mainly pr...

Tried to upload photo but it says the board attachment quota has been reached , whats that ?

We went to a bird show today and there was hardly any ringnecks , in fact there were 8 in total , the rest were small aviary birds . We have seen every colour of bird you can imagine and what bargains to be had . Toys half price , cages at cost price (like the price you would pay for a good second h...

Hi , we do use treats and Charlie takes it and throws it away , Perdy hangs upside down on her perch if you go anywhere near her . Funny but frustrating when we know how good they were when we were off work . They aren't moulting , we are in the cold cold UK and they need their feathers . We come ho...

We had a week off work so we thought we would concentrate on taming the birds . We spent time with each of them (there's 2 of them ) and they were coming along great . Charlie was actually hopping onto Chris's finger willingly and we thought we were well on the way to cracking it . Perdy was a bit m...

If you knew how many times I've tried , digital cameras dont take a photo straight away do they , I just had to click away til I got what I wanted

Perdy spends lots of time preening , she never looks any better . Cant wait for her to lose her chick fluff !

Charlie our blue baby boy

Finally seemed to have got our first photo on here , but yet to see the size !!!

Our female is quite young , under a year but probably nearly a year . She has on her throat grey fluffy under feathers , they look scruffy . Are they baby bird feathers still or moulting ? Her green feathers are covering them but the patch is underlying , about 2.5cm square . She is a lovely looking...

We totally agree with the wing clipping . We were quite reluctant to go down that road as we felt sorry for them , taking their flight away . But how wrong can you be ? We clipped our birds and left them to settle for a week then started stick training and in the same day had them getting onto our f...

Charlie and Perdy , first week in their new home

Hello The birds are settling in well thanks . We clipped their wings last Sunday and then gave them a week to settle again , this week we have a week off work and have started stick training and all seems to be going well . We even had them climbing onto our arms but they soon got off again . We put...

What do they look like ? What colour are they ? What made you look ? Obviously itching but what else ?
We've had our birds a month now and they do scratch now and again ! I have always wondered !!!

Yippee ! They're eating their veggies . I read a bit on a parrot website and the girl on there said she gave her birds veggies in the morning and then early evening took it out and put their seed in . The idea was to make the birds hungry so that they had to eat their veg , we did it for one day and...

Thanks for all your hints and tips . Melikka , thanks for pointing me in direction of website for parrot recipes , found some good ones that I will be making over the weekend , at least some if not most of them can go in the freezer . If they dont like them this time round they may like them in the ...

Birdie bread ? Recipe ? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeese . x x x

We're not gonna give up ! I've tried them with corn and that was a no go , will try peas and beans and see how we go . Donna , how do you make your birdie bread (if its not a trade secret ! ha ha ) They are suppose to eat it raw .....right ? Its not cooked in the wild is it ha ha ? I guess its all a...

We cant get our birds to eat their greens . We've tried carrots , sprouts , turnip , cucumber , yellow pepper , cooked sweet potatoe and apparently these are all foods they love ! They love tangerines , so we've not given them any once we noticed them not eating anything else . They wont even eat ap...

Can someone guide me through it please ?
Thanks

We have bought 2 IRN's and had them a week now , they are aviary bred and therefore had no/little contact with people . They are both under 10 months old . We have managed in week to get them off the roof of their cage (where they hung on with all their life) to letting us near the cage without bolt...

We are in merry old England and new to all this . We have two IRN's , one is Charlie (blue) at 10 months old and Perdy(green) is about 4-5 months old . Charlie has had DNA and is a proven male and Perdy ! Well who knows , we were told she had to be female because of her colouring . We just dont know...
