Hi, I'm just wonderin how would be the best way to tame my two birds... I've been trying for months but they either growl or flutter (one has wings clipped the other did but now have grown back) away when i come close. They step up sometimes, but are not interested at all in taking food from the han...

Both my irns have been living in the same cage quiet happily for over 6 months, they both have their wings clipped and sleep side by side on the same perch.. they have not givin me any indication that they want to kill or mame each other... although i am keeping my eye out for another cage to aid in...

yup that is normal even if there is no male about. She might go through a little bit of stress but thats about it. If u leave the egg in the cage she will soon get sick of trying to hatch it, then u can take it out.

thanx Neokireina... Yes both birds were wild when i got them, i've been training them seperately and they are both stepping up now. Good things do take time like they say... They both seem to get along with each other rather well even though there is a year age difference between them, I think I'll ...

Gotta be careful where u get the clipping done. When i took poska into the vet to get the wings clipped the vet cut the feathers too close to the wing, and there was blood all over my nice yellow bird, at least the vet put something on the wing to stop it bleeding... i'm not going back to that vet a...

Thanx for the advice people... i'm looking for another cage now [/code]

hi, I've got two IRN's in one cage... I've heard that you can't train or tame them if you have them in the same cage, because then they don't rely on human contact. Is there any way around this with out buying another cage or should i just buy another cage?....thanx in advance

jus checkin my signature is workin
Ps: nice sigs everyone

first time i've seen a grey one...nice

I like the blue mutation,,, but i have a green irn,,, you've got to pick one that you like the personality of though, not just the colour.

Never seen a grey irn ,, you should post some pics of it

welcome to the forum

cheers for the taming info

he might just need time to get use to his surroundings a bit... see if you can get him on a stick inside his cage and slowly bring him out ... when i first got my irn she took a few weeks before she came out out of the cage, now when ever i open the door she comes flying out.

I reckon you should wait a while till after you've bought him/her home and see how he/she acts, then find a name that suites.

love the pics skyler hodad66... when i take pics of my irn she trys to dismantle the camera

If u want to train u'r bird u should start off with the "step up" command..
Just use a stick and hold it against the birds chest and the bird should step up automaticly

here is another pic colette sent me ...

new forum... sweet...
well my irn has a habit of putting her toys and fruit in her water dish... and when shes out of the cage she knocks everything off the window sill (ornaments etc) , she just loves it when things drop on the floor.

your pic first has to be on the internet... then u right mouse click on the pic u want and go down the list to "properties", copy the URL address then before u copy it to the message place "[img]"%20at%20the%20start,%20then%20copy%20it%20to%20the%20message%20and%20place%20"[/img]" at the end.. hope ...

check out the topic "boy or girl" in the "IRN photo forum"

cheap toys like a ball with a bell in it, a straw, a twig, a peg, anything really, is the best (because the ringnecks bound to find a way to destroy it)

what a nice story lynnewatts...sorry to hear about tiki though.

nice pic... I like the way IRNs can pin there eyes too, thats one of the reasons I got an IRN.

thanks... cheers for sexing my IRN, I thought it was a male because it has a faint ring around its neck... but i was wrong.

It just takes time. When i got my wild IRN he would flap around in his cage when ever i got close, but after a couple of weeks he started to settle down then i would let him out and give him some treats (like peas, apples, corn) so he would get to know that i was no danger to him. Now at 7months he'...

nice pics, when ever i try to take a photo of katraz he keeps pecking at the lens of the camera so its a mission to take a photo of him.

hey, are IRN's the only bird that can pin their eyes?

thanks for the warning, I had no idea that cardboard rolls were bad for birds. I glad theres a site like this that you learn things from.

my friends IRN also does this weird dance in front of the mirror, someone told me that its a birds war dance. Well thats about all i know sorry.

hello everybody, my IRN ("katraz", because he treats his cage like the prison Al Katraz and can escape out the doors if they're not tired shut)is 7 months old and luvs cellphones (well picking at the buttons anyway, he's not talking yet). He also has a weird habit of dipping his food and toys in the...

I got a dentist too, but my IRN trys pulling my teeth and anything shiny out.
