    Cute or not cute - I want your opinions

    I think it's adorable, but then again, I also think baby parrots and other altricial birds are adorable, even if they're blind and naked when they hatch. But I'd probably be scared if I was taking out the garbage one night and came across one glaring down at me. Many native people in Madagascar...

    Any Christians out there?

    No worries. But ask yourself this -- how would you feel if a Muslim said he was sorry you wouldn't be with him when he meets Mohammed, and that he will pray for you? Be happy that what you believe works for you, and concern yourself not with what others believe for themselves, but how they...

    Please, save your energy. We don't need fixing...or saving...or conversion.

    stupid question on naked necks and show girls

    It's an incompletely dominant gene, likely with associated modifiers, but chickens with one copy will exhibit a reduction in feathering on the neck. You'd probably do best to search through the Breeds, Genetics and Showing area for threads on Naked Necks. I'm sure there are others who can...

    what do u get when u mix these 2

    Purple Male X White Female = Purple split to White daughters. Sons will depend on what's "under the White" but will likely be IB split to Purple and White (and split to whatever else the White has or carries).

    My friend has a vomiting Parrot... Help please!

    A bird vomiting can be any number of things. My first amazon died when only five years old from some unidentified infection that spread through his body. He also couldn't keep food down his last few days. The bird in question could also have ingested metal and is suffering from toxicity. Or...

    TED Talks -- sharing favorites

    I thought this was something interesting to share, and thought others here could participate by sharing some of their favorites as well. This particular video is of a talk given by Frans de Waal, a well-known primatologist, about moral behavior in non-human animals. Please feel free to share any...

    My friend has a vomiting Parrot... Help please!

    Bring the bird to a vet.....NOW! Why wait and ask for advice online? Most of the "my bird is sick...what do I do?" posts end badly because time is wasted asking for advice on an internet forum when the bird should be receiving medical care. OK, rant over....... :-/

    Powdery mildew on grapes

    I was about to mention the baking soda, oil and soap solution, but you beat me to it. I've never grown grapes, but the recipe you cited is the one developed by Cornell University and has been shown to be very effective. I used it on any roses that started getting mildew or black spot -- it works...

    Mad cow disease in Calif.

    And I heard some conservatives are dismissing the claim that mad cows are a danger at all. On the contrary, more people eating mad cows could be just what the party needs to gain additional votes.

    Mad cow disease in Calif.

    When I read the article, I had a different interpretation of the sentence below: "The animal tested positive for atypical BSE, a very rare form of the disease not generally associated with an animal consuming infected feed." I took this to mean that the BSE is not from the same prion that was...

    Mad cow disease in Calif.

    BSE-prions are not destroyed at normal cooking temperatures. It's spread among livestock by using infected animal products (typically meat-and-bone meal) in livestock feed. After the first BSE encounters in the 1990s, the US banned the feeding of ruminants (cattle, sheep and goats) food that...

    Is that peafowl at the zoo male or female ? [Questioning colour]

    Well, if you're seeing peafowl with "split to White" characteristics, then the peacock in your pics is more likely the same mutation as the whites here. I asked about the oil palms because their fruit is very high in carotenoids, and if the peafowl eat a lot of them, this might be a cause of the...

    Found German Shorthaired Pointer-need some advice....

    Contact the local vets in your area and ask if any of their clients match the description of the dog you found. If you come across one who says "yes", bring her in and the vet can scan for a possible implanted ID. Or perhaps a vet may recognize the dog by sight. If this fails, look for...
