My flatmate has been given a baby Parrot by her ex. But we don’t like birds in cages and we want to find a place where this bird can live happily.

Anyone know if a baby Parrot can survive if released in a park?
The nearest bird sanctuary to us is apparently a four hour drive, if not more.

We’re in London - anyone out there have any suggestions please?!

I doubt seriously that it would survive on its own. Have you tried calling the London Zoo? They just opened a new tropical bird walk through the Blackburn Pavilion.

There is no way that a baby Parrot would survive in the park,

Not only that but it is illegal to release domesticated birds into the wild and this could land you in a great deal of trouble,Why not advertise it in Cage & Aviary Birds there are quite a number of people looking for Parrot Pets.

I already have a 20 gallon and am going to switch.

I have seven tanks with monster lights on many of them and several filters on each.. They might account for 30 bucks of my electricity bill.

I’m sure you have regular lights and regulars pump(s). It will be a negligible rise in cost.

Please read all details before answering!… Thanks.

How would I/ do you think its possible/ do you think I should try to locate a duck that I put up for adoption in Wisconsin?? Was wondering if I would ever see him again?? )=

I really miss him… He was one that I couldn’t keep due to him having a life threatening health problem. I kept bringing him to the vet and every time they did something then a week later finding out it didn’t work… I spent a lot of money for vetting him… So instead of doing what to vet said I should do either let him die at home or put him down I brought him to the local humane society… I was desperate. I later found out they nursed him back to health and adopted him out from a speaker at my school that worked at the Humane Society… This a little under a year ago…
She said they changed his name and he lives on a farm… His name was “Plucky”.

Do you think its possible even if I couldn’t see him that I could talk to the new owners or something?

I doubt you will be able to locate the duck again. That being said, ask the speaker at your school and the staff at the humane society if they have any information about which farm he went to. Be aware that they might not be willing to give you this information for privacy reasons.

Fences are structures that are made to prevent entry or exit through a certain boundary. This is the most basic function of a fence; and here are the specific purposes for such barriers:

* Prevention of theft
* Keeping children or pets from getting out of the area
* To avoid trespassing
* To improve the appearance of gardens, houses and landscaping
* For real property demarcation
* To keep livestock in the farm and keep the animals that are preying at them at bay

When it comes to horses, the usual wooden picket fences that residences normally setup would not do any good. Horses are meant to be free by nature and when people try to keep them, it is but normal that these animals would still seek freedom. Hence, an essential part of taming and eventually keeping a horse is to put up a fence that is long-lasting.

A horse fence has two main purposes: to keep horses in a secure place and to do just that safely. A horse-owner could choose to have rustic, high-tech, electric, utilitarian, stable or transitory fencing yet all these are meant to do the two basic duties. Along with a good fencing plan, an owner should also have a spacious farm (or any other roomy area), enough food, and many other horse paraphernalia.

An aluminum fence is probably one of the best types of fence that a horse-owner should consider. It is a preferred choice when it comes to fencing due to many advantages. Here are some of the characteristics of aluminum that makes it a perfect horse fence:

* Aluminum is as strong as iron yet it does not rust and they often come with powder-coat finishes which makes up for well-protected surfaces.
* Since aluminum is powder-coated, it has an enhanced look and when the owner decides to have it painted, he can easily do so because of the fence’s smooth surface.
* Although highly durable, it is also lightweight and malleable. It can easily be shaped into any style that the owner wants.
* It could also be maintenance-free.
* They often come with lifetime warranty so the horse-owners are given peace of mind.
* They are highly cost effective.

Also one of the fence types that have an ever-increasing number of buyers is the vinyl fencing. Just like aluminum, it is durable and totally inexpensive. For people who do not want to paint their horse fences, this is probably the most popular choice as the color is consistent throughout the entire product. Compared to wood, it has five times the tensile strength of the ordinary wooden fence! Also, it has a low-maintenance feature; highly expandable; and is made out of recycled materials.

Gone are those days for electric fences for horses! With vinyl and aluminum around, there are now better and safer options to consider.

My cat just had a litter of four kittens. She was a stray so we don’t know how old she is. I noticed the other day that she was starting to loose hair. It starts right below her ears and continues down to her eyes!! HELP!!! I’m very concerned and I don’t know what to do. Is it going to go through out her whole body? What can i do to fix it? Please Help!!!

In addition to what the other commenters have said, cats’ fur is normally thin on the part of their head between the ears and the eyes. They have a lot of scent glands there, which they use to mark “their” people and “their” other possessions. Hormonal changes can affect hair growth. Also if your cat has dark fur, the thinly furred areas are a lot more obvious.

She just needs a bit of extra nutrition. What she is going through is normal.. her body is busy producing milk for the kittens, which is stressful for her, and it takes extra nutrition. Some cats tend to lose some of their fur during this time if they weren’t completely healthy and eating well during pregnancy. When she is finished nursing them (or perhaps sooner) the fur will come back. Call the vet if the skin where the fur was lost begins to look scabby/scaly. Otherwise she’s fine. If it does spread far though, contact a vet.
You could give her some kitten replacement milk to help her with milk production, add vitamins, and ease a little of the strain on her body
