:P :P :P :P :P :P happy to announce he is in fact a he..... He paired up with one of my yellow hens they bought out three chicks, though :cry: sadly one died in the first week and another at four weeks. I couldn't help myself I had to take the lonely surviving chick out :oops: . the kids have named ...

MissK could be right but it could also be that Luna is establishing a pair bond with you... and if that is the case, you want to discourage it. It is not healthy for a bird to have a pair bond with a human. Don't panic though, you haven't given enough information to indicate that is definitely a pa...

I forgot to mention....Once I have her she is fine, she will go to anyone.

??????

Luna is biting everyone when they try to pet her or try to get her to "step up". The thing is She will not nor has she ever bitten me. I can approach her anywhere in the house and ask her to "step up" and she will,(without even using her beak) in fact when she is on her perch and...

I have a princess parrot that does the same thing and it dose it when it's excited

WOW I might just wait I think it would be kinder on the bird. I'm not in that much of a rush for a definitive answer.
Thanks though

Thanks for the input Ellie, I am feeding this mix to Aviary birds, giving them fresh fruit and veg every 2nd day. From experience with other birds I have had the oils/fat from the seeds help to keep them warm in winter. As for Luna the girl I keep inside, she gets fruit and veg every day and She get...

No Ellie I Just got him, I felt sorry for him :( I got him from a large produce shop, he was in a small cage with 7 other IRN's huddled in a corner. Not sure where I can get the test done around here? (Lockyer Valley) One of the hens I have was clucking at him when he stole some apple from he though...

I am not too familiar with IRN colours and the mutations can someone tell me why he has patches of grey masking the blue?

Anyone in Australia have any thoughts on this mix?

jack No worries, I just looked at the school calendar it says Qld is the only ones on holidays :oops: My Luna does not have a cage inside, she lives next to my bed on a thing I made.(I can email you a pic if you like, pm me your email) Luna is my alarm clock :P we make a coffee together and have a c...

I had a look in the aviary tonight and one of the hens is in the nest.

very nice
I have the materials to build in steel.
I purchased extra when I built my aviary
And I have 20+m of wire left on the roll and the gal edging from a pool.
that will do the trick.
I will get stuck in to it this week then

Thanks.

I assume jack you are a queenslander with the holidays starting and the gum leaves.

thanks for that
Have you used aluminum box with joiners or gal with an open joint, a bit hard to tell?

Could anyone suggest what size I should make them.
and does anyone have any pics of their cages Just to give me a reference.

For perspective, let us imagine you and I have recently met. We see each other daily, and 75% of the time we meet, I turn my rings to the inside and smack your face. Then I stop all smacking for one week's time. At the end of one week, if you see me approach and turn my rings to the inside, will yo...

She is very scared of my hands near her even when I go very very slowly towards her with a treat on it. We have gloves so we can get it to step up on our arm or service the cage without the biting hurting. Is this ok? hey Guys, it is a slow process to gain trust. It also depends on the bird itself ...

Seeing that it is winter here in Aussie land and where I live the temp gets below 0'C.

This is the new mix I found today available in a 15kg bag

Would you consider this a complete stable diet for my flock?
photo pending

Could this be the reason for the lack of tail?

Thanks yes she is, Luna is also a little naughty too.
Only I can pick her up, if anyone else in the family tries she bites and bites hard. I only have to walk up to her and she puts her leg up to come to me. She is fine once I pick her up, she will go to anyone.

Hi all I have a few Q's I have been watching him how he is interacting with my girls and they are chasing around a bit. The only time they get close is when there is food involved. He will go and steel apple from one of the girls and when he does this, she will drop her head and cluck. Is this norma...

Ok so this morning I went to one of our local produce stores looking to buy some pellets for my IRN's. I walked in and there he was sitting in the corner of the cage looking very scared, unlike the other several IRN that where in there with him screeching away. On closer inspection of him I noticed ...

love it
