Top Ten Bird Rules
All Birdie owners should know these by heart! TOP TEN BIRD RULES: 1. If you like it, it's mine. 2. If I can reach it, it's mine. 3. If it's in my beak, it's mine. 4. If I can take it from you, it's mine. 5. If I had it a little while ago, it's mine. 6. If it's mine, it must never appear to be yours in any way. 7. If I'm chewing something, all the pieces are mine. 8. If it looks like mine, it's mine. 9. If I saw it first, it's mine. 10. If you have something and you put it down, it automatically becomes mine.

Some of their nests 3. More nests 4. Another Quaker Tree

The Wall for the Cause fundraiser will come to conclusion on 10 June 2006 with an educational seminar featuring Dr. Branson Ritchie as the keynote speaker. The project is a cooperative effort to raise funds and awareness of the lethal avian disease, Proventricular Dilatation Disease (PDD).PDD, often referred to as "the avian AIDS," has no cure, no vaccination and is just as deadly as its human counterpart. However, unlike AIDS, scientists neither know exactly what causes PDD or how PDD is transmitted, nor can they test for the disease with any degree of certainty on a living bird. Consequently, there is a sense of urgency to determine the cause of PDD and its means of transmis...
