Hello, I'am beginning to think that what Aero has is natural after seeing some pictures of other birds her in the forum.

Look at the second picture. The line between the eye and cere is what I was describing. Hope this is normal

Hello everybody, When I bought Aero, the pet store manager told me to feed him a mix of pellets and seed mix. So basically i noticed that my sneaky Aero is not eating the pellets and only the seed. I think that the best thing to do is give 3 days pellets and 4 days seeds alternating between the two...

A big thank you to:

Doodlebug, ellieelectrons and MissK

AlphaWolf

Weird, same as mine, Very short feathers.

AlphaWolf

Thanks Doodlebug, When I turn my back on Aero does he know that I'am still in the room. Using your technique and modifying it by also using my laptop screen as a mirror, I saw him eat, play, yawn, beak rub and chew the bars. Is this good progress cause I'am happy. He is beginning to make some noise...

AlphaWolf

Hello Khaled,
Is your bird moulting??? My bird has something similar but it's not bald. Just a thin grey-brown line from the eyes to the nostrils. Hope it's nothing serious.

AlphaWolf

MissK- No he is actually biting the cage bars and chewing them. He is also trying to push his beak and maybe even his head through the corner bars.

AlphaWolf

Hello, So using Doodlebug's technique I started observing some of Aero's behaviour that I never saw before. For example he goes to the top corners of his cage and he chews his cage and pushes himself into the corner biting and chewing at the same time. I'am getting worries in case he swallows the p...

AlphaWolf

Doodlebug-OMG!!! I wish I can send you a big box of chocolate!!! I did what you said and left a piece of apple in his cage and turned my back on him. I then left the room and when I came back there he was eating an apple. I entered the room as quite as I can and was saying to myself: He will drop i...

AlphaWolf

Thanks a lot doodlebug. So for the next couple of days shall I just keep my back on him and give him treats. Ok one thing, Sometimes when I approach him he starting jumping from perch to perch to the floor and climbing the walls of his cage and flying back to his perch again. But also sometimes whe...

AlphaWolf

Hello Doodlebug, It's such a sigh of relief to know that my bird is not ill and that you have the same thing. My bird is moulting and I'am seeing down feathers everywhere. Also I see some grey stick-things coming out of the wing. They are very thin and I not a pin feathers. My bird's plumage is all...

AlphaWolf

Hello ellie, Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, I cannot open my bedroom windows because outside is much hotter than inside. Normally we swich on the AC all day. My Dad also tells me that it is not good for our health to keep switiching on and off the AC because the sudden change of temperatu...

AlphaWolf

Thank you all of you guys for you extreme help and support. I cannot wish for better help. Sorry for pestering you guys with question. I think I will stay in this forum for a very very long time, helping everyone and updating about my FIDS. MissK, I love the green colour IRN, that is why I have a g...

AlphaWolf

Thx a billion MissK. Can you please post a picture of rocky???

AlphaWolf

Hello MissK, I'am starting to spend all day in my bedroom. My bedroom is probably the safest place. This is because nearly all downstairs is connected together to make one BIG room and the kitchen is part of it. My Mom uses teflon which is extremely dangerous to birds. Also one wall is a glass wind...

AlphaWolf

Hello MissK, Your post was so sweet it kept me smiling all the way! Thx :D The budgies are not mine but my sisters, and they are so much easier to train. My sister is already trying to them the step-up. Makes me green with envy :mrgreen: . But I know that taming my IRN will be much more rewarding. ...

AlphaWolf

Hello, I'am now sure that he is moulting. I can see 4 weird thin lines coming of of his wing. Doesn't look like a pin feather though. Who's bird here is going through a moult? And a another thing, sometimes I notice that his tail is slightly shaking and vibrating, and when he is scared his wings so...

AlphaWolf

Helle Doodlebug, Doodlebug is soooo beautiful. His plumage is vibrant, so much better than mine. A real proof of your good care!!! Keep up the good work mate. About the AC, the reason why asked and didn't switch the AC on for all these days was because of fear of draught. But even if the is under t...

AlphaWolf

OMG,they are soo beautiful. They remind of a parrot I had long ago called Cocoza. Keep the pics coming.

AlphaWolf

Thx MissK. So how is doodlebug, is there an update. Oh and Aero sent a message too doodlebug, WHY AM I SO ITCHY AND WHY IS THIS MONSTER BOTHERING ME. I kinda like his apples though". I love reading your progress. Unfortunatley the petstore clipped his wings :( Cant wait for him to fly and harn...

AlphaWolf

What a nice name, Pipi. I'am stuck on what to choose: Jade,Aero or Rascal! :roll: My bird is also moulting. Lol I too hopes he is a boy, he has a light green ring and loves to crane his head! What a coincidence. All these people here in the forums are sooo kind and helpful. I wonder what the commun...

AlphaWolf

Ugh, I ran out of apples again. Let's see if he likes kiwi? Oh and kiwi is safe as I have read conflicting articles about it.

AlphaWolf

Helle everyone, thanks for the warm welcome and kind words. @Loo, your idea is wonderful. Can't wait to try it out today. Btw about the napping, my cage is 1.5 metres away from my bed :). However only one problem, the cage is under the AC but the wind is directed above it. Can we switch on the AC a...

AlphaWolf

Happy for you Nikolas. About the photos question, I beleive that you can oly upload photos when you post about 1-15 posts and remain in the forum for 5 days. Cant wait to see your little guy. What are you going to name him? I'am still stuck in choosing my fid's name :roll: . Please keep us updated ...

AlphaWolf

:lol: :lol: :lol: The Beakinator!!! You guys really made me laugh. @InTheAir plz give my curtsy his Royal Birdiness Snuggles. Lovely suggestions. Cleaned some apple, without the skin due to fear of pesticides, and ate my half in front of him. He stared at me whilst making the...Mmm Mmm noises. I ga...

AlphaWolf

OMG, your violet IRN is soooooo beautiful and cute. Quick question: Do 8 month old IRN already pass their bluffing phase, or can it occur after 8 months???

AlphaWolf

Hello ellie, Thanks for your advice. It's a big sigh of relief that it is not feather plucking. About the diet thing, I'am currently feeding him a mixture of seed mix and pellets. But the little rascal is leaving the pellets and eating the seeds. I think I will alternate between the mix and pellets...

AlphaWolf

I'am so happy for you. Cant wait for the day when I will make a similar post. :wink: Gracie looks sooooo beautiful and cute!!! No wonder why you wanted to scratch her lovely head. And thank you for the pics, keep them coming :). I which Gracie could send a message to Aero/Rascal/Jade to persuade th...

AlphaWolf

Thank you ellie for the tips, Whenever I put my hand inside the cage, or replcae the food and water bowls. I talk softly and comfort them. I do not make eye contact as they are prey animals and move slowly with any rapid movements. I had him for 3 days now( today is the 4th) and I can approach his ...

AlphaWolf

Thank you for your warm welcome. Yes, I will let him settle in before starting training. He still doesnt eat in my presence and only plays once or twice with me. However, I learned that patience is the best approach. I started reading to him The Hunger Games and singing to him songs, now can I can ...

AlphaWolf

Enjoy your new bird. I just bought my new green IRN 3 days ago. And like yours is 8 month old.
Please keep us updated with your progress in taming.

AlphaWolf

OMG, mine too. Funny in a really cheeky way. Mmm...how old is your ringneck btw? Mine is 8 months old.

AlphaWolf

AlphaWolf

Welcome to the forum. Just joined myself a couple of hours. What colour is your new indian ringneck? Mine is a beautiful green that I love. Take care.

AlphaWolf

OMG, you must be feeling super happy now. I just got my bird 3 days ago, a beautiful green IRN. Just out of curiosity, which color morph is Gracie and how old is she. Oh, and how long did it take you in total to get her to step up? Cant wait to experience the same thing. I'am guessing it will be a ...

AlphaWolf

Thx for the quick reply. From my lurking I know that you are quite an amazing IRN owner. Gr8 pleasure to know you. As you said, I will take it easy and not push till he feels ready. I want to teach that my hand is a treat hand and should be "revered". :) I will go with baby steps so as no...

Hello everyone and IRN lovers from all over the world, I have dreamt to have an indian ringneck parakeets for as long as I can remember.
