He now eats from my hand even when i put my hand in the cage
He still bites though and does not come near the hand when there's no food
I also discovered that his favorite food was sunflower seeds

Is mango tree wood safe?
I guess i'll just go search for some pinecones then

Thanks
I'll keep you updated

How will i know if they are toxic?
an update: he now sleeps in front of me and will come out of it's cage on it's own
He bites less too

He does have a rope which i put there for him to climb an chew on
I'm working on getting other toys for him right now
Does anyone have some ideas as to what i might put in his cage?

Thanks for the tips He did come out and explored the house a little was a hard time putting him back though and i got bit several time but i got used to it I also tried to pay this little game you talked about and when i opened my eyes, he was actually trying to do the same and was almost sleeping H...

well, when i put my hands near him through the bars, he just goes to the other side of the cage
and he wont come out of his cage

Hi everyone, i finally got my irn We called him Vikram and i believe he's a male as even though he is too young to exhibit his ring, i do see some bit of black I got him yesterday and the seller said to me that he was approx 3-4 months I clipped his wings today and i think that because of this, he a...

That's the main problem, i dont know of any breeders here apart from some guys working at the wildlife foundation and who breed echo parakeets, but i'm sure no one of them would be willing to give their chicks.I'm almost sure that the IRN are imported As for the possibility that it may not like to b...

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone

I already helped a friend numerous time before clip his cockatiel
Its just that he used to clip all 10 feathers.
We used to hold the bird in a towel then, somebody would clip the wings

so, i need to clip the 10 primary feathers?

Thanks a lot for replying
six months is not that long if you think about it
Will clipping help?because i'm seriously considering clipping it's wings

yes and the breeding program was very successful They started with about 12 birds and have now reached 500 It is supposed to be endangered, but i know a lot of people who do so and haven't got any problems plus no one ever mentioned that we're not allowed to keep them I'm sure they have been captive...

Yes, the rare echo parakeet, i may eventually be getting one as i did not have the time to get a closer look at the birds.The only external difference is the shorter tail but i was told it has the same behavior as the IRN

I'm about to buy an IRN but i've only been able to find adults and these are untamed
I'd like to know if it is possible to tame an adult and how much time it may take to do so
Thanks in advance for replying
