Mazzie :)
Just a couple of shots of my baby girl.
Mazzie with food beak. She loves pears and gets them all over
Helping my oldest son play video games. He's her second favorite person. She's been helping him for so many years that he doesnt even notice her little beak helping his fingers LOL.

I got rid of a bunch of ringnecks this morning, none were tame tho. Two were lutino.
Buuut.. I dont need a lutino :) here's why
Yuki is starting to colour up a bit more :) Such a nice chooky. But I have a special place in my heart for Niamh, my friends lutino. The yellow birds have such personality.
Oh PS my next addition is going to be a Rainbow :)_ <-- it's drool

Athena, Mazzie is adorable. I think it is amazing how tame she is, really puts to rest all those myths about Ringnecks not making great pets
Neo, the Creaminos are such amazing birds. Yuki is a beauty, can't wait till he is fully coloured
The Pastelblue Lacewings are nice birds as well, will you be getting one this season?

Mazzie is really sweet, with Me, My oldest son... and my husband. Everyone else is biteable.
However, she wont chase people if they don't mess with her. She can hang out on us around strangers just fine and not bother them.
Buddy is my "super tame" IRN. He will go to anyone, if he's not in mating season.
They can be really great birds, once you give them the time and attention to do it.

Wow Mazziemom it is amazing that you took her from where she was so that pretty little bird in those pics. You have the patience of a saint! I've tamed down wild tiels and budgies but never anything bigger since Prinny is really my first 'larger' bird and she was hand raised. I am in awe...

Mazzie was more than worth the effort and the bandaids.
I think all birds have a good baby inside, you just have to help them find it. Mazzie really wanted to be LOVED, and to give her love to someone, she just needed to trust me first.
For those of you who are trying to tame a bird... try taking their 100% favorite thing in the world and giving it to them all the time. I know, it sounds weird, but it works wonders.
Mazzie loves to bathe, she's part duck I think, and we would shower her 3 and 4 times a day at one point. She loved the water too much to hate us, so she learned to love us too.
Oh, and BTW, I can hold all my ringnecks that way. I do a lot of "hands on" work with them, literally. I wrap my hands around them all the time, so they are used to it when I need to do it. With babies or hand raised sweethearts its very very easy to train them to do, with more aggressive birds it is harder... but still possible.

Athena u must be kindhearted and the birds know it.
Thanks for the tips Athena, Marley does like his bath, i have to change his water 4 or 5 times in a day sometimes. Ive read others say the same about there babys, he often does it while im hoovering!! anyway when i see him in his water dish [i got a big one so he bath properly] i spray him with warm water and he loves it, but he decides when he wants it, he obviously isnt half duck
I'm not sure if its marleys age but sometimes he wants to be left alone to clamber around the cage, whistleing and chirpin to himself. If you approach him, in the normal way, you know 'hello marley sweety', if he doesnt wanna talk he does the ear piercing double sqauwk. not for the faint hearted. Doesnt do it to me as much as others I s'pose i've jus gotta be patient, he has done so well so far i cant knock him.He wasnt hand reared and hadnt had contact with humans other than irregular feeding so he has been really brave.Im proud of him. Thanks again. Natalie x
