Aye, pretty birds indeed!

I gives up on the feathered beasts for I once brought back a fine lesser sulfur crested cockatoo from Germany with me, once in the States she chose she liked it so much she flew away!!

So then I found me a nice miniature type macaw, named him Frodo I did, he was a fine bloke....for about two year, then he too took out to seek Samantha an' make port without me.....

Darn bloody birds!

As a youth I had a might fine cockatiel, fine lad he was, went by the name o' Ringo. Ringo would follow me everywhere, meet me at the door when I come home, he never try to fly away. But one day, whilst at the Pomona county fair (me folks was fair people an' had set camp at the local park there) it twas the very day he first learn ta speak him name aloud! I was a proud young lad that day, we had just set in the go-cart prepair'n ta go inside when ta me surprise he Spoke!! Then just moments later a mangy trailer cat come out of no where and snatched Ringo right off me knee!! I chased that flea bag beast thought the lot til I could hear Ringo's cry's no more....an' Ringo was gone.

Darn bloody cats!

Nay, no more birds fer me....

Now Godzilla (above), he be liken the local cats much, he would just love the day he can get close enough ta one for which ta Catch'em....in his jaws!

(me thinks perhaps Godzilla seeks revenge fer the cockatiel he never knew)

When I was younger, I wanted a wombat.

However, it turned out that wombats can't be legally bought in the US as near as I could tell at the time. Something about how mean they turn and the fact that the tend to dig things up...like house foundations. Oh well.

I have a stuffed wombat I could send you. I really do.

[Misson]

I also have a stuffed wombat that I picked up when I visited Oz. Curiously, I never actually saw a real wombat on that trip. (I declined the Zoo trip in favor of an aborigine forest hike. My loss.) We actually spent more time trying to spot cassowaries for reasons that I'm sure seemed sensible at the time. We saw the remote shadow of one in Daintree Rainforest. (I'd have been better off going to the zoo.)

[MadL]

wombat come from Oz??

an' all this time I thought winged pirate monkeys came from Oz. I be havin ta have a talk with that thar English teacher mum what whom made me read that whole bloody worthless book!!!

*winged pirate monkeys from the emerald island of Oz, indeed!*

[Misson]

They may also have winged monkeys in Australia, but I didn't see them either. I guess I really should have gone to the Zoo...

I did see a whole bunch of really cool Fruit Bats in the park in Sydney.

Did you know that Fruit Bats are not considered bats? At least that's what little Fruit Bat stand in Daintree told us. Perhaps they're actually monkeys. That would clear many things up.

When I was younger, I wanted a wombat.

OMG how cute!

I always swore when I grew up I'd have a Koala bear

They will sit in one spot almost all day and they smell of eucalyptus (which I love the smell of) So I figured what a great pet. I'll put him in his potted tree in the morning and he'll be there when I get home from work. How could you not wanna kiss that nose?

Well I'm grown up, I never did get a Koala bear..but I did have a chinchilla named Fred. These are great pets and cute as anything.

They're about the size of a small cat, softer than soft, have big mousey ears, a tail like a squirrel and feet like a Kangaroo. They don't smell, and bathe in volcanic dust as they come from the Andes. They are also mostly nocturnal. They make a sound sort of like a guinea pig but mostly youll hear chewing

They do require a very large 3 level cage about the size of a desk, and they will chew thru shoes and electrical wires so you need those plastic wire shields. However I used to let Fred roam the house supervised and they are quite amusing. Yeah he disconnected the cable and the inet many times..But he was soooooo cute!

Words from an owner of parrots,

ALWAYS clip your birds wings! That way they cannot fly away. Geesh, even the San Diego Wild Animal park here clips their birds wings.

You also need to clip their talons which can get very sharp.

Gilligan - Senegal parrot

[MadL]

But Rumba Rue, I did clip their wings, honest I did. Trouble was that they kept growin back!

Oh, an' a parrot not the only critter that ye must keep the talons clipped. Just check me arms next time ye sees me

Now about that fruit bat - I says Put A Patch O'r One Eye An' Calls It A Pirate Monkey, that's what I says!!!

This is Abbie, the newest member of our family. She's a six-month old Siamese/silver tabby cross, and has the prettiest blue eyes.

I once had a pair o' pussies, rather said me ex-wife did....till I tossed her o'er board

I found a great way for ta teach pussies respect birds and not attack. Ye see, ye sits there real still an' quite like, let the craft puss sneak up on the bird, an' just the moment the beast pounces ye.....whip yer hand under it and Toss it across the room!!!

Only took a few times befer them pussies learn that birds are SPOOKY creatures and NOT ta be trif'ed with!

same thing works when kitties are where they shouldn't be. i was living with a family when my oldest was a baby. i came into the house (through the kitchen) and one of the cats was up on the stove with its head in one of the pots on the stove. i smacked the cat and it flew through two rooms, kinda hit the wall andtook off up the stairs. my friend asked was that was all about and i told her. she just said good and went back to whatever she was doing.

[The Doctor]

I agree, training birds is much easier. Provided one has a proper sized roasting pan, of course.

[Misson]

My pet.

[Duchess]

Mission, I'm pretty sure PETA doesn't approve of shelacking ones pets...

[Rumba Rue]

My three birds have no fear of my cats. The two bigger ones will bite them if they get too close or just ignore them. The parakeet however does have his flight feathers and can fly away from them. The cats tend to like the little parakeet over the bigger ones, but I am never in fear of them eating him, he's smart enough to get away.

[Misson]

That's slime. Everyone KNOWS that velociraptors were slimy. It's in the encyclopedia...or something.

I find that most house cats (kittypets) are not out to eat the birds, but to play.

Cats love selfpropelled toys.

One of my cats lives with my Dad in the country. This cat used to be a stray and loves the outdoors. My other cats are lounge-cats. Like the soft carpet under their paws. My outdoor cat is 20years old and still hunts like a champ. Catchs birds and keeps the neibours garages clear of mice. A real working cat. He doesn't let a bird outsmart him.

[Capt. Bo of the WTF co.]

I forgot to update on the new horse, that wild one that no-one could do anything with;

He's gained more weight since this was taken last month, and we put the saddle on him for the first time two weeks ago. He just stood there and looked around, and when we lounged him in the round pen he never once kicked or bucked or anything, just trotted around like an "old salt." We won't try to sit him til later this fall, as he is just two years old and we want his back good and strong before we start that. Later..

Bo

[Merrydeath]

awesome horse, Bo!!

and that is one reason why we like you.. your soft touch.

I have one cat presently, but I have 2 HUGE cats at the ex's. He overfeeds them and they weigh 20 lbs or so each. Gannon, my house cat, tries to get out all the time. He was a stray and will kill anything. The other two are farm/house cats and would rather snooze then stalk.
