TWIX

Ohhh, what a story! This made me cry and happy at the same time. I am truly happy you found your precious Zuri, and i hope this will never happen again. He is really cute when he said: Time for bed

Congrats and welcome to the forums

Sounds like you're describing my DJ and yes they are a lot of fun

He's a talker ! Wonderful, there will be a time when you wish he could stop talking for a minute. DJ is driving us crazy, but thank god he sleeps well when bed time

DJ is going through the same stage, he does talk a lot but i can't understand everything e say yet. Sometimes he sounds just like me, and sometimes it's just bla bla bla. He reminds me of Susu when he started talking and saying lots of bla bla bla, now he talks really clear for being an IRN. I love it when they tell me "I LOVE YOU", especially in the morning

Great, i still can't get any of my parrots to turn on their back like that!

Woooohoooooo

Hey Aerial, i am around! I thought i don't see you around much lol. I do check the forums daily but i am loaded with work these days. DjJ is doing really well, the bond between us is outstanding. He is getting more fun everyday and the whole family love him. I still need to get him accept the rest of the flock though. No one can touch him but me, he won't accept anyone! They try hard, using all sort of treats and his favorite food, but hey, not a chance yet. Almost accepted my daughter two months ago and now he changed his mind. Tia keeps asking me: Daddy, when will DJ be my friend? lol i have taken some videos of him and Susu, and hopefully i can upload them soon. Good to hear back from you How is Ms.Marco doing?

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

IRNs are awesome parrots, i can tell you that! They are extremely playful but very independent. Unlike CAGs, they want to be on their own and behave as if they own your house. My IRN is now 4 years and 7 months, he loves me and i love him back. But he bites real hard if i try and stop him from damaging anything at home, this means if he wants to remove one of the buttons on my keyboard i can't stop him. I have three keys missing already. They need attention just like all parrots, but sometimes they must be left alone. They are not as messy as CAGs, little cleaning is needed daily. Their talking ability is limited compared to CAGs, Susu didn't learn much and i had him since he was a very small baby (Three weeks old i think). He does say "I Love you", "Good Boy", "Hello", "Come Here" and he makes some funny sounds or laugh like me. Their flying ability is great and can fly really well in small places. They rarely get sick and in Susu's case he never did "Thank God". I would never sell him or give him away as we developed a very strong bond already, and he is part of my family now. IRNs are a lot of fun and great companions if you want the truth, but they are a little aggressive and more territorial than other parrots. IRNs are now known to be part of the local wild life of the UAE. You see them flying everywhere these days, and the UAE Government had to control their population during the last few years and caught thousands of them. Regarding the breeder, check your private message.

Well done

God bless! It breaks my heart to see Bubba like that but you are an Angel for giving him a home.

That's so peaceful! It's summer here, humidity and temperature are killers. We won't enjoy the outdoors until the end of November. Enjoy it while you can

Wonderful scenery, you're so lucky

Congrats, the love just started

That's lovely, i have never seen Twix flying. I hope i do one day

Super cute

I am not an expert of Genetics and you maybe right after all! I just thought as long as it'sa natural process than it should be fine, but like i said you may be right.

Dave, i do respect what you wrote over here, but i do not think that breeding for color will affect their health in any way! As long as two healthy Greys are mating, then there should be no issues at all. The red factor genes will show more in the new generation but that's all. He is not altering any genes here at all! Don't you agree?

Unfortunately, the UAE has restrictions these days on importing birds to the UAE. I wish i could order one I really like the set up you did, and not to forget how clean are the cages. That's a lot of work, well done.
