A warm hello from sunny South Africa
Well, Helloo to everyone! This is rather new to me but happy that i found the site!
I have a Turquoise IRN, Pi-ko... He (or i think thats its a he) is now one year old and i hand reared him from when he was only a few weeks old!!
I dont have to say that he supplies me with endless joy!!!
He loves me but hates strangers (or anyone)!
Ive read that IRN ringnecks go through a rather rough adolecent phase and im aware that Pi-ko will soon experience this too. I recently bough the Walmach Taming and Training dvds to help me a bit with training and so forth...
Although, i cannot figure out how to introduce a training diet, Pi-ko has never been interested in sunflower seeds and eats only canary and budgie mix.... i realise that all that is in order and that sunflower seeds are not the prefered diet but i dont know how i am going to get him interested in treats... he doent eat any "junck" food - only fresh fruit and cooked mix! He loves passionfruit--- HE GOES ABSOLUTE CRAZY when he gets one and will destroy the whole thing!
maybe this is a bit long for the first "helloo" but maybe some one with a bit more knowledge can help me out straight away!!
thank anyways-- its like therapy hehehhe

Hello and welcome to the flock! Pi-ko sounds adorable. If you find Pi-ko loves something. Use it to your advantage! It also doesn't always have to be food either. I use my Jibbys bell and peanut butter for Yoda who is much more difficult to handle. Goodluck with the training! Just remember to be patient through the 'stubborn' times. We'd love to see some pics of Pi-ko.
Therapy is a perfect word for it! hehe

There is a 'sticky' in the photo section.
But I'll explain here..
1. First upload your photos to any free photo sharing site. eg I use Photobucket.
2. Around your uploaded photos you will see some codes..
[IMG] for showing the pic in your post.
[URL] for showing a link in your post to your photo.
3. Copy Paste the code into your post.
Done.
Tip: You may want to resize your photos using any photo editing program you may have if they are too large before you upload to Photobucket etc.
