Hi,

I am new to bird ownership and thought I should introduce myself before hitting the forum with questions. This is an excellent site for new IRN owners and I am so glad I found it.

Petey is my first bird and I got him (or her) from a breeder 10 days ago. He wasn't hand raised but is very tame and has never bitten. He is about 1 year old.



He seems lonely at the moment and I am considering getting him a friend, but am wondering if maybe he needs more time to settle in first.

Just me again. My avatar didnt show so I wanted to try again. I also have a video to post of a playground I made Petey, but he dosen't like it at all.

Welcome to the family! Petey is so cute! I love your picture.

Irns can be fine on there own. I had my Jibby for 6 years without friends. (We had tiels when he was a baby though) Last November I got him a friend and I cannot believe the changes in his behaviour. Definately a good thing! But you don't know if Petey will get along with a friend or not. Its all up to them. Just like us, we don't all get along with every person we meet.

Maybe give Petey some time to get to know you first? Its all up to you.

A big welcome to the family and your baby is adorable !

I would give him some time to get to know you first or he may bond with the new bird rather than you. It will take him a few months to really settle down , become relaxed and begin to play.

So long as he has you, his cage, good food and his toys, regular baths and fresh water he will be the happiest little IRN

Congrats on such a sweet fid.

Welcome to you and Petey! Looking forward to hearing more about your adventures together.

Hello and welcome.Give him some time to get used to his new home and new people and he should come good.
