Damn it!

A cockatoo bite really bleeds a lot!

1. Do you need mouth-to-mouth resuscitation?

[In_The_Wind]

3. Yes. Please!

[lastlib]

4. I'll send ohiosmith right over!

(I can't make it, to my regret....!)

[In_The_Wind]

7. I forgive you! AND Thanks for that.

My boo-boo hurts. A lot!

[Sekhmets Daughter]

2. Ooooh and they hurt!

[In_The_Wind]

6. It is a deep puncture wound!

Top and bottom of my index finger.
The worst part ....

$328.08 to be exact. I have lots of fresh meat and mushrooms that can't sit for long.

8. Yikes....

bandage it well...

BJ's and Costco....I rarely get out of there for less than $300...well actually I don't go to either... The ex calls and asks what I want from Costco... picks it up for me and delivers! I like him so much better now that is he 'the ex' I rather imagine he would say much the same of me!

10. I can't! I'm cooking. The second crockpot full is already going.

Now I have to soak my finger (again) so the surface won't heal too quickly.
I've had cat bites from the days when I was showing as a member of the Westminster Cat Club.


My ex lovers are some of my best friends. However my ex husbands are history!

11. Children forge a bond...

wanted or otherwise, that eventually becomes 'comfortable'.

Happy cooking!

5. You put some antibacterial on that?

Don't want it getting infected.

Your 'too in spring time mode? Crazy and slutty? All my birds are; they're dry humping anything that doesn't move fast.

9. I put Bach Rescue Cream on it to stop the bleeding.

Now I'll have to watch for signs of infection if the outside heals too fast.
There goes my fingerprint! oops

Pookie is 16. She has been laying eggs for years. All I was doing was putting peanuts in her food dish. She was on the far side of her cage .........

12. They can bite, can't they?

What kind of cockie is it?

I wish you a speedy return to full health.

13. Pookie is a Lesser Suffer Crested Cockatoo.

14 years ago I nicknamed her The can opener with wings
when she bit through my nail into the nail bed. OUCH!

A 2 year old Umbrella Cockatoo just joined my flock. Chloe is a love toward me.

16. Sulphurs are the most beautiful cockies.

I'm from Australia and we just love our cockies. It's great to see dozens of cockies on the ground feeding. My neighbour in Darwin used to put down seeds for the galahs and there would be dozens of then just 20 metrers away.

Kookaburras are pretty cool too.

Edited because "to" is not the same as "too".

17. They are beautiful! Loud but lovely! It's wonderful to hear from you.

I feed and provide a heated birdbath in Upstate New York.

We are about 5 weeks away from the return of the Ruby Throated Hummingbirds.
I'll have to cultivate a new following by planting flowers.
Feeders with sugar water draw too many yellow jackets.

18. Loud? Not just the cockies!

Darwin is a hot city (25C is considered cold) so the windows are always open. Every morning, the birds, including cockies, would wake me up. I never once set an alarm clock. I knew what time the birds would wake me up.

Great way to be woken up. It starts off quietly with just one or two birds, then just builds and builds until you've got a whole orchestra of birds going at it. Beautiful.

And I think I've just created a new collective noun!!!

14. Owwww!

Your birds are beautiful, but I'd rather, and often do, suffer a bite from Sophie the malevolent cat any day, rather than a bite from a beaked creature.

Heal quickly.

15. Pookie is the only bird I do not handle. She hates all women on sight.

She was a rescue. Poor thing. She loves most men.



Thank you.
Parrot bites seem to take longer than cat bites to heal or maybe it just feels that way.
