That is good, l do like to make people laugh or at least smile. I seem to have lost the thread where was I?

Avian world have some very nice door pots for front and inside the cage door to catch droppings to save that news paper on the floor but I get the free newspapers off the buses. I thought l would get a warning from the Mod for being flippant.

Its a bit late and may not go down well as l am known to be bit of radical in my approach but when Billie started squawking l blew my referee's whistle she was so shock that l could make more noise than her she shut up. I keep that whistle hanging up where she can see it and the next time Biliie sta...

I'm not human until l have had two cups of coffee, what are you before two cups of coffee? A Parrot. I have discovered a very important parrot word, if l cluck my tongue Billie flies to my shoulder and tries to feed me! This morning she was sunbathing against the new lamp bulb. But I would still lik...

Melisa how do you get a photo on each of your posts? Is there some magic formula l tried blocking and copy and paste but no such luck. YouTube have some nice photos and sounds of IRN.
AJPeter

Thank you M. for posting these for me, the first two photos were taken with Billie's old cage which was larger for her and the last two were taken with the new cage l bought for her with an open top which she adores and also with wheels which l adore! The first photo reminds me of tip toeing through...

Skye-crew, your eamil address bounced twice once as hotamil.com and hotmail.co.uk could you send me an email to establish the link elefantis@msn.com ?
AJpeter

Thank you skye-crew for the email link my tag is elefantis, l sent four photos please pick out what you think will be best. Tonight Bilile and l had a bit of telepathy between us. About 5.30 pm l asked "Are you ready for bed?" And after awhile she goes down to her perch, and l slam all the...

I have taken some photos of Billie but l do not want to down load the photo app is there some one who l can send them to on an email attachment?
AJPeter

Bilie has this very scary game she plays on me, she sits with her beak open and wags her tongue but makes no sound and then she goes through the routine again open beak almost as it she is stretchng her beak muscles and waves her tongue. So l play along with the game the next time she openned her be...

Thank you Sykes-crew. Where can l buy Liver salts for parrots? I uncovered Billie this morning and she looked like death warmed up all bleary eyed as if she had been on the town all night, she looked worse than l felt. But l am glad to say that after l left her to have a shower and came back she was...

Does your bird smile? Billie does and today l played a wrong note and l turned round to see if she had noticed and she was grimacing. I can tell when she has some mischief planned as she has a twinkle in her eye and l discovered this neck scratch biting thing of hers is not to over do the scratch, l...

Sorry l meant to mention that l was seriously considering writing a book called "Parrot Speak" so people could understand what their parrot was saying to them but l have hit on a stumbling block, when Billie calls for a scratch suddenly she bites me and l have not yet worked out why. Today...

Those of you with aviaries might like to consider Quail as a bottom feeder, they lay eggs well the hens do, Chickens need to much gorund space to be kept in avaries and although this is not the page to mention this but you need a gallon of water for every inch of goldfish.
AJPeter

Forgot to mention that when Billie calls for a neck scratch she prefers me to keep my finger in one place and she swoons about like a snake in a trance, she has her eyes closed and when she is out of reach l wait for her to return to my finger and the scratch but it amazes me how hard she presses ag...

Thank you Sykes-crew, MissEllie and er others for your comments. Does your bird sulk? Bilie does, three times she flew to the top of my head as l was playing the organ and twice l lifted her down onto my shoulder with the back of my hand, the first time she flew back because of a police siren in the...

I in Handsworth Birmingham and would appreciate help with Billie's nails.
AJPeter

MissK you are right but in the bath l noticed that l am sprouting feathers on my chest. A friend of mine came today while Billie was out of her cage and my firend sat down in the arm chair and after a short while Billie flew to the arm chair back and climbed onto my friends' head and tried to remove...

I must admit that my original reaction to being bitten was to strike back but l am pleased to say that l have not lost my temper and struck back or slapped Billie not since the early days of dealing with her. I quite like the idea of telling her "Ouch! That hurt." And then holding my finge...

I also found that Billie does not like sprouting vegs, she is quite strange does not like peanuts or monkey nuts throws them out of her bowl, she won't eat Brazil nuts. She quite liked brussell sprouts and Broccoli l bought her but not she has gone off them. She likes pomegranites seeds, but not str...

Does any one get the impression that they are training us? However their body language and calls are a clear indication of what l can expect, l almost get the idea that if she is asking for neck scratch as a way to bite me l can see the glint in her eye and decine not to play her game. But this aski...

Lol can you understand what he says? I am begiinning to understand Billie so much so that l am thinking of writing a book called "Parrot Speak!"
AJPeter

What is the Irritation game?

AJpeter

I have been reading the posts about biting, being a newbie please excuse me for being so forward, but l do find leaving the room for unaceptable behaviour has the desired result. Billie does not like being left alone, and if go into the kitchen she calls continuously for me to come back. Her happy t...

I bought a new cage from Northern Parrots it is Drake by Liberta, quite difficult to assemble but the trick is to leave everything as loose as possibe until the final screw is located. I read a review from lady who said it was ideal for her IRN but enother reiview said it was too small for two IRNs....

Shyes-crew thank you for this link and I found it very interesting to read about the routines other IRN's have, but l think my problem is not the routine but when l do not keep to the routine, for instance I make our dinner for us about 6 pm and Billie has her bowl and me mine but when she goes in t...

Are there any topics on having a set routine for you IRN? I have tried searchintg forums but cannot find that topic. I have something to say on that subject.
AJPeter

Billie screams when a fly comes anywhere near her, l tell her it is fresh meat but she says she is a vegetarian and since l cannot use Fly and Wasp killer aresols l found a neat way of avoiding squashed fly on my wall paper and is to mist them with water. They hate is so much they make a bee line fo...

Thank you Skyes that thread was so interesting, it has put my mind at rest, so many helpful tips as well. When l mist spray Billie she likes me to use a hair drier on low held a a distance to dry her off, l think she likes the warm air. Recently she has become very friendly and wants me to scratch h...

How often and when and how long do moults take place? Is there an any special diet needed?
AJPeter

My hen alexandrine loves peppermint polo sweets but an aviary vet told me that refined sugar was bad for her, so that rules out all sweets! All the more for me! Some people say that IRN are sweet toothed, but my bird does not like cane sugar, or peanuts.
AJpeter

Thank you Skyes-crew, PattiB,Doodlebug,Elieelectrons,Dixie-1 for your well wishes, I think Skyes-crew is right my little friend is a hen Alexandrine ring neck, and quite young. She works harder than I at our new freindship telling me when to start cooking our meal and if she wants me to make her a t...

Hi, my name is AJPeter and l found an Indian Ringneck. I do not know how old it is but it green with reddish flashes on hte wings. The beak is in good condition and there are no marking on the neck it would appear the owner pushed it out of the window of an upstairs flat because it attacked his cana...
