painted bird posted:Attempt number 2 at taking conure out of box: she bit my finger and now I'm bleeding. I would recommend getting the birb out when possible. We let squirt have a box in our bedroom, and I think it encouraged a lot of the aggression he showed towards our feet. You don't want your new friend to be cage aggressive.

painted bird posted:Nope, not even then. I spent the better part of a week with my hand in my budgies cage, holding a variety of grass seeds, before she would trust that they weren't murderdeathmachines out to get her. Just remember the size difference between you two, and be patient.

Neddy Seagoon posted:Here's your basic rundown on some of the more beloved cute and cuddly Australian wildlife; If you are driving in a car in the australian outback you have to watch out for kangaroos, because they will jump across the road and slam into your car, and its not fun to hit something that big going 110kph. They also have a habit of bouncing, and will usually end up going through your windscreen. Truck drivers dont really worry about that, because they are up high enough and have enough mass behind them that the kangaroo will just end up bouncing off. They worry more about wombats, because those dense fuckers can flip a road train if they arent careful.

We fostered staffys while having a bird, and it generally went ok, but staffys dont have huge a big prey drive as terriers, so be careful. Dogs are generally intelligent, and will pick up that birb is not for eating, but obviously never leave them alone in a room together. You need to come down hard on any sort of interest that the dog shows in the birb, and reward the poo poo out of behaviour you want to encourage, such as lying down and not doing anything when the birb is out and about. I cant recommend clicker training enough, for both your dog and birb. It really does work well. Pookah (from memory) is a fair bit bigger than the lorikeet I had, so that will probably help.

titties posted:Tons of animals including birds love to eat weed and do it all the time in the wild. The issue here is probably the smoking part since smoke is bad for birds and people. We had to start putting the bird in another room in the house whenever our old dealer was over, because he would go straight for the stash and try to eat it.

A Saucy Bratwurst posted:Thats a really good sized cage, I wish mine were that big. The picture makes it look deceptively small. With what i said about attaching toys to the roof, I just realised you could use a thicker board and get stainless steel screw in hooks or something similar. The bottom board absorbing spilt water and going bad over time is something to think about too but one of the woodworking dudes probably knows a way to deal with that. You can get waterproofing finishes otherwise wooden boats wouldnt work, but I dont know how pet safe they are. Just because I have a lot of it right now, I would be intrigued to try a bees wax finish over it. It would repel water, and isnt toxic. Either that, or just make the floor easily removable, so when it does happen, its no big hassle to replace it.

A Saucy Bratwurst posted:Cassowaries are as mental as cockatoos except huge and with battering rams instead of pinecone bombs. Our snakes and spiders are poisonous as hell but they'll only attack you if you provoke them, cassowaries will kill you just cause they can. They are way scarier imo. Dont forget the razor talons. And tiger snakes will attack you unprovoked, if they feel like it.

A Saucy Bratwurst posted:Do you still live there? I thought all non native parrots were banned from WA? You have a sun conure don't you? Not banned, just restricted. I know for rainbow lorikeets you are required to have an avian license and a 2 door aviary. We didnt, because gently caress that, but you are supposed to. Course, im pretty sure its people like us that caused the rainbow lorikeet problem in the first place.

learnincurve posted:It's not recommended but I put those sandpaper sheaths over the dowling perches once in a while, the distress that forcefully handling my lot would cause might actually kill them. You can also get special, and expensive, perches that have rough surfaces. Would it work to glue a thin strip of sandpaper to the underside of the perch?
