TalonSis

here's my pizza!!! First, you start with a square bagel, toasted. (It was going to be an english muffin...but we ran out.) Then you put peanut butter on it, because Talon loves peanut butter: Then add carrots, and a little bit a cheese too, because Talon likes cheese better. Then you put some blueberries, a grape, watermelon, strawberies, and sprinkle on some Harrison's for nutrition: Viola! Melissa

Thank you guys so much!!! I definitly wasn't expecting 2 threads! :laugh: You guys are the greatest! Melissa

Thanks guys!! {Feel-good-0002006E}

dblhelix wrote: Exactly. I was just dicussing with my mom how Talon always flies to certain spots, because she knows it's a safe place to land. And that if she happens to not land in a certain safe spot, she will just fly around until she gets to another "landing" spot, or unless we put our hand up. Melissa

come on guys, get your entry in quick!!! Melissa

Because everyone is talking about how it is safer to keep a bird's wings clipped than let them fly, because of the dangers houses have, remember this. Even if a birds wings are clipped, they can still fly if they are very scared. Melissa

{Feel-bad-0002006A} That's terrible!!!!!

{Feel-good-0002006E} Sometimes I will be on here, and my mom will send me a pm telling me something. The other day she called me on the phone...from the other room!:ohmy: :laugh: :silly: Melissa

Wow, what a great idea!!! Maybe over the weekend I'll think of something... Melissa

It looks good!!{Feel-good-000200BB} Sorry about making you do that! Melissa

Congrats Tari!!! I was so worried that you were going to make 1,000 while I was in school today...thankfully you waited. Congrats Tari!!!! Melissa

:laugh: Melissa

Well the other day in the car me and my mom were discussing how long Greys live. I was wondering if there was any difference in how long CAG's or TAG's live. What brought this on was with horses, there are two types. Horses and Ponies.(Then those are separated into breeds...but...) Anyways the ponies are much smaller than the regular horses, much like the TAG's. But the ponies live much longer than horses, they usually live in their 30s to 40s, while horses are late 20s to 30s. Do you think TAG's could be the same way? So what do you think? Or is there really not enough information to tell? Love to hear your thoughts!! Melissa

Congratulations Fairy on getting 1,000 posts!!! Congrats Fairy, you deserve it! Melissa

Judy, I love that last one!!! :laugh: :laugh:

Wow, those are some great pictures!!! I absolutly LOVE the 2nd to last flying bird picture. Looks like you had fun! I hope you didnt get sunburned...:silly: :laugh: Melissa

Well today I had taken Talon outside today in her travel cage, to enjoy the sunshine. And all of a sudden she whistled, and was looking toward the roof. And I looked up and saw this! I'm not sure if it was there when I brought Talon out, or not. But it stayed there the longest time, and when you talked to it, it looked at you! We havent figured out what it is yet, at first my dad thought it was a dove. Anyways, after I came inside my mom said that the bird finally flew, and there was another brown one with it. It's pretty interesting, the bird didn't even seem afraid of us. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Wild_Horsefeathers/My%20Pictures/DSC_0178.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Wild_Horsefeathers/My%20Pictures/DSC_0176.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Wild_Horsefeathers/My%20Pictures/DSC_0181.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Wild_Horsefeathers/My%20Pictures/DSC_0184.jpg (Yes, I did take a lot of pictures. ) Melissa

YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2007 when... 1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave. 2. You haven't played Solitaire with real cards in years. 3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3. 4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you. 5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses. 6. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries. 7. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen. 8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it. 10. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee. 11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. : ) 12 You're reading this and nod ding and laughing. 13. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message. 14. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list. 15. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't#9 on this list AND NOW YOU ARE LAUGHING at yourself. Go on, forward this to your friends. You know you want to. :lol: :laugh:

lovemygreys is so smart, and congrats on becoming mod of the bird food room!

Ok here's a nice game. Basically what it is, is you say something nice, or a compliment, about the person who posted above you. Then the next person that posts, compliments you. Get it? Oh, and there's one rule. No saying "---is nice." It needs to be something better than that. Post away! Melissa
