Pigeons in large numbers can and do transmit diseases to people. Various avian flus are the obvious current concern, but in the old days many cities had to contend with bird mite infestations that were always caused either by pigeons or someone having a loving chicken farm on top of NYC apartment building. I'm not saying they're as dirty as a rat, obviously a rat is dirty as it has to drag its furry body all over the ground and go into dirty holes all the time whereas a pigeon merely slogs through the greasy air, but they can be an actual health issue. In any case I support all birds and suggest that people be nice to them because birds are good. However please do not go to the park and empty a gladbag of old bread onto the corner every day because you have religiious beliefs vaguely related to reincarnation that state you're helping a bad grandpa out in this life and getting yourself some karma kredits for your next one. I ate pigeon one time in an Egyptian restaruant it was pretty oily but it tasted okay. Piegons are an okay bird and an overall pretty great animal.

Concurrent with ownership of The Very Smart Cockatiel (for a Cockatiel Anyway) we also owned The Very Dumb Cockatiel. One of TVDC's most infamous stunts was the time she saw her own shadow act in a terribly offensive and frightening manner and immediately scurried into an adjacent wall, stunning herself for a good twenty minutes. The bird in the above image I would rate at at least and A- but probably A class cockatiel as he is considering the ontological f actualities of shadows.

Over There posted:I really want to get a bird but all my friends say all they do is poo poo and scream. How exactly do you train a bird? Birds don't really understand negative reinforcement, they just think you hate them for no reason if you try it. You catch them doing something vaguely right and reward them for it and mold their behavior that way. You need a clicker so you can ID the exact thing that is good. It's also helpful if their normal food is pellets so that you can reward then with a seed or some certain fruit that they love (varies by bird) as they like food more than head scratches. A really smart bird can be taught the word "no" like a dog can but they seem to refuse to connect that to behavior modification. Also some birds are hard wired to be a little noisy at dusk and dawn so keeping them in the bedroom is a bad idea and if they're passionate about discolored sunlight you need to put a blanket over their cage at night to help simmer that down.

Cockateils love gettin in that falling water The aforementioned Very Dumb Cockatiel was not good at bathing. Instead of flopping around in the water and tossing it up onto her back like normal teils do when given a dish of warm water she would just stand in it and and rock her breast back and forth in it like a chef's knife, cleanly wetting the two front columns of chest feathers and nothing else, so that afterward she had a pin stripe neat racing stripe. raton fucked around with this message at 17:07 on Oct 21, 2015 |

Tendai posted:Judah will start doing that bathing flailing when it's raining. Our birds have always been irregular about this but sometimes the first indication of rain was one of them splaying their body feathers and pointing the wrong end up while worming around for no reason, still being inside of the house. If it wasn't too cold we would usually plop them out on the deck and set the hairdryer up on top of the cage so that they could get into drying positions afterward.

Double Bill posted:Now this is a good birb synthesizer. Suddenly Max's gibberish doesn't sound so cool anymore. In Thailand there was a dude that ran a little food stall and his myna birb would chill in its cage near the stall all day bustin out the Buddhist religious sayings in Thai.

I used to feeb my birbs
*Fork of whiterice *Popcorns stuck onto their talons to make popcorn feet *One french fry They liked these things a lot and would eat them until their crop was bulging and they were in a starch induced bird food coma. They also eat the wheatgrass you buy from the expensive supermarket that's still growing if you put it in their cage in the winter and like it a lot and get a serious case of green beak. They will not eat orange juice at all. They also do not eat the outside of the french fry but instead hollow out the middle to make a fry canoe. raton fucked around with this message at 08:45 on Dec 15, 2015 |

Open your mouth and the parrot chews on teeth because he likes to gently caress with stuff and eventually he pulls out a tooth it's an age old story that an Indian told me at a bullshit casino then he asked me for a dollar.
