What do you call a minor bird accident?

5 Pigs Go For A Ride

A farmer had five female pigs. Times were hard, so he decided to take
them to the county fair and sell  them. At the fair, he met another farmer
who owned five male pigs.   After talking a bit, they decided to mate
the pigs and split everything 50/50.  The farmers lived sixty miles apart.
So they agreed to drive thirty miles  each, and find a field in which to
let the pigs mate.

The first morning,  the farmer with the female pigs got up at 5 a.m.,
loaded the pigs into the  family station wagon, which was the only
vehicle he had, and drove the thirty  miles.

While the pigs were mating, he asked the other farmer, "How will I
know if they are pregnant?"

The other farmer  replied, "If they're in the grass in the morning, they're
pregnant; if  they're in the mud, they're not."

The next morning the pigs were rolling  in the mud. So he hosed them
off, loaded them into the family station  wagon again and proceeded
to try again. This continued each morning for more than a week.

One morning the farmer was so tired, he couldn't get  out of bed. He
called to his wife, "Honey, please look outside and tell me  whether
the pigs are in the mud or in the grass."
 

"Neither," yelled  his wife, "they're in the station wagon and one of them
is honking the  horn."

Do You Know What a Pie Bird Is?

If you want to keep a bird, get rid of all your Teflon-coated
pots and pans. If Teflon is scorched, it gives off toxic fumes
that can kill birds.

If your bird starts to seem depressed, it's probably sick. If it
moves down to the bottom of its cage, it's probably too late to
save it.

Exotic birds generally need a good base diet of seeds and
pellets. However, they also need items from the four basic food
groups. In fact, they often like the same foods you eat, such as
pinto beans, cornbread, chicken and other common dishes.
 

Most birds have the ability to talk, but they need a lot of
practice before they learn how. It usually takes about two months
of repeating a word over and over before a bird learns it.
Keeping two birds in the same cage will reduce their tendency to
speak.

Pie Birds are "vents" placed in the middle of pies since
Victorian Times. They prevented the pie from boiling over and
also supported the pastry crust in the centre of the pie

Your Pet's On Parade

We Can All Learn a Lesson from Jake

I live in the north so it gets very cold, way below zero most of the
winter.  I noticed a small black dog being kept in a car parked on the
side of my house.  I found out who owned this dog and found out she was
moving in with her mother but couldn't let the dog inside.

Being an animal lover and rescuer, I couldn't let this poor thing live like
that.  I told her I would keep it in my house till she found an apartment
and could keep it herself.  Well she eventually took off without her dog,
so I had gained a new pet.  I didn't want this dog and tried everything I
could not to get attached.  I didn't want to get hurt again by loosing an
animal I loved.  I thought I had managed that pretty good, then someone
posioned him with Decon.  He went thru several weeks of terrible pain and
treatments, but managed to pull through.  But because of this, be got
diabetes, cancer and became blind.

Needless to say, my heart couldnt stop but loving him.  All he went thru
and he is the most happy and content dog I have ever come across.  He has
to have insulin shots twice a day and he takes them with a wagging tail and
never so much as a growl or cry.  He plays with my cats and his toys just
like any normal dog.  People cannot believe he is blind or sick.

I am in constant pain myself with arthritis and a bone disease and was
wallowing in self pity a lot.  But once I saw how he overcame all of this,
he got me to see how precious and enjoyable life can be, even with our
limitations.  I love him dearly and would never trade this time with him for
anything.  His zest for life has brought me back to life.  He is one in a
million!!!
