Hi again! I'm trying to train my IRN so that i can handle them. I had them for about two weeks now. They are semi tamed (Meaning i can hand feed them and they seemed to be used to me as they don't fly away from me when i let the out of the cage). They're about 11 Months old. Would it be wise of me t...

Nah, its not clucking, I dunno how to describe it. I'll just have to get them checked out.
I've never seen this behavior before. its like their rinsing their mouth but they start to gargle and go into this trance like state.

Does anyone know an answer for this?

Cause I'm worried about my birds health. They Gargle and they look like their hurting, they close their eyes and goes into this trance for a few sec.
Please help.

I agree. Hand feeding them is the best and it lets them get use to you and their new surround. My Kiwi Loves Apples!

Hi,

My IDNs are doing this weird gargling thing. Is this normal? or is there something wrong with my birds. (they make a popping noise)
Also I just notice that I've purchase the birds when they were about 11 months old is this too late to teach them how to talk?

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

Yeah, it was just first day jidders. I was worried, so i started feeding them apples by hand and they started eating them. After that everything was fair game on their menu.

I've been on this forum about 50x in the pass few days looking for tips/etc. and had finally worked up the courage to buy my first pair. they are about 7 months old. Is it normal for them not to eat due to stress of the new environment? Cause its been about 10 hrs and I haven't seen them eat anythin...
