Thank you all for your reply. I kind of figured I was going out on a limb by asking. I was just curious, but glad to hear that I have been proven wrong. So my Indie doesn't talk, thats alright with me, she talks to me in her own language which is totally fine. I can usually tell what she is trying t...

Talking, your option.
I am curious if anyone has noticed on whether the males seem to talk more then females do? Just wondering if maybe the males tend to be better at talking verses the females, if you know what I mean. I know that not all birds talk, and I don't expect mine to talk, but I was just wondering if anyone h...

Hey everyone, I haven't posted in such a long time, but I have a question for you all. Indie is my blue IRN, he/she is going on 22 months old. I have always thought of Indie as a boy, but I am now wondering if maybe Indie is a girl. My question is this..... I have seen him doing his dance to his toy...

I have an IRN, Indie, and a Goffin Too, Jasmine. My goffin is terrified of my IRN, and my IRN knows this, so he is always trying to scare her off. I have never left them unattended, but the minute my IRN makes any type of move (as if he is coming her way) my Goffin is off and flying to get away. I a...

Some do, some will never. Mine is 13 months old, and still doesn't talk. I am not sure if he ever will. But that's ok with me. He understands what I say to him, and he talks back using his own language. Thats one thing people often do not think about, a bird may never learn how to talk, but that sho...
