If by "so wrong" you mean that you have trouble accepting your fabulous self because of the brain washing and stigma we are subjected to from birth, then yes I feel that. If you mean "so wrong", like its immoral/unnatural in some way, then my answer would be F no.

Ya i meant the first one.

The stigma is something we can fight against and get rid of

Actually @MIAMI LEGHORN could probably answer this better than I could as he raises parrots and some barnyard fowl.

I'd imagine that there could be a potential for disease transmission, but my caged birds were inside and the poultry are outside. I'd alternate chore days so I wouldn't have to change clothes in-between taking care of them.

What up Colt?
How's the farm coming along?I have to check in on your thread.

Quick walk-through here.
With parrots we have always given the utmost priority to cleaniness. Water is fresh every day food is removed and replaced every day. Yes,it's a burden but necessary.
No food bowls are mixed up. For example,the same bowls in our Goffins' cage in Jan are the same ones thru to Dec. So as to avoid against spreading anything from bird to bird.
We always start working with the Parrots and end with the chickens.
We wash our hands before we go to the chickens as a force of habit. When we go into the chicken area we wear galoshes,we remove them if we have to go back into the parrot area. If we forgot something in the parrot area we go inside wash up and leave the galoshes outside.
Yes it's a pain in the arse but well worth the precautions.
This is kind of overlapped a little bit when we work with the chickens. Everything for our chickens is washed once a day..EVERYTHING... no water is left overnight.. There's no feed in the feeding stations for them until the next day. Our early mornings are spent placing feed and water from parrots then to chickens. You start from your most expensive stock -Parrots-and move on down to less costly animals.
I'm trying to set up some automatic feeders w/ timers and such but at this point we haven't sat down to plan it yet.

I am none of those letters -- an ally here -- but my reaction to this is that my heart is crying for you. I hope you learn that you are a wonderful person, no matter who you love, and how you express it. Hugs!

What is SO WRONG is that we don't accept people for who they are, and respect everyone's differences.
