Do IRN's really care about their colours???

I have a green male IRN and I just love him to bits (despite his determining to stay in his cage). He was bred in an aviary of green males and a yellow female. I now have him in a small aviary size cage inside and would like to possibly breed with him. He is somewhere between 3 and 5 yrs old, so mat...

Thanks I will try those things. He is getting better, at least he is actually eating his seed now and will happily eat it in front of us and pick up fruit as well. I took him to the vet clinic to get his wing/s clipped and there were a few different opinions on whether to clip one wing or two. The n...

Billy won't come out of his cage???

I heard the most delightful sound yesterday when Billy started making more sound and even nattering to himself, I hope to have him talking soon.

I am a little worried about Billy if anyone has some advice. He came from an aviary of 8 IRN's and has never been handled. Should I be trying to hold him each day? He doesn't seem to want to attack, which is good so far, but I haven't really tried to handle him. I have lots of toys for him to play w...

Finally!...My very own IRN

After helping my kid brother with canaries, lovebirds and cockateils for years, I have finally got a bird of my own, and the one I've wanted for ages, an Indian Ringneck.
I just got 'Billy' yesterday. Not 100% sure on his age, somewhere between 3 and 5 yrs of age. But he's just beautiful. :D
