The ironic thing is that I would have never selected an IRN for my next bird. Was leaning towards a Hahn's Macaw. Had very little info on an IRN just what I have heard about those "myths" that are stated in this website. Got Kiwi prior to discovering this website. But as I have stated before and man...

Yep...he is a trip to say the least. Just getting to know his body language. I know when he wants to be held. Its a shame that one of his previous owners did spend a lot of time with him and then when he was handed down, it appears the next owners did nothing. What a shame because he is such a nice ...

Julie...he is a normal green. He was next to a blue ringneck and yellow ringneck. Both those birds colors were stunning to say the least, but Kiwi's personality in that environment (pet store) was so calm. The other two refused to come down from their top perches to check us out... but Kiwi that is ...
