iv been raising three irn babies and 2 of them learned how to open their cage and fly for the first time at the same time

i was mixing formula for them when one came running out of its cage and when he hit the end of the table he kept right on going and flew right to me

but ever since then all he cares about is getting out and roaming the house
he even flew back into the cage crash landed and cut his cere:( so i took him to a breeder
at the birdfarm and asked her if he was ok she said yes hes fine

it was a huge relief because on top of his cut i was worried he had lost 2much weight lately but she said no hes fine hes a normal size for his age and state of weaning

hes become an active little punk he spends more time wrestling with the door of his cage than eatting :twisted:

I dont know if its because they are so smart and watchful as to how things 'work' or if its because they are great chewers but with IRNs we have to be sooooo careful.

They are too big to be such great escape artists but I cant tell you the times I have gotten out of the shower and Baby is standing in the bathroom floor looking for me.

I look aaaall over her cage and I know there is NO WAY out so it makes me wonder if I put her back lol. They make us second guess ourselves.

I'll throw the shower curtain back and there s/he is... looking up blinking like AH! I wanted in MA!

lol Yeah Prinny too can escape when she wants to. I have to physically put a hook lock on her cage to keep her in. Of couse that's what I call locking her away in the tallest tower. When I come back I am 'rescuing' her...lol yeah she is a real princess...

Dani and Prinny

oh yeah i forgot to add in the first post i took them to the birdfarm to have theyr wings and nails trimmed but the breeder said to leave the nails to help them climb and perch when they are so young so i did
i wish i could get some pics on here they are normal greens but, 1 of them is a really dark colored and the other 2 are really really light almost yellow but my computer is "f"-ing up again it wont recognize my camera pluged into the usb it keeps saying no usb/device or camera detected and theres nothing wrong with the cable or the port its pssn me off :evil:
