omg, what part of the..........

..

bird is that in your pic there? haha. i cant make heads or tails for real.

yes, i lost my parakeet to a busted blood feather, she made it til the vet opened but by then they had to put her to sleep.

later, i lost her sister to laying eggs, which you cant stop, but for a time, a marble faked her out and she stopped. but one got stuck and she suffered horribly. at night of course and they only had all night dog and cat dr's but not birds. so, i held her and she passed.

omg, thx for the awful memories, but for now, i have a sweet little parakeet that loves to be loved. so, things are good.

her wings are way more grown out now. they cut them way way too short the day i got her, and i didnt know if she would ever fly right. but she flies great now.

[TTT]

Hey Gail
I remember telling you years ago how to fix it.
I know it was on a different board but I can't remember now which one it was.

Common 'blood feather'

Damn! time flies (no pun) that was maybe 6 years ago.

College Student's Turtle Project Takes Dark Twist

Comments allowed:

http://abcnews.go.com/US/college-students-turtle-project-takes-dark-twist/comments?type=story&id=18076298#.UNyid_p_eJ4

Clemson University student Nathan Weaver set out to determine how to help turtles cross the road. He ended up getting a glimpse into the dark souls of some humans.

Weaver put a realistic rubber turtle in the middle of a lane on a busy road near campus. Then he got out of the way and watched over the next hour as seven drivers swerved and deliberately ran over the animal. Several more apparently tried to hit it but missed.

"I've heard of people and from friends who knew people that ran over turtles. But to see it out here like this was a bit shocking," said Weaver, a 22-year-old senior in Clemson's School of Agricultural, Forest and Environmental Sciences.

To seasoned researchers, the practice wasn't surprising.

The number of box turtles is in slow decline, and one big reason is that many wind up as roadkill while crossing the asphalt, a slow-and-steady trip that can take several minutes.

Sometimes humans feel a need to prove they are the dominant species on this planet by taking a two-ton metal vehicle and squishing a defenseless creature under the tires, said Hal Herzog, a Western Carolina University psychology professor.

"They aren't thinking, really. It is not something people think about. It just seems fun at the time," Herzog said. "It is the dark side of human nature."

Herzog asked a class of about 110 students getting ready to take a final whether they had intentionally run over a turtle, or been in a car with someone who did. Thirty-four students raised their hands, about two-thirds of them male, said Herzog, author of a book about humans' relationships with animals, called "Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat."

Weaver, who became interested in animals and conservation through the Boy Scouts and TV's "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin, wants to figure out the best way to get turtles safely across the road and keep the population from dwindling further.

Among the possible solutions: turtle underpasses or an education campaign aimed at teenagers on why drivers shouldn't mow turtles down.

The first time Weaver went out to collect data on turtles, he chose a spot down the road from a big apartment complex that caters to students. He counted 267 vehicles that passed by, seven of them intentionally hitting his rubber reptile.

He went back out about a week later, choosing a road in a more residential area. He followed the same procedure, putting the fake turtle in the middle of the lane, facing the far side of the road, as if it was early in its journey across. The second of the 50 cars to pass by that day swerved over the center line, its right tires pulverizing the plastic shell.

"Wow! That didn't take long," Weaver said.

Other cars during the hour missed the turtle. But right after his observation period was up, before Weaver could retrieve the model, another car moved to the right to hit the animal as he stood less than 20 feet away.

"One hit in 50 cars is pretty significant when you consider it might take a turtle 10 minutes to cross the road," Weaver said.

Running over turtles even has a place in Southern lore.

In South Carolina author Pat Conroy's semi-autobiographical novel "The Great Santini," a fighter-pilot father squishes turtles during a late-night drive when he thinks his wife and kids are asleep. His wife confronts him, saying: "It takes a mighty brave man to run over turtles."

The Parrot With No Legs


A man suspected that his wife was cheating on him, but he could not find time to prove it since they worked opposite shifts. He soon came up with the idea to get a talking parrot and hide it in the closet of the bedroom while he was gone.

He went to the local pet store and the clerk said: "We only have one parrot that can talk real good, but he is sort of handicapped."

The husband asked, "what's wrong with him?"

The clerk then told the man that the bird was born with no legs, so he holds himself up on the perch by wrapping his long penis around it. The man agreed to buy the parrot anyway.

Once the man arrived home, he put the parrot in the bedroom closet and instructed the parrot on what to do. Leaving the closet door partially open for the parrot to see the bedroom, the man then left for work.

Arriving home the next morning the man noticed his wife had already left for work. He quickly went inside and began asking the parrot, "What have you seen?"

The parrot replied "You are right, your wife is cheating on you!"

"Go on", said the man.

"About a half an hour after you left, your wife came into the bedroom with another man!" said the parrot.

"Go on", said the man.

"Then they took off all of their clothes and got onto the bed!"

"Go on,"said the man.

"Then that guy started kissing your wife and sucking on her nipples!" said the parrot.

"Then what happened?",asked the man.

"Then that guy put his head between her legs and started licking her!", said the parrot.

"Then what?" ,asked the man.

"I don't know", said the parrot, "My penis got hard and I fell off the perch!"

[gail]

here she is..... but be nice and dont make funny comments on this post. im really worried about her. i hate seeing her like this.

i had to laugh at myself, looking up "animal" on ihub, to find help, cause all the vets were closed thurs, then found a board that would eat a pet, hehe. i tend to see the part that i want to see, and not the rest of the story.

well, wish me luck.

[gail]

hehe, omg, stop, you know what? you are making me laugh at a very sad situation but the fact that shes still on her perch, is key..

but thx for the giggle, really.

now back off of my bird or she can STILL peck your eyes out!

[Phil(Hot Rod Chevy)]

I'm glad I didn't light the charcoal yet.

Let me know when I should.

Phil

[gail]

hehe, omg, you are too funny.. shes still alive so, you cant have her, hehe.

she is a bloody mess though, ill take her to to the vet first thing. they were all closed today. so, just tuck your fork away.

[Phil(Hot Rod Chevy)]

You didn't bother me.

I wish I could help.

If you can't get the bird fixed, I can help tell you how to cook it.

Phil

[gail]

oh, i see that in the second part of the title, sorry to bother you.

[Phil(Hot Rod Chevy)]

Sorry gail, but this board is about killing and eating birds and animals, not fixing them.

Phil

[gail]

any bird people here? i have a problem and no vets are open, and only got an emergency call/advice line.

my parakeet broke off a very large feather and its bleeding a quite a bit, but is clotting.. i put that stuff on it to help but she eats it so that is not good.

i know birds can bleed out fast.

the broken spiky tip is rubbing the fur off where she tucks in her wing.

i tried to gently clip the spiky part as its like having your own bone cutting in. but it only freaked her out.

so, the vet line said ill have to hope she makes it to friday.

this is just awful. any advice? i even tried to slip on a rubber band just to get the wing off of her side but she didnt like that either.

she knew i was trying to help her, it was really odd.

wow, this sucks.. i doubt anyone will hear me as this place has had no posts in 3 mths. just let me know thx..

VENISON VS. BEEF: THE TASTE CONTROVERSY ENDS!

THIS JUST IN FROM THE UNITED STATES VENISON COUNCIL

Controversy has long raged about the relative quality and taste of venison and beef as gourmet foods. Some people say that venison is tough, with a strong "wild" taste. Others insist that venison's flavor is delicate. An independent food research group was retained by the Venison Council to conduct a taste test to determine the truth of these conflicting assertions once and for all.

First, a Grade A Choice Holstein steer was chased into a swamp a mile and a half from the road and then shot several times. After some of the entrails were removed, the carcass was dragged back over rocks and logs, and through mud and dust to the road. It was then thrown into the back of a pickup truck and driven through rain and snow for 100 miles before being hung out in the sun for 3 days.

After that it was lugged into a garage, where it was skinned and rolled around on the floor for a while. Strict sanitary precautions were observed throughout the test, within the limitations of the butchering environment. For instance, dogs and cats were allowed to sniff and lick the steer carcass, but were chased away when they attempted to bite chunks out of it.

Next a sheet of plywood left from last year's butchering was set up in the basement on two saw horses. The pieces of dried blood, hair and fat left from last year were scraped off with a wire brush last used to clean out the grass stuck under the lawn mower.

The skinned carcass was then dragged down the steps into the basement where a half dozen inexperienced but enthusiastic and intoxicated men worked on it with meat saws, cleavers and dull knives. The result was 375 pounds of soup bones, four bushel baskets of meat scraps, and a couple of steaks that were an eighth of an inch thick on one edge and an inch and a half thick on the other.

The steaks were seared on a glowing red hot cast iron skillet to lock in the flavor. When the smoke cleared, rancid bacon grease was added along with three pounds of onions, and the whole conglomeration was fried for two hours.

The meat was then gently teased from the frying pan and served to three blindfolded taste panel volunteers. Every one of the members of the panel thought it was venison. One of the volunteers even said it tasted exactly like the venison he had eaten in hunting camps for the past 27 years.

The results of this scientific test show conclusively that there is no difference between the taste of beef and venison.

Bring your rib talk to the bbq rib board..
http://www.investorshub.com/boards/board.asp?board_id=8117

[SteveoChicago]

Thanks and I will this weekend if I can shovel the 3 feet of snow away from my grill.

So when I cool my pork ribs, I usually boil them before I grill'em. They turn out much more tender and fall off the bone. I get some people saying that's not the way to cook ribs but I gotta tell you, they're awesome!! I also use Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce.

[HabaneroDog]

Welcome to the board....Have a cheese burger!

[SteveoChicago]

LOL what a great board!! How do you get banned from here? LOL 2 already. Anyway, hi all. What a refreshing place to be un-politically correct. GLTA!
