so I feel bad for not posting a long time and coming in with a sad update. Unfortunately about a week ago our Conure passed away. Its probably a little less sad knowing he was very very old past his 30's I believe (can't remember the exact number anymore). We aren't sure exactly what happened, my si...

Hi a very nice lady on ukpr just told me she could be a cherry conure unfortunately you cant see in that picture that he also has a very red/yellow chest and legs and also has a very deep, blue and pretty tail. The red around his head is there but minimal compared to the pictures I have seen of che...

Okay so its been way more than a month but I figured I would give everyone an update. We moved all the birds into the same room so they arent alone. Its so cute to hear them singing to each other. My birds voice is so musical and she likes to chirp. Sugar plums sounds more gruff and she does this li...

great update, we bought dracula a big cage (he was in one about the same size as sugar plums ) Its amazing what a drastic improvement it has had on his behavior and personality. I am feeling so much better about how he is doing today. Last night I was so upset thinking we would end up hearing he wou...

Okay so this is a very bittersweet update.... Sugar Plum is doing excellent, her feathers around her face are coming in so bright and beautiful and she is molting the others so I am very hopeful she will look at her best very soon. She loves to be held and let out of her cage and runs up to the door...

okay so an update, gave her shower today, she loved it. I just turned on the shower, set it to warm and then had her step up onto my arm and held her near the water so she could shy back if she didnt like it. She dove headfirst into the spray and opened her wings and flapped and then leaned back so ...

pinioning might be right, I think thats what my stepdad called it. Right now we have her quarantined in the guest room but it would be nice if she could hang out with my bird (eventually). Is there any issues with that? Would an IRN and an amazon get along? My stepdad also said the guy had an older ...

The guy said they actually amputated the bottom of the wing and not just clipped her wings . I clip my birds wings so I know what that is, so no confusion there unfortunately (I almost wish there was and that her wings were just clipped). When we take her to the vet my guess is he can tell us if the...

Okay so trying to keep this short. But basically my stepfather was given a 50 year old amazon parrot (orange winged). To say the least its in pretty bad shape. The guy who owned it was over run with pets and his health was failing (he is dying, which is why he gave them all away). The information he...

So I bought some wooden toys with bells for Zero (might change the name later). They were sitting in his cage for days and he ignored them. I rung them when I opened the door to let him hear it and he always seemed to love hearing them. So this weekend I cleaned his cage and moved things around a bi...

I scheduled just a general check up on Saturday for him so I was just going to have him looked at then unless he starts acting funny. But can anyone please tell me something about his color? I am completely clueless

Okay these are all the pictures I have so far. I know nothing about ring neck colors or genes or dilutes etc etc and google wont play nice and give me any form of a guide. So I will need everyone here to tell me about my own bird (lol). But my best guess is he is Turquoise with some cinammon and I d...

yeah I show my gelding, last 3 weekends in a row we had shows. This weekend is another show but we are skipping it and then we are doing the jump show the week after. For the most part we just jump but last weekend was a western show and everyone has been bugging me to do western on him so I did. He...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v242/winter4ever88/inthewind.jpg one on the left is my stepdads border collie cross one to the right is my miniature australian shepherd. He is 2 this year (birthday was a month ago) and he has sired 1 rainbow litter which I still have pictures of and we are hoping...

well not sure this belongs here but the people who know color seems to come here. So I am going to post pics and hope someone can tell me about the colors lol. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v242/winter4ever88/wings.jpg Okay so as I said last night he was out on top of his cage wandering around. ...

I dont retreat when he goes to bite me. I am not going to pick him up or anything, he just lunges at me when I go for his water and food dishes (near his perch and therefore near him). If he gets me I just keep going and grab the dish since a few bites dont bug me that much (doesnt hurt nearly as mu...

I came home today and found seeds in his water bowl and all the peas and corn gone so I am pretty sure he ate. He is a bit more aggressive now and is sticking to not letting me anywhere near him, he reaches out to bite if my hand gets too near and shies away. Since he probably still needs to settle ...

So I finally got to bring home my bird last night (yay). I brought him home in my car, the temperature was nice and no air blowing on him. I pulled him out of his carrier and he bit me pretty hard (his first time biting me, I think it was partially for balance and partiallybecause he was scared), st...

I asked my breeder about clipping because to be honest I just dont feel safe if the wings are not clipped. Same as tying a horse to a hitch post to me I suppose, I know horses and have had horses that ground tie but I dont do it unless they are in an enclosed area because it just takes one thing to ...

very cute babies, I love the colors. Not such a yellow fan myself (new to this so I have not memorized specific names of colors). But is the bird in your avatar yours? If so, what color is that? I saw that avatar and was like *jaw drops* that bird is gorgeous!

okay these are mostly for curiosity and interest. I am not really intent on breeding at the moment but would really like to know a few things in case I do decide to breed somewhere along the road. I read a lot of topics in here so far and learned a lot. But I had a few questions. My baby is hand fed...

thanks for the answers. I saw a big steel bird cage today at the shop when I went to visit him for just $100 stand and all and I think I may just end up getting it (it was sold to them and they are reselling so I will have to bleach and rub it down, I am very particular about reusing things). I didn...

Okay I have never really owned a bird of any type myself. I have taken care of birds that belonged to others etc etc and know the basics. Unfortunately google doesn't seem to want to give me much information on this particular breed no matter how I put it (that being indian ringneck or rose ringneck...
