Guest guest Posted May 28, 2000 Report Share Posted May 28, 2000 Diane I know what you mean about collecting birds. Just came back from a bird fair in Raleigh which is ONLY a six hour drive from where I live. Nutty, huh? On the other hand, on the way up, my friends and I discussed the case of an elderly gentleman who lost his wife of 50 years to cancer two years ago. For an entire year, he was in a deep depression, refusing to eat or care for himself. Then he discovered birds (little finches, as it was) and his whole world turned around; he and his son enjoy going to bird shows, talking to breeders, checking out what is available and purchasing birds. This has helped him come through a very difficult time and appears to have given him a new lease on life.... Gail I am glad to hear that there is another bird lover on the list.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2000 Report Share Posted May 28, 2000 Gail, You haven't met the big bird mommy herself--your list owner! I have an indoor aviary (room in the house) full of doves, quail, cockateils, and finches. We just finished maternity season and the place was really fun finding where all the nest were and how many hatched. We still have a cockateil mom setting. I also have a yellow-naped Amazon, Ringo, who calls me Lardbutt. Don't know where he learned that name, except he watches TV. We've had conures, and a cockatoo who nearly ate our brand-new home up. -list owner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 28, 2000 Report Share Posted May 28, 2000 Cool on the aviary; birds can be a lot of work but also provide much enjoyment. My blue and gold macaw (the only biggie bird I have) likes to remind me that in the wild, their screams can be heard a mile away. It works the same way in the city too, especially if you happen to be near her when she lets out a shriek. I have learned the term " ears ringing " is quite true....

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2000 Report Share Posted May 28, 2000 If the discussion is birds and not diabetes... I will leave as well. Re: Gail gail we have those macaws wild around here, what noisy birds, Sam in SanDiego Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 28, 2000 Report Share Posted May 28, 2000 Geez, . We have lives other than diabetes. Sometimes people get off track. They do try to put OT on those notes. Live is not just diabetes. Birds aren't my thing (Disney for me) but I can use a delete key if I am not interested. There is plenty of diabetes info here and plenty of support.
