hi Everyone
Just wanting to know can 2 irns live in the
same cage or do I have to have 2 cages so they can become tame and talking.
At the moment penny lets me pat her and give her food but clive is very flighty and nips.
PLEASE HELP BECAUSE I WANT TO 2 WELL BEHAVED FIDS

You have to cage them seperately for their safety. A ringneck will kill another ringneck without giving it a second thought.
This isnt an option or up for debate. Its a fact... it is NOT advisable to house two ringnecks together. It is irresponsible to leave them alone at all unattended... ludicrous to cage them together.
Aviary birds with full-flight would be an exception. They can flee from harm.

Separate cages. They need their space. Their 'home'. If housed together can have some nasty fights.
Sounds like clive is a lil jealous.

definatly seperate cages.
when we first got Toby he and Amazon has goes at each other.
we locked them in thier cages at night so they couldn't get to each other while we were in bed asleep.
we have had Toby for 3 weeks now, and thier cages are still sitting right next to each other but they are never closed now.
but too our suprise Amazon sleeps in his cage now.
before we got Toby he hadn't even looked at his cage for 2 months

Its different when they have bonded. But can still do harm to one another.

View a beak or a toe torn off... makes you think.
Its so sad and horrid... and pisses me off because when it happens, its our fault.
