he has a black ring with some pink/red bits coming through, so i think he still has more developing to do!

my irn is nearly 2 and his behaviour has changed over the last few days. he is screeching all the time to come out. then when i put my hand in he backs off. he would never normally back off as he loves his time out of the cage. so i walk off and then he starts yelling again. after a few time he even...

i have seen and held many before at bird shows and at zoos. they can become very tame and friendlly birds and are gorgeous to look at. They are more suited to an aviary though as they squirt the droppings in liquid form and with some force! they need more fresh fruit than most parrots and if they do...

aviary???

IM Moving house soon and have a small second bedroom which i was thinking of turning into an aviary for Floyd (irn) and then having the grey in a cage in the living room. Floyd currently has a cage. would he be happy enough to move into an aviary? or is that a silly question? cheers guys

2 birds...will they talk?

i have a six month old IRN named Floyd. he is really cool and such a character (im sure u know what i mean). was thinking of getting an amazon and would keep them caged seperately. Is there a danger that two birds in the same room would stop them from talking?
