thanx guys. i still hvnt managed to bury him. its realy hard to think about. every time i walk down the driveway i can see the spot where e was, and i cant stop looking at it. i dont even want to think about any of it. like just find a nice spot to put him and get it all behind me. i just wana forge...

Milamber3790

Hi I'm sorry but i can only tell you, theres no way i can actualy make you feel what i'm feeling right now. i realy and truly feel like jumping off the veranda. Jaws is dead. He slipped through one of the windows and walked down onto the road. i found him at 11oclok in the midle of the street. i kne...

Milamber3790

I heard some ppl left the first 2 feathers. the long ones? so that it dosnt look like he's been cliped, is that gwd?

Milamber3790

yeh, next chance i get i'll go down to the petshop and get him clipped. wish i knew how to do it myself but he wont let me hold him, i cant even get him to spread his wings.

Milamber3790

oww guys... Jaws is soo kwl. he lets me kiss and pat him and he clicks his beak in aproval when i do it. he's also showing the first minute signs of talking. like when there's music playing instead of screaching he'll rumble and mumble under his breath, and he'll respond when i say hello... he isnt ...

Milamber3790

is this a phase he'll grow out of? or am i doing something wrong? or is it just a 6 month long bluffing?

Milamber3790

Oh he's definitly out to kill me. i know that for sure! he's tried to slit my throat, eat my eyes, bite my tongue, turn my fingers into mince meat... if that dusnt mean "i'm out to kill you" then his body language is realy stuffed up.

Milamber3790

this isnt the evil eye. but it's a teknique i use to stop him gettin agro. he gets his pin eyes and stuff. wat i do is i pat him, like rub his head for a while and he growls and sorta sits quietly while i pat him. he dosnt bite or anything and i see that as a bonus. but am i rewarding bad behaviour?

Milamber3790

is balding a phase they go through? can i expect it, cos he realy is taking his time moulting. can't wait until it's over!

Milamber3790

Nah Jaws isnt bald, but when i pat him i can see the pin feathers, and also he's lost sm tail feathers and the new 1s are growing now thank god, cos the old ones were all bent and unkept.

Milamber3790

Nah, he's just moulting for sure. he's got all those lil spiky feathers and stuff so yeh. HE's been doing it for a while now, this is one hellova long time to be molting

Milamber3790

It wasnt bleeding heeps, it was just a few red stains around the base of his tail. he gets his share of fruit and veg as well as his seeds, a few beans, apple, a bit of orange and carot which he likes tearing apart but barly ever eats any. same with brocoli, he just bites it then spits it over my cl...

Milamber3790

This is a bit of mad luck. before i joined you guys i was looking around on the net for sum forums and stuff. this was before i bought Jaws. So anyway i found this NY birdclub thing and was looking at it. posted a few coments etc. but man those people are crazy. Sum chik posted an add for a flight h...

Milamber3790

Crist don't frighten me!! Jaws looks just like that and the petshop said he was a boy, they said they got him DNA tested!!! The LIARS!!!!!
LIARS!!!!
LIARS!!!!

Milamber3790

Totaly random, but what kinda python is that Ohana? will it grow any bigger? We've got a wild carpetsnake in our backyard, we don't see it much. but every few months it'l make an apearance. it's about 2 metrs long

Milamber3790

Jesus, thats a lot of birds! i've got one and he's already enuf trubble. you must be covered in bitemarks.

Milamber3790

I rekon Jaws is a lefty. i havnt been watching for it but i can only remember him eatin stuff with his left foot

Milamber3790

How long exactly does an IRN live for?
BEcause a lot of different people tell me a lot of different things.
Some say they'll live for 15 yrs. Others say they can keep kicking for 20 yrs if you feed them well, some say they'll live for 30 on an average.
I just don't know who to believe....

Milamber3790

Oh yeh, i forgot to say. i think that maybe he isnt grooming his tail so the feather just died or sumfin. cos isnt he supposed to rub the cocoon thing away? that's what i do with the spikes on his head, cos he can't reach those... but yeh, he's not grooming or cleaning his tail... so i thought that'...

Milamber3790

Milamber3790

iv also noticed that Jaws has a serious fobia of brooms, garden hoses, strawberries, colorful or strange objecs and a whole lot of other things. he hid behind my head once cos i was eating an icecream and it looked thretening. i remember the time when i got him over his fear of strawberries, i had t...

Milamber3790
