We are new owners to two Lutino IRNs.
Max & Ruby
We bought them from a pet shop, I know not the best idea but we'd actually been to this pet shop the week before and they werent there so we know they were there for less than week. We were told that one was female, one was male and they were about 3 yrs old but we think they might be just under thou but we're not to sure, and that they were form an aviary ..... so they havent been handled and if they have its not for very long
We've had them for two days and want to give them the best home, we bought a cage that was more than big enough for them both, they were in a tiny thing in the shop it wasnt big enough for their tails not to touch the bottom when they were on the perch
Theyve been allowed out of the cage to fly, The male is very good at it we think the females wings have been clipped on more than one occassion, she is also a biter but only when we've tried to grab hold of her to put her back in the cage, neither of them have bitten our hands when we need to change water and food.
They dont make much noise which wasnt what I was expecting.
At the moment we are just trying to gain their trust sitting by the cage talking to them feeding them their favourites through the side, I am a little unsure about letting them out again because of the fuss the first time but i dont want them to become too accustomed to their cage that they are to scared to come out.
They only play with the toys we've provided if no one is in the room, Theyve been placed in the main room of the house where there is always activity going on.
Ive also read (on the internet
so not to sure if its true) that it will be very hard to bond with them as they have bonded well with each other, is this true or will it just take more time and patience
I think I will finish this now cause i could put loads up here
Thanks and just to say what a great site
