| 36.1 | You mean feather balls don't you? | CSC32::K_WORKMAN | No Dukes! | Mon Oct 31 1988 15:08 | 15 |
| Shush........... Can't let that cat out of the bag! You meant
feather balls didn't you? Our local fur dresser dipped the whole
lot of them in some type of conditioner!
As a side note:
Some of our furniture has some hair on it.... Now I know this sounds
like I am a bad housekeeper but I am not. I just have 4 cats and
its hard to vacuum daily. The question here is that my birds will
sit on the furniture with me. Would it hurt a bird to swallow kitty
or puppy type hair?
Please don't laugh at me. I really do try to keep my house hair-free!

| Me laugh! Ha! You oughta see my house! I just hired a maid service!
I pulled the house a part -- cleaning up before she came!!!
I don't think the fur should create a problem...as long as there
are no parasites or oil....when my sheltie sheds, I give some of
her hair to the canaries to nest with!!!

| My finches love to nest with my lhasa apso's hair. It's just like
the stuff you buy for them to nest with. And their nests look so
nice -- all colors of dryer lint (I don't use fabric softener) and
white hair.......now if I could only get them to stop throwing seed!

| 36.4 | Dryer lint an yarn...careful | FREKE::HUTCHINS | Feathered Obsessions Aviary | Tue Nov 01 1988 11:53 | 10 |
| A vet friend of mine once told me to stop wasting money by getting
commercial nesting hair..."use your dryer lint..." I did. Neither
one of us thought about the polyester fibers though...some of the
polyester fibers worked themselves around the foot of a good breeding
zebra hen, and it atrophied...she lost her little foot! No foot,
no percing, no breeding, no more little babies.
Just a word to the wise...don't find out like we did!

| 36.5 | All cotton birds' nest | NYFS01::CHERYL | Cheryl McGinty | Tue Nov 01 1988 13:26 | 6 |
| OOOPS! I guess I shoulda mentioned that I only use the dryer lint
from cotton loads (most of the stuff I wear is cotton) and without
fabric softener.

| 36.6 | Try a bunny! | CSC32::K_WORKMAN | No Dukes! | Tue Nov 01 1988 16:15 | 5 |
| Re: 3
Buy some bunnies! My birds can get seed clear across the room...
But my bunnies, when allowed to roam around, eat it all! It's great!
A real little eco-system....

| Some people are real funny about visiting someone that has a zoo
for a house. Well I say "DON'T BOTHER" (to come to visit then).
My motto is that "ANIMALS ARE PEOPLE TOO!" Maybe I should change
my notes personal name YEAH... YEAH.. I will do that. The Dukakis
thing is getting old...
Anyway, when someone tells me a story of a bird being smuggled into
the states by being strapped to the inside of a car door panel I
run out and buy another bird! I believe in the death penalty for
people who have no regard for animal life and abuse them to death.
I just don't understand why people can do such crimes.
Here in Colorado the Air Force decided that there where too many
deer running around on their property. These deer where near tame!
They invited licensed hunters in the area to have a field day!
Well needless to say the protest started but to no avail. Being
rational doesn't mean that we are the smarter species!
My cats are all "saved from death" cases, my bunnies where saved
from being someones dinner and my birds, well... Alot of people
think that birds are no-trouble pets. When they find out that there
is work involved and they get tired of it, they figure that since
it has wings they can just let it fly away and it will be happy.
Well I buy birds to potentially save them from this demise. As
soon as my husband and I get our house on 10 acres, well, expect
the animal population to definately increase!
Can I get off my rampage now? Thanks.....
PS..
I like this note, its TRULY A "LITTLE" OFF TRACK...
Sorry..

| 36.9 | That's Right, Off Track! | FREKE::HUTCHINS | Feathered Obsessions Aviary | Wed Nov 02 1988 16:59 | 8 |
| That's right, since this is "off track" we are having a controversy
over the moose in New Hampshire. Talk about a walking brick! :')
I think we should just leave them alone. But that's just me...using
my heart not my head, I don't want to use my head, or I'd have
moose too!
