Okay fine! You were right!

Yeah somethings up. I visited this thread three times. I can see the photos now, but I did not see anything in the previous visits. And this isn't the first time I have not been able to see photos on the forum.

Oh well, carry on

I had added those photos to a private album and changed it to public. I dont know if that makes a difference.

 

[Doublete]

Actually I thought I was the only one! I couldn't see the photos last night but just said eh oh well.

 

[plumsmum2005]

LMBO here - so we are all sitting here quietly thinking we are the only one that can't see!

 

[Newbsi]

Sorry! I am not tech savy

 

[plumsmum2005]

Sorry! I am not tech savy

No probs, really.

lol 70s! Here is some more good advice the book has.... After you use aerosol parasite spray on your bird, next you want to get his attention. If he ignores you, grab his beak and force him to pay attention.

I couldn't see the photos before either, but now that I can...

See! I was right. Look at those eyes...

Look at this dude! Tell me he isn't a stoner!!!

 

[Birdman666]

PLEASE try and refrain from bringing home that M2. :11:

LOL! I know, right?!? I am not getting the too... even if it is SO CLOSE... and even if it is SO BIG.... and even if it DOESNT COST MUCH. NO! NO NO NO!

I am in no rush for the AG. Maybe this summer sometime. I will wait for that great 30% off sale at mybirdstore.com for the cage. The AG can have 1" bar space correct?
As far as a CAG or TAG, I am not sure yet. Funny thing, I bought a book about African Greys. When I opened the book, I realized I must have been shopping in the antique book section. This is page one LOL!

Here you see a half moon conure being slowly poisoned by an ignorant human by an unnecessary product that was not sufficiently tested!

Yeah. And after you spray him with that stuff, and he preens his feathers, ummmm... what happens then?!

AND THE SAD THING IS, PEOPLE ACTUALLY BELIEVED THIS STUFF.

Even now we occasionally get a newbie on here saying doesn't my parrot need grit?!

 

[Anansi]

Wow. Scary how misinformed about parrots some were not all that long ago, huh? I twitch just seeing that aerosol can so close to that poor bird. And that training advice? That was just for looking away while the dude was talking! Wonder what happened if the bird made the mistake of nipping or biting? Geez!

And advocating algae in the water. I have no words...

 

[Birdman666]

Pond scum - it's full of nutrients!:32:

Ummm.... no.... that would be called "Harmful Bacteria."

What gets me is that someone actually published this stuff...

 

[Newbsi]

AND THE SAD THING IS, PEOPLE ACTUALLY BELIEVED THIS STUFF.

The SCARY thing is that this book is still for sale LMAO! What if I didn't know better..... it could happen! I should take some more screen shots this book is hilarious and sad at the same time. Hilarious because we know better now and sad because those poor birds that went through it.

 

[Newbsi]

... and don't forget, if you are going to add or change water.... be sure to scrape the top layer of algae off to save it and put it back in!
