Hello,
I am considering taking this female IRN. She's gorgeous and talks up a storm. I think she is 3 years old. The story is that the family had never owned birds, and they have young kids...so she started biting, and got left in the cage more and more. She will talk up a storm, and she was letting me scratch her neck through the cage but after they kept saying how bad the bites are I quit. LOL They said "she is a complete b***"
I have: a rescued pionus that is rather complicated, he will come out but only on his terms. I adore him.
A 4 mo. old baby lovebird that is attached to hubby
A rescued parrotlet, male, age unknown that also loves hubby and can't stand for me to even walk into the room.
An aviary full of finches.
I would really like a bird that 'likes' me...the pionus bites me enough! I don't mind working through it with her, do you think I could even get her to a point where she won't bite? Or just skip it, as I still work with the pi constantly and am also training the lovebird (another biter, but I feel pretty sure it's his age)?
If I thought there was *any* chance we could get over the biting hurdle I would take her in a heartbeat. Leaning on you IRN owners for guidance.
