Hi Digger welcome to the forum. You're in the right place for info i got allot of help here when I was breeding my 2 ringies. Ill answer the questions i know. His feathers will only grow back when he molts again. There is the risk that if he has damaged the follicles in the wing that they may not gr...

I would suggest a good pellet and lots of veg. Your best bet is to google what veg they can eat that's what I did there are heaps of lists out there. Seeds should be kept to a minimum as they are very fatty. And fruit is also something they need but again more as treat then all the time. Bulk of foo...

Well then yeah expect another egg 2 days after the first, they can have up to 6 at 2 day spacings. The first will hatch 24 - 26 days after the female starts sitting which is normally after the second egg is layed. Make sure you are feeding a balanced diet as the females body is under allot of strain...

No worries

Do you have a nest box in the cage, if not get one asap as they will prob lay at least another 2.
If it's in a nest box make sure you feed them a good balanced diet. The rest is pretty much up to them to sort out. In about 30 days the first egg should hatch. And they should lay every 2nd day normally

@Julie Yes she is doing fine by herself. The little one is a week old now and grows noticeably by the day in saying that she only has one to look after. Male killed the first and 3rd egg is not fertile. @Jimmyjack From all the reading ive done into it it would appear that its not to uncommon for par...

Well good news my second egg hatched 5 days ago now and is doing really well mum is very protective. The cock bird is in another cage and not happy about the sounds of the chick in the main cage. Every time it makes noise e gets worked up and wants out of his cage. i have bought him a new friend tho...

Thanks Rod I have removed the cock and put him in spare cage. He heard the hatchling chirping and went in the box when he can out it was dead. He did not go back in the box after that. What concerns me is that it was not just killed it was torn apart to tiny pieces, is that normal when they kill a h...

Hey guys just a quick question. My first egg hatched last night but with in about a hour one of the parents had kill it and ripped it apart. I'm just wondering why this may have happened, it is the females first clutch. I believe it was the male that killed it as he was in the box and as soon as he ...

Thanks Melika. I am not sure if they are fertile as i have not candled them. This is the females first session breeding so im leaving them to do there thing, though i should know in the next 4-8 day cause they are due to hatch. She has been sitting very well and keeps them all nicely together and wa...

Thanks for all the replys guys. I'm not sure if these photos are the best as it does not show up the colour as well as i would like. I have taken some more so i will see how they turned out and my post up a couple if they show the colour better. I have also seen a plain blue now and he is definitely...

Are grey gum tree branches safe to use as perchs and do I need to peel the bark off or just wash it?

Thanks Rod i may just leave them and keep an eye on them till they are closer to weaning.

Hi Michelle I went through the introduction of a new bird to the family a little while ago. As for as the bond between you and Jacques i have been told that a second bird can affect that bond as you are no longer there primary source of attention. Now in saying that i found the opposite to be true. ...

Yes Rod it is they are first timers. I will be monitoring them through the first 25 days to make sure they are feeding and caring for young properly. I must say so far they are doing all the right things as for as the eggs go with incubation and protection. Male has become very protective of the fem...

Hey my pair are sitting on there first lot of eggs, which are due to start hatching in 12 days. I have a few questions i was hoping you guys could help with. I unfortunately don't have the time to hand feed from 2 weeks due to work and i also do not have any experience hand rearing birds. My first q...

Due to not knowing the age it is a bit hard to say. i do know with my green female she has a slight "ring" like your bird displays. i guess the quickest way to find out would be to get a dna test at an avian vet.

First post updated to say hi and show off my babies.

Hey i have been looking at mutation colours of IRNs and am now not sure of my males colour. I thought he was just standard blue but from some of the descriptions of mutations im not sure. I have no history of this birds parents as he was adopted and so did not come from the breeder. I am also wonder...

Thanks for the suggestion, I have taken some better photos with a dig slr which are allot clearer so i will post the in the mutation section later when i get home from work. The main reason i am wanting to know is because he has mated with my female and she is currently sitting on 2 eggs (due for an...

Hi all im Marco and im new to the site. I have had my green female (Frankie) now for 18 months and have had my male (Hank) for about 8 months. He was a foster child. I was not aware there where so many mutations of irn's and im now wondering what colour my male is. Any way here are my babies. Franki...
