I'm curious about this as well-- but a little bit different... I have an IRN and a budgie. They are in cages right next to each other, but I'm afraid to introduce them to each other because the IRN is so much bigger than the budgie, and the budgie has an attitude to boot! They are both young, the bu...

OH! I forgot to say this: we did get her a fruit ninja toy that she plays with sometimes outside of her cage-- she does enjoy that on occasion.

Hey everyone! We just got our sweet girl on Christmas-- she is the sweetest bird I've ever seen! She comes right to us, cuddles up and coos, lets us pet her and scratch her neck, and tries to preen us all the time. She is not very loud, and just has a very sweet and mild personality. The only thing ...

Hello everyone! Glad to say that Layla the bird made her debut and is settling in quite nicely! She is so sweet and allows all of us to cuddle, feed, and pet her. I was wondering, however, if you think she could be regressing to her bluffing stage since she has had a big move from the pet shop? She ...

Thanks everyone! That gives me some assurance that she might talk then, if she ends up being a "talker"... now... I do believe that she is not a talker, simply because she is just very quiet when I go visit her. I've never heard her so much as peep. The rest of the birds in the store talk ...

She turns 1 on January 16. She is VERY quiet, and I don't think I've EVER heard her so much as peep. It doe...

Thank you! I feel like I want to go crazy because I do have common sense, but I don't want to mess up! With our budgie, Aussie, I have found that he is very moody, and so I tend to just leave him alone if he's in one of his moods, or I will mess with him just to let him know that he's not the boss o...

Hi everyone! I'm back with more questions -- Just wondering how I should treat our new baby when we get her home. I've read a few places that you should leave them in their cage for a few days to let them get used to their surroundings. However, it seems to me (NOT a bird expert) that we should allo...

Hello! I'm fairly new to the board, but have read and read it until my eyes hurt! I thought I remembered reading somewhere that some IRN's were afraid of red fingernails-- and I experienced this today with "my" IRN. We are making payments on her, so she's not technically ours yet, but we w...
