nah bring the haasts eagle back to life and let it have a go :lol: id pay to see that.

Animates Kaiwharwhara staff are rotated almost weekly around the various stocks, fish staff to the small mammal enclosures etc. Which isint exactly a smart idea when they have brand new staff working, they aren't in the same sales area long enough to gain proper skills and knowledge. don't know if this happens everywhere tho.

that darkfur is unfortunatly the reason we simply dont buy anything from hutt pets anymore, fish are fine one second, dead for literally no reason the next. id say ask Carevets or Animalz to bring them in for you.

dont forget the kowhai (spelling?) to attract the tuis and puriri and nikau to attract the kereru.

instead of wasting their time and money on making docos about how terrible 1080 is, maybe they could be useful and put their resources into find a more effective way of eradicating possums.

yea if he came out and did his job properly then you wouldn't have to scrub his wood.

ant can you please point out to me where in my previous posts i have said that 1080 doesn't kill birds? perhaps YOU should look at both sides of the story instead of just picking the one that TV told you to pick. I never said 1080 is the way to go, but like stella has said its the only viable solution right now. find me another way to kill off the possums without ANYTHING else being harmed, then start complaining about how terrible 1080 is.

yea but thats the thing, its not ALL farmers. a hand full yes, but ALL is like saying that ALL moari's agree that they deserve special seats in parliament, they dont ALL have the same opinions. doco's are really a waste of time, i can make a doco telling everyone how evil humans are, that they are simply a plague on this earth set to destroy every living thing. and that we should kill us all, some people may agree with me, but not everyone. im sorry but its very annoying when people moan and whinge about how bad DOC and MAF are, without thinking of the rest of the conservation they do. there are bound to be issues with any method they take to eradicate possums. a bunch of people crashing through the bush punctuated with the odd bang, blast and boom of their rifles may not kill many birds outright, but will certainly disrupt any kind of feeding, mating normal wild behaviour. then you've got the issue of the trampling of young saplings and the general disruption of all fauna and flora.

considering their lively hoods go down the drain if their herd is found to have TB (ie: must cull infected cattle, severe restrictions on stock movement) supporting the 1080 drops, (when they are carried out properly) for them is really a no brainer. they can probably thank the young jobless people shooting at anything that moves, and dumping their unwanted cats out in farmland for the diminishing morning chorus. i dont see any sane farmer agreeing to let a bunch of immature, reckless youngsters roam around their farms, with guns, shooting at things, because i can guarantee you that it wont just be the possums that get shot at. and as for the $60k, yea right! thats a better pay than most of the flamming farmers get!!! thats a damn good wage anywhere you go.

give them live foods like micro worms, brine shrimp and daphnia.

? would you want to re-home them? isint them growing just a really good excuse to get a bigger tank?

its a Pantadon Butterfly fish isint it?

where is your fish tank NTFW? is it situated in the launge, bedroom, kitchen etc?

hi-five to you Grant! with Caryl keeping you in line im in no doubt you'll do an awesome job

You do need to remember that if you did not pay that much tax then people would not be able to get student loans. This would mean that Hannah would not be earning as much as she would not have a degree/high paying job and you also would not need to worry about the loan payments because you would not be earning enough to qualify for a loan. I hate it when people take advantage of the benefits from tax payers then when they don't need the hand out any more they moan about the fact then have to pay as much tax. I am saying this as a high earner that pays a lot of tax and still give to charity because they need all the help they can get. If we got rid if student loans and put all that cash to the ones that need it most I might not give anything. I think this is where I should point out that they are not government sponsored as they should be so if you might be a bit behind in you 33% donations from your income there David I suggest setting up an automatic payment today and don't forget to back date the amount owing

I thought the meeting was at 1 o'clock Pheonix?

yea paul, you know you want to 8)

and now i have him, and he has just spawned with one of my delta girls

how would you get a cardinal to stay still (with out it being dead) long enough to do that? sounds like it has actually become part of the fish tho, you would prolly rip and expose the fishes internal organs either while trying to remove the parasite, or by the parasite no longer being there to hold the host body together.

ours (hes only about as long as my middle finger) lives happily with platys, prisella tetras, clown loaches and siamese fighters. oh and red spot (pleco) who he spends most of his time with, if he invades red spots personal space too much he just gets slapped in the face with a huge tail.

moose? must be a very large Wok.

if rox is driving down in their 4 door car then that would be better than trying to fit it in our little 2 door. dont worry Pheonix no one has forgotten you, nobody can forget that hair

just about to say that Lyndy. we have used Furan in the past with beach ball shaped girls but with little success, never hurts to try tho does it.

dimensions?
