Own 3 dogs, 2 cats, 8 fish, 1 guinea pig, 1 rabbit, 8 cockatiels, 2 alexandrine parrots, 2 peach faced lovebirds, 23 budgies, 1 galah, 2 scarlets, 6 quails and 2 mice.. Before judging i'll add that all are in good health, get the attention they need and aren't neglected nor abused, the dogs get regular walks, the tame birds come out and get attention, fish are fed and all is well in the house of the Maes.. I'll answer your questions to the best of my ability and will be respectful.
How do I accept compliments?
When people give me compliments, I can't help but deny it.. no matter what it be for... I've been bullied alot so maybe that contributes.. I know I look/sound like an attention seeker, but I honestly do not think i'm pretty what so ever.. I'm the one who sees myself every morning after I wake up and every night before I sleep. Everyone just sees a face full of makeup.
4 AnswersWomen's Health9 years agoI'm falling for the wrong person?
This is pathetic, but i'm incapable of ignoring it. I'm a 14 year old girl, and I recently started talking to another 14 year old, who seems like a really nice guy.. we exchanged emails and are now friends on facebook.. he's a really nice guy, but he's too nice.. he says i'm special.. yet he likes another girl? this is the catch, he lives in a different country -_- we speak almost everyday.. so I don't think ignoring him is the way to go about this.. it's getting me really down because I see some of the things he posts on other girls walls and stuff. I just don't know what to do? point out if I missed something I should've added..
2 AnswersWomen's Health9 years agoWill one glass of soda wreck my diet?
I've decided to go on a diet.. i've been on many before but have never actually gone far. the lonest was about 3 weeks. I've been on a diet for about 3 days now, and today my sister and her friend bought home tim tams and bottles of soda. I didn't take a tim tam after they offered and felt so proud, but i'm really addicted to coke.. and now they're drinking soda infront of me. it's driving me crazy, so i'm wondering if it will do any damage? it's creaming soda just so everyone knows. i'm 14 btw.

Two questions in one, how do you pronounce it...

4 AnswersHorses9 years agoDon't know if my lovebird is sick, or if this is the natural process of egg laying?
My lovebird has been sitting on the bottom of the cage (by that I mean she's been walking around, eating and ripping up the newspaper) her friend who's related to her comes down every once in a while.. she made a circle shaped nest looking thing in one corner of the cage and is often sitting there with her tail pushed up against the cage walls.. this has been going on for 2 days now, tomorrow will be the 3rd... I had an egg bound budgie about a month and a half ago, and she looked a lot sicker than my lovebird.. she ended up dying because we didn't get to the vet in time :/
I think she may just be getting ready to lay.. btw, there is no nest box as they're related and i'm unsure of the others sex.
I'd take her to the vet, but I don't want to make a fool out of myself, nor will my mum take me with her there. (I'm 13.)
I provided cuttle bone and will give her more fresh water tomorrow.. i will continue to monitor her. i've never actually seen a bird lay an egg or get ready to so this is why i'm confused and don't understand exactly what's going on. thanks

2 AnswersBirds9 years agoWhere has the world gone...?
Where has the world gone, What is the world, What is society... Society is what you make of it.. and what people make of the world is nothing to be proud of....... all I ever hear/read is about the people who have it good, the people who get what they want when they want it.. Why is this so? Where did life go? Is this all that life is? You work so hard, earn the money you do and it's never enough.. and in the end.. we all die, and everything we ever did was for nothing..
Why do people bully? What enjoyment could one possibly get out of calling someone "fat" or "rat" or "ugly" no one is ugly, no one is perfect.. we're all the same.. living in this world.
People are alone, calling for help but no one sees or hears it because they're too caught up in the latest ipod or iphone and can't be bothered making a difference.. Why do people abuse animals? Why did dog fighting even start, what screwed up person decided to mess up a dogs life and eventually earn the breed dog a bad name.. every creature is itself.. the world is like.. it's nothing.. the world is nothing, and that's because we've made it that way... wish I was never born

7 AnswersCats9 years agohow do i make my bird happier?
My cockatoo doesn't seem happy.. he's got 2 toys in his cage right now.. he only likes coming out of his cage early in the morning.. 8-10am.. and i'm at school from 8:30-3:30pm.. so it's quiet a few hours for him to be alone which is probably making him feel unhappy.. i've already tried giving him toilet rolls, he didn't think much of them
4 AnswersBirds9 years agoFastest way to teach a dog to walk on a lead?
I'd like my 8 week old Chihuahua puppy to walk on a lead perfectly when it's older.. i'm just not exactly sure on how to teach it to.. She has a harness but it's a guinea pig harness and will not fit her as she starts to grow, so she'll be using a colar... she has them too but she likes to chew on them so I only put them on sometimes.. so? I know she can't go outside yet because she hasn't had all of her shots and I wouldn't risk anything happening to her. I'd also like to teach my other chi who's 5 years old now and never really learnt to walk on a lead, she just follows behind which can be annoying because it means we need to turn back every minute and pick her up at roads and such.. is that possible? if so how do I do it? sorry it's so long.
4 AnswersDogs9 years agoWhat Jobs Could I Do Involving Animals At The Age Of 13?
I'm 13 and absolutely L-O-V-E animals, I have a lot of pets myself but feel the need to help others around me with theirs.. I love the responsibility you need to own pets and care for them.. I've already done dog walking for the people in my suburb and I did it with my friends but unfortunately they weren't mature enough to carry on so I had to drop that as there were a bucket load of dogs we had scheduled to walk.. We only charged $5 a walk but I'd like to do something that will earn me a bit more $ as I need to start paying for bird/dog/cat toys/food/kitty litter and anything of that sort. I'd try helping out at the local shelter but i'm miles away from it, and you have to be of a certain age i'm sure.. I live in australia by the way, so some things may be different from where you're located.. I'd try dog washing but i'm not sure how i'd handle the dogs that feared water specially if they were of a larger breed.. so any ideas/advice or anything at all would be very much appreciated.. I look foward to hearing your ideas.

1 AnswerBirds9 years agoWhat to do with this cockatiel?
I had a pair of cockatiels sitting beside each other in their own cages.. only one of them can fly as its wings and tail have grown back nicely after being cut very very short.. the others tail and wings have barely even grown for 4-5 months and i'm a bit worried.. anyway, I just put the one that can fly into the aviary with 6 other cockatiels.. a lot more spacious and I think he'll be happier there.. the thing is that they were "bonded" or very close mates and sqawk for each other when one's out of sight.. I don't want to risk anything happening to him by being in the aviary so what do I? I feel for him.. and is there anyway at all I can get his wings to grow faster.
3 AnswersBirds9 years agoIs it normal that my cat waits outside the bathroom for me?
My female cat who's about 10 months old and VERY attached to me likes to wait outside the bathroom for me.. like when I shower etc.. even when i'm using the toilet.. as a matter of fact, she follows me around lots of places.. it's not annoying but a bit odd considering my other cat (male 1 1/2 years old desexed) doesn't do it.. as often.. sometimes I'll come out of the bathroom and they'll both be waiting for me, but that's when everyone else in my house is asleep.. she's a maine coon if that means anything.. Is it normal? She's a one person cat and doesn't get on with the rest of my family, and she only likes my other cat none of my other pets
5 AnswersCats9 years agowhy do so many people turn to euthanasia so much?
So many people on here answer questions including mine when it comes to my dogs that they should be put down or euthanazed only because they have a few "issues" that with time can surely be fixed.. if you loved animals so much or dogs you wouldn't tell someone to put theres down.. why not put up warning signs or let everyone know what the dogs behaviour is like... I know people that lie, insult and are violent but still have the privilege to be alive... animals have no choice, they're just killed.. Grr, I understand that some dogs have major issues and need to be delt with extremely delicately but they don't deserve to die.. wish I was old enough or rich enough to adopt the dogs that are to be killed or have problems.. I just don't get it.
