  1. Sewing
    The thread bunches up on the underside of whatever I try to sew. I think it's called making a bird's nest. I've tried using different fabrics and threads, reading the manual and watching the video and re-threading repeatedly and adjusting the tension. Nothing helped. Any suggestions on how I...

    Scroll back to 1995. I acquired a baby cockatiel, when a friend of the family, who also bred tiels (and has since retired, to my relief) told my aunt that she had a tiel I could have. I went to go visit, and the breeder tosses a little grey baby hen at me, and I realized that the bird...

    I've got a female red bellied parrot who is about a year old now. She's decided that I'm her one and only and will regurgitate for me and only lets me handle her. This is ok since I'm the only one who interacts with her and no one else has much interest. My questions is, has anyone had...

    I have a bougainvillea plant that grows up the side of my patio. We had freezing temps this winter ( even in the winter - in the desert ) and had started trimming the frozen branches off. What did I find?? Lo and behold - there's a bird's nest in the upper branches under the ceiling that...

    Are you sure it will fit in your oven? I only have a 15lb'r (exactly) so I'm no where near the biggest for a Village record, lol. :bird:

    Picked up "Walter" the band-tailed pigeon today. You can't really see it in the pic, but he was found with a huge hematoma on his broken wing, and he is currently wrapped so that he can't move the wing. He will probably never fly again, but the rescue is hoping to use him as a foster bird, to...

    As some of you know, I signed up to be a wildlife rehabber a few months ago. I have been patiently waiting for my first bird for quite a while, but since I am on the songbird team only, apparently, it is the wrong time of year for them in this area. But then I got a phone call!! Not for a...

    This is about half the number eating from the feeders right now. The reason these guys are in the tree is because the feeders (and the tree that the feeders hang on) is full of birds - no room for these guys until someone gets full and leaves. :) Makes me think of a mini-Hitchcock movie. Not...

    Julie (baxjul) had a bird in her house this past week... Last night I was in the living room watching tv about 9PM & heard a noise out towards the kitchen, sounded like the snap of a mouse trap so looked under the sink & no mouse. Looked around & went back to watch tv then heard another noise...

    How do I get it out? It is in dd's room (so funny, picture her screaming and running in there, then the bird follows, so she screaming runs back out!) Anyway, we shut the door, called dh, he said wait till he gets home. UM, he gets home at 6. Won't it poop all over?
