Pet Forum / Birds / Parrots / March 2005bitching
Why is it when I come on here to read some information about Cockatiels. Every thread I come across there is an argument, totally unrelated to the thread! If someone says something stupid, just ignore it and carry on in the topic, don't bother starting an argument in the thread. I have to trail through so many arguments to find a post on topic, related to the original thread! Grow up everyone, please! > Why is it when I come on here to read some information about Cockatiels. > Every thread I come across there is an argument, totally unrelated to the [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > thread! > Grow up everyone, please!

Peace I agree that it is quite entertaining.... I guess I need the laugh every now and then :-) > I agree that it is quite entertaining.... I guess I need the laugh > every now and then :-) You want a laugh? Here ya go. I have a little collie cross dog named 'Timothy' who came in a litter at 2 weeks old which I fostered for a friend. Timmys bum fell out (rectal prolapse) which I fixed, he was the runt and I worked hard at helping him to live, then he got demodectic mange. He is healthy now but failry submissive. He loves me. If I call him to me and ask him to sit for a petting, he sits like a good boy. If I then stand in front of him and bend down to fuss him, he gets so excited he makes pipi. Trouble is, as he is sitting, his 'winky' is pointing right at my feet. Each time I pet him, I end up with warm wet toes :0( I daren't ask him to lay down for a fuss as his 'winky' will be pointing straight up. I have to say that I have the softest cleanest toes around with all the washing I have to do after I pet 'Timfey' :0)) > > I agree that it is quite entertaining....

Whenever we would come home she would run circles around us then lay down and want her belly rubbed. If she were outside in her dog house and if there were a storm coming she would peek her head out of the dog house and bark at us. Once the storm was closer thats all the warnings she would give us. She hated storms. These were just a few of the goofy things she used to do. She died of old age in December 2001, she was 15 years old. I don't want another dog right now because I got too attached to her, but maybe someday we will think about another.

Welcome to the sad, strange world that is alt.pets.parrots.cockatiels. I'm afraid quite a few people on here are bereft of the social skills and manners found elsewhere, even on usenet, so you have two choices. 1. Go elsewhere for your Cockatiel information. 2. Stay around and enjoy parrot-owning misfits of the world insulting each other (which can actually be quite amusing)! :-) > Why is it when I come on here to read some information about Cockatiels. > Every thread I come across there is an argument, totally unrelated to the [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > thread! > Grow up everyone, please! F. O. A. D. But that is just my opinion. Which I can express any way, place, or time i feel like it. Just like you pissed out an opinion to start this thread.

I was thinking this was a place for friendly cockatiel owners to get together and share their cockatiel experience in a friendly manner. No one at all seems friendly here!! It was wrong posting a new thread to complain, but I was just trying to offer some peace and maybe let people see that it was just turning into a bitching board and is putting off new posters for coming here. I maybe thought someone would at least say 'I know what you mean' but I was wrong, you all seem to stick together like glue and are a tight knit family of bastards.

Actually no - you want St. Joan's home for sensitive bird owners... It's on yahoo-groups (called cockatiel breeders?). She'll give you a cup of tea and a bikky then you can join their circle and sing kumbaya. Don't expect to learn any useful information there though. >No one at all seems friendly here!! That's not true at all - you just have to get to know us. For example when I first came here, I thought Old Molly was a nasty, evil old bitch (sorry Pam, but you do do a good job of sending out that impression). But once you get to know her you will realise that under it all, she has a heart of gold and a true animal lover and if I needed to know something, I would rather be told off by OM, knowing that I was getting told what I needed to hear, than made to feel good and warm and fuzzy, whilst receiving no useful information to help my bird. > It was wrong posting a new thread to complain Yes, it was very hypocritical of you.

Oh you're a teacher? Well if you disagree with telling somebody off when they do something wrong, then how on earth do you discipline children? > Oh you're a teacher? > Well if you disagree with telling somebody off when they do something wrong, > then how on earth do you discipline children? That's funny! discipline children. Nobody disciplines children anymore. They just think they do. SignatureJames Hello Mark, >a true animal lover and if I needed to know something, I would rather be >told off by OM, knowing that I was getting told what I needed to hear, than >made to feel good and warm and fuzzy, whilst receiving no useful information >to help my bird. I have been reading this group for several months and would like to know what useful info you have seen in here? I don't think I've seen a lot that would be considered useful. OM's standard reply is..."moron, what would you do if it was a sick child, get it to an avian vet now moron". I think that is not only useless info but also dangerous advice. Avian vets don't want people rushing in unannounced with sick birds, many bird diseases are highly contagious and they may have several healthy birds in there for check ups or nail trimming. And telling someone off who is asking for advice just makes them (and others reading the group) less likely to seek help in the future and is therefore putting birds at risk (IMHO). The rest of the traffic in here just appears to be flame wars between the regulars or unintelligible waffle eg. the person who puts a quote mark in front of his/her reply making it hard to distinguish the reply from what he/she is replying to. My news server sucks (thank you primus) and only seems to pick up about 75% or so of the traffic in here so I am willing to stand corrected. John You could sit or lay down corrected but, you are absolutely correct on almost, if not all, of what you seaid. > Hello Mark, > [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > > John > I have been reading this group for several months and would like to > know what useful info you have seen in here? Plenty if you open your eyes. I know there is alot of garbage and pointless BS - but it's usenet. If you ignore the threads like THIS ONE, and read the sensible posts, you usually find there are plenty of sensible answers. Unfortunatley, there is a troll or two in here and he/she/they have managed to bring the group down to alot of pointless rubbish, but there are also the hypocrites in here who start threads like this one, full of pointless rubbish about people posting pointless rubbish. Go figure :-P Anyway if you can't deal with it, you know what to do.... Hello Mark, >I know there is alot of garbage and pointless BS - but it's usenet. >If you ignore the threads like THIS ONE, and read the sensible posts, you [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > >Anyway if you can't deal with it, you know what to do.... You're right, usenet is what it is and I can deal with it just fine. I like a good flame as much as anyone but I can't understand abusing or belittling someone who is asking for advice. I love birds and hate to see them mistreated and a lot of cases of mistreatment is ignorance. So if someone comes asking for advice that might just make a bird happier and healthier why chase them away? John Get it through your head here. If you are not born a bird expert (like some here) you are garbage and deserve everything you get. so there! and nahh,nahh, nahhhhh, nah,nah,nahhhhhhhh ! > Hello Mark, > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > > John > I love birds and hate to see them mistreated and a lot of cases of > mistreatment is ignorance. So if someone comes asking for advice that > might just make a bird happier and healthier why chase them away? Nobody is chasing anyone away. But you have to admit, there have been some really stupid questions here. Such questions need to be dealt with bluntly. Stick around a bit longer and you'll see what I'm talking about. I understand your point of view completely - beleive me. I used to think some of the responses to questions where quite rude and nasty - but after being here for awhile now and seeing some of the negligent and just plain stupid and ignorant postings that have come up, I understand why the people who are passionate about their birds react the way they do to people who have no idea how to care for their pets. It really frustrates you sometimes. I'm sorry if I offended you at any stage John, I know there are some complete A-holes here. Hopefully you don't think I am one of them. - Mark > > I love birds and hate to see them mistreated and a lot of cases of > > mistreatment is ignorance.

SignatureJames You meant "their". > I'm waiting for the "there's no such thing as a stupid question" committee > to chime in and start defending there stupidity. Hello Mark, >Nobody is chasing anyone away. But you have to admit, there have been some >really stupid questions here. Such questions need to be dealt with bluntly. I couldn't disagree more. Unless it's a ridiculous post from a troll no question is stupid. The basic questions are probably the most important. If someone is abused for asking a question that appears obvious to experienced bird keepers they are unlikely to ask for advice again which may well endanger a bird. My neighbour has a cockatiel and when I 1st moved here it was kept in a very small cage and fed exclusively on sunflower seed. I got to know them, lent them a larger cage, explained why a diet of sunflower seeds will kill him, showed them which grass seeds were safe to give him, showed them how to handle him, showed them how much he enjoyed a shower etc. He's now on a nutritious diet, kept in a decent sized cage and gets plenty of out of cage time. If I had of gone over there calling them morons and abusing them they would have turfed me out and the bird would still be living in misery. They are decent people and were not being deliberately cruel, they just didn't know. The real criminals are the breeders and pet shops who sell birds to people who lack the knowledge to care for them properly. >I'm sorry if I offended you at any stage John, I know there are some >complete A-holes here. Hopefully you don't think I am one of them. Not at all, I was just curious about your statement regarding all the helpful info in here. There's really only one person in here that annoys me and it isn't you. What's bigpond like at picking up the newsgroups? My ISP is basically just a re-seller for primus and their news server sucks. It only seems to pick up between 50 and 75% of the messages in most of the newsgroups I read which makes it difficult to participate. As soon as the contract is up I'm moving. John > I couldn't disagree more. Unless it's a ridiculous post from a troll > no question is stupid. That's the real trick - knowing when somebody is trolling. I've been caught a couple of times :-) >If I had of gone over there > calling them morons and abusing them they would have turfed me out and > the bird would still be living in misery. They are decent people and > were not being deliberately cruel, they just didn't know. I know. And I don't endorse some of the childish name-calling and ridicule that goes on here (Some of it I do, if it is directed towards some people that shall remain nameless <evil grin> ). But you have to remember that its usenet and its going to happen. You'll get used to it after awhile and you'll be able to sift through the rubbish and still get on topic stuff. Pics of people's birds, advice on breeding etc. It still gets posted. Some of the threads below have been fine... >The real > criminals are the breeders and pet shops who sell birds to people who > lack the knowledge to care for them properly. Yeah I know what you mean. Some are just plain negligent - expecially some of the pet shops. > What's bigpond like at picking up the newsgroups?

I wouldn't recommend Bigpond at all unfortunately. They continually have problems and if I wasn't locked into a contract I wouldn't be with them. I was thinking of switching to Optus...but I don't know - maybe I'm just hard to please, and maybe the others aren't any better.

That's what vets are for. Quarantine the sick bird to try and stop the disease spreading and stop it being picked on. Provide warmth, 27- 33 celcius. Having a hospital cage is a good idea that way the 1st 2 tasks can be accomplished in a few minutes. Ring the veterinarian clinic, describe the problem then follow the advice of the vet or the staff. Not much point rushing off to the clinic without calling 1st, the vet may not be there or if they suspect a contagious disease they may want to clear the clinic 1st or they may prefer to visit you. John There are 2 vets where I live, 1 is a general (cat and dog) vet, the other an avian vet. Both practises work on a turn up and treat basis, no appointments. . > Hello Molly, > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > John > Ring the veterinarian clinic, describe the problem then follow the > advice of the vet or the staff.

I agree with John there - rushing off to the vet's at the first sign of anything wrong is not neccesarily the best course of action.

Ray, WHAT in that posting is/was offensive??? It looks more like a plea for people not to engage in the fighting/bickering/insulting/etc. that almost always results when someone honesty tries to ask a question, or to give advice. One the side you end up with people "chidding" the poster for asking "stupid" questions and "wasting peoples time" with stupid/dumb question. Then you get other people "attacking" the ones who attacked the poster saying things like "there's no such thing as a dumb question." Then it degenerates into name calling, insults, etc., etc., etc., etc. . .

This group is a complete wreck because of basically one nasty old bitch, troll that ruins every noobie's first visit. She is emotionally and verbally backed by the group of hyena / jackasses that also exist here. This doesn't work in any NG. The only solution here is to make sure noobies don't get involved here with cockatiels right away so they don't get a false sense of security. Insult them promptly and do your part of the job. Why let your ideals fall down now? Are you getting soft or just in the head? Now SUFO with your crazy cockatiel group ideas, idiot! > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 [quoted text clipped - 32 lines] > =Gs3R > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- >> Why are you posting such an offensive message?

What I saw was what I took to be a plea from people to try and be polite to one another, and not resort to the typical name calling, bickering, fighting, etc., etc., etc. And sadly you're post here is an example of the name calling, bickering, fighting, that goes on here. Why, do you feel the need to assume that I am "protecting" the oringal poster or "attack" me for agreeing that we need to put an end to the fighting? > And sadly you're post here is an example of the name calling, bickering, > fighting, that goes on here. Why, do you feel the need to assume that I > am "protecting" the oringal poster or "attack" me for agreeing that we > need to put an end to the fighting? Why is there a need to end the bickering and fighting? The biggest choice anyone has is to read or not to read the messages here. Some people don't have the brains to ignore posts, they read every message then bitch about them. When you agree with someone complaining about off topic posts you add to that thread which makes you just as bad as the original poster. Well said Ray. Nicely done. > > And sadly you're post here is an example of the name calling, bickering, > > fighting, that goes on here.

We have to find something to pick at or we couldn't fight now, could we? Wanna' fight about it? Please?
