Re: Its oh so quiet Shh Shh

glad to hear you've still got 'em

I've had an awful stressful morning of rushing around and being hissy to my family
but one wonderful thing happened

I saw the wild parrots!
well, three of them
they were in a tree around the corner from my house, eating berries
they are so green it took me forever to see them, even when they were pointed out to me
and they're big too - not like the ones in San Francisco
now I really want to see whether I can't get some pics of them

We have a lot of Psittacula krameri in Bonn.
So much that you can read about it in Wikipedia.

Re: Its oh so quiet Shh Shh

I don't know very much about parrots
this is a page about Brooklyn's population:
BrooklynParrots.com: A Web Site About the Wild Parrots of Brooklyn
I must have seen some Amazons

Re: Its oh so quiet Shh Shh

got to meet my new vet today
one of my new hognoses hasn't eaten yet and I brought in another snake for a check-up
so the new vet is a 10min walk from my house
she seems competent
and the fee was reasonable ($50.-)
Mikhaila liked her a lot
anyway - I just hope th little guy will start eating soon
somehow he looks to me like he's gonna shed again, even though he did just shed a couple of weeks ago

Rhea, I'm glad you found a new vet, and one that seems like she'll be able to do a good job!! Hope the little snaky eats soon- good luck!!

those are beautiful
it seems that they're quite a bit bigger than the quaker parrots that is the most common species in Brooklyn (wikipedia even mentions my neighbourhood) - Monk Parakeet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

btw
do you guys think I should accustom myself to using those little icon thingies?
I know I sometimes say things that I mean to poke fun at things and possibly they are not taken that way
just occurred to me
just because I'm lazy, doesn't mean I should be taken seriously at all times
if something I say strikes you as laughable, go ahead and assume it is meant that way, even if it doesn't have three of those green grins behind it

Re: Its oh so quiet Shh Shh

Don't worry about it Rhea! I find that once I read enough posts by any one person, I can kind of tell whether or not they're joking around or being serious, even without the funny green grins!!........but the grins are cute!!

Re: winter to my snakes

James you haven't hit that 4th century mark as fast as you hit the 3rd one,
slowing down in the old age or what.....
