I really want to like my girlfriend's super cute Conure, but literally every time he gets out of his cage he flies directly at me and bites my ear or finger. But he's so cuddly otherwise :(.

This thread is probably a good place for you and your girlfriend to go to for advice about that.

Speaking of fat birds, anybody got any fancy pigeons? I could use some cheering up after the month I've been having.

His name is William. (That refers to the bird and my dad.)

That's pretty interesting. Usually doing something like that is saying that you trust them to take your place, to be the person who will represent you and your legacy after you're gone. When you name somebody after yourself, you're saying "I believe that one day you will be the person I wish I could be, you are all my pride and joy in this world," so it's interesting that it's being directed at this cute little bird.

And I'm guessing your name isn't William.

I googled "fancy pigeon" and I am having trouble picking a favourite







Oh, also, my dad also own(ed) a pair of doves: one white, and one turtledove. Sad and hilarious story: The first one, Friday (turtledove) was captured by my grandfather, who noticed that Friday was hanging out on the front porch. My dad went out and bought Luna, the dove, and they were mates. My father made a coop for them out back and one night, a cat broke in and killed Friday. Luna was traumatized. He immediately went out and bought another turtledove, and Luna immediately fell in love. Friday II hated her passionately and he seemed to calm down after she passed away from old age. Cranky Friday is still kickin' it in a custom two-level cage with William. :unsmith: They are very happy.

It could be worse. My buddy's younger brother got their dad's name. That's been the source of some neuroses.

Oh, man. I don't know why, but I am just cracking up at that. I am sitting alone in my car, in an empty, dark parking lot, just roaring and snorting with laughter. I must be a hell of a site for anybody who happens to go by. All they would see is my cackling face, lit by the glow of my iPad, seeming to float inside the dark interior of my car.
