Because Bhanu is such a bossy cow and Azzy gives in I use a stainless steel bowl for one lot of fruit and veg and a kabob (stainless steel stick with wind on end) for the other. On the kabob I just thread everything on. Apple, carrot, sweetcorn wheels, chillipeppers, asian greens, orange (occaisiona...

I personally don't leave the outer 2 flight feathers 'cos from personal experience my birds have damaged them anyway. This whole thing can be so trying. I've tamed everything from budgies to large Oz cockatoos and by far my biggest challenge has been Coco my sons lutino irn. Just be patient, deal wi...

berrynice

Imported some pacifiers from the states and my irns love them. Coco keeps taking hers up on her perch then dropping it and repeating the same process. Can get a little annoying when u hear bang bang bang for hours. For the Aussies, we will have these available some time in July for u to buy.

berrynice

In reference to me...Bhanu and Azzy have sorted out the dominance issue pretty quickly. No blood, no flying feathers. Bhanu eats first, they have 2 separrate fruit/vegg eating things and Azzy knows when to let Bhanu get to something. These 2 whilst not best mates tolerate each other. Coco is not in ...

berrynice

Gee Kireina that wouldn't happen to be my way of taming a bronco would it? It does take time and sometimes blood. I have the scars to prove it. Jordan's Coco is being an absolute cow (2yo with pmt is the best way to describe her). It's been 2 steps forward, one step back but we are getting there. Bh...

berrynice

Neokireina does mine or supervises. Heh heh. Doesn't charge me either. Isn't that good.

After making the decsion to get Bhanu and before picking her up I nearly changed my mind about getting a ringneck. This site actually convinced me otherwise. Added to the fact that she only has the one foot and I thought 'what am I doing'. I'm so glad that I went with gut instict or I would have mis...

berrynice

Hey another Adelaide person, Neoekeriena and I are Adelaide girls. If you have had experience with galahs then the ringneck shouldn't be too bad. Bhanu was a bronco and has done really well over the past 2 months. She purrs when I scratch her head. Coco is a work in progress and Azzy has emotional i...

berrynice

welcome. Birdman u can say that a few of us might even agree with you (like me mumble mumble) but we'll just ignore your comments re the macaws hehe. When I can get a macaw here in Oz for less then $5000 AUD I'll stop sulking. Again, welcome to the international community of IRN lovers.

berrynice

For the Americans we hav no where near the amount of products available that u do. MYOT does not exist in online stores in Oz. Hopefully this will soon be remedied. Hehe

berrynice

haven't got a happy hut, but Azzt and Bhanu are in the same cage, but I wouldn't put my sons IRN in there due to personality conflicts. I was wondering about the happy hut myself

berrynice

Welcome to the flock. You've probably gathered by now that we all love pictures. This is a great place for advise and getting to know folks.

berrynice

aah aother scandinavian. Welcome. Please put piccies of the Newfoundland on. They are my favourite dog. Your Engish is fine, just check if you're unsure of things that are said/written.

berrynice

Welcome to the flock. Can't wait to watch the babies as they grow up.

berrynice

ok, explain this to me. My birds will grudgingly eat pellets, however if I make them into bicuits with organic honey, few nuts, craisins and a sprinkle of seed they dive on it. By the way, my 7yo has just worked out that the rest of chicken tastes as good as the drumstick so maybe it's a family thin...

berrynice

The craisins I give my girls are sugar and cranberries. I'm very aware of preservatives such as sulphur and always check the ingredients. In Oz everything has to be labled (not sure what goes on everywhere else). I hav been known to buy organic almonds for my birds too.

berrynice

At this stage all 3 of ours are girls, (wil find out with Coco). I've seen all parrots from budgies through to Sulphur crested cockatoos do it and they havn't all been male. I think u can take a pick as to why they do it. Scratching, getting rid of food, sexual behaviour or just 'cos it feels good. ...

berrynice

azzy & Bhanu are together, Coco has her own cage. Bhanu being the dominant bird has already been literally pushed off her perch by Coco who will stand up to her. Azzy tends to avoid conflict. Coco being Jordan's IRN will stay in her own cage jut due to ownership. He's already doing extra jobs ar...

berrynice

All 3 (yes we hav 3 now) do that, half the time to get food off their beaks. I think they like the feel too. One of my birds used to do it to me when I was a kid, but I can't remember which one.

berrynice

Funny, I was thinking the same thing just before I read your post. Chamon...where r u?

berrynice

Hmm, may need to start a new topic. Variations in bird prices around the world. Look out for that one. Still love your macaws Athena. Closest I've got is a gorgeous (if I do say so myself) photo at the Adelaide zoo. This is why I'm getting a sun conure.

berrynice

Want, want, want. They are gorgeous. Unfortunately they are sooo expensive to obtain in Oz. Oh well I'll just live my life through your gang.

berrynice

They hav different personalites. My green is sociable, outgoing, bossy and has been known to tug my sleeve for attention. The blue is a bird who is really cautious by nature. My sons Lutino that he got yesterday is not hand raised just wants to check out everything and is all over him already. 3 IRN...

I've got a parrot stand that I adjusted to make room for toys and stuff. we have cats that wander through the house so if thegirls are out I shut the door in that room. Apart from Azzy (who's flighted, but has minimal sense of direction) there's only been the occasional thing crashed into or pulled ...

berrynice

don't know about squash, but have given my girls kiwi. They are soso about it, but they love freash fig. Also love pomegranate, but make a huge mess with it. Do not giv this if you have expensive pale rugs.

berrynice

Biased 'cos I'm getting one, but, um, er Sunny.

berrynice

congratulations on your little boy

berrynice

I've been following your progress from the side and just want to say how impressed I am with the deication that you are showing to these babies. i wish you and the twins all the best. those birds were very lucky you were in the right place for them.

berrynice

Azzy and Bhanu...again

Slightly shonky aquarium, very yucky due to death of algae eater and slack owner

berrynice

we don't go on holidays!! Try a friend who can birdie sit. Get them use to your IRN, feeding, handling etc. Hubby is going away with the kids for an overnighter, I'm not going 'cos of the girls. Yeh right...I just want a break from them heehee

berrynice

berrynice

that was me that wrote about not covering. I read somewhere that IRNs are more susceptible to night fright. can't remember the source. does he act if not covered? if not, i wouldn't worry.

berrynice

just checked it out. need to find out shipping costs to Oz. love the calender. placing in favourites. Thanks

absolutely gorgeous. I think there's few of us pouting, me amongst them.

berrynice

I went to a bird sale on Sunday. Lotsa IRNs. Very pretty, top end stuff. Speaking to a finch breeder today he said that we have another 6 in the next 6weeks scattered throughout SA. Great for info from the breeders and to make contacts.

me again. mexican conures (east and west) is about as close as I came.

berrynice

He's a baby so as long as he's eating and pooing and is wakeful it's fine.
My girls are quiet. It seems to be an individual thing. Your baby is gorgeous. Jeremy is the one who's brilliant about the whole breeding thing. Try a PM if he doesn't answer this.

berrynice

The guy's an idiot! In Oz we have Mallee ringneck and 28 parrots. These are completely different from IRNs. I did a google search 2 back myself up. Nothing in images

berrynice

your friends rat looks a lot like our Josh. I agree they r similar 2 parrots, but Josh has never bitten me!! Sorry Mikaela, but I've gone from being rodent phobic to loving them. I'll put up sum pics of Josh some time
