Just saying hello

[chris&julie]

We are in merry old England and new to all this .
We have two IRN's , one is Charlie (blue) at 10 months old and Perdy(green) is about 4-5 months old . Charlie has had DNA and is a proven male and Perdy ! Well who knows , we were told she had to be female because of her colouring .
We just dont know where to start with them as they are both from aviaries and have had not much contact with us humans .

We have had other birds in the past and are looking forward to the future challenges !

Hi and welcome. There is a few people on here who have parent raised irns. The search function should give you a heap of posts to check out, if you arent too familiar with the search try using different words ie parent raised,untame ect.

Welcome to the forum Chris and Julie.

How are Charlie and Perdy going?

Hello
The birds are settling in well thanks . We clipped their wings last Sunday and then gave them a week to settle again , this week we have a week off work and have started stick training and all seems to be going well . We even had them climbing onto our arms but they soon got off again . We put ourselves in between them and their cage so that they had to get past us to get back to base , they crawled over us , so at least they are having some kind of contact with us . We did 2 little sessions yesterday and today they've got straight onto the stick . So all is going well .
They are eating all varieties of fruit and veg now too .
They do seem to have a little bit of a fight now and then , beaks thrashing ! Not that worried about it but we do hope it doesn't get worse !
Hope all is well with you and your babies .
Cheers
Chris and Julie
