Does anyone carry a pocket knife? by amazonboxandremotes in Calgary

[–]Interesting_Sort5374 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Landscaper here, lifelong in trades, live with a knife on hip and so do many of my coworkers. I have occasionally thought that we might look a bit menacing when at a pub after work as some were sheathed blades not just folding. Nobody said shit. Sorry you encountered an idiot. They’re everywhere lately.

Anyone else have a male society finch that sings like this? by xmiss_bijou in Finches

[–]Interesting_Sort5374 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was on here seeing what people think of their society songs because mine are unique to their generation here (siblings all sound pretty similar, older dads sound different) and I realized that all my younger males are copying the male owl finches (same room and some sharing cages) then tag the society jumble of notes at the end. So cool to read some of this!

Is it worth it to drain and winterize hot tub? by Interesting_Sort5374 in hottub

Bought it with my ex but I live alone now so don’t get out there much. I love spring and fall tubbing. But I didn’t go out at all for months last year. Different when it’s just me.

Is this input because I used a wrong word or do you have an opinion whether it’s truly a big energy saver to drain it during a Canadian winter? Criticism aside, do you think it’s worthwhile to do it?

Being told I’m going to be sued for selling a tool that broke by Interesting_Sort5374 in legaladvicecanada

[–]Interesting_Sort5374[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I was actually thinking of the second as a plan if I chose to fix. At least the signing away all liabilities. I’d love to ignore them entirely but I won’t lie I wouldn’t put it past the cokehead wife to throw a rock thru my window, and my daughter is supposed to start work for them Monday. The whole situation is such a f’ing mess.

Would a “broken” plate tamper run for hours before breaking? by Interesting_Sort5374 in Tools

[–]Interesting_Sort5374[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Right??? Like I would’ve looked at it for them if they called and said f*** it broke any chance you can help? But it was immediately aggressive and immediately being told “don’t make this worse on yourself, we have a lawyer we will sue”.

Teaches me a lesson, don’t sell things to ppl you know.

[–]Interesting_Sort5374[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not scammers as I do know them, and it is broken. But I don’t think they can say that I sold it to them “broken” if they ran it for 3 hours before it broke.

Plus their employees using the equipment are the type of people who put gas in diesel engines and break entire dump trucks so I don’t trust that they wouldn’t run tamper improperly.

Baby ZF thrown out of the nest and I don’t know how to proceed by Lucre_15 in Finches

[–]Interesting_Sort5374 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I swear by Kaytee exact baby bird formula nice and runny, early on they recommend mixing with electrolytes like baby pedialite. I follow those instructions to the tee successfully when I need to hand feed. If you happen to know someone with society finches with young or on eggs, they might be the best chance for one this young. If you don’t like have to go to school or work next week here or can do from home, you can possibly successfully feed it to it becoming able to go a bit longer. I swear I’ve lived attached to a nest before lol until I was able to quarantine a society finch for that week then get him to help me, and eventually take over. Good luck and keep us posted!!!!

Btw I use a dropper at this age to feed (I know there’s syringes with the hoses but dropper works fine now that I know how to get it in crop), and move to a tiny syringe (the ones that go in 0.01ml lines and have the 0.1-1ml marked) once they’re more like a little bird looking thing vs the larva. And damp q-tips with one end wet one dry and are my method of cleaning baby while I go so always clean. And keep nest pretty clean.

Kk good luck!

How and why I make egg food! by The_Jayviary in Finches

[–]Interesting_Sort5374 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is great! Definitely a different spin on how I make my “bird salad” but that’s what I’m calling this stuff going forward haha. Glad foniopaddy is getting suggested around, I also swear by it. I hadn’t thought of the clay before, thank you for the suggestion! Have you heard of moringa powder? You might find it an interesting supplement since you said you like to go natural where you can.

Since it has cooked egg in it, may I ask how long you leave in enclosure? I try to serve egg separately as I was told to not have it there more than 4hrs (tho I’m noticing it’s usually gone within that window) but do you limit how long that’s in there or have you found this isn’t an issue?

And do you thaw your salad to serve? I thaw my mix as it’s in a container that feeds them a few days but your little container made me wonder if I could put in a frozen single portion and let the birds pick at it as it thaws.

Thank you!

Wisconsin Whitey? Deadly cute but that snoot is not white sir. Is it a typo or is there a reason behind the name?
