No, both birds are girls so they don't say anything. Probably just as well or they'd have long since learned to yell (at the dogs outside) WILL YOU GUYS SHUT UP???!!!

Is the OCCASIONAL piece of dry dog food ok for RN's?

My two IRN's (Lucy, lutino F, 3 yrs., Indigo, blue F, 3 yrs.) like to munch on the occasional piece of dry dog food (3-4 times a week, Purina Little Bites Indoor Complete). I know this food isn't designed for birds (obviously!) but they do love it - my question is, is it OKAY to let them have it? Ma...

Hello from a new IRN Board member

I just discovered this board today, although I've had my two IRN's for almost a year, a blue and a lutino. Unfortunately, they hate each other so can't be housed together. I know the lutino, Lucy, is a girl (over 2 years old, no ring), but I thought the blue, Indigo, was a boy--except now that "he" ...
