Re: Plucking?

I know that there are many different reasons for a bird to pluck but I was wondering if IRNs are a bird that is prone to it... aka they easily get stressed out like an Eclectus does if they're in a high traffic area and then they pluck? Unlike other birds which can be in a crazy household and not ca...

Plucking?

Hi there, So I've noticed that people's IRNs that I've seen in person and on another site, a lot of them seem to be pluckers. Some quite severe and some very minor. My question is, are IRNs another bird (like Eclectus) that are typically prone to plucking behaviors? It would just be a shame if I got...

Re: Question about getting an Un-tame Bird

Thank-you guys for the replies!! I definitely wouldn't want to split up a breeding pair as I know how bonded they can get. When my previous Budgie's mate passed he was so depressed so I can imagine how it would be if you seperated a pair. I have a lot of free time on my hands because I'm not working...

Re: Searching for Knowledge

Thank-you!
I'm one of those people that does extensive research before I get any new animal, don't want to be adding a little one to the family if it's not going to fit in!

Question about getting an Un-tame Bird

Hi there, There is a bird shop near me that has a bunch of IRNs that they are trying to find homes for. They are of varying ages but I believe it's a breeding pair and their offspring. I was told that they aren't tame but when I was in there most of them seemed to at least tolerate your presence alt...

Searching for Knowledge

Hi there! My name is Kayla and I've come here to learn as much as I can about IRNs before I decide on one for myself! I've been considering getting an Indian Ringneck (a Lutino, specifically) for a while now and am just brushing up on my knowledge of them and their care before I get one. :) As for m...
