Mine was aviary hatched and parent reared in the UK. Not All have been smuggled in illegally.

You don't say how old. The males don't get their collar until around 18 months. We were lied to about Sanjay being Male, she was 8 weeks old. But at age 3 yrs she began clucking and crouching. So we knew she was definitely a hen, and renamed her Sweetie. It doesn't matter y' know, because you won't ...

Billie was loved and cared for, no pet could ask for more.

sanjays mummi

Trust takes time, especially in an aviary bird, they are semi feral. You start off by sitting beside the cage, eat your meals there, he will become curious, and come down to see if there is a morsel for him, you offer treats through the bars too. He may never accept hands, my bird is nine this year,...

sanjays mummi

It looks about the same size as my Liberta Voyager 2nd edition. It should be ok, and easy to keep clean.

sanjays mummi

Definitely plucking, you need an Elizabethan Collar, grapes with seeds inside, a a feather plucking rescue pack from Northern Parrots, or Scarletts, and maybe find out why he is plucking. It could be over zealous preening after his moult, depression,, which is why he isn't eating properly. Or, mites...

sanjays mummi

You need to take him to a vet, asap!

sanjays mummi

If male you will know by two years old. Not All hens lay, only hand reared ones do, mine was aviary hatched and parent reared, she is 9 this year and has Never laid an egg. Gloves terrify them, just allow trust to develop on it's own. Offer treats through the bars, walnut pieces are loved. If you ea...

Hatched 13/09/14??, she looks old enough, petstore staff are not That experienced, my daughter had to teach them how to sex Hamsters!. I don't know where you live but in the UK we have the sales of goods act to fall back on.

sanjays mummi

No, he is far too young!, usually sexually mature around two to three years.

sanjays mummi

Would Liberta the cage manufacturers be able to advise you?, might be worth an ask.

sanjays mummi

Is it lead free?, if not, don't risk it.

sanjays mummi

I personally wouldn't allow it, better safe than sorry.

sanjays mummi

And good hygiene!

sanjays mummi

Are you aware of how quickly a bird can exsanguinate?, leave the feathers alone, and let them die back and fall naturally. Towelling is very stressful, there is no need to use such force, it's definitely a last resort. My bird goes into her cage as soon as I have put fresh food and water in. Half wa...

sanjays mummi

Firstly, it's Not his age, my bird was 8 weeks old and standing normally Not crouching like yours. You should get him checked out by a vet, diarrhea is not to be taken lightly, as for diet, he needs plenty of fresh fruit and veg, and cut out sunflower seeds as they are fatty. Walnuts are better. I a...

sanjays mummi

He needs to trust you, sit next to his cage when you eat, offer tidbits through the bars (walnut halves are much loved), but don't try touching him just yet, nipping is saying "back off".

sanjays mummi

Get him on "Feather Up" asap, and give him grapes which are seeded, the seeds stop feather plucking, it is self harm when they are traumatised, etc.

sanjays mummi

It's spam, and it's destroying this forum.

sanjays mummi

Hello ladies!, some of us are still lurking in the forum!.
If more of us posted, maybe the spam would abate, I've complained to mods about it countless times..
Lavinia for the purple hen?. Anyway,

welcome.

sanjays mummi

Sorry for the late reply, spam puts me off visiting!, anyway, around 18 months , and definitely by 3 years old.

sanjays mummi

Looks like a ringneck to me, maybe had a bad start in life.

sanjays mummi

Try Not to let him get behind you, and push into a bite, I know it hurts and your first instinct is to pull away, but push Into his beak when he bites.

sanjays mummi

Go online and order a product called "Feather Up", sprinkle a little on his food daily, give him as much fresh fruit and vegetables as possible, get a misting (spray) bottle, and add a drop of Rosewater and a drop of glycerin to some lukewarm water, and give him a shower bath once or twice...

sanjays mummi

Black boot button eyes, juvenile feathers, yet you say your bird is six months old or more?, this looks like a baby to me, and especially if the breast feathers have only just come through. Six Months? or six Weeks?

sanjays mummi

A 2 yr old male will have a coloured ring (collar) around his neck.

sanjays mummi

Firstly, sunflower hearts and seeds are high in fat, and should only be used as a treat now and then. Your birds are doing what mine does, Usually when she is looking to see if there is something else underneath.

sanjays mummi

Bobo is obviously semi feral, aviary hatched and parent reared, he is angst biting, as far as he is concerned attack is the best form of defence. Keep him caged until he is thoroughly acclimatised, and has built up more trust, he will feel safe and will realise Rosco has no intention of hurting him.

sanjays mummi

Aww, that's lovely!. At three years my so called DNA sexed male began crouching and clucking, yes, the breeder had lied, but she is the sweetest most affectionate little friend and companion. Yes, disappointed at first, I was looking forward to the collar and tie, but now, I just adore her.

sanjays mummi

If you're really worried, maybe a steam clean with plain water might suit your needs. But make sure you ventilate properly, so you don't get mould spores from a damp warm environment.

sanjays mummi

Find a seed mix containing aniseed, also give coconut oil. There is also a product called "Feather Up" you should be able to buy online, you sprinkle a little on their food, my bird likes the taste.

sanjays mummi

My bird is given fresh rations once a day after I've cleaned the cage. I skewer fruit and vegetables and hang them up, I put half a papaya or melon in a bowl, topped with passion fruit pulp. A bowl of nuts, roasted peanuts and walnut halves, and a bowl of good quality seed. Fresh water (filtered) is...

sanjays mummi

Apart from talking, I don't believe in training birds to do tricks, sorry.

sanjays mummi

Without meaning to sound rude, roll over play dead?, waving, really?, maybe you should get a dog.

sanjays mummi

You are right to think they need hands Off time to settle in. My bird took several weeks. He must also learn to trust you,

sanjays mummi

Stick to a uni sex name, because you can never be 100% about gender until they are over 18 months. It doesn't matter what name you give, unlike dogs, you're not going to be calling it in for dinner. So you can be as inventive as you wish. I recently discovered my bird has a penchant for chewing elec...

sanjays mummi

Our birds do not need a low GI diet.

sanjays mummi

I chucked my anti depressants in the bin just after I got my bird 8 yrs ago, I live with a born comedian!

sanjays mummi

Hi and welcome. My daughter was brought up with German Shepherds and Samoyeds, never had Any problems,
Your birds are cute

sanjays mummi

One of the best attributes of an IRN is it's independence, they are happy with their own company and, with a toy or two, can happily keep themselves occupied. I know I can go out on a day excursion once a year without coming home to my bird sitting on a pile of plucked feathers. As long as you get t...

sanjays mummi

I agree, but the best tree decoration for me is plain white lights with iridescent baubles, and natural pine cones wired to the branches.
Now I have a flat (appt), I have a poinsettia cone made of silk poinsettia foliage.

sanjays mummi

I am so sorry to hear this. I am bound to wonder if they are male and female, or both the same gender. I am not qualified or experienced, just the owner of one, but my grandfather kept chickens, and generally two cockerels would fight to the death. Unfortunately very few experienced people are on th...

sanjays mummi

He is a very scared, stressed little guy, he thinks attack is the best form of defence. The best you can do for now, is let him settle in, it took my bird a few weeks of sitting beside the cage talking and singing to her. Do the absolute minimum inside his cage, gloves may scare him even more, sorry...

sanjays mummi

Once should be ok, but weetabix contains sugar, so don't offer it very often.

sanjays mummi

If Barney was aviary hatched and parent reared, like mine, he is semi feral, he would have been grabbed from the aviary, and even though my little one is almost 8 yrs old, she is still quite hand shy. The only time I can scritch and tickle is when she crouches and clucks. You Can lessen his fear a l...

sanjays mummi

I don't know the dimensions of the Cortes, but I have a Liberta Voyager 2nd edition and it's superb, it even has a child lock, easy to clean, plus, I received three free toys with it!, one of the perches is slightly short but still fits ok, there is room for other perches, I have always bought Liber...

sanjays mummi

A year sounds excessive, but I suppose they're all different. I'm glad you haven't resorted to wing clipping, they do love a good soar!.
Time and patience are definitely the key.

sanjays mummi

Ten years is still relatively young for a ringneck, their lifespan is 20 to 30 years, personally I would treat her as semi feral, (my bird is semi feral, aviary hatched and parent reared), so don't expect her to enjoy shoulder rides, or to trust hands, however, given time and patience, and lots of t...

TROLL!
