What are your anecdotes on IRN breeding times?

I will make this simple in the form of a dot-point questionnaire. Not to be rude, but I'm not here to chit-chat so please focus on the questions. I'm looking for people who have actually experienced these questions to answer them for me, please don't answer if you haven't lived out the experience of...

Re: Temperature-Handling

I am not certain how you put the blanket on the cage, but I wouldn't wrap the entire cage if it is inside at your living temperature. I would cover the back and sides though to prevent drafts. You want the warm air to be able to get into the cage too. :) You can also explore lighting/heat sources f...

What are everyones Bird's Names?

Hey, I notice alot of people who own IRN's can name them with quite unusual, unique and just downright cruel names. But then again there are also common names, like Oscar. or Skyler. I tend to wonder; if we humans could understand and use in text, a birds language, would we be calling them by their ...

Re: In YOUR own oppinion

How much do you all reckon indian ringnecks can/should cost? I know it depends on mutation and color (even thoug personally I think it shouldn't have to). My only 2 indian ringnecks I owned, one blue and one green. both cost me 100 AUD each. But some proffesional handlers like to say that they are w...

Re: In YOUR own oppinion

@MissK. The owner had no idea what breed or how to handle birds, he new how to put them in an aviary and feed them. I hope this new change for the bird, going from an outside aviary with other birds to a lone cage in my room won't be too harsh for the little fella. I know for sure it's going to be h...

Re: In YOUR own oppinion

@MissK. I would get another color, if i were breeding. But only because I like a little surprise...when the youngling come into this world, I love to see what colors would come up. But if you're so passionate about Green, in which it seems clear that you are. go for gold...err...green. Also I forgot...

Re: In YOUR own oppinion

In your own oppinion. which IRN color do you prefer? I hear most prefer the blue mutation. Blue was my first IRN. But I find Albino more unique. I've seen some fairly beautiful looking yellows. And I call Green IRN's the origin color (which I find a big deal :P).

In YOUR own oppinion

Well, As the subject title says: "In YOUR own oppinion". This Topic is for questions and answers of the sort- but more practical rather than asking about productive things like 'how to keep your bird cage tidy'. Talk about your best moments with your IRN's; Your worst...How old he/she was ...

My Guess is Male.

Re: Temperature-Handling

Thank you, the both of you. This has really made alot more sense to me now. And yes, the temperatures I noted that were 6 degrees celsius and under, was an average outdoor temperature. And the house would normally always be a positive 10 celsius degrees hotter than outside. so at the time my bird wo...

Temperature-Handling

Hi, I used to own my own blue mutation IRN. She was a female about 14 months old. One time on a Winter's morning I woke up to see her at the bottom of the cage...dead. :( I had her since she was about 4 months old, and I tamed her, had a good bond with her and I would take her out each day and she w...
