okay,...You dont 'skip' meals to encourage appetite, its a very silly idea, very. You merely change the mixture to a slightly thinner mix so its digested quicker etc after feeding so its hungrier at feeding allocation time.
You never force feed an animal unless circumstances like emergency rescues etc. You inflict so much stress on them doing that.
i actually call some of breeder to ask weather they want to help, they saidThe purpose of this forum is to help, but unfortunately, its not ethical to take in sick and young birds if you dont have the equipment to do so, and end up doing a half baked job of it, you end up risking more permanent and lasting physical issues for the bird. It is easy and cheap to make a very BASIC brooder, a light globe, a fitting and a bucket with a thermometre I have seen being used as a last resort emergency brooder... it all depends on what effort you want to put in.
Getting the bird sexed is disturbing.Fah wrote:Like julie said, try thickening the mixture, and set a time of the day (early to mid afternoons preferable) to do the feed, and let the little tiger sort him/herself out for the rest of the day... screaming is natural, why would you want an easy thing to stop? heh, just force the issue... if its eating on its own, it will just start doing so more.
You can ignore any rubbish anyone tells you about myths and hypes about bird sex tendencies in IRN's.
Ignorance breeds ignorance, and this is why I stopped posting in all of the 'what sex is my bird' threads on the forum, cos I got tired of saying the same thing over and over to people who dont look up some simple answers or read the rest of the forum titles briefly first lol
There are three ways to sex your bird, and im affraid those who say otherwise are going on their good guessing chances or their ability to talk to animals lol.
1) DNA
2) Surgical
3) Wait till it either gets a ring... or doesnt... and this is around 2yrs you should see something happening (but you cant set a date with it...)
I can tell you why people still try to bulls**t others about sex etc its because the majority of people want a male for the ring... and most people are too cheap to bother getting the bird sexed...
