Going to the doc next week for an MRI of my abdomen.... week after that they are going to do a biopsy... The longer I wait without knowing a game plan the worse I feel.

Scared doesnt describe it.

While I totally agree with them that large parrots such as the bigger macaws and cockatoos should not be in the pet trade and should not be kept as pets because nearly no one has the capabilities to care for them as they should be cared for, it was a little strange to post about it on a chicken forum.

More than the fact that it was posted, I found the manner of posting to be extremely strange. Perhaps it was nothing more than trolling. Fact is that 'free range' parrots will eventually be caught and eaten by predators.

Oh yes, that definitely shouldn't be going on. Plus if they get startled and fly off, they might not be able to find their way back home.

I do agree that they should not be in cages though. They really should have an aviary. In the wild, they fly 15 miles every day looking for food. That just does not translate well to a cage in a house.

You can practice free flight with them, but they need to be trained for that, and you of course can't leave them out to do that all the time.

I just did a thread about the Learning Center having become a bit of a mess since the conversion - if anyone has any thoughts or opinions on it, would you mind weighing in?

Or a Sam's Club
Escanaba just recently got an ALDIS.... We shopped there once. It was alright.
They don't carry any name brand stuff.
Was way cheaper than a regular grocery store.... Except there are certain things that I need that HAVE to be name brand.
Like Heinze 57 ketchup......A1 steak sauce.
Coke...... Lays potato chips.....etc.

Does your aldis have Clancy potato chips? We like them better than lays. And WAY cheaper.
