| Ian |
We have a 5 year old Black Masked Female Lovebird, who has been fine until
yesterdy evening, after her weekly 'bath' she is usually wrapped in a towel
and enjoys playing 'catch the finger' while drying off and keeping warm.
However, she merely kept falling asleep, and for most of last night kept
falling over!! we do know that Lovebirds in particular are prone to heart
attacks, strokes and shock, but after speaking to a local vet (can't find
any Avian Vets down here, and not long moved here) he said the best thing
was to keep her in her cage and extra warm and just hope!! Anyway, she has
been sleeping quite a bit, eaten and drunk a little, but is still very
'groggy' and prone to falling off her perch!. She has chirped a few times,
but we are very worried about her, and after spending most of the morning
and lunch trawling through phone books, still cannot find an Avian Vet near
us. Any advice would be gratefully received, we desperately want to find an
Avian Vet or know what to do for her, as we don't want to lose our 'Poppet'.
Please feel free to email me direct at lovebytes@blueyonder.co.uk any
sensible advice will be gratefully received. Thank you

I hope your bird drops dead, you bird-loving freak. Go get a real
pet...an AKC registered dog, asshole.

Well your pathetic user name more than likely sums up both your attitude and
level of intelligence.
BTW I use to own several American Pit Bulls (before they were outlawed in
the UK) and they'd have quite happily chewed your balls off!! but then I
suppose that you'd need to have some in the first instance!!

Ian,
I've just got one thing to say to ya. . .
WAY to go.
I don't usually advocate sicing a dog on a person for "no" reason, but
in this case I'd have just sat back and encouraged your four legged babies
to do as much damage as they could.

Thanks Herman
Unfortunately, I just happened to be in a 'pretty upset mood' anyway. I did
vow after losing my 4 Pit Bulls(I had to have them put to sleep after being
banned in the UK) that I'd never have another pet ever again, but even
though we lost Poppet's Sister Po-Po (yes, we had 2 Hens who happily lived
together!!) a couple of years ago, Poppet is even more than just part of the
family. Just got back from the Vets and more injections, but she is
definitely more alert and seems to be more active. I just hope that she's
not acting, as Lovie's are prone to doing.
Yes, I never would advocate setting a dog or any animal against somebody or
another animal ever, but I believe that my 4 guys they totalled over
400lbs!! (Bilbo, Frodo, Sam and Gandalf.... yes I named them after LOR!)
would have scared the C&%$ outta him, but then again he'd just be on his
heels as any yellow backed coward would be.. LOL!!
Later
Ian

I've had your kind of "real pets". A 72 Lb. male AKC Siberian
that was as gentle as could be to anything that he couldn't over
power. He'd kill anything that got in his reach, other than his mate,
that he could. Including small stray dogs and adult cats that got
into our yard. I watched him catch and kill a rat before you'd even
know what was going on. I saw the small female down a starling in one
gulp and leave the head behind. What have you got or had?
I have two vicious love birds now.
