ParrotRecipes.com - Parrot Questions
Question #1:What types of Pet Birds can i put in a 24 x 22 x 66 cage?Looking at cockatoos and parrots.Looking for opinions as far as which ones make the best pets. Thanks! Question #2:All macaw requirements?In the next year or two, once I get a settled and stable lifestyle, I plan on getting myself a new feathered friend. I've been doing research up the wall, and have decided on either a male catalina or flame macaw. I realize that it is a huge responsibility/endeavor, but I have experience training and handling parrots and I know what to expect.I just want to know the total price of what I'm getting myself into (monetary wise, not mentally :P). I realize that it's probably going to be well over 2 grand, as I've done some math, but I wanna hear it from those who have already spent the money. Don't get me wrong, I'd sell my own soul for my animals, so I'm willing to spend as much as I can. I'm just trying to be realistic about prices. Any information on the temperament of hybrid macaws is welcome, too. I've been having trouble finding that tidbit of info. Question #3:What are the major differences between a PC Parrot and a PC Carrot?I don't get it. Can someone please explain to this man hating feminist lesbian. Please? Thanks.Question #4:Wtf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?Ok my cousins have parrots they squawk all day and all night at the top of their freaking lungs. They re roommate just yells shut up and they stop but they don't listen to me. THEY R DRIVING ME CRAZY! How can I get them to stop? WOuld a little water make them stop? Like if I splash it my cousin said they listen to they re roommate because he smacks them, but I wont do that. And save me im evil BS Idc they would annoy you tooAnd they go out of their cage every night they even go outside so pls dont suggest that dude they have their cage cleaned everyday. and their cage is humongous they have lots of toys! they are lil brats! Question #5:What kind of parrot Cichlid is this?I have 3 blood red parrot cichlid who are all orange. And I have what Petsmart said was a blood parrot when I bought it. Its about 3 inches and around the size of 2 of my orange ones. I have heard that they don't get their colors till they are older but my smallest parrot is only an inches and orange so I don't think its one of them.Here is a picture. Click Here Click Here Question #6:Three questions for Atheists...........?Is your trust in science based on faith or based on science?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 (and now they doubt even that). Unless you’ve observed something yourself, or observed and interpreted the evidence yourself and drew your own conclusions, you are just as guilty of 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 course 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. Also Where does language, art, music, and religion come from? (This is related to my first question) Most atheists will parrot something about cranial evolution (without knowing the slightest bit about the topic) – but this is in fact one of the most baffling questions in anthropology today and it remains unsolved. Approximately 50,000 years ago (the numbers vary), we suddenly see an explosion in things like archaic flutes, abstract cave drawings (not just represntations of observations like antelope and men with spears), venus figurines, evidence of ritual burials, etc. Before this date: nothing. Why? Survival? I don’t think so. Our hominid cousins, the Neanderthals, who lived at the same time, in the same place, and for much longer, didn’t need any of that to survive. The hominids before either of us, H. Erectus, lasted even longer without any of those things. Greater mating potential? Maybe, but you’re stretching, and you know it. And you have what? No proof. So, I ask you, where does it come from? You’ll find that in order to explain this you have to rely on the same kind of faith in evolution and natural selection that Christians use in defending their faith. Same basic human behavior, different parameters Finally Is absence of proof the proof of absence? This belief is fundamental to the atheist position. You must answer yes to this question or you have a very hard time denying most, if not all, religious beliefs. However, you should also see how absurd this statement is. The fact that it is always impossible to prove that something does not exist does not change the fact that it cannot be known that something doesn’t exist. So mustn’t you be agnostic? I’ve heard responses to this one too, but they have so far been illegitimate and unsatisfying 1. Name the major extinct hominid species from which human beings are presently believed to have evolved. The short list is: Australopithecines -> H. Habilis -> H. Erectus -> H. Sapiens -> H. Sapiens Sapiens. H.Sapiens is sometimes referred to as archaic humans. 2. How long ago did the modern human (Homo Sapiens Sapiens) come into existence? The numbers vary, and the exact cutoff between H. Sapiens Sapiens is disputed (some don’t even use the term). But anatomically moderns are known as old as about 150,000 years ago, but it didn’t happen over night. The split from H. Erectus started between half a million and about 350,000 years ago. 3. How long ago did early hominids leave Africa? There is evidence of H.Erectus (and some claim H.Habilis) in Europe and Asia starting around 1.5 million years ago. Most scientists today believe that H.Erectus evoled solely in Africa and migrated, but some still believe that H.Habilis migrated, evolving uniquely into the same species, H.Erectus (you see the problem with this). 4. How long ago did hominids split from the other primates? The number changes every time a new skeleton is dug up. Originally, when the australopithecines were first identified, it was believed to be about 5 or 6 million years ago. DNA evidence suggests around 12 million years ago. Others say 8. It probably isn’t longer than 15, but it could be as short as 8. 5. Which biological feature is believed to be the most important in the evolution of man, and why? Bipedalism. The brain came long, long after this. Australopithecines were little more than chimpanzees who walked on two feet, but from them, humans are believed to have evolved. The reason for this, aside from the obvious archaeological evidence, is that once the hands are freed from walking, they can be used to make tools. This triggered growths in the brain since better tools means better survival. 6. Name one phyisical trait or behavior that is unique to the genus Homo. Good luck. You might try bipedalism. Nope – the ostrich. Tool use. Nope – sea otters. Transmission of ideas between generations. Nope – this has been observed in macaques (relatives of babboons). Culture. Nope - this has been observed (in a primitive form) by chimpanzees, who have unique behaviors and tool uses depdending on where in Africa they live. Belief in God – you’re on to something! 7. Who were the neanderthals? Where did they live, when did they live, and why are they gone? Neanderthals were early relatives of humans (we did not evolve from them!) who lived in Europe, the middle east, and parts of Asia about 350,000 to 30,000 years ago. They were not considered as intelligent as we are. They did not develop the same kinds of tools (we humans are believed to have at least atlatls, but probably bows and arrows, as early as about 50,000 years ago). They did not display definitive ritualistic behavior, and they are generally not believed to have buried their dead. The most likely scenario for their disappearance is that we, the humans, killed them over hunting territory disputes until we drove them to extinction. 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? A major volcano erupted in the Indian Ocean and deposited a layer of soot many inches thick across nearly the entire bottom of the ocean (as well as on land). DNA sampling of modern humans from around the globe has suggested that, around the same time, a group of about 3,000 humans living in Ethiopia populated the entire planet. Meaning, all other hominids, and all other human beings, were killed in that event or were replaced by descendants of this one, small group. Garden of Eden, anyone? Question #7:Scientifically speaking, what is the difference between a parrot and a parakeet?Question #8:Could you translate 10 Arabic words for me?Could you translate 10 words for me1. zayak 2. bardo 3. mesheet 4. amaylo 5. feyya 6. wara 7. Imma (as in Ya Imma Ana) 8. elly beya 9. awelt 10. eeno leya G.#2, I do not intend to murder Arabic language but I want to learn it and I refused to be parrot fashion Koll ma fi albeik, Afwan! Question #9:Would nascar let a parrot say 'start your engines' at the beginning of a race?I think that would be cool. Could you see that, it would be a hoot!Question #2: Who or what would you like to hear/see say "start your engines?" Question #10:Are indian ringneck parrots loud?Would my neighbors get bothered? Are they much louder than a cockatiel?Rebe: I'm not asking about a pionus parrot! I'm asking about a ringneck! Question #11:What is the best type of Parrot for an Apartment?We are going to get a parrot!! I am so excited. We have been doing lots of research, and even spent a few days in a parrot rescue center to learn how to care for and handle the birds.Thing is, we live in an apartment. It is a big apartment but we do have neighbors. The good thing is that it is an old brick building and the walls are pretty thick. Birds that are very chatty are ok, but we are trying to avoid a total "screamer" Now, I know ALL BIRDS can scream and sometimes it really depends on the individual bird and not the species . . . . but give me your advice: We want a friendly bird who is good with all people . . not a one person bird. Yes, we would love a good talker, but its not mandatory. Any recommendations for a kind of parrot for us to get ? We have been thinking about: Senegal, Quaker, African Grey, Indian Ringneck, Eclectus, Hanhs Macaw, Caique Give me your opinions please Thanks!! Question #12:do Quaker parrots migrate?Question #13:Is it ok for my african gray parrot to eat chicken? He especially likes eating the marrow out of the bones.?He loves chicken, especially the marrow from the bone. I feel funny giving it to him 'cuz it seems like cannibalism.Question #14:How long do blood parrot cichlids live for?(Not red blood parrot fish)?I have three blood parrot cichlids. I was wondering, how long do they live with proper care and all that good stuff. And, what is the oldest age that a blood parrot cichlid has ever reached. Thank you.Question #15:do you think you would... (Guys only please)?date me? lol so i saw a TON of these questions on here, and i saw all the good & bad answers, and wondered what you guys would think about me... so here goes. i am 17, semi short, with light brown hair that just reaches my shoulders. i am slim, i weigh around 115 lb i like sports, but am not muscley or anything. i have about average grades- mostly As & Bs. i love to laugh, but sometimes get annoyed by dumb jokes. im pretty easy going & try really hard not to be jealous, because i know how annoying that can be. ive had a few boyfriends, but im not a player,(single now) i would never use someone to get another person jealous. i love to cuddle, but i have promised myself never to have sex before marriage. i do spend alot of time with my friends & activities, but i almost always include my bf in them if he wishes to be... what else should i tell you... oh yea- the disadvantages.i dont like to stay at home very often, i have ALOT of pets, including an attacking parrot, a cuddly dog, and a hamster. lol so idk what else you would want to know before "dating me" but theoretically would you want to go out with me? what else would you want to know? k.. also im going off to college in a year. and dont be shallow, but i have a slight button nose, a few freckles, brown eyes, average ears, and a cross between a square and a circular face. i dont wear jewelry. my personality is mostly fun, but i can be serious sometimes, and will get annoyed if you think im kidding when im dead serious. my favorite music is rock & country. Question #16:What is the first thing you would teach your new parrot to say :)?Question #17:is it "bad' to buy an adult parrot?A couple years ago I was interested in this Congo African Grey who was 8 years old and was for sale. I talked to the woman on the phone and she told me a lot about the bird, mostly good stuff. I had asked someone I know (who has had a CAG for about 10 years now, and has had a Quaker and various Cockatiels before that for much longer) and she said that buying an adult bird runs you a big risk of getting one with issues, whether they are mild (like screaming) or dangerous (biting every man it meets, for instance)I am seeing "adult" birds pop up everywhere. There's a 4 year old CAG for sale, and a 20 year old Umbrella Cockatoo (who, from his pictures, looks like a complete clown!) I know Parrots can live to be 40 years, easy. If I go and meet a bird, and 'test' it, what are the chances it'll still turn out to be nuts? Question #18:Is it true most parrots prefer men over women?Thinking about getting a parrot but it wont be until the end of summer, I still have to do more research on parrots. I have heard that alot of parrots don't like women if its true do you know what kinds of parrots that will be great for first time owners. I would like one that talks and one that will not take a chunk out of me.Thanks Question #19:Is it weird for these fish to live together?I have a 29 gallon tank with 4 Firemouth Cichlids, 1 Blood Red Parrot Cichlid, 1 Oscar, and 4 Red Minor Tetras aka Serpae Tetra! They all get along very well with no fighting or harrassing each other! They swim all around the tank and play with each other! Is it weird for all of these fish to be so social and play with each other? Did i get the pick of the crop? Also...i am upgrading to a 75 gallon in a couple of weeks! So please..no size tips!Question #20:What is the best age to get an African Grey Parrot in order for him to bond with all the family?I have found 2 breeders. One will give me the bird fully weaned at around 12 weeks, and another breeder suggested I get the bird while it is still being spoon-fed (twice daily) in order for the bird to fully bond with me and my family. What is your advice?** Powered by Yahoo Answers |
