Hey all


i was wondering how many of you have other animals and if you do what do you have??

i have 3 dogs

2 cats

1 corn snake


and 1 IRN

my IRN is obviously kept away from the other animals.

will try and post pictures soon

Is there a thread on what the vet's should test a new bird for?

If not does someone mind just jotting it down for me?


Thanks in advance

I think it is good practise to do a new bird check anyway. My Avian vet is about an hours drive away from me, I took my completely untamed bird there 2 days after we got her. She didn't enjoy the trip or the tests, but it is a necessary evil. It didn't get in the way of taming her at all. Just make...

So I need to get Harry to a vet.... I understand this.... My issue is that he is no where near tame! Would taking him unless he is showing symptoms stress him out? He has come so far in a week I don't want to loose that! He looks healthy to my untrained eye and he has become vocal and has lots of en...

Hi,

I have spoken to op via private message...

Sadly he has buried the bird so no post mortem....

It turns out we got our birds from the same place...

Any advice on what to look for in a ill bird would greatly be appreciated.

Op is also contacting websites about seller as I have done.

That's so true thank you!

He has actually been vocal today thats such a great thing ro hear!

My oh is like enjoy it now because he will soon annoy you im like never!

Thank you! So today has consisted of me giving sunflower hearts as treats and Harry making noises at me! So cute! I'm so happy with him! After doing more research I do not believe he is 4/5 months but older.... I've come to terms after speaking to someone who got there bird from the same place and i...

Thanks for all your effort to help me. Unfortunately Mojo died. :((((((((( It is very hard! Although we treated him/her very well, kept him in warm and we were so sensitive we lost him/her. My guess is that he/she was already sick, because it died in 6 days. This means that the seller fooled us. Al...

Hey everyone

I think I didn't explain my self... as Harry is very nervous around people I am wearing white gloves when im entering his cage as with bare hands he squawks. . But with gloves on he is a lot calmer.

Brief about us.... We got Harry on Monday night was aviary breed and petrified. Today we uncovered Harry and I asked my partner have you swapped him? He looks so much more alert happy and content! He has started playing with his toys and is constantly doing something! We have started step up on a pe...

Would love to know how you are getting on!

Hey guys, Sorry if this has been covered did a quick search didn't find anything My non tame IRN has really improved with me wearing white gloves when I have to go into the cage for food and water changes.. Have tried with and without the white gloves and he really is a lot calmer with them on! Want...

Thank you

It was my mistake that the ceiling fan was on and my IRN got hit by it when it was flying and i saw all these feathers coming down. It seemed okay. i checked if anything was broken or even bleeding. Cookie was fine and thank god he was. But now Cookie seemed as if i struck it and runs away from me ...

Hey, I'm new too.... I would be interested in finding out where you got your bird from as it very much sounds like the same person! Our boy was the same we have only had him 2 days but I'm involving him in everything we eat he eats we watch tv he is with us I'm trying to build his confidence by sitt...
