i have had my budgie for 8 months and it still would not get on my finger
I NEEEEEEEEEEEED ADVICE

what color is its beak? If its a very light color than it should still be easy to train… the darker the older. If you have had for eight months than you should have tried to hold it several times by now. first stick your hand in at regular intervals and than when the bird gets used to your hand being there and doesn’t panic, than step it up by putting your hand closer and closer, until it is so used to your hand it doesn’t get scared any more and then gen tally put your finger to its legs and it should step right on!

i just got a betta (peach) and i dont know anything about PH thing. please help?
ok i need to know these:
*how to find out how much PH is in my tank…what tool? where to buy it?
*how to lower & up PH…where to get these items
*what does too much or too less PH do?

Bettas prefer more of a neutral, maybe slightly soft pH value, so you’re looking at 7 - 6.8. I’ve never tested my betta’s water, and I’ve never had a problem - if you’re using tap water, you can be fairly sure it’s fine. However, if you’re using well water or something or you’re concerned about the level in your water, you can buy pH test kits at any pet store. Get the drops if you can - strips can be innacurate. If you’re water is slightly hard, you can soften it by adding some Black Water Extract - it adds tannins and trace elements to the water that help mimic the betta’s natural environment. Once I started adding it to my guy’s water, their colors brightened, they seemed more active…of course it could just be in my mind You may be able to find it at your local pet store - the brand I use calls it Black Water Expert instead of Extract.
IF your pH is too low…there are chemicals you can use to increase the pH of the water (you can get them at the pet store - it’s called pH Up I believe) but I wouldn’t add too much if you decided to use it. Bettas are pretty hardy little guys and can do well in a range of pH levels. Unless your pH ends up being 5 or 9 I wouldn’t be terribly concerned

Go to your favorite pet store or a local Walmart and get a pH kit. While you’re there pick up the additives that will allow you to adjust the pH.

PH is the acidity level of the water. 7.0 is neutral, and Betta Splendoras like their water about 6.8. Keep clean water in the tank and plenty of light and your betta will be OK.

They can, especially when they are still chicks that have started flying. They cannot fly far when they are full grown because they are then much too heavy. Domesticated chickens are forced to eat feed loaded with proteins, grains and along with many other artificial supplements meant to alleviate or prevent diseases; stuff to fatten them fast for faster growth and faster slaughter.

Wild chickens without clipped wings can fly much greater and higher distances. Free range chickens get more exercise and need to have their wings clipped to prevent them from flying more than a few feet.

He jumps on me or whoever any chance he gets. he is extremely friendly and gets overly excited when he see’s me or a visitor. I can walk away for 1 minute and when i returnn he acts like i’ve been gone for days.

Well, years ago a trainer suggested a knee in the chest for my American Eskimo, but this didn’t phase her one bit. So I don’t really feel this method is very effective in very hyper dogs really… and that seems to be your case.

Our current trainer told us to immediately say “off” in a firm voice and turn our backs on the puppy until she is down on all 4’s, at which time, we immediately turn around, praise her and say “Good off” in a pleasant tone.

Kneeing a dog down, or yelling at them no, without doing anything else is still a form of attention, even if it’s negative. The idea here is to “remove” the reward for jumping up, which is to turn your back and ignore the dog until he does as you want.

The hard part is getting family and friends to help you on this. More than once I have had someone say to me, “oh, it’s okay, she’s just excited”. Okay, sure, that person doesn’t mind, but what about someone who does. I have had to persistently remind family and friends how to handle the jumping up situation to help us discourage it all together. If you allow it sometimes, it sends mixed signals and confuses the dog as to what you want of them. It’s VERY IMPORTANT that you ALWAYS address the jumping behavior each and every time.

This has worked well with our Border Collie puppy and tho it does take time to accomplish (so be patient and persistent) it will work. Putting your dog in a sit is a very good thing too and is something you can impliment once you have the jumping more under control.

Edit: Also, never step backwards to get your dog down on all 4’s as you are “allowing” him to have your space and as an alpha pack leader, you shouldn’t allow this.

things to try:
*ignore him when you first come in.
*when you come in and you see him, tell him to sit, if he tries to jump on you, turn your back and tell him to sit, and when he is sitting, lean down and pet him, praise him. if he tries to jump again turn back around
*have him with a small leash in the house. hold him on the leash when someone else comes in, tell him to sit, and then have the person come over for him to meet…
*practice sit and stay with him
*have him sit everytime you go somewhere and he is meeting new people (tell them you are training him and you want him to sit before they pet him) places like petsmart, vet, a walk, are all good places to practice.

1.      shave it.

2.      I know this isn’t a fish, but you should consider getting African mini-frogs. They are fun to watch and play well with other fish.

3.      Maybe 3 or 4 African cichlids. 20 is too small for Dempseys and large cichlids.

4.      Damzels

5.      female betta are nice, you can find them in pretty colors if you look hard, and lots of little guys like neons and tetras are pretty easy

6.      I don’t know much about fish. But one thing I do know is get fish that can mix together. They say three of the same.

7.      The cute little mini sharks.

8.      cichlids are mean dont get them!!!! i have some danio’s platty’s those are the ones i have had the best luck with. but make sure to get a succker fish or and algi eater also… snails aren’t that great.

1. No I don’t and you wouldn’t either if you gave them a chance.
2. OMG yes! and cat ppl get insulted when i get scared of their cats

   as to why? i dunno something in the eyes, the way they strut…the whole superstition thing about them…..both my siblings claim they saw a black cat in their room when they awoke in the mid of the night and everything in the house was locked…both were on different occasions

3. I definitely find cats creepy. I couldn’t tell you exactly why, but I think it is because they remind me of evil magic( you know black cats and witches).
4. I love cats! Had cats all my life! Never had a dog. Cats are so cool!
5. I find them intriguing! You never know what is going on in that head. And their eyes are just stunning! It is kinda creepy when they jump up and do the crazy cat run without any provocation, but hell, it’s really entertaining after the initial startle.
6. No I like cats but some can look scary if they have no ears or something or those hairless cats, those are creepy.
7. shave it.
8. No not at all….but I know someone who is…..lol

1. He is marking his territory. Or take him to the vet just to make sure. But I’m pretty sure he is just marking his territory
2. Well it COULD be just an aging cat thing, however urinary problems are common with male cats. He could have a bladder infection, or worse- kidney or bladder stones. I lost a male cat to bladder stones. Peeing around the house was the first sign of any problem, and by then it was too late. Some other health problems like diabetes and tumors can cause this too. If I were you, I’d take him to the vet right away and make sure he’s alright.
3. some one has come inside your house with another cat scent on their shoes, cats have a good nose, so your cat smells it and trys to out spray it with it’s pee!!Try cleaning some areas with citiral oil.
4. I won’t waste time with a lengthy answer, but.. this site here:
   http://www.hdw-inc.com/litterbox.htm
   Has plenty of information on your problem, just scroll down a little to “URINE MARKING AND SPRAYING” and read up on that.
5. Inappropriate elimination is often a symptom of urinary tract infection. The cat begins to associate the pain he experiences while peeing with the litter box, so goes elsewhere. He might also be trying to get your attention.

   So your first step is to have the cat evaluated by a veterinarian. If you notice he is straining a lot but not producing much (may seem constipated), then it is urgent enough to find an emergency vet after hours. Male cats sometimes get blocked up, and then it is only a matter of hours before it is too late. If he is not completely blocked up, then it can wait until morning - but make sure to get him in to see the vet tomorrow.

   Here is a link to a good article on how to solve litter box problems, in case it’s not a medical issue http://www.hsus.org/pets/pet_care/our_pe…

6. He is marking his territory.
7. is he spraying or urinating?

   the first thing that comes to my mind, especially with an older cat is kidney issues or diabetes. it could also be a urinary tract infection. if this is a new thing for him to do, a trip to the vets is a good idea. if its not a medical issue they can advise you on what to do for behavior problems.

   how are is appetite and water intake?

If you want to study law, you should major in English Literature and learn how to interpret literature works because you’ll do a lot of interpretation in litigation and testimonies. Studying law involves a lot of reading and it’s hard work. This is what some real lawyers told me including some Air Force and Marine Lawyers who were Officer Selection Officers at my college. So English literature is the one you should be majoring on nothing else except maybe for those who are engineer and science majors that are in those majors to be patent lawyers or environmental lawyers.
I’m not going to tell you how to get into the Academy because I never went there, other people in this thread who’ve “been there and done that” said it best. But I do know that it is very, very, very hard to get into there. You have to be like a valedictorian in your high school, score very high in the SATs, and played sports throughout high school. If you’re an enlisted servicemen, you have to be an outstanding NCO leader among your enlisted peers and score very high on the ASVAB. Not just any average Joe Shmuckatelli off the street can get in. My cousin is an enlisted Marine and is trying to get into the Naval Academy via NAPS (Naval Academy Preparatory School)
As for being a pilot, that’s not really true that you have to be an engineer to become pilot. I know the Air Force and NASA prefers pilot candidates to be engineers and science majors. But I’ve seen some Navy and Marine Corps pilots who were not engineers but liberal arts and business majors. There are high school dropouts in California, Washington State, and Alaska who are civilian bush pilots (the people who put out wildfires). You don’t need a science degree to fly a plane, maybe knowledge of basic physics and meteorology. They’ll teach you everything you need to know in civilian flight school or military flight school. Check out these websites for becoming a military pilot:

Put the newcomer in a room with the door closed. This way, both of the cats can get to know each other because what they’ll do is play footies with each other underneath the door. They can get used to each other’s scent this way. Or put the new kitty in a cat carrier and let them go nose to nose that way. Only when you’re sure they’ll get along is when you can leave them alone together. Otherwise, the older cat could attack the kitten. The older cat is the one who should have the run of the house since it’s his “territory”. He feels threatened right now because another cat is invading his territory. More than likely, they will eventually get along, it just takes time. This is the way I did it with my cats and it took a few days of having to keep the new cat in a room by herself but it did work.
