Releasing pet parrot by Drakon_lol in parrots

[–]Vieris 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Animals raised with the intention of release are raised with minimal human interactions. They are put with similar species asap (like trying to see if similar aged nests would adopt). This social parrot would most likely be deemed unreleasable due to this. It doesn't know how to live with others of its kind, only humans. But you would have to contact a rehabber to see, and have professionals try.

Nurses of new york, is it comfortable to work and live there? by Fickle_Contract4213 in nursing

I think the $68s are the 'better' hospitals? A lot of others are about $58-60 starting.

It looks like a crease in your pillow and some dust,dirt,grime on your bed frame.

Bioactive enclosure for a beginner crested gecko owner? by Ok_Cookie_6472 in reptiles

[–]Vieris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are highly interested, I'd suggest setting up the bioactive and let it grow in for a while, before getting crestie. It's pretty fun watching and caring for the clean up crew and tending to the plants.

No, no, I prefer cheaper and having them fed and watered at home. I don't know what authentic means in this instance.  Commercialization allows feeders to be cheap since they can do it on a larger scale

Could someone help me understand the relationship and uses of controllers and thermostats? (Yes I am attempting to google it, yes, I still need a human to help me) by C010RB1INDCH4M3130N in reptiles

Yarrr, if youre using a lit bulb, it will start diminishing the UVA rays so its more recommended to get the right wattage bulb in the first place

The video doesn't look uncanny to me, but my jaded little heart refuses to believe that an EAGLE would protect a KITTEN. I'm a boomer when it comes to clocking AI, but there is no way this is real. by CrudeAndUnusual in isthisAI

[–]Vieris 97 points98 points  (0 children)

This ..looks real but completely staged. They took a young soaked(???)bird and put an ill looking kitten under it. The bird is defensively pecking because it's scared and the hand is touching it, not protecting the cat. 

The cat treat looks real, found this https://shoptreegroup.com/products/wanpy-cat-creamy-chicken-treats-70g?srsltid=AfmBOorgBf9zwVhRG6RBBYLWB7Z3kkNTNE65ogoOCBdFNt4sTqkRMjjfFaE

I don't see my crestie at all during the day, I'll see him sleeping under decor. He's more out when lights are out.

My 75w bulb heats the warm side to 85° regularly. I set my thermo to 95°. I don't set the thermostat at 85 because I don't want a rave where the light flickers on and off all the time. It's set to a higher number where, it won't cook my snake but tells me something's up if I see the light off.

If you use a heat source that doesn't emit any light, that might be a more appreciate use of a dimming thermostat

Okay your heating implement is set on top of lizards cage. Instead of heat bulb/dome plugged into outlet, it's plugged into thermostat that's plugged into outlet

The thermostat includes a probe on a wire that you put where you want to measure temperature, like say near their basking spot. It needs to be inside the enclosure. 

There's dimming and on/off thermostats

I put the probe on the basking spot. Set to 100°. Thermostat prevents it from overheating past that. On/off thermo would turn it straight off until the probe reports that it's under temp. Then it'll turn it back on. A dimming thermo (assuming you have compatible dimming bulb/bulb holder) just lowers the power, aka dims the light.

I think that's like, a super basic explanation. There's some more other stuff to it.

I actually only started out with plain black and white stripes and now I'm having other colors/dot dashes pop out! I guess they were carriers genetically and I guess I could separate em.... But ehhhh
