And what is that dangling from his jaws?

It's a bell on his collar. It's not actually in his mouth.

 

Ah, I thought it might be a precursor to ornaments hanging from his mouth.

Silly of me.

 

Interesting article about what would happen to the world if cats suddenly went extinct:

I prefer to contemplate the scenario wherein cats secretly run the world.

 

I couldn't imagine that someone would image something like that.

Wow... I've never heard of negative squared imagination before...

 

There was a recent incident here two months in to winter where a Budgerigar was seen around here and had been adopted by a flock of sparrows, one of the few birds that hang around over winter, of course, everyone was determined to catch him, when successful they found he was speaking Sparrow.
The number of people claiming it was their's that had escaped showed the number that do escape and are not found.
Birds are the third favorite pet of Humans, it maybe points to the fact he maybe despite the cold he did not want to return to a life in a cage which is in a way a cruel way to treat an animal.
A recent Nova program outlined the potential cruelty of the craze in owning parrots which in the wild are a gregarious animal that mates for life, and keeping them in a cage for a possible life span of 100 years, with no chance of mating is a cause of self mutilation by many caged birds.
Programs such as the old TV series of Barreta caused a sudden need by many to own a Cockatoo, this resulted in widespread nest robbing of fledglings in order to keep up with the craze.
Max.

I saw that. It was heart-breaking.

You don't take a couple of horns to a Tiger fight!!
Max.

MOSCOW - A romance that enchanted Russia may be over: Timur the goat and Amur the tiger have had a fight and aren’t together anymore.
In November, the goat was placed in the tiger’s compound in a wildlife park near Vladivostok with the expectation that the big cat would eventually kill and eat him.
But the two not only tolerated each other, they appeared to become friends.

But Timur started pushing it, constantly annoying and butting the tiger.

“Finally, the tiger couldn’t hold back, grabbed the goat by the withers and tossed him,” park director Dmitry Mezentsev told state news agency Tass on Friday.

“We decided to put them in different enclosures for a while,” he said.

 

“Finally, the tiger couldn’t hold back, grabbed the goat by the withers and tossed him,”

That's exactly my feelings about what to do with a nasty, aggressive goat!

Take care if thinking of modifying a Parrots cage!!

After being accidentally locked out of my AAC account for many many moons, I am glad to confirm that the enclosed picture of a pet owner is NOT a self-portrait.

Isn't there an old saying? Something like - Why take the milk to market every day when you can sell the whole cow.
