yup as i was saying, its a bit hard to get him to stay still.
There is no red/pink infected looking areas. All of his skin is the same color. no blotchiness around the areas lacking feathers.
No scabs, just new feathers growing is all.

Anyone have a diagnosis more advanced than my own?

10 weeks old i believe. (could be lies though)
Ill get some pictures tomorow if he will stay still.

hahah oh no, tuff it out. a few battle scars will only be a reminder of how hard you worked to get him friendly.
Goodluck

yea i did have concerns too about his grandpa style hair doo. but in the week ive had him and comparing before and after photos, he has started to grow feathers (slowly) when i went and looked at him at the breeders, he was in a seperate cage to the others. And when he hangs out with big blue, he is...

o and if anyone has any name suggestions for no name (the yellow one) it would be much appreciated. thanks.

Heres some pictures of my most recent family members. Little (no name) is 10 weeks old from what ive been told. So thats why he is looking a bit featherless. Big blue is only a young one too but im unsure of his/her age as unfortunetly he/she has been passed round through a few people that couldnt g...

I've been so busy that i've forgotten to get some pictures on here. I'll start a new thread in the images folder now. take a look

haha looks like he is quite a caracter.
I'll have to stop being slack and get some pics of mine up so you can see.

Have you posted any pictures of yours up here on the site yet? id love to see.

haha yea they are beautifull birds. Its amazing to see their personalities. I dont know what i was worried about, i cut off some very ripe pear and eased my hand into his cage. He loved the pear and jumped onto my hand to get a better angle to eat it haha. I think the breeder may have spent a bit of...

Ive begun teaching him the step up routine and he is picking it up quite well. He does a little bit of a struggle when i first pick him up, this is what worries me most, as i dont want to freak him out. he never bites or anything, just wiggles. Ive been trying to find a treat that he likes that i ca...

I found the add on Gumtree.com It was the only one for sale locally that was still at the age i wanted. Nice guy and had some awsome Macaws and African Greys breeding too (wish i had 2 grand) Taraj: ahha yea this little one is quite the flyer, after reading alot of info on training them, im a little...

Yep sure did. Picked up a beautifull 9 week old yellow IRN. He/she is quite happy to sit on my lap while i watch tv, so long as i'm scratching his/her head ahha, once the scratching stops, its out of there. Should i wait a while before clipping wings? i think its going to make it alot easier for bot...

Thanks so much for the help guys.
I really appreciate forums with helpfull people.

Thanks again

I understand the previous page has a similar thread, but I don't think they where looking for what I am. I'm chasing an IRN I am located on the gold coast but will drive as far as brisbane or south to byron bay. I would prefer it to have been hand raised and used to being handled. I'm easy with colo...
