If the young ones have been handfed from a very young age, they probably don't see the older RN as one of their own kind. So, I would just follow the advice given here.

IRNs are very resilient, and I suppose he's a pet bird kept inside... He'll be fine... Good luck with your move.

Thank you! Max is definitely healthy. He's curious - he wants to beak everything he sees. He can run pretty fast, too, when he's trying to scare the dog...

Yesterday I was sitting with 31 days old Max... he was on my chest, had tucked his little head into a fold on my t-shirt and made himself completely flat... I had my hand just resting on his back. I lifted up his head a bit, but it just went back down... I was so afraid that he was sick... Every tim...

Yes, they are a bonded pair, even though they're both male.... I have 2 females a shortbilled Corella and a Galah, who have also bonded to each other.

Hi My name is Lene and I live in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. On Friday I bought an Alexandrine, only 4 weeks old... Name is Max for short regardless whether he's a male or female. He's such a smooch, and he's eating really, really well. Takes less than 5 minutes to feed him. The breeder said he...
