It has been ages!
But I'm back! Adopting a green male ringie, Jamie, from a rescue. He is a bit stand-offish, but not bad at all. Has a little bit of a hand phobia, but I'm pretty sure we can work through it! He will join my flock, hopefully, next weekend. He goes to the vet for a psittacosis test. Hopefully all goes...

Not new, but back again :)
Hi all! I'm Missi. I used to frequent these boards last year when I still had my male IRN, Baby (see sig). If you want to know what happened to him, my story should still be in the rainbow bridge forum. My boyfriend and I are on the look out for a male Alexandrine or male IRN in the local birdie res...

Dani's Macaw, Aggie, passed away
I just got a message from Dani stating that Aggie passed away, I believe she said this past Thursday. Aggie had started eating less and less, so Dani took her to the vet. The vet said they didn't see anything wrong with her, however, kept her overnight for obvervation. Dani brought her home Thursday...

If it's the Feather Tether harness, return it. It's a piece of crap. Google the Aviator Haress and buy that one. Easy to get on, comfortable, no metal hooks or clasps. Hel, I'll give you the link. http://theparrotuniversity.com/harness/harness.html Comes with a 45 minute dvd that shows you how to ge...

Thanks! I work great with a lot of adult birds as well Sasha's just an overly difficult student right now We, at the Aviary, are the biggest drop off site for unwanted adult birds in the area. When people don't want it any more because it screams or they don't have enough time for it, we get them. W...

I am working with Sasha for a few more weeks. Yesterday, one of the owners of the Aviary taught me how she used to tame wild caught parrots that just came in the a store from the jungle (i.e. greys ad amazons, etc). The other owner said to me, "WHY are you keeping him still??" and looked at me like ...

I don't think you guys are ganging up on me, just concerned. I honestly don't know how to tame a parent raised IRN. I heard it's damn near impossible. I am also not comparing him to Baby what so ever. I knew getting him that he was going to be a big challenge. I have tried to stick traain him with a...

I don't think that being stuck in a cage in my room would be better than him being in an aviary, able to fly, with over 10 other IRNs to socialize with. He's more than likely going back tomorrow. He is terrified. I mean TERRIFIED of humans. Its hard, almost impossible to tame a parent raised and wea...

Sasha :(
It has been about 3 weeks he's been at our home. He seems to not be making any progress, he is actually biting us more now. We are using all the tricks in the books to train and tame him but he hasn't even eaten out of our hands. When we finally get him on our finger, he will sit there and look terr...

Okay, people need to get their stuff straight. Aviaries are for many birds and cages are only good for one bird. It's terrible that people criticized you for that. Unless they think you should only keep IRN with other IRN and not other bird species. Then I see their point. For an IRN I wouldn't use ...

Do they ever show ANY anger? Or will they lay with you like a 'too? A 'too without the noise and HUGE beak? Or no... shooting up the wrong tree? Nothing like a 'too. Normally ekkies don't cuddle but, as usual, we got a special one. Ladies at the Aviary say it's me I make them that way but I just th...
