Q: Are there any sleep drugs for birds? (NOT to kill them!)?
My cockatiel is very nervous around humans. she is always in her cage. if i try to get close to her, she will try to bite. I need to cut her nails because they are too long. the only way i see myself doing that is if she is asleep. So, my question is are there any drugs for birds to make them fall asleep? NOT to kill them!

A: Search youtube for videos on nail clipping and they will show you how to properly hold the bird so she can't bite you and how to cover her wit ha towel. My bird is a biter too but if you hold their head they can't bite you. It takes some practice

Q: What Medicines/drugs from Medical Store can be use for Birds?
Actually we do not have any vet in our area, even far away. So I want to know what human medicines can be use in birds treatment. Also what things can be added in my First Aid Kit, I want to make one. I have so many Finches, 1 Pheasant, 1 Duck and now buying Parrots, Canaries and other birds.

Also appreciate if any I can make home remedies / home made medicines.

A: Dear friend. I was very sorry to here of your loss. I see that
phoenix had some very good information for you. Prevention
is the best cure of all. One must keep there cages very
clean and free of 'live things' at all times. Overcrowding is
often a major factor in aviary health. Sun light is a very good
disinfectant when the temperature permits. The turpentine
and the iodine that I told you about is always good to have
on hand for the things I told you about the other time. You
'can get a box of 'pickling lime'. You would find it in a store
that sales jars and tops and thing for canning things. Put
the 'pickling lime' in a pan. Place the pan in the cage so
the birds can dust themselves. The line is good to keep
'lice' off of the birds. You can tell if they have 'lice' by looking
under there wings close to the skin. Or if you see them
scratching there head with a foot like a dog they may have
lice. The lice (insects) can also be controlled by using
ceder wood shavings to litter there cages. I no longer have
chickens as I am retired from full time work. Thank you very
much for your email. I live in a small town with no pet store
around. All farming where I live. I wish you the very best
of luck with the birds as well as big profits. A friend.

Q: Thin Lizzy fans, who can tell me about Phils life and death?
Hello yahoo people, im not that old and ive just discovered thin lizzy and the boys and im interested in phil lynott, was he, as ive heard a typical heavy metal geezer, drugs, drink, birds etc and did the drugs kill him in the end and who was Leslie Crowther, some sort of funny bloke was he? Cheers for ya help.

A: Crowthers daughter married or certainly was an item with Phil when he died.
Crowther used to host Crackerjack and went on to do lots of tv stuff including The price is right. Phils mother was hit hard by his death and the last doc i saw on tv she still visited his grave regularly.

Just sent you a link to your email...

Q: Does bird man still sell drugs even though hes a multi millionaire?
Or does he at least drop drugs on his blocks for people to sell and he gets profit or he gets all his money legally
Just curious I Want to write a school report on famous rappers who talk about selling drugs if its a front or reality not that its anything to be proud of

A: He more than likely does although I'm sure he doesn't need the extra money.

Q: Drugs for swine/bird flu?
I remember a couple of years ago when the bird flu scare was at its height that large quantities of anti-viral drugs were manufactured and distributed, but so far not needed. Can this drug also be used against swine flu?

A: That's what they claim. After all it's just another flu virus, I can't see why people are so panicked by it. Normal flu treatment should suffice.
Don't worry about it. Most of what you see is just of the usual Media rubbish they stout out.

Q: Immunosuppressants and birds?
A family friend is coming to spend the week at my house and she just got a kidney transplant 6 months ago and is on immunosuppressants. People on these drugs are told not to have birds as pets because of the diseases they carry. I have 4 birds including a duck in the part of the house she is staying in and they have all been tested for diseases and have come up clean. I can't move the birds into the other part of the house because they fight with the birds over there. I've disinfected all the cages and everything including mopped with disinfectant. What more can I do to keep my friend from getting sick?
Don't worry, I used bird-safe cleaning products.
I'm going to try to keep the birds out of the same room as my friend and she wont be handling the birds at all. Do you think the dander will travel farther than 3 rooms? because that's as far as I can get the birds away from her.

A: First of all, moping the house in disenfectant was harmful for the birds. No cleaning products around birds--use Apple Cider Vinegar---kills all germs and bacteria.
If your birds have been tested and are disease free then she should have nothing to worry about. And if she has been on the immunosuppressants for 6 months she should be fine. Most people should worry about giving things such as colds and flus to the the birds and doing more harm to them. Just keep the cages extra clean (with ACV and water), keep the poopy papers to a minimum and enjoy your visit with your friend.

Q: Do parents still have the "birds and the bees" convo?
My mom told me she took me to a library when I was little to explain things as I asked them but I don't remember. Everything I learned was for personal investigation and trial and error.
I think it has to be one on the most uncomfortable thinks to take to you kid about, even more than drugs.

A: My kids are 5, 6, and 8, so we havent had the actual "birds and the bees" talk yet, however, I have starting talking with my son about some things, mainly things that I over hear him talking about from things he's heard at school, or when he asks me about it. I have made it very clear to my kids that they can always come to me with questions about anything, and no matter what the subject matter is, I will tell them the truth. Now true, I do give them answers in an age appropriate way, but they get the truth nonetheless. Example - my son said someone on his bus called someone else a "douchebag" and asked me what a douche is. I told him it is something that ladies sometimes use to clean out their privates. That answer was fine for him, and he didn't ask anything else about it. I think the most important thing about that is just making sure kids know that they can come to you - I DO NOT think trial and error is a good way for kids to learn, and no matter how uncomfortable I may be about it, I always want my kids to have correct information.

Q: Keeping cats away?
I am not a huge cat lover, our neighbors keep outdoor cats becuase there is not a ordience for cats in the city that I live in. Right now they have 12 cats outdoor cats, that they do nothing more than feed and water, the cats are missing huge patches of fur all over their bodies, are not fixed, not shots and just roam everywhere destroying personal property, they clawed my patio cushions to shreds, throw up hairballs on my cars and drug dead birds on my cars and kids play equipment...it is gross. I have throw water (or whatever liquid is close by at them) tried trapping them (the neighbors spring the traps) I am getting so tired of it I am about to put antifreeze out or shoot them with a bb gun...I just really hate the thought of doing any of that but at the same time my husband and I work very hard for what we have and will not keep watching it get destroyed. We have called the cops several times and talked to the neighbors nothing has helped..how can I keep these pests away???
The neighbors tell the cops that the cats aren't theirs so even though they are the ones that feed and water them and even have a stupid "cat house" in their backyard for the vermin.
I have called the local pound and the humane society and was told by the pound that they would not come out to caught the cats because it is not illegal let cats run loose, but I could trap them and bring them to the pound myself (which I have tried doing several times), the humane society told me that they wish they could help me but they are filled to the max with cats and can not take anymore. I DO NOT want to hurt these cats at all but I am just running out of ideas.
Moving is not an option, we own our home.
Once again I will say that I really DO NOT want to hurt these cats. I know that it is not their fault, that is why I asked what else I could do. To the people that are asking about fences I do have a fenced in back yard, I also have a dog but we bring him in at night and durning the day unless the weather is nice, I hate leaving him out if it is hot or cold. Also to the person that said I was mean, you couldn't be more mistaken, we have 2 cats that we keep indoors and we take them to the vet yearly, what is mean is seeing these cats so mistreated, I could do nothing more than feed and water my kids but that isn't taking care of them. If my dog or kids go onto to some else's property and tear something up, than I am held responisble for that, even though it isn't my property, it is the same thing with these cats, they are not mine and are in no way shape or form my resposibility.

A: On your patio furniture, there is a bitter apple tasting spray that you can get. If they go onto the furiniture, and scratch and/or bite it, they'll taste it and learn to stay away. There are other products you could put in your yard that have smells that cats don't like that could keep the cats away. Some cats don't react to it, though, but you could try it and see. You could even try spraying it on the outside of your car (it actually smells pleasant to humans; it has a bit of a floral scent).

Unfortunately, the only other thing I could recommend is getting another, larger dog and keeping him outside always. If he has a large doghouse and plenty of water, he should be ok with the heat. I would have recommended the spraying them with water thing, but you have tried that already. Cats are stubborn; maybe if you kept trying it will work eventually?

Other than that...I'm really sorry about your situation. I LOVE cats, and that would drive me crazy as well. Please, though, no matter how annoying they get, please do not harm them, even as a last resort. It is cruel, and they don't deserve it :(

I hope I was able to help a little.

Q: Does the Co-Co Puffs bird give you the impression that he is selling drugs, not cereal?
I'M COO COO FOR CO-CO PUFFS! *jumps around acting like a maniac*

A: haha
Yeah

Q: Why are Americans so addicted to being afraid?
Terrorism, bird flu, SARS, AIDS, drugs, crime; a cornucopia of paranoia. The media serves it up and we gorge ourselves on it. What is the problem? Do we not feel complete unless we think something's out to get us? Quality of life is better now than it ever has been, why are we looking for the boogyman around every corner?

A: Because it's largely profitable.

Who would want to get stuck to the TV set when everything is fine?

Fear is the most profitable business.

Ask any media mogul.

Q: What sort of drugs make a good liberal?
I've been experimenting with mescaline and this new form of crack, but I was wondering, what drugs make for the best liberal? I know that with Obama it was crack and with Bill it was pot. Maybe if I try all of the drugs? Of course, bush doesn't want me to do this. He's evil and he ran over my dog. I'll never see my little scruff again and I can never forgive him for that, or the 70 million people and countless other pets (peta.org for details) he's butchered. Wait a second. There's a bird outside my window. It's black like a cia helicopter. Bush must be using it to spy on me! Oh how sad is the day with this man can even turn mother nature against us! I thought it was just hurricane Katrina with karl roves weather machine cuz bush hates blacks, but apparently I was wrong. We must do something! The bird is still watching me! It's reading what I'm typing! I'm sorry, but I must hit enter soon before it reports back! Please answer my question. Liberals, we must untie!

A: A good mix of LSD, mushrooms, Opium, Heroin, and Meth should do the trick.

Q: Why can't we legalize drugs?
Tell my why it's so important that we continue to criminalize drugs? By making these substances illegal, all we do is create clandestine economies for which we have no control via taxation and regulation. Criminalization ensures this.

What if we legalized it, taxed and regulated it? FDR legalized alcohol. America didn't fall apart at the seams then. No! In fact, we were among the victors. What if we legalized other drugs besides ethanol? We could pull our nation of debt and end all the drug-gang violence. That's killing two birds with the same stone!!

By allowing pharmaceutical companies to manufacture these substances, we can also regulate the chemical effluent that clandestine operations dispose of at the peril of our communities. Legalization of drugs is good for the environment, too.

A: I have a family member that struggled with heroin addiction, and several alcoholic aunts and uncles. They all ruined their lives. Guess which ones died? Two of them were using a perfectly legal drug and died of liver failure. The heroin addict is now clean and healthy.

I'm not sure about legalizing certain drugs, but you do have to admit that it is sort of hypocritical of people to think deadly drugs like nicotine and alcohol should be legal, but pot shouldn't. How many people have died from pot? Compare that to the number of deaths from alcohol and smoking....no comparison.

I think we should make all drug offenses except dealing a misdemeanor, where you would get a citation like a speeding ticket, and mandatory counseling. If people weren't so afraid of being arrested, I think it would be easier to track them and help them. We could take the money we are spending on the futile "war on drugs" and use it for rehab resources. Currently, heroin addicts have to wait in line to get into a methadone clinic. That's ridiculous. People who want to get clean should have the resources available to do it. That benefits not just them but us as well because it would reduce crime.

Q: If Republicans are all for "small government", what's with the "War on Drugs"?
...Who is the government to come in and say that a PLANT is illegal and you are a criminal for growing it and a criminal for what you choose to put in your own body?

Who is the government to build massive amounts of jails and a criminal justice beurocracy just to house political "criminals" ie NON violent drug offenders (50% of jail population),
diverting the police and investigators attention away from REAL criminals, like murderers, child molesters and rapists?

And filling our court houses with BS red tape?
Is this all to create government jobs
and kill two birds with one stone, the poor are sedated and have drugs to sell, and when caught, are housed in jails keeping the unemployment rate low while creating more jobs for government workers?
Phil: unfortunately, that's not a real answer,
That's a coward's way out of the major contradictions of your party,
Small government is not starting a "war on drugs" ie "war on american citizens",
beefing up military with massive spending so we can go on world policing adventures.
Patrick, You too.
Now try answering the question,
how do you think "small government" and a "war on drugs" is at conflict since we never even had this problem before criminalization <1940's?
Wendy: A typical anti-intellectual repug ad hominem because you have NO ARGUMENT WHATSOEVER,
your party's supposed platform is a damn sham,
prove otherwise.
Susi:
Do you know why your argument falls flat on it's face?
Because guess what hun,
Half are ALREADY STONED ON DRUGS.
KC V: That 50% are catagorized as NON VIOLENT DRUG OFFENDERS.

the minimum manditory for selling the "distribution" amount is in actuality very small and what good do you think it does to put these people in jail for as long as MURDERERS?
IT HAS FAILED. THERE IS ALWAYS ANOTHER ONE TO TAKE THE PLACE.
the fact of the matter is that, although we punish these non violent drug offenders as if they were actually murderers,
hell, sometimes they get LONGER sentences than murderers,
the problem has only worsened and that's the fact.
KC V: furthermore, the argument of it being 'dangerous or addictive' falls flat on it's fact since alcohol is much more dangerous than ANY drug and cigarettes are not only dangerous, but nicotine is as addictive as heroin.

A: I think you are confusing several distinctly separate issues and are attempting to tie them all together into one neat little package.
First, who is the government? It is "We The People..." You may have been too zoned out in your governments class to catch the part about the basis of all civilizations being built upon governing laws designed to protect. You don't strike me as the type to REALLY study the chemical composition of the various "plants to which you refer, their effects on the cell structure as well as the residule effects. Perhaps you should.
Your spelling ("beurocracy") is even worse than mine! You were sitting in the back of the class? Or, you simply didn't see a need to make it that day...
Here's a thought for you: The poor are poor because of bad life decisions -- repeated decisions. You honestly think getting blasted out of one's mind is going to help them make better decisions? They have little to no money, so you condone the idea of them spending what little they do not have on "recreation" such as Ipods, cell phones, beer, cigarettes and "plants?" I thought that was what cable TV was for!!! Personally, I'm tired of my tax dollars being wasted on this class of people and those who would condone the advocacy of such "lifestyles."

Q: possible reasons to give rimadyl to birds?
I am updating/transferring my birds' health records into a new computer. while reading over my vet invoices, i see that i brought one of my birds to the vet for an emergency check up. the invoice indicates that there was a problem, but doesn't give details as to what it was. then, it says they gave me 25 mg tablets of rimadyl for one of my lovebirds, and i vaguely remember having to administer the drug by syringe, but I just can't remember why. i feel terrible that I can't remember why i brought my baby to the vet!
I'm not worried about it, because this was back in 2004 and he's been completely healthy since, but I'm very curious to know of some reasons this drug might be prescribed for a bird. online all i could find was that it's a pain med for dogs/cats. i have an annual check up for them set up for next week, and plan to ask my vet if they have better records of the visit, but until then my curiosity is killing me! any ideas?

A: I have linked a few veterinary book references for you. It is used as a pain killer in birds.
It is not licensed for avian use but that statement alone is a bit misleading. This is called "off -label" use. Vets routinely use drugs "off-label" as there are very few that are actually licensed for exotics. If they could not use off-label drugs their treatment choices would be very limited.

Q: How much marijuana and cocaine did Obama do was he an addict and has he kicked the habit?
Since his old drug buddy from high school was on TV after he got out of prison for dealing drugs. It was hushed up all at once and some say Obama paid him off for silence about his drug habit. I also wonder if Obama was also a dealer you know the old saying birds of a feather flock together.

A: You think Obama and President Bush sit around and snort lines together?
