I have her back!! Could hear her calling this morning when I woke up so i ran down the street and after about an hour of calling and tree hopping I finally climbed up and got her!! So relieved... Straight to the vets for a wing clip!!

About 3 months ago I acquired a 'male' blue IRN from a breeder.. he briefley explaned to me how he could guarantee me that the cocks were the blues and the albinos were the hens.. My 'male' is showing similar signs to a hen and now has me questioning how he could make this guarantee.. Or maybe he is...

So thisafternoon I realised my beloved Fonz was missing!! And possibly had been for about 20 mins.. Chachi was doing his own thing and there was no noise.. She escaped from the hole she had eaten in the screen.. Ran outside called and called and ended up down the street staring up into trees, I hear...

Hi ozzie, have you tried www.petlink.com.au i know they have many birds of all species available......... may be worth checking out Pretty bird by the way, i had to Google it!!

I could magine you would be worried. She may have a small piece of husk or something caught in it but if you want to make sure, id take her to the vet!!! Good luck, I hope it is nothing serious!! Poor little cherub...

Tanks Fah, it was one of those things where excitement took over and I just wanted to get home to get the process started... I had phoned my vet and asked for a number but the number given doesnt hand raise so this guy put me onto this other person... It was a bit like a farm for birds or FACTORY sh...

At what is supposed to be a joyous time, I have been very stressed!! I picked up my new blue male IRN, 3mth old, paid my $$ and left thinking all was hunkydory!! I let him settle in for a couple of hours and then went and sat next to him which is when I noticed something with his leg.. It was sticki...

I am interested to see what people write because Fonz is doing the same thing..I guess its part of their inquisitive nature, chewing, i give her loads of things to chew but nothing satisfies her... I know i have offered no words of wisdom but look forward to reading the responses you get.. Good luck!

I know its a late reply, but anyway... I also know that to have them on your shoulder is not the best but, my Fonz does this nibble thing also. She nibbles my ears, the tiny mole on my neck etc etc etc...... I thnk she has worked out that when she does this her 'scratching tool' (aka MY HAND) comes ...

Little story for ya'll: I was bridesmaid at my besties wedding the other day and our other friends felt that in a toast to the bride and groom they would tell stories amongst the table... Our friend Nick said - 'My girlfriend Leisa loves our dog more than me!' Then it was Ryans (my man) turn to have...

Ok, so I was right when I changed my thoughts of Fonz bein a he to a she..... My precious little Fonz is a girl... Took her to the Avian Vet the other day and Deano their boy just loved her @@ was woot wooing her and saying 'now, whats this all about, huh?' And after a look it was confirmed.. So now...

Wow guys, thank you so much for all your replys!! I actually have the TomCat stuff on my window sil ready for use but i didnt wanna put it out before reading some replys!! Think i'll start this afternoon,,, they are really bugging me... Give thi birds cage a real good scrub down and go from there......

Ok so as we all know our little feathered friends can be quite messy, and during the day i'm not home to clean it up... We also feed them loads of yummy things.... We have not long ago moved to the beach... With this move, and my little darlings diet/mess we have had a mouse problem.. Now I now they...

After seeing these images, I now 70%, ok maybe 80% think Fonz is a girl!!! Now I know this is not good, but the pic where the male IRN is on top of the female IRN, this is exactly what Fonz looks like when I scratch him/her!! So who am I kiddin, Its a girl!! And she has bonded with me thats for sure...

I think Charlie is a cute name.. My friends parents rescued a blue with only one leg, he's so cool, he does all the things the others can, gives them a run for their money!! Let us know what you decide!!

Hey guys just a quick question, I noticed on Fonzies leg the other day a small sore, I wasnt an open wound, and the skin was kind of peeling away from around it. I could tell it was bothering him and to me it was swollen.. I took him to the vet and he was given his first needle (anti-inflammatory) s...

You should always clip both wings

Ok, i did not know that. But of course it makes sense about being thrown off balance.

Thank for your reply, we shall keep on waiting.I had a good look and I can see the beginings of new feathers.

Hi guys, Just curious, Fonz had both (for some reason)wings clipped when I picked him up from the breeders son, as you can see from the pic below they are quite short. We have had him for about 2 months now and I havent seen and change in the length of his wings. I know with my cockatiels I would ha...

My little Fonz loves the shower, I let it bounce off my shoulder and the finer spray hits him, he bathes in that.. Put him up on the screen and he will try anything to get back down to me.. Splays his wings out rubs his head from side to side against his shoulders.. So cute to watch but he doesnt un...

LOL arent birds the greatest!! We have only heard a squeak of a wolf whistle out of Fonz,among other squarks, but he's only young, oh how I would love for him to play tricks on my BF!!
