Question #1:
On CITV in late 90’s about a talking parrot it was a kid’s show, the parrot was green and very cheeky. Does anyone remember the name its bugging me as I can't remember thank you.
Question #2:
Or do Cons just parrot Alinsky as being "bad" without doing any research because Glenn Beck was the first hatemonger to bring him up?
Saul Alinsky fought for Civil Rights, he helped poor people organize to avoid being taken advantage of by slumlords, he helped poor people find work, etc.
Alinsky won the Pacem in Terris Peace and Freedom Award in 1969 - a Catholic peace award "to honor a person for their achievements in peace and justice, not only in their country but in the world."
Whenever I see this question asked about what was so bad about Saul Alinsky, you usually get Cons saying "he's a socialist" or "he's a communist" without giving any explanation.
Saul Alinsky's strategy on community organizing has been used by Liberals & Conservatives alike. The Tea Party essentially uses community organizing that is similar to Alinsky's. Community organizing is non-partisan and can be practiced by either side.
DumbFries: Cons mention him all the time. Beck, Gingrich, and various Cons on this board.
And you prove my point by assuming he's "greedy & corrupt" based on absolutely nothing, other than he's a community organizer. Community organizers do not make a lot of money.
Question #3:

Question #5:
I don't care if it is a dirty joke or clean. Don't care if the guy or gal buys a parrot, frog, whatever...
This best joke will be decided before end of Friday.....Thanks
Friday morning... these jokes are all.. NOT FUNNY, or not jokes. Maybe I will have to choose the LEAST WORSE ANSWER?
Haven't any of you ever heard a real ''Pet Shop Joke"? I sorta collect them, and could tell you 5 really funny ones.
Question #6:
I gave birth 11 days ago to a baby boy. He was planned, my husband and I have been married for 2 1/2 years and wanted a family, but now I am thinking this was a huge mistake. I miss being alone on my day off, I miss my job horribly, and I miss my alone time with my husband. I don't enjoy anything about the baby- hate feeding and changing him and the only time I was happy was the day of delivery because I felt so good not being pregnant anymore (had an awful pregnancy )I and once we had to bring him home I began realizing this is not for me. Not to mention that I have a bad track record for making bad decisions in other areas. Regarding pets for example, in the past few years we have had both a dog and a parrot that were solely my idea to purchase; I did extensive research on each pet, bought books and toys, supplies, etc and read incessantly about each species and breed online, and then regretted having each pet and found new homes for each of them within a cohple of years.
I know it's a silly comparison but I feel the same way about the baby as I did those pets. I knkw some of you are going to tell me this is baby blues or PPD ( and I actually hope you are right because that is something that might go away) but what if it's NOT? What if I really did mess up this royally and now have to live with that forever?? I just want tohave go back to my old, happy life : (
Please any thoughts?
Thank you to the supportive people out there. To the other answerers, wow you are insensitive. Do you think I want to feel this way?? I am sad and terrified!!

Question #8:
Question #9:
“Seventy years is all we have—eighty years, if we are strong; . . . life is soon over, and we are gone.”—PSALM 90:10, TODAY’S ENGLISH VERSION.
IMAGINE always enjoying the prime of life. Imagine vigorous health and keenness of mind that never fade. Does such a delightful prospect sound like fantasy to you? Then consider this curious fact: Although some species of parrots can live up to a hundred years, mice rarely live more than three. Such diverse life spans have led some biologists to reason that aging must have a cause and that if aging has a cause, it may have a cure. More:

Question #10:
I have a male eclectus parrot and he keeps gaining weight. but the thing is, he doesn't eat anything bad and he throws up most of what he eats !!! (it's normal for his type of parrot to throw up) idk what to do. my poor baby :( his vet said he's over weight, and that was last april. he's gained weight since his last visit and I'm worried. he's very active though he enjoys running on the floor, climbing up and down his cage, and even though he cant fly he does like to jump and glide. he also plays with my other parrot and stuff. it's not like the poor animal sits all day so idk what to do
Question #11:
Well a friend of mine brought me one and said it would make a good pet. I think it's really cute but again I'm kinda scared 'cause it doesn't look that tame. It makes some creepy sounds sometimes (like growling) so I've never dared to touch it yet. Plus I'm unsure about the proper food to give as it appears to eat anything and everything.
And is there a need to clean the bird or not? If so how?
Also I have no idea about its gender...well this one isn't that important but it will help me to choose a name.
Sorry for too many questions. Any other tips of how to take care of these birds would be appreciated. Thanks.
Question #12:
What I mean is this: how much do you actually know about the science most atheists
parrot? Most atheists know as little science as most Christians know as little
theology. Just as a Christian trusts his priest to tell him what he believes, an
atheist trusts scientists with a Ph.D. tacked to their name to tell them what they
believe. But how many times have the scientists turned out to be wrong? I only ask
this because it seems this is central to the problem that most atheists have. They
are repulsed by the phrase “believe” – they are addicted instead to the phrase
“know”. But honestly, do you really know, or are you just believing what you’re
told? I would like to remind you that in the 1970′s the scientists of the day were
seriously concerned that we were about to enter an ice age, and less than 30 years
later they are now convinced Earth is about to turn into a desert.
Unless you’ve observed something yourself, or observed and interpreted the
evidence yourself and drew your own conclusions, you are just as guilty as faith as
any religious person. I will demonstrate this fact by asking you, the atheist, the
following questions.
These are all questions that would typically appear on a 100 level biological
anthropology couse taught in universities around the world. They relate to your
favorite topic: evolution. I will post the answers (and the reasons why you should
believe me) at the bottom of the post:
1. Name the major extinct hominid species from which human beings are
presently believed to have evolved.
2. How long ago did the modern human (Homo Sapiens Sapiens) come into
existence?
3. How long ago did early hominids leave Africa?
4. How long ago did hominids split from the other primates?
5. Which biological feature is believed to be the most important in the evolution
of man, and why?
6. Name one phyisical trait or behavior that is unique to the genus Homo.
7. Who were the neanderthals? Where did they live, when did they live, and
why are they gone?
8. A major event occurred approximately 70,000 years ago very relevant to
the evolution of humanity. What was the event, and why is it significant?
If you can’t answer these questions, I think my point is illustrated. And please don’t
dwell on the fact that even if you don’t know the answers, the answers exist.
Because if you could answer these questions you would know enough to know how
little we actually know about these topics.
Question #13:
I want to get a bird either a macaw or parrot, and I was wanting to know what the best kind to get if I want it to go everywhere with me. When I go outside and other places etc.
Question #14:
I rescued this parrot after my dogs attacked it. It has a broken wing (which we are going to get strapped up) and feathers missing but thats about all...
Its very active (climbs around the cage) and its eating seed / native plants that i've seen this species eat around my house
But it wont drink any water, i have a dish of water in the cage on the floor but haven't seen her / him drink anything for hours
If i gave it some juicy fruit would that count as fluid for it?
I know birds don't drink all that much but i always see my cockatiels drinking
Thanks, Beth
We are not going to strap its wing up ourselves lol were taking it to a wildlife carer (she wont take the bird though - she said it will be fine with us)
Question #15:
So I have a few questions pertaining to my new parakeet who I have had for 3 days and can already be let out of his cage, petted, and is still learning the step up trick. Anyways, this is my first actual pet that my dad finally allowed me to have and I want to be the best owner possible. I heard birds need check ups, especially when you first get them. I got mine from petco (-_- I know....)
Is a check up really needed (because I don't want to make my dad waste money and it took a lot to convince him)? And do avian vets care enough for an animal so small? I've already found one in an animal hospital but I feel they're more looking for birds like parrots. My parakeet is so tiny I feel like they won't care.
Please no bad comments. I really want him/her to live as long as possible. Thank you!
P.s. any tips would be much appreciated!
Question #16:
I just don't see how they are similar other than they both start with p's
Question #17:
This may be sort of a stupid question to ask but someone told me that parrots have tongues, but I tend to think that's kind of impossible seeing as they are birds and they don't have teeth or lips like people and they have beaks.
I'm not sure if birds have a tongue or not. Do birds have tongues or not? If they don't, then how do they taste their food then?
Question #18:
I just bought salted, roasted sunflower seeds. =/
And I realized that my bird cannot eat them. Could I rinse them in water or uncrack them and then feed them to him?
I'm trying to train him with the clicker method. I was going to use these seeds as a treat along with the method, but, I forgot to check and see if they weren't salted.
Question #19:
Pigeons, Owls, Parrots etc :)
Prefer examples of artists who paint, draw, photograph, oil pastels etc. rather than artists who focus on bird sculptors
Thanks :)
Question #20:
I have a dog, and I love him to bits!!! It's just that i've always wanted a parrot but now I reeallllyyy want one!! Not a huge on, a normal sized one, but I've had 2 hamsters and a guinea pig in the past and i'm not gonna lie, my parents were right saying I wasn't going to look after it. But I know this time I will, I love parrots but all my Mam will say is No! No!! No!!! She hates hamsters and rabbits and stuff like that and I am pretty sure she probably wouldn't want a bird, but she didn't want the other pets either so? I know in my heart I will stay faithful to this bird if I could only convince my Mam. I know how long they can live for but I know I look after him, how to convince my Mam and how to bring it up??!!! Please help?!!!!
