My boy was very feminine himself... just short of clucking. And we all here had decided he was a girl but he and I are so close I just *knew* he was a boy. Your gut is almost as good as a DNA test from what *I* have experienced... we all just seem to know. Our guts tell us. Everytime I would take hi...
Hey Girl! Looked at your Flickr account, very impressed! Lets ask the girls if they would like us to start a thread sharing our work? We LOVE images so we could then look at much stuff, Not just our babies (ya know that gets old even though we love them so!) Can we !? Can we!? No 'candid' shots but ...
Hanging out with yall is really helping me Kyria. My husband notice a difference in me yesterday and asked about it. I told him I had become active here again and it was nice to have contact with the outside world. He didnt want me here, for obvious reasons but I assured him proper admin were in pla...
I know Im crazy and yall are fairly convinced... but I love a mean ol pissed off ringneck. Especially when its from being tired. Mine reminds me of my Paw Paw reincarnated. He closes his eyes then opens them slowly with a hateful look. And ask for a step up... I dare you. Pull back a nub! Actually, ...
Baby and I both say Thank You... he was like Mommie, why dont they love me anymore I assured him yall all still did. I would love to post more, if ya want more. I'll 'Baby' you to death lol. Actually, I have maaaaaany images I would like to share of where I live, if yall ever want to see them, Id lo...
Not the case for all owners though. Cant I get aWoop Woop Ha! Im a regular comedian today! I'll be sooo glad when my surgeries are over and I can walk and get OUT OF THIS HOUSE!!! Ahhh. Gonna have to re-learn to walk first -sigh-. Oh well, I need a break and I got one! I just didnt need it to be my ...
I envy you! Im lucky to have MANY places to go here in Florida but no time to do it. grrr We have sooo many zoos and lil 'off the rd' gift shops that have aviaries for unwated birds. I love photography and really wish I had the time to capture it all and bring it here. One fine day! Shew, school sta...
Are you in the States? Baby is more active right now during molting season. They are little freaks, as long as he is fine before and after, I wouldnt sweat it. Baby gets aggressive and kicks the crap out of everything on his stand so I relate to what you mean. If youre in the states, that might acco...
Congrats! Ahhhh! If I can only be so lucky when I play the ol IRN russian roulette... bout that time. Baby is over 2 and reaching maturity and I always said I would wait until now. No Babies around here until January or so -sigh-. But! It gives me something to be excited about when I have too much g...
Thank you very much. I love them both so much. Such an odd combo but they just eat eachother up! Thank you for commenting on my images, I have recently gotten really into photography so its nice to be noticed as 'average or better'. Thank you, needed that! Art is subjective so I didnt know where I w...
Baby holds on tight to a branch and flaps his wings really hard. I just assumed he was bulding his strength
I suppose they all do it. Baby doesnt act chaotic or freaked out though. Does your bird? He just hangs on tight and flaps.... pauses... flaps and always seeme chiper when doing it.
Their love is so intense and so over-whelming... most can only hope to experience a kind of love they share. Very odd relationship but equally as beautiful. It'll bring tears to your eyes to watch them. Baby the ringneck and his lovely life mate, Peaches. http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d31/picsof...
Monthly reminders are definately a good thing. People enjoy watching them eat so knowing what not to shove in their beak is extremely important. The child is 7, I let him live.
I needed a 30 minute time out for not reminding the family more often of whats not appropriate.
You deserve an award... I have four boys, a house, 2 business's and volunteer at a rescue. You have more energy than most. I dont know many that have the time or energy to tear down and clean a cage daily. Anyone here do a tear day everday? I commend you! If youre speaking of dumping out the tray an...
Screams get no response. Period... not even a glance. Ringnecks are crafty... they dont waste time and energy on things that get no result. My ringneck believes I am unable to hear that noise, therefore not making it. My husband is very noise sensitive so I knew in order to keep a bird I had to have...
We would probably all like bigger cages for our babies but that one is most certainly humane... big enough. And when time permits, you can always sell and move up. They really dont need that much room. They do need larger cages than most smaller birds but I know my Baby prefers his 'Baby cage' over ...
Living in the Keys, ants are a HUGE problem here. Cleaning a cage everyday is simply not realistic to the average person so I avoid feeding them anything in their cage except their staple pellets. Which, thank Heavens, ants dont care for I remove them from their cage and feed them fruits and veggies...
Baby will do anything for a piece of chicken cooked any kind of way. He pins while eating it too and doesnt with any other food. He also loves anything with starch, like a piece of potato... or a french fry, lord have mercy he loves those. ( I know... Bad Mommie ). But he loves them sooo much! And w...
Awww so the puffy is him playing into your tone! Its so cute and unique to me because Baby is always so tight. Baby looks puffy when he sleeps, like Datsun but thats about the only time.
I wanted to throw it out there, like angie said who knows?
I think about ol Dats all the time now. Such a precious soul and the news of the seizures breaks me into tears. I want to get to the bottom of this if the vets cant and I keep thinking: Datsun has always preferred to keep his feathers puffed up, thereby being extremely adorable. BUT... all the ringn...
Yall are so sweet! Im ok, just a little beat up and going to need a few surgeries to repair the bones in my face but Im alive! Amen!
In appreciation for your concern, I wanted to post a few images of Baby so hop over to the photo forum and look at how gorgeous our boy is turning out!!!
If you havent posted yet, this link will help you a lot. I hope you are up and posting images by now! I dont get to log in much. PM me if you have anymore questions.

Im ...
Because Baby makes 'tiel noises and doesnt squawk, I noticed since he started molting really bad he is NOISY! AHHHH!!! I hope this is just a molting thing? Does your bird make more moise during a molt? I reckon Im noticing it so much because otherwise he is quiet. Not the case these days and I didnt...
This should be a lesson for everybody that leaves their birds uncaged and interact together thinking they are friends and buddies. I don't know how many times I have stressed on this board about birds playing together and espeically unsupervised. Don't blame the poor IRN, for all you know he was ju...
Amen! Baby has always been without flight. I wasnt convinced a clipped bird could fly until the other day when he got spooked. He got an impressive distance and taught me... a clipped bird can fly a heck of a light further that I thought. Like you, thank heavens it wasnt a tramatic episode. But, I s...
