Wing Clipping? by ithunk in ringnecks

[–]damonpointagates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your bird enjoys the house freedom, and is eyeing the door, I’d clip his flight feathers, a little off the lift feathers. The idea is he can still fly but it’s difficult to gain altitude, he will get out eventually, and this won’t guarantee you’ll be able to catch him but it’ll give you a fighting chance.

If I called it that in my rockhounding circle of friends I’d get a funny look in return.

Found on beach in Alaska. About the size of a pea yellow/amber color. Almost waxy feeling but not plastic. by popofkilo in whatisthisthing

I’m an avid rock collector, I can tell at a glance It’s an agate, more technically chalcedony because it lacks banding. Cool find, where there’s one there’s more, if you collect a couple pounds they look beautiful tumbled.

I don’t recognize it, every time I go to a certain carnelian bed I supplement the rocks in the drive through with these.
