Egg and fruits and veggies are all great to feed to the parents while they are raising babies; I think we may be having a miscommunication?

At this moment - no, we don't have a miscommunication (we had it before) - yes, you understood right - this person doesn't give his (adult) parrots eggs untill their babies are one week old and doesn't give fruits and veggies untill one month old. I don't have any experience with IRN's but I was raising Bourkes - mainly in natural way like he and his way is so silly to me... My male Bourke always when his first babie is hatched, I see what he wants - more different food and he always tries to show me it.... I'm courius how he was feeding his (adult) parrots during this one month without veggies and fruits. Maybe after this question he deleted the all post... The most interesting - a breeder said to him to do like this. Thanks for your answer, I thought so he is crazy

Absolutely gorgeous. Do you let them choose their mates or do you pick for them (as much as that’s possible, I know they have opinions)?

These two pairs are high end mutations and I picked their mates but with all my birds if they seem unhappy I switch them. Several of my pairs picked their own this year both those that didn’t have someone picked seem happy with my choices.

When you need a nap but mommy needs to work...

When you’re totally snuggling your brother’s cat without asking him first

When mommy has baby birds but won’t let you touch them unless she’s holding them

When you find a “baby bird box” with no birds in it so you put your favorite toy in it and call it “baby blue truck in a box” and get shavings all over the entire house

Taji Iraq has been attacked. My brother is stationed there, we haven’t heard from him. We know 3 are dead (two Americans and one UK citizen), 12 injured, 5 critically.

All my thoughts are with your family. I hope you hear from him soon.

Same here, I hope you hear from him very soon. The whole situation there is in such a state of flux.

Horrific attack. Hope your brother is safe and able to send word soon, Dani.

 

[SilverSage]

Thank you all! We still have not heard directly from him but have heard from his chain of command that he is alive and uninjured.

I know this is an international forum and that the American presence in the middle east may be a difficult subject for some, but I appreciate the support.
