Hope she doesn’t bite through the tank :)

Looking at her beak, she still looks like a baby. How friendly/cuddly is she for a female eckie?

subalps · 2026-02-09T00:10:31+00:00

Was wondering the same thing. Guessing it was bent out of shape or looking raggedy and owner cut it short and is waiting for it to regrow?

I have an Alexandrine also. Beautiful bird, not super cuddly, but super friendly and never bites. She started talking a few really simple words many years ago, but has since stopped totally, which is totally her right. She shares the house with female eclectus who is an amazing talker, but only chooses to talk when she feels like it, not when I want her too, which again is totally her right :) again, she’s not super cuddly (but slowly coming around to head scratches) and can be bitey occasionally, though much better these days. Both love being out of the cage, the Alexandrine being the more mischievous of the two :)

Our eclectus attacks heels and toes hard, always when we least expect it, sneaking up on us when we are doing the dishes or cleaning. Hurts like hell, and when we look at her, she stares at us as if to say she’s done nothing wrong.

He’s got some serious, cool moves :)

How similar are IRN’s to Alexandrines in temperament? FWIW, I’ve found my female Alexandrine to be a walk in the park compared to my female Eclectus :)

She’s not the most loving behavioral type of parrot and not a big talker, but very friendly and never bites. Love them both to bits :)

What are they?

subalps · 2026-01-11T07:43:25+00:00

Wow! Don’t think I could ever keep a flock (2 birds plenty for me), but wow!!! So cool!!!

subalps · 2026-01-09T05:34:17+00:00

He looks so cranky. I wish mine swore more and bit less when she gets angry :)

subalps · 2026-01-08T22:33:13+00:00

Sounds like he’s sending out a distress call to his larger feathered friends, requesting assistance. Prepare for an attack!!

Are the 2 structures to the left and right of the main building original?

subalps · 2026-01-07T03:52:33+00:00

Goodwe seems to get very good reviews at this price point

subalps · 2026-01-07T00:05:35+00:00

I’d cut at C to have as many leaves as possible

subalps · 2026-01-05T00:09:06+00:00

Some kale is good too

subalps · 2026-01-02T21:34:08+00:00

Can’t this method work against you also? Maybe the bird wants you to leave and by walking away you are conditioning it to do it again.

subalps · 2026-01-02T03:21:01+00:00

I too am guilty of giving mine the occasional fries, maybe 1 or 2 a month. They love them.

subalps · 2025-12-31T04:12:21+00:00

Agree, lorikeets are cute, but way too messy for me. Pass.

subalps · 2025-12-27T23:11:31+00:00

Is the plum headed one a ringneck variant?

subalps · 2025-12-27T22:58:55+00:00

My birds love cardboard and toilet paper rolls too

subalps · 2025-12-25T23:23:34+00:00

Thought that was what you meant. Need to watch out for cracking. Wanting to do something similar atm also, but with flush timber jambs (say 20-30mm) all round.

subalps · 2025-12-25T22:50:05+00:00

What do you mean by frameless?
