I saw a rooster peck a garter snake right in the brain to instantly kill it. Then the flock of hens descended upon the corpse and played a fun game of "run away with the dead snake so I can eat it" They are loving operators and I am so glad they are not the size of a T-rex.

My granddads chooks would run at top speed across the pasture to get to a roadkill whatever. They loved meat....it was scary as a kid to see them tearing a carcass apart. And they had plenty of pellets and scratch too lol My chooks love frogs and lizards...they hunt them like crazy. They also go for chicken parts too lol cannibals!

I just got a parakeet and he only seems to chirp when I'm doing dishes or when the washing machine is running. I think he likes the sound of running water. Is this normal? Would a small fountain for the room make him happier?

I don't know how "normal" it is because that's hard to quantify with parrots, but Judah loved running water. The only non-speech, non-cockatiel noise he ever made was the sound of water burbling in a sink. He loved being on me when I did dishes, not even getting in the water, just fluffed up and talking to it.

She will chirp and twitter happily the whole time while hanging upside down from my shirt as I do dishes. It's to the point now where if I mention I have to do dishes, she will start saying "Yeah! Yeah? Yeah!" I think its cos the water is running. Also, she is weirdly fascinated by the refrigerator water dispenser...she goes nuts when she sees it giving out water or ice. No clue why...

There seem to be some sounds that most, if not all, parrots are fascinated with/love. Running water is one, whispering and kissy noises are two others I know of

According to that Kakapo conservationist's twitter, they have a problem with something he calls "crusty bum disease" (cloacitis I think) which is far funnier than it should be. redgubbinz fucked around with this message at 15:41 on Sep 10, 2017 |

Hey folks, Pemka (our cockatiel) is ill. We're in the middle of calling vets and I've been shoved off to make a post instead. She's been either having mucus-y vomit or dry heaving off and on. refused water or anything other than pellet/seeds. Not 100% sure what our bird got into, snagged some brisket off a plate we think. No wheezing or anything, just very clearly upset with her digestion. Any suggestions? Again, already calling vets to find one open.

Perhaps a penguin posted:Is this at Animal lovers in Torrance? Holy God it's a small world. (I don't know 100% but that is certainly a place I've been "parroting" on more than one occasion) If I ever hook my computer back up I've got a video of Boo Boo. I'll track it down.

It's the place, Boo Boo is the poo poo! He is super friendly and a total goofball. They have another bare eye that will extend his claw through his cage bars to beckon you closer, and as soon as you touch it, he puts his head down for many scritches. I was just there yesterday. I got to handle their blue and gold macaw, who was being a total sweetheart until he lunged at my partner. We went to look at Tommi's new baby cockatiels and ended up coming home with a rescue/certified pre owned conure. When the bird chooses you, you gotta bring it home.

A bare eyed is my white whale...and Boo Boo still needs a home. Damnit, I want to get Milo the Gun Store Eclectus! If I lived alone I'd have about thirty birds.

I think Boo Boo is another store mascot of theirs. He's been there for probably 15 or 20 years. Which gun store? That's awesome! The ace hardware off Pv drive and sepulveda has an amazon named Paco. He rides around on the shoulders of a few of the shop guys there.

Neddy Seagoon posted:Now you say this, and yet your post is lacking pictures of said conure... I hosed up. Say hi to Whiskey, everyone!   Wide stance: confirmed. The little dude is a year old. His previous owners moved and said they couldn't take him with, so he was given back to the shop. They gave him a really bad wing trim, so it's going to be a while before he can really try flying, or having anything productive come out of his flip flappin. He's also missing the tip of his left outside toe, possibly an injury from being in the nest. Little dude has got a zillion pin feathers (probably from his first big molt) and a big appetite for scritches.  The little spot on his beak is a bruise that is getting grown out. Do y'all have any advice for helping make a molting bird more comfortable? Also, here is our other bird  This is Fiddle. He is ridiculous. Kinda dumb. Very flappy. Widest stance. Whistling rockstar in training. Currently learning the pink panther theme.

Hopefully all goes well and she's in top shape soon enough. Watch for undigested seeds in her poop as well as funny colored poop.

Morning update re: Pemka. She spent a lot of the evening napping on my knee under my desk. Is currently chirping happily and gorging on seed mix as per usual mornings. And water, and daily toy mauling. No sign of vomiting or poop outside of norms. As of right now seems 100% borb once more. Will continue to observe the darling.

(The forums hate iOS) The gun store is literally called something like, "The Gun Store" and is full of hilarious NRA characitures of people and a parrot. I might be working part time for a half year while or so I heal. I've thought about seeing if they would take a stinking commie liberal like me.  (it would really just be a plot to make Milo come home with me)
