Sounds like a great team and a lot of fun!


Ideally it should be illegal to buy wild caught ones (imho)

Yes it should be. However many are used for medicine, food source, souvenirs etc. Wikipedia has quite an article on them

I wonder if Canada Geese could be used the same way. I could show researchers a seemingly endless supply of the filthy pests! You think ducks are bad? Ducks aren't even in the same league!
They have so many ponds & food sources here in crop fields that they stay here year around. Not all, but the vast majority does, anyway. They make such a mess at the local park that the town hired a guy with a dog, a kayak, and a remote-control toy boat to run them off. If the birds are on shore he sends the dog to chase them off. If they're on the water, he sends the boat in to run them off. If that fails, he gets the kayak out and heads into them. The whole idea, of course, is to harass the geese so much that they go somewhere quieter.

Here in Israel we use falcons for this job, in air filds where wild bird can be a threat. If there was a guy with a trained eagle I can guarantee you that they would fly and not come back!

Morning Kathy. It's getting better. After checking wall behind leak I've decided to let fans dry it up as there isn't any insulation in the other bays. So washer and dryer back on their stands and laundry started. And pipes are dry. Hope yours is going well. I'm off to do stuff I was going to do yesterday

I have 2 special needs boys.
It's not wheelchair-ish, but my youngest has health issues I have to watch carefully, and my oldest has mental health issues, where he needs constant supervision.
Fun stuff! Never a dull moment.

However, wheelchair bound kids are a totally different kettle of fish. I admire their fortitude to adopt kids like that! After raising my own, I know I could handle high-energy kids, or kids with learning disabilities, or minor behavioral problems. I don't know if I could handle one that needed 24/7 care with feeding/bathing/pushing around in a wheelchair. I think that would be very hard. It takes a very special person to take on that kind of responsibility on purpose.
(with that said, I never thought I'd have special needs kids at all, and realized I ended up being able to handle it alot better than I would have thought, pre-being in that scenario.)

Never ever a dull moment. We spent a weekend there last week helping. Wow is all I can say. I will say this child learns by watching, as most do but she takes it 10 levels up. I'm thinking she needs a chicken or two. Maybe she will concentrate for at least three minutes on them.

When I first lets my chickies out all they want to do is flutter and attack each other's... Is this normal?

Are they boys? My cockerels do that.

Did you rinse the gravel before you put it in the tank?

Agree. My sister in Oregon drives the special bus has for 20 years. Not sure if she has an aide or not. She's never mentioned one if she does. Wouldn't know how she does it without one. Going to have to ask her.

Let it cycle some more. We had our new one up and running 2 weeks before putting anything in. And we used water from old tank with live rock to help get it started
