Re: 10 month old IRN

A week isn't enough time for any bird to feel safe let the bird see whats going on in the house & let him get use to it before trying to tame

Re: I have just bought my first bird and its a IRN.

A couple of weeks ago I was in the pet store (my favourite place - I have an English Bulldog, Tropical fish and a Turtle) and I saw this beautiful Blue bird and bought it there and then along with a big cage and some toys. The Pet store person said she knew nothing about these birds and to jump on ...

Re: Cockatiels and ringnecks in the same aviary?

I don't think they should be together unless both birds are tame & there is tight super vision. I would be scared the IRN would kill the smaller birds. I have seen IRN & Parrotlets playing on the same perch on Youtube

Re: How I tamed my 2 year old non handfed RIngneck

Yes, I bought my IRN from aviary/breeder in AR & had it shipped to Boston. Don't believe it can't be tamed any bird can with time & patience. It's like a white horse it can be tamed. Your doing very well so far just keep up what your doing :)

Re: How I tamed my 2 year old non handfed RIngneck

The glove I use is just a suede winter glove with insulation inside so when he nibbles/bites me I don't feel it. Hold the bird sing & talk to the bird & give some fruit as treats. I just got my 8 month old IRN on Christmas day & after 4 days of holding him with gloves I put him on top of...

Re: How I tamed my 2 year old non handfed RIngneck

I should also add: My bird has access to food 24 hours a day & when I take him out of his cage to hold him I feed him fresh fruits & vegetables while I'm holding him.
