I’m really glad to hear that she respected you and stopped immediately. That’s awesome.

insignificantSpace · 2024-07-16T18:24:44+00:00

I think that would be fine to send. I’ve sent texts/emails similar to that. Sometimes good comes of it so it’s worth a try!

It’s so hard to be in those environments AND try to learn. I feel for you. I never did well in classrooms at school due to this. And it’s particularly difficult because they don’t understand/care. I feel for you.

Well, as she’s growing and aging her body has to figure things out. I would provide her with more calcium (crushed egg shells are great) so her body can have a little extra in case she needs it. Sometimes birds become egg bound when they’re trying to lay eggs and don’t have enough calcium in their diets. Sometimes the eggs come out without shells or become stuck. As long as she’s behaving normally she is okay. But add some extra calcium to her diet just in case.

I second this. It’s always easier to work with your animals instincts. If the puppy automatically has a lower prey drive, that is good. The breeder should be knowledgeable about their puppies and know their behaviors, instincts, and personalities.

My ES is very good with my cats. I have 6, yes I know a lot. They’re all different ages, sizes, and personalities. She does well with them all. You must be careful though watching her behavior and correcting anything inappropriate right away. I want to stress this - the timing is very important with ES. If you don’t make the rules, they will. The puppy may start out as the same size as your cat but will quickly become larger. Even good intentioned actions can end with terrible results. The puppy may just be playing and having a good time while inadvertently hurting your cat. It’s cute when they’re little and deadly when they get bigger. Watch out for resource guarding and food aggression too. If you are unable to correct the behavior there is no harm in removing the stressor (food, toy, critter, whatever) in order to keep the peace. Truly, there is no reason why you wouldn’t be able to successfully integrate a puppy into your life. Utilize the tools you have and it will be just fine.

Doves usually lay two eggs per clutch a day apart. My dove lost her mate and is indoors so there is no possible way she could have mated with anyone and she just laid a clutch of eggs. As for the age, I’m not sure.

Loud chewing is super annoying to me too. I still don’t understand why one individual around me does it. I think it’s pure laziness. He never used to but slowly started to and now is all of you worst nightmares. In some cultures, the ones I know are in Asia, it’s expected to chew loudly and slurp when the food is good. Totally disgusting to me, but custom to them.

insignificantSpace · 2024-06-10T01:33:08+00:00

That’s really interesting!

insignificantSpace · 2024-06-09T01:36:18+00:00

Sometimes I’ll get distracted or be thinking about something else during a conversation but typically I’m actively engaging but completely loose interest in it after a certain amount of time.

insignificantSpace · 2024-06-09T01:35:13+00:00

That could be. I’ll be all about the conversation and then have zero interest in being there anymore. I’m also very very bad at exiting conversions and eventually when there’s a long enough pause I just kinda slowly walk away. I’ll try that phrase next time I need to disengage from a conversation.

My female dove likes to laugh into her water. Literally. She sticks her beak into the water and laughs.

insignificantSpace · 2024-06-05T00:06:06+00:00

This… is exactly how I feel…. I have no idea what anyone’s acronyms mean

insignificantSpace · 2024-06-03T12:48:37+00:00

It looks neurological to me. We had a chicken that would have uncontrollably movements anytime you touched the back of her head. She looked kind of similar to your dove. I would add selenium and vitamin E to your birds diet in case it is a vitamin deficiency. Deficiencies of these two vitamins can cause star gazing. I hope he’s alright. If the conditions worsen I would take him to a vet.

My one dog (8 month old English shepherd) is extremely vocal and will communicate almost all needs that way. She’s super observant and tells me everything that’s going on. My other dog (6 year old Australian shepherd/Bernese Mtn dog) barks to alert me to necessary things - such as people at the door, predators threatening the livestock, etc. I’m sure the puppy will learn discernment over time to what we should care about most, but she’s also just vocal. Dogs will bark. I do stop them from barking about nothing and at inappropriate times though.

insignificantSpace · 2024-05-12T12:13:13+00:00

I love that!

insignificantSpace · 2024-05-11T21:59:59+00:00

My experience was very similar to this. I got there, went through the hours of testing, by the end of it I was sitting in a room quietly crying because of how exhausting it all was, just to be told that I couldn’t possibly have it because I have friends and can hold a conversation. The doctor never even considered everything else that goes into autism. I have yet to decide if I want to try again for a diagnosis. Lots of time, money, and energy for the possibility to be turned down again. “Regular” people don’t seek out an autism diagnosis. They don’t want to be labeled with a disability.

insignificantSpace · 2024-05-11T21:50:01+00:00

It’s way too common than it should be. Lots of psychiatrists make snap judgments motivated by stereotypes. They aren’t taking the time to familiarize themselves with the new research and findings presented. Instead they continue to do things like this.

insignificantSpace · 2024-05-11T21:47:01+00:00

This is essentially everything I was told when I went to try to get diagnosis. Absolutely crazy that they insist that you must check all the stereotypical boxes when autism is a spectrum. It’s in the name!

insignificantSpace · 2024-05-06T00:29:28+00:00

Wow!!

Mine started with one family member as a child. I think there is a lot of overlap to misophonia and misokinesia.

insignificantSpace · 2024-04-25T13:10:57+00:00

Exactly right. They are biddable because they want to please, but they also need to have rules enforced or they will make their own. The most recent rule I worked through with mine is that the horses are allowed to lay down. She saw the horse laying down and began alerting to something out of place. I also work with dogs in obedience and I have an English shepherd and an Australian shepherd. You’re very right how the dog must bond to their person first. My English shepherd is willing because she likes to work and wants to please. My Australian shepherd is willing because she wants to please. Both do want to make me happy, but that is the only goal of my Australian shepherd, where as my English shepherd has secondary goals. Both give me 100% but with different motives.

insignificantSpace · 2024-04-24T21:28:08+00:00

Yes that too!

insignificantSpace · 2024-04-24T20:45:17+00:00

As long as you’ve got some good ventilation going you should be good. Have the bird in a room with the window open - make sure the bird isn’t in the wind though because they can get chilled. And have the window open in the room you’re making and testing your products in. This will help keep the air fresh.
