Pet Forum / Birds / Parrots / October 2004

Take everything said with a pinch of salt. Generally we aren't a bad lot. I
am very blunt and often rude, but really, I have a lot of experience and a
deep love of animals and crass stupidity which might cause an animal
distress or injury upsets me. That's generally when I 'go off on one'.
Welcome.

No need to be scared here, come in and join the fun.

Hello... no need to be scared... so welcome and ask whatever you want
to know about your little birdie buddy... we have a lot of
knowledgeable people here :-)

You don't need to buy newsgropes.  Your ISP should provide them for you...

You got a new newsgroup? or do you just have an inability to use the English
language to say what you mean?

I'm THE a.shole.

About the best advice I think that anyone can give you is this:

This is an unmoderated usenet newsgroup, so take any advice you get with a
grain of salt.  With some of the more "colorerful" posters that would be a
very LARGE grain of salt.

Welcome to our little paradise.

Welcome.

OK <brief generalisation>

Myself, LadyTech, Jennifer Kulp and Rayzor are generally quite friendly
(although rude to trolls, and PiG)

ex WGS Hamm (formerly OldMolly (OM), aka Pam) is a rude old bitch at times,
but if you had to pick sides, she'd be on ours. She knows loads about Tiels,
and her advice is good. She can also be quite funny. Try not to get offended
by her at first, and you'll see that she's not that bad.

PiG (or Piezzo Guru) is a troll, but one that we feed because it's so damn
funny. Harmless, but don't listen to a word of Tiel advice she gives you
(unless you research it first). She is the one who puts Tiels on ceiling
fans at high speed for "fun". Still, fun to read her posts. A troll, but a
funny one.

DC (Digital Cowboy). Don't know much about him, but he also doesn't talk
Tiels much. Seems like a nice enough guy, just a tad boring. Still, nothing
to be intimitaded by or annoyed at.

Citizen_Cain - can be quite the arsehole when he chooses (still got me on
Plonk, Cain?).
He's a plonker (one who "plonks", or killfiles - not the other kind) and a
damn good one. He'll plonk yer soon as look at yer.

And the infamous troll. The bane of this NG, the arsehole c&&t that keeps
changing his name. Conspicuous by his name changes. Calls himself mister
Jynx. T.K, steve, james, Jim....whatever. He changes his names daily and
he's nothing more than a nasty little c**t.  Don't pay any attention to him,
you'll get used to his perpetual attempts to offend somebody. It's like
watching a dog cock it's leg around the house. He's a loser and everyone
knows it. He'll figure it out himself one day too.

That's pretty much the regualrs here (I'm sure there are other lurkers too).

Anyway, it gets rough in here sometimes (especially when PiG demostrates her
bondage equipment). But stick around. Im not promising you'll learn anything
about Tiels, but you'll get a laugh. And if you need to know something, ask,
and there will be somebody who will give you some sensible answers.

Have fun! :-)
