Kiwi is five months old and molting. I think he is a little cranky because he is just mean. I think my daughter needs to spend more time with him.I wanted a bird that had a good chance to be a talker. The larger Macaws, Amazons, and Greys intimidated me. Quakers are illegal in Kansas, so I chose the IRN. I know it's not a beginner bird so I did a lot of research and I spend a great deal of time with him. Today was our four week mark, and he came and got on my shoulder several times today just for social interaction. I was thrilled to see that he finally seems to be bonding to me... we took that at his pace. He is turning into such a sweet little baby, I'm so glad that I took the step to becoming a bird owner.
Zaza, he is as soft as he looks. But he will definitely get the ring since he is male, but it may take three years to show up.
Here is the video.
