Parakeet training and bonding?
As a gift from my grandmother for my 15th birthday (today) I am getting a parakeet. I picked up a book about them and have everything ready for its arrival. I have read several mixed opinions about one thing though and was just curious what your thoughts were. Some say that as soon as you get your bird home you need to start working on bonding with it, putting your hand in its cage. etc, etc. Others say to wait for at least 2 days so that the bird is used to its surroundings and calm. What do you think? Thank you very much for your time. :]
I had the same conflict. I just took it as fast as my bird would allow. See how the bird reacts, every one is different. It might be comforted by you in his new home, or you might terrify the bird. Just play it by ear. Good luck. 
And congratulations.

How to Get your Kids Out the Door on Time
If you struggle in the mornings with unmotivated and forgetful children who drag their feet, and you always seem to be running late, stop the chaos! With preparation, motivation, and these tips, you can get your family to school and you can be on time from now on.
Prepare, Prepare, Prepare
• Perform most of your morning routine the night before.
• Pack lunches in advance
• Gather school supplies and books
• Lay out clothing (complete with shoes) before going to bed.
• Have everyone shower at night if possible.
• Set the breakfast table after the supper dishes are cleared away.
• Keep ready-to-grab-and-go breakfast foods available for rushed mornings
• Empty the dishwasher at night so breakfast dishes can go directly into the wash
Keep a schedule
• Set your alarm to allow 20 minutes of extra time each morning. Do not hit snooze!
• Use an alarm clock with a battery back-up in case of power failure
• Set a schedule for bathroom time for each member of the family. Enforce strict adherence
• Set an alarm for 10 minutes before departure time. When the alarm sounds, instruct everyone to stop what they are doing, don shoes and coats and grab their bags. If whatever they wanted to bring isn’t ready to go, that’s just too bad.
• Check the weather conditions each morning as soon as you wake up. This alerts you to poor road conditions, the need to scrape windows or shovel out your driveway before leaving home.
• Ban television and video games from the morning routine. These are huge time stealers.
• If a task is not vital to that morning’s routine, leave it for later that day. Return calls, check email, feed the parakeet, and locate that missing sock when you get home.
• Wake your children up early enough that they have time to prepare properly.
Get Organized
• Designate one area for backpacks, shoes, and coats. Check the area each night to make sure nothing is missing.
• Purchase a book bag or backpack for each child. Have him or her pack the bag the night before. If an item is not in the bag by bedtime, it does not go to school. This may seem harsh at first, but after several days of forgotten iPods, cell phones, and school assignments, children learn to stock the bag each night. This eliminates the mad rush through the house each morning to locate missing items.
• Freeze snacks for the entire week to make packing lunches easier.
• Serve cold cereals and apples or bananas for breakfast instead of pancakes and sausage. This drastically cuts back on the morning routine. Even younger children can prepare a bowl of cereal with little or no help.
• Keep your car keys, cell phone, and wallet in the same place every day.
• Put gas in the car in the evenings. Keep the tank half full at all times.
Putting a stop to morning chaos and chronic lateness requires changing your schedule and your habits. It may seem difficult at first, but over time, a smooth morning routine becomes second nature.

My parakeet’s nose keeps changing in color. What’s up with that?
I have 2 parakeets who are about 6 months old now. I believe one is a boy, because the book I have on Parakeets says that if their nose turns bluish in color then it’s a boy. the other one is a little smaller than the boy, a lot more fiesty, and has a brownish pink nose. I know that should implicate that it’s a girl, but his/her nose has peeled and turned blue, and then peeled again turned back brownish pink in color. Does anybody know what that means? Should I take it to a vet? It seems to be fine, other than the fact that it’s nose has changed colors twice. Right now it’s nose is brownish pink. Does anyone know whats going on with my bird, and is it a boy or girl?
This place above their nose you are talking of is called a CERE. In males it will be bluish purple, but females can be any range of colors from pink to brown to sort of purple. Since your birds are still fairly young, it is a little early to tell yet with the one who is pinkish brown. More than likely, this ia a female, and she is just going through the season for mating where her cere will get brown and crusty. Keep an eye on her beak and see what color it is most of the time. If you do in fact have a male and a female, make sure you dont allow them to mate if you dont want babies!! Good luck!

Promised Land [CD-ROM] Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge… |
