As of yesterday, my baby IRN has almost completely stopped opening his right eye, except when eating. I can't see anything wrong with the eye. Is it just a phase he's passing through or could it be more serious? Please help!

Hello guys, I currently have a 2 week old IRN. He (or she, we'll just have to wait and see :) ) is the fuzziest and cutest thing, and just loves snuggling in my fingers!

I wouldn't be comfortable giving meat to my birds. They don't eat any in the wild (except maybe insects), so I highly doubt that they'd be able to properly digest all of it.
They might also get worms.

Very informative, thanks
I'd heard that avocado was no good for sparrows and mynahs as it could be toxic; does the same apply to IRNs?

I just bought a baby ringneck a few days back. It's my second time with baby birds, the first being with sparrows I rescued from some local kids. The thing is, he poops a LOT :lol: . And while that may not be a problem, his poop gets stuck to the matting (currently I use jade strings), and it then c...
