I need to stay out of my local pet store. They have two teal colored IRN's there, about 5-7 weeks old. I will go in to see owner tomorrow (Friday) and see about putting some $$ down on one now and let them continue to feed it til it's weaned. Awww they are so cute. I've never had a baby bird before...

Scarley isn't much on the "time to go nite nite" either. I work 6p-6a as a dispatcher, and when I get home I have to go to bed shortly afterwards. I a room just for the birds, my computer is in there so I can spend xtra time with them. She comes out when I get home and b/f puts her up when he goes t...

I have learned that when Scarley acts that, she wants loving with she coos at me but,,,if she screeches and acts that way, she's telling me to back of Momma or i'm gonna get ya again! LOL but i guess it depends on the bird.

took me TWO years to get Scarley tame enough to handle....don't be discouraged....I wouldn't trade her in,,,,even if she still snapped at me, oh wait she still does...but....time time time time time time time time time.

That is too sweet. My IRN runs from the spritzer bottle, and she's just now coming around to letting me love her. So we're not ready to try the shower yet. So we set out a nice heavy dish and let her go to town!

Ok Ok, we all have picky eaters. Me being one of them, I expect nothing less from my fids. Well, my Scarley is being a horrid thing lately with her food. She likes her birdie breads but disects it by removing the veggies. Unless it's corn she has nothing to do with it. I have so many bags of veggies...

I have had more luck with wooden pieces from the crafts dept, some hemp twine, baby toys, wooden alphabet blocks, than I did with bought toys. But something mine loves, I take a pine cone, wash it really really well and let it dry, and smear it with pnut butter, and roll it in dried apple, bird seed...

Congrats on your fids....and double congrats on finding such a tame baby! Yes, post pics, and share stories. As for the cooing noise, i take it as "i love you too" cause mine does it all the time now....lol

I'm waiting for my IRN to saw her cage in two she does it soooo much!

Awww, my Scarley won't shut up now! HEHEHE She is like a three year old with her favorite question,,,'WHAT ARE YOU DOING NOW!" And I answer her in one or three word answers. She has now learned, cause my main answer is, "feeding the boys" she will ask me what are you doing now, then answer, feeding ...

Josh, like everyone said, be patient with him/her. They are by no means the friendliest of birds. I have the scars to prove it. It's taken me 20 months to be able to pet, cuddle, hold and play with mine. Don't give up on your bird. Remember, birds are like foster children. Always up rooted. Give you...

Kokk, How cute. I've been owned by my IRN for almost 2 years now, and just now in the past month has she started coming around and letting me love her. Our game lately is,,,"Lets see how much food we can sling!" I'm trying her on a daily routine of new things! LOL Trying for something othe than corn...

beautiful bird and great cage! I'd love to have something like that for the out doors

Thanks Julie for that. I wasn't sure what to use....it's like her talons (that's what i call em) just thought they'd grow over night!

Hi dani, yes I post in BB also. I lucked up and found this site after posting in BB seeking sites for ringnecks only.....the net is so big now it's hard to find ONE thing w/o a million others around it. And TY on my beautiful SPOILED fid....rotten being she is

MY FIDS RUN FROM THE CAM! I CAN'T GET GOOD PHOTOS OF THEM

Ok gonna say it again,,,BEAUTIFUL PICTURES!

BEAUTIFUL FID THERE

YEAAAAY He's home! So sorry to have read that. My heart was aching. I lost my sun conure that way 2 years ago. Only I had him out in his cage on the deck and when coming in, my puppy tripped me causing me to fall and cage coming apart when we all landed on the floor of deck. Paco flew away, For 3 da...

I too need to clip Scarley's talons! OUCH! What's the best thing to use? Regular clippers, baby nail clippers or what? I've never had to do this!

So glad Scarley doesn't entertain herself Like Indie up there. Working nights, and sleeping days, it was almost impossible to keep her quiet while I tried sleeping. So we agreed on keeping her cage half covered, but opened, she was free to flock her room and she was happy and quiet and I got to sleep.

Scarley likes mangos, and peaches, and I'm lucky to have peach trees outside my back door. And strawberries are a hit with her and she's rather funny looking after making a great big mess! lol

Chili Peppers, my IRN will eat them, only when they're in her birdie breads....and this is gonna sound funny, when i cook the 13 pea soup for her (w/o seasoning) i'll throw in the dried chili peppers to soften them up a bit and maybe add spice to the beans...but i'll chop them up and add to my batte...

I'm rather new here,,,,but Hello. My IRN loves yellow squash. I cut it up and keep it in baggies in the freezer. I'll take a couple of pices out and steam it up for her along with other veggies. I cut cobs of corn up into disk for her as well. I'll even make jiffy corn bread with chopped up carrots,...

Hi Everyone! I'm Terri and I'm owned by Scarley the Lutino IRN, among six dogs, four cats and five other birds. Keets n Finches. I've had her almost 2 years now. I got her from a breeder out of Atlanta, who was her 2nd owner. I know she was well taken care of there but her first home I have no idea...
