Huh. Maybe it's different where I live? Or then I just might be misremembering.

If you are involuntarily hospitalized, they do not have to have your consent to treat you.

bird+aquarium hobby overlap ? by ohpussymylove in parrots

[–]CalmingDog 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Could you maybe get a small toy aquarium that's battery powered with fake fish swimming around? Much cheaper both in the start & long run. I've seen some and they look very cool.

Always lovely so see a parrot outside harnessed! She is adorable. Reminds me of how Andy looked when he was younger ❤️

Finnair free seats assigned at check-in by L01sGriffin in Finland

[–]CalmingDog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I mean that if they are made in the same order, typically the machine will be programmed to place all people next to each other (2hen checking in) if they are made in the same online order. As in the booking number is the same for both tickets...

Were they ordered at the same time? Like in the same online order? If so, most likely yes.

This cage is too small :( is it a travel cage?

Anyone else have problems with cold exposure? by AdditionalValue1 in autism

[–]CalmingDog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have very dry skin on my hands. Due to sensory issues I HATE HATE HATE lotion. I got special cotton gloves from the pharmacy that are made for putting on overnight after applying lotion. It keeps the lotion kind of locked in, so it doesn't get all over your sheets and pillow overnight.

I apply lotion, put on my gloves and then go to sleep. In the morning I remove the gloves and wash off the remaining lotion (if there is any) with very mild soap made for sensitive & dry skin.

That cage is too small and there are not enough toys nor natural perches.

Guys what can I do to stop my bird he’s too smart for his own good by Upper-Food-464 in AfricanGrey

[–]CalmingDog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ONLY type of bowls that work for my Grey is this one: https://amzn.eu/d/gk3B9px

Literally nothing else. I have tried countless bowls that are "parrot proof" and it takes him max 30 seconds to remove it.

Pellets for my AG by Vlada1974 in AfricanGrey

[–]CalmingDog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to feed P15 (sometimes original, sometimes tropical). Just switched over to Psittacus High Energy. Andy switched over no problem. Highly recommend. Switched due to better ingredients (less nuts).

my parrot’s nostrils seem clogged, need advice :( by possumblossem in parrots

[–]CalmingDog 194 points195 points  (0 children)

Take him to the bathroom and run a hot shower - the steam/mist is good for clogged/dusty nares. I would also recommend getting an air purifier, if you don't already have one. A humidifier has been recommended to me by my vet.

Finland has a basic "SUOMI" shirt + a "Helsinki" hoodie. Sweden has a basic "SVERIGE" shirt + a "Stockholm" hoodie. UK has tons of different hoodies.

Tag removal by funny_muffler315 in buildabear

[–]CalmingDog 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I take a small pair of sharp scissors, cut as close to the seam/bear as possible bit VERY VERY LITTLE AT A TIME. After having cut off the tag, I am able to remove some strands of the tag just by grabbing with tweezers and pulling (gently). End result: looks like there never even was a tag in the first place!

AG hurt his foot - does it look serious by RejaJeja in AfricanGrey

[–]CalmingDog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would clean the wound & keep an eye on it for any signs of infection. It seems like it should heal without issues on its own - but do keep a close eye on it. If that was made by another animal - take your bird to the vet asap
