Paramount: Yes it was indeed a great story! Thanks so much for sharing! I even told my husband about it! I as well agree with your last post, with breeding birds or any animal we are in fact playing mother nature or god if you will, and it is indeed for selfish human reasons. You are right most...

Thanks for input paramount!~My no good husband has stepped up a bit and is sitting on the babies during his shift and helping feed them, its cooled down here in the last few days and maybe this has helped him. My owls are going through the moult right now but it has yet to hit the rollers and...

Genetically speaking "purebred" animals of any kind are not the most sound. Even if the animal seems healthy and well established, it could very well be carrying some nasty recessive genes. Some of the best show birds are genetic nightmares because of inbreeding but because it present a certain...

Thank you loft keeper! I never thought the heat for sure might be getting to him! The babies both hatched today and I am looking forward to seeing the little suckers grow. I will certainly take your advice and see if it helps. I also got them both new mates of the same breed today and will...

Thank you for the kind words fowlsessed, I do understand were your coming from. Paramount I think using the birds as you do is awesome, that way there bodies and life's are not wasted and serve a purpose.

I don't agree with culling or destroying any bird unless it has no quality of life. If a bird is weak or has a deformity I have a special place for them so they don't get picked on, however I will also not breed them, that way they don't introduce those genes into my flock. I feel every...

Oh and here are some pics by request :) Fattness looking handsome and sitting on empty nest with no mate My super adorable son holding proof of Fatness's manhood being enacted, ack baby fat. lol.

Originally I had taken this bird on as a pet, because I thought him very cute and had a good mellow personality. He was given to me at a show by his original owner because he was thought to be infertile. I believe he is around 5 or 6 years of age. I had him alone for a long period of time but...

It's so true my owls for some reason have very very androgynous....I have found out that all bets are off till they pair off and lay that first egg......I have a a female right now that acts so much like a cock that I'm still surprised when she lays eggs....

I have a male show homer that sucks at being a mate. He never or rarely takes his turn sitting on his eggs and when the babies hatch he is very inconsistent with feedings and sitting on the young. Half the time it seems he forgets where his nest box and bullies other birds out of there nests...

I do agree decapitation would be the best most humane way....I just don't think I could do it the right way and in turn make it suffer more..I don't have those types of skills nor do I think I ever would. The one time I ended up having to put something down I did use something very very heavy...

Ick both amazing stories! Makes my skin crawl~!
