The park that was in Waipapa near kerikeri was originally started by a man named Bruce Cornelius, he had a few lions, a baboon and perhaps 1 other big cat. I think from memory they were all ex circus animals. He didn't charge an arm and a leg to get in and the enclosures were bigger and nicer. Unfortunately, Bruce passed away and his widow Mihi passed the animals (and perhaps land, not sure) on to "the lion man" Bruce wanted to give the ex circus animals a better retirement and as far as I am concerned Busch has done the exact opposite. Whilst I would love to experience being so close to those majestic animals I will NEVER set foot in Zion gardens on the sheer principle that busch is a wife and animal beating mongrel.

Echo wasn't very keen either lol he bit me a few times but didn't do much damage as I had him wrapped in a flannel with only his head sticking out. I actually think he started to enjoy it in the end, of course he was not admitting that

His middle tail feather is all grey, and yeah his cheek patch is really bright, is colour is still changing a bit though. I don't really mind if he is male or female. I have no intention of breeding from him. He does talk a bit already but he kind of whistle talks lol I think this is from us talking to him in high pitched baby voices lol

Yeah, he is all shiny and clean now lol Still not too impressed with me though :lol: every time I talk to him he either ignores me or makes his growling noise He is a handsome boy have had some one say he is a girl though

OMG! Are you double jointed? or is it just your thumbs?

Hi Carlos, is your farm near maungatapere by any chance? There is supposedly kookaburras out there, My dad saw/heard them when he was working out there. Can't remember the name of the road now but they have been there for years

He is a character, attention seeking little git lol He is our families reminder of the awesome day we had at living art wildlife park. Drove with him loose in the car most of the way from Tauranga to Whangarei :lol:

and..... I am NOT talking to you mum

Before I can't believe how awful he looks stopped for a little break apart way through cos he was getting VERY angry lol After

ummmm bubba plate? :lol:

lmfao Echo is looking much better now, photos uploading to photobucket as we speak. I still have all my fingers but he is NOT happy with me lol although not toooo angry lol cos he still gave me a kiss when i asked for one

ok, off to put a bit of warm water in the bottom of the bath lol and try our luck, should be interesting :lol:

:lol: :lol: :lol: I should really try and get a pic of him, he is such a mess Might try some before and after shots lol and will include pics of the stumps that use to be my fingers :lol: :lol:

*packs Echo in a box and posts him to P44's house* lol Might try it though, what is the worst that can happen lol cockatiel bites don't hurt that much :lol:

Lucky you! My boy is not one that likes to sit still for long lol so we try and keep it short and sweet or he just switches off :roll: Nearly home work time now lol wish me luck

LOL problem is he is only 5, imagine the battle I will have on my hands in 10 years time lol

ok birdy people, I attempted to make my own honey seed bell for my cockatiel, Echo :roll: BUT it was obviously too sticky and now he has a seriously dirty moosh, his beak, and feathers around it are sticky and manky lol and to make it worse I have been asked to take him to the local kindy next week. He loves having a "shower" with a spray bottle but he dosen't like to get right in water. Any ideas on how to clean him? or what I can use to get it off that won't make him sick? Thanks in advance

Not that well lol he cried and said it wasn't fair I distracted him with a cookie and cartoons :roll: Bet it will come up again when it is home work time :lol:

lol just got home from school and as he walked past the tank.... what do ya know, he noticed there was a fish missing :roll: Told him it was very sick and died, didn't think he needed to know that I killed it. Although he was there when my Mum had her old dog put to sleep so he does understand that when animals get sick sometimes it is kinder to put them out of their misery LOL I like this one too :lol:

LMAO too funny :lol: :lol: PMSL

I just can't do it when my son is around lol he never shows that much interest in the tank but he knows if some one is missing so I guess I have some explaining to do when he gets home, could just tell him the severum must of eaten it lol ....... joking

I must admit to finding the super bendy thumb a bit icky too lol :-? I feel so much better about all my fish tank stuff spread around the house after seeing all yours p44 :oops: :lol:

Agreed, which is why I put my big girl undies on and bashed the poor thing on the concrete outside

Thanks for all the help, I find it so hard to "hurt" my fish in the past I have got my partner to deal with it for me but he is at work and will not be home til late tonight so I will just have to suck it up , put my big girl undies on and do it After I have taken my son to school though cos he will be very upset too Will do a big water change this after that

oh So I need to put him out of his misery then? What is the quickest least cruel way to do this? Freezer? not sure I have any clove oil... Thanks for your help Alan
