    Duh, I wonder what your kids would have looked like…

    Just kidding…I agree with the strong natural bond concept.

  2. Amon re,

    That is very common among birds. When more than one bird is involved, the birds don’t seem willing to form the same bond with humans as they do when it is just one bird.

    I thought about breeding my macaw, but I was told that it would be detrimental to the bond we have established. It seems the human-bird bond is not as strong as that which would occur naturally.

  3. Lottakatz,

    You were lucky….ours ran as a flock and they didnt like nobody or nothing…..

  4. Good example of a dog to take out of the breeding pool. I wouldn’t take a dog like that bird hunting with me. Cute, I guess, but it just isn’t natural.

  5. DUH & Pinandpuller, awwwwwwwwww, good stories. Birds, even the “lowly” barnyard type, are more smart that they are generally given credit for being by people that don’t spend time around them.

  7. I had a pet turkey that used to mix it up a bit with my Sheppard/Lab mix, but only at dinner time. She loved dog food and I had to put out a seperate dish.

  8. Little Johnny and his dad was taken a nature trail walk when they came up on two deers gettin it on,and Johnny said Daddy what dem two deers doin to each other? Johnny’s daddy said,

    Johnny you thirteen years old now boy,bout fine time you lernt dem two deers is making lil bambi’s.

    They walked on a lil further and saw two rabbits gettin it on and again Johhny said, daddy what dem two rabbits doin to each other.

    Johnny’s daddy said,Johnny you thirteen years old now boy bout fine time you lernt dem two rabbits is making lil peter cotton tails.

    Walked on a little further and saw two dawgs gettin it on. Johnny asked again and his daddy said,Johnny you thirteen years old now boy bout fine time you lernt them two dawgs is makin puppies.

    They went home and later on that night Jonny heard some noise comin from his mom and dads room so he went and opened the door to find his daddy on top of mommie.

    Johnny said,daddy watt u doin to momma. His daddy said Johnny you thirteen years old now boy I think it’s fine time you lern’t m e and your momma is making babies.

    Johnny said,will could you roll her over,I think I’d rather have a puppy.

  9. My macaw will follow me around like a puppy dog. When a bird trusts you, they can be really good pets.

    A friend saved a turkey from becoming Thanksgiving dinner. When she would have BBQs in the summer, the turkey would make its rounds among the guests. It would push its head up under your hand to get you to scratch its head.

  10. Amon Re “when I was growing up my aunt gave me, my two brothers and one sister each a duck for Easter… Long story short they all lived and turned into the meanest animals ya ever saw.”

    — I received a duck also and it grew up to be AWESOME! It would jump in your lap to be petted and fall asleep. We would walk it around the neighborhood like one would walk a dog but it didn’t have to be leashed, it would follow along. It was an outstanding pet.

    The Dog and the Oyster

    A DOG, used to eating eggs, saw an Oyster and, opening his mouth to its widest extent, swallowed it down with the utmost relish,supposing it to be an egg. Soon afterwards suffering great pain in his stomach, he said, “I deserve all this torment, for my folly in thinking that everything round must be an egg.”

    They who act without sufficient thought, will often fall into unsuspected danger.

    ~From Aesop by way of mespo.

    Some are good and loving.

    Some are vile and live to see the world burn.” Buddha Is Laughing

    Nahh, there are no bad dogs, just bad owners. Cliche I know but that’s because its true.

    Take a bad dog out of a bad situation and over time it will become a good dog.

    All dogs go to heaven.

  14. Doggy needs to be careful….when I was growing up my aunt gave me, my two brothers and one sister each a duck for Easter…back then they dyed them Easter colors…Our parents werent to upset as they figured that the birds would never survive….Long story short they all lived and turned into the meanest animals ya ever saw..

  15. Being the eternal skeptic that I am—customary, after reading this blawg daily—I do not trust the apparent benevolence this unlikely ‘Little Rascals” dawg is displayin’. Near the end of the video he licked his muzzle and he was likely thinking DUCK!, while I was thinking duck! Duck, duck!

    We likely did not see the full conclusion of this vid, that is, “the rest of the story”. If we had a full exposé, the owner of these pet domestics would likely be charged with animal cruelty, in todays world…Some dawgs are just like some humans—some are slower than others at completing tasks at hand—or underfoot…

    Hey Our Gang, this aint no Petey the Pup! Ol’ Timer Pete was the bestest, swellest poochie ever…

  19. Dogs are like people.

    Some are good and loving.

    Some are vile and live to see the world burn.

    Dogs are simple though. The smartest is still a five year old human with limited language skills. But it is conversely this very simplicity that makes dogs appealing. They are just more honest about their nature than humans.

    What has become me a Sunday tradition here, the photographic parables about compassion and silliness in the animal kingdom, are both relief from some of the more serious (i.e. threatening) topics and a lesson in their own right. One might say, “Animal stories to teach lessons about human behavior! Don’t be ridiculous!”

    To which I say simply “Aesop”.

  20. This Proves that it is Sunday Morning. Think you, well you won’t have to worry about these dogs hounding you to death….
