Hi people i'm Joe from the UK.

In June I got my little IRN called Bud. He's doing really well he was about 16 weeks when I got him. He's a lovely bird and rarely gives me any problems other than putting him to bed sometimes. He never has or will be clipped and is a very good flier.

I think he's got to a stage where he needs the next level of stimulation so I'll be starting some clicker training next week and hopefully start teaching him some tricks. Here are some pics from when I got him up until yesterday.

This is where he spends most of his time

Welcome, Joe and Bud! Lovely baby you have there and wonderful play area! But, if I were you, I would add some tree branches to the contraption because all you have there are dowels which are not good for their feet and legs.

Thanks, I know what you're saying, I do plan to swap the dowels for natural perches when I can find some of the right length and size/shape to fit in the gap properly, although the way you said add some to the contraption has given me a little inspiration :thumbsup: He has natural wood perches in his cage so hopefully keep his feet in good shape until I can sort his play area out.

Thank you Harpmaker :)
