The ultimate saddo

[Benner]

Please guys I need some back up here.  Sue (the wife) is wanting to go to a bird whispering seminar next week and she cannot see that that is like the ultimate saddo's day out.  In fact, she reckon's that is still 'cooler' than the MTO meets that we have here where we play with sharps, guns, get drunk and talk rubbish all day.

Please feed beack so I can show her this thread just to shut her up.

How's that for Feedbaceak?

Well, as lame as it sounds, I have to say that I think you should go.  Learning how the animals you share your space with communicate can only help your understanding of them, and make it easier to live with them.  And, since the budgies aren't going anywhere, learning to co-exist isn't such a bad idea, n'est pas?

Are you suggesting some sort of mind meld with a budgie, Grant? That's bound to suckseed  

[Grant Lamontagne]

With budgies it may not be as big a deal as they sit in a cage and annoy you, but I see folks with all kinds of dogs, and have no idea how to deal with unacceptable behavior.  Their dog is trying to tell them something, and they just scream at it, rather than dealing with the root.  It's an unhealthy situation, and most birds are smarter than we give them credit for.  I'm not talking about a mind meld, but if you can figure out why the budgie is annoying the hell out of you, maybe you can deal with the problem rather than sit there thinking of ways to throttle the little bugger!

you could talk to the animals, chat with the animals, drink and play, oh i dont know the word   
benners new get up

[Benner]

It's a good job I am a mod and can just delete Grant's posts before the wife sees this thread ey. 

One good thing has come of the birds and that is that I was allowed a new air pistol to deal with them when they are dying.  Hate to do the act, but love to have the gun.

LOL Paul, I think you've got it about right

@ Grant. You do have a point with dogs of course, but budgies ... I think I'd just end up feeling cheep

How can anyone put "budgies" and "whispering" in the same sentence? Those bloody critters can become too loud whenever they feel like!

Unlike wives, birds make sense and can be understood....

I agree on "paper" it's a good idea to know and understand your pets, friends, animals as best as you can.
but it does sound a bit "emasculating" and not something most he-men/guys would care to do!

Does Sue attend your MT/Blade meets? Does she "try" to understand your passion for tools? if yes
maybe you owe her and should share her passions too, only fair.

If she doesn't then "one" person in the house who understands the furry dinosaurs seems quite enough!

[Pacu]

two words....avian flu

also birds carry rabies which is transferred by looking at them. I think i saw that on an episode of House or Ace Ventura Pet Detective. True story.

[Gareth]

If Sue can get them to be quite then I wouldn't knock it.


But there's now way anyone could convince me it's cool.  Sorry Sue, it just isn't.

The meets are the only time I get away from the wife.  She ain't allowed to come. 

[zepla]

Sure you want to let her read this after that remark? 

[Magnus]

tell her you will come if you can bring an air rifle and the barbecue 

[cerbera147]

Isn't bird whispering where you chat up a girl in the library?

Unlike birds, wives don't poop in your hair (normally).

Show her your full support, Ben...
It's the only right thing to do, no matter what you think of her doings..

Yet another one to be deleted. 

Mate I put up with the noisy, messy buggers in my house and "sort them" when they are ill.  I have been more than accomodating.

I find whispering to birds usually end's up with me getting a slap
