Hi there,

I'm searching around for a blue/violet mutation, preferably from a Brisbane breeder. Not fussed on gender.

Would like a young IRN, no more than 9 months to a year old.

Let me know if anyone has any contacts, or if you can help me out

Thanks!

If anyone happens to come across any breeders in Brisbane/QLD, my friend is after a baby violet/blue ring neck too, no preference in gender.

I know they are a rare find, so she is willing to wait it out. But let me know if anyone comes across them

Fingers crossed for you to danielgo__

Isn't she just! She loves the camera, can you tell!? Haha

Oh that's okay Ellie, I don't actually know whether she's a boy or a girl, but I've just gotten used to calling her a she haha. I'm hoping to get a DNA test done soon

Oh great! You don't think that trying to train as early as 9 months is too much for them? I'd love to start with Charlie.

This is me and Charlie!

HIIII EVERYONE

Just wanted to share a photo of my gorgeous little Charlie I took this photo only a couple of days after I brought her home. Isn't she gorgeous!?

Those videos are adorable!

How long have you had Janey and Charlie for? How long has it taken you to get to this stage of training with them? They're so clever!

Fingers crossed I can do this with my Charlie one day!

I have an update! A good one too! I've had the past week off work, which has given me the chance to bond with Charlie more than usual. It was great. For the first time since I've had her, Charlie is coming out of her cage herself, and even if she is in her cage, she'll jump straight on my finger as ...

Hi Claire, Thanks! The vet trip was interesting... the vet seems to think that she has a dud nerve in one of her claws on her left foot. It's just really floppy compared to the other claws, but doesn't cause her any pain. He seems to think it may be as a result of an injury when she was younger, tha...

I'm taking Charlie to the vet this afternoon! I'll get a standard health check done, and I'm hoping to find out whether she's actually a girl or not! Fingers crossed she's a healthy little bird! MissK - thanks for the tips, I'll give it all a try and see how I go. She is very protective of the cage,...

Hi everyone :) I just wanted to give you an update on how Charlie is going. I clipped her other wing on the weekend (only the flight wing), and it's almost like I have a different bird. When we first did it, she was a little stressed and tried flying straight back to her cage, only to realise she di...

Hello again :) Ellie, your IRN's are gorgeous! I've shown my BF and dad the videos, absolutely adorable. Fingers crossed I can train Charlie up like that one day! In regards to the two birds mingling, the Alex would only be a baby - 10 to 12 weeks old. We would of course have them in seperate cages ...

Hey Everyone :) Ellie, at least you have an explanation for naming your IRN Charlie! Mine just came out of no where, just seemed suitable, mostly becuase I don't actually know if its a he or a she, but Charlie suits for both :) So I think I'm just going to go and get her other wing clipped on the we...

You guys are such great help! I'm so glad I found this site! So tonight I found Charlie's food weakness (which will now be used as her treat). Not sure if anyone else has tried it before, but I mashed up some sweet potato and she LOVED it! Definitely recommend trying it with your IRN if you haven't ...

Hi Claire, Thanks so much for your reply. I was a bit concerned about her being able to fly - at the moment it seems she hasn't really grasped the concept that windows and walls are solid, which frightens me because I'm worried she'll hurt herself. She's also only got one wing clipped... should I ge...

Hey guys :D I'm fairly new around here and have literally spent hours reading through as many posts as I can to try and learn and understand my 8 month old IRN, Charlie. She/he (we'll go with a "she" for now) is one of the most gentle birds I've ever come across, and she has never bitten m...
