Gosh, they are funny little creatures!

Re: Biting Bird!

Hey there, And thanks heaps for all your replies. Somehow I did not get the notice that I had replies and only checked today. Well, the thing with Ruby is that he gives no warning signs. He is happy playing away with me which includes my nose touching his beak and so on and in most cases he will alw...

Biting Bird!

Hello again! Does anyone have a clue why my best little friend bites me sometimes without any warning while I play with him? I have a 2 year old male ringneck who is normally really good and does not bite me at all. He likes kisses on his little breast and can be even a bit cuddly at times. Anyway w...

Fussy Eater

Hello there, Can anyone give some hints on how to make a fussy eater a little bit more adventurous and accepting of new foods? I have a 2 year old ringneck boy, who has since I got him as a 3 months old baby been a fussy eater. When I put an array of fresh fruit and vegetables out he only eats the s...

Re: A Buddy for My Male IRN

Hey, Thanks again for all the feedback and thoughts. I just have to go with the flow and with my gut instinct I guess. I like to believe that my buddy - Ruby - is not pushy and not aggressive, just a bit of a manipulator. But hey I love him. I will definitely try to get another boy for him whether i...

Re: A Buddy for My Male IRN

I wish there was an easy answer! :) Anyway, my IRN has been with me since he was 3 months old (I adopted him from someone and are not 100% sure where he comes from) and has apart from the short stint with the other IRN last year, who was a bit of a bully, not been with any other birds. However after...

Re: A Buddy for My Male IRN

Hello there and thanks a lot for your advice. I have been told to get a young bird as a companion, so he would adjust more easily. What is your opinion? Also, my avian vet put the fear of God into me and said to keep new birds away from my bird for at least 8 weeks before introducing them to avoid a...

A Buddy for My Male IRN

Hello there, Can I please get some advice on what kind of bird I should get as companion for my 2 year old male IRN? My IRN is very tame and can be very cuddly at times. Unfortunately I am away for 10h a day during the week and feel that my little friend would profit from having a companion. He is v...
