Hi again. This is Chipper's Mom, some of you may remember. He is fine but still not too social, although hubby can get him out and hold him. He is definately a "man's" bird. Two weeks ago, I got my Angel, a pretty little hen budgie to breed with my Indigo, who is two years old. Angel, I wa...

Yes! We had a bird clipping marathon here Saturday and tended to all five of them, especially toe nails since I also bought some syptic powder. But Chipper was a nice surprise. The gloves were very helpful, since he was not a happy camper in Dan's grip, but after the clipping, we let him explore the...

Hello again. Not much has happened the past two weeks. I did buy a pair of gloves this week, so we will probably clip Chipper on Saturday. I am really nervous about it. All the messages about how cute and personable your babies are, and Chipper sits most of the time, unless we approach the cage and ...

Thank you, Pamela, for that great suggestion! I do have an aloe plant but have never used it, even for burns. If we can get ahold of this little biter again, I will attempt to use the aloe gel. He doesn't seem too bad today, but was calling out before being uncovered this morning, which is unusual f...

Corky, the cockatiel, is 22 years old. He has picked his feathers off his abdomen but has feathers on his wings, head and tail. Today we were trying to force him onto a large dowel stick, trying to get him out of his cage so that the parrot would come out, too. We had given them some play time, and ...

Thank you, everyone! I will take all these comments to heart and decide how we want to handle Chipper. He is just so pretty and it will be a big thrill to have him be responsive to us. I will keep you posted! Donna

Hello again. I guess I am feeling a bit discouraged with Chipper. We were hoping that he would settle down more after a few weeks. I see alot of messages about the baby IRN's, but not so much about the adult bird who is not hand tamed. (we think he is about 3 years old) He really does not like our h...

OK, I am reading alot here and there, and what did I see about this? Don't remember! Chipper has his favorite spot on the perch, sort of where he can watch the world go by. He doesn't play much, but often he slides down the side of the cage and bites at his toe nails. Otherwise, he seems rather calm...

My IRN is bird #5 here. I named him Chipper; it suits him due to the chipping noise he makes. He was given to us by a friend when the owner passed away. The Amazon Red Tail, Morris, and the Cockatiel, Corky, are both about 21 years old. They are best buds and are side by side in their cages here in ...

I just found this board. We adopted Chipper 4 days ago, he is about 3 years old. We have the Amazon: Morris; the Cockatiel: Corky; and two budgies, Jamie and Indigo. Chipper seems to be good natured, but his behavior is that if we approach the cage to talk to him, he climbs around from side to side,...
