My wife and I have been raising a love bird, a cocketiel, and 9 budgies for three years. We foster birds that owners can't take care of anymore or just don't want. We have fostered love birds, budgies, finches, cockatiels. We prefer the smaller birds because we can foster more of them at a time. I love to hike. I prefer the strenuos hikes but enjoy the easy hikes for conditioning. I have 20 years in the military reserves. I am an avid scuba diver. I have been diving since 2003. I enjoy white water rafting at least once a year. I prefer the class 1 to class 3 rapids when I go with my family. When I go with a group of trained personnel, I like the class 4 to 6 rapids. I am a software developer. I have been writing code since 1991. I am currently writing in COBOL and APS. I have written in JAVA, VB, C++, C#, and .Net. I spent most of my free time playing World of Warcraft. I have been playing it since the game was released.

  • What is the best Droid phone on the market right now?

    I am looking for the best droid cell phone on the market today.

    I am hoping to get one that can store apps to the memory card rather than the phone it's self.

    I'd also like as much internal memory as possible.

    It must work on the Verizon network.

  • DUI - Should they go to jail or...?

    Should we take the vehicle that people are caught driving under the influence and sell it?

    Sure, we arrest them, take them to booking, process them and release them.

    Then sell the car.

    That way, we, the taxpayer, don't have to foot the bill to house and feed people them for brekaing the law. AND we remove the DRIVING part of the offense.

    What are your thoughts? Am I out there in left field on this or could this idea have some merit?

  • Why are my lovebirds not breeding?

    One of my lovebirds I am sure is a female. I got her from a trusted breeder. The other lovebird I have always assumed was a male. He acts like one. While she made the nest, he sat outside and "protected" it. He never once took any nest materials inside the nest. He does sleep inside at night with her. Occasionally I catch him feeding her.

    Why won't they mate? They are the only two birds on the cage.

    Their wings are clipped. They have free range to roam on the cage all day long.

    They are located close to the kitchen. Could this be a problem.

    They are away from windows but can see if it is dark or light outside.

    Could room temp be an issue? She used to be outside and now I keep her inside.

    I'd like to see her produce a clutch and any help would be appreciated.

    they are both NOT peached face lovebirds. Other than that, I can't tell you exactly what they both are.

  • how do I replace a concrete patio?

    I have a concrete patio that has shifted and cracked in 3 different places. The concrete is about 3 to 4 inches thick. I want to replace it with stones.

    I am using an 8 lb sledge to crack the concrete apart. I know using a jack hammer would be faster but I need the therapy.

    My question is, what is the best thing to do to prepare the hole before putting down the new stone? I have no ideas here so most anything would help.

    Do you have any websites or recommend and specific books for this?

  • Did my budgie die of old age?

    My budgie, Tweety Bird, died tonight. I know silly name but the wife named him so it is. But he has been sleeping a lot more than usual the last few weeks. He eats fine. We hand feed him seeds and millet on a regular basis. Plus he eats his regular food. This morning he was sitting in the bottom of the cage sleeping. I thought he might be dying but this after noon he was perky and eating as usual. Then tonight he died. He is eight years old. He also just recently was separated from his birdie buddie, Oscar, a love bird. We got Oscar a mate. But they have been in the same cage until tonight. Any ideas out there?
