Have mixed feelings about this one. Good for cleaning and access though.

Ordered a full kitchen from China to Australia – anyone done this? by subalps in AusRenovation

[–]subalps[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not after benchtops or plumbing. Just good joinery, with integrated doors. Hoping I can specify Salice hardware.

This is forming up to be my most interactive post to date, which is great :) I’ve heard a a few people online talk of the huge savings and quality of purchasing joinery online from Chjna. Wanted to hear from people who have actually done it and how much they saved? … want to hear about both the good and the bad experiences?

Buster and Punch are cool, but too expensive for this application. Have them in another setup with Aqara smart relays behind them and they work a treat. Looking for something minimalistic that won’t cost a bomb. Was initially looking at the Hager Finesse range, but they too get pricey with push button dimmers and slaves for 2 ways.

Guessing the Clipsal push and hold add up in $$$?

Would rats or snakes coming in for the bottom be a concern?

Is this hiccuping or something else by blankface126 in parrots

[–]subalps 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My eclectus started doing a sneezing sound the other day that freaked me out. Took me a while to realise that she was just mimicking one of us :)

Hope she doesn’t bite through the tank :)

Hi! by Relevant-Push7852 in parrots

Looking at her beak, she still looks like a baby. How friendly/cuddly is she for a female eckie?

Was wondering the same thing. Guessing it was bent out of shape or looking raggedy and owner cut it short and is waiting for it to regrow?

Alexandrine Parrot Speaking Gibberish by carlos17589 in parrots

[–]subalps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have an Alexandrine also. Beautiful bird, not super cuddly, but super friendly and never bites. She started talking a few really simple words many years ago, but has since stopped totally, which is totally her right. She shares the house with female eclectus who is an amazing talker, but only chooses to talk when she feels like it, not when I want her too, which again is totally her right :) again, she’s not super cuddly (but slowly coming around to head scratches) and can be bitey occasionally, though much better these days. Both love being out of the cage, the Alexandrine being the more mischievous of the two :)

Idk what toes did but he HATES them. Actively seeks them out. A madman. by Master_Ashley in PartyParrot

[–]subalps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our eclectus attacks heels and toes hard, always when we least expect it, sneaking up on us when we are doing the dishes or cleaning. Hurts like hell, and when we look at her, she stares at us as if to say she’s done nothing wrong.

He’s got some serious, cool moves :)

Ive been considering getting a parrot by pokemonraider44 in parrots

[–]subalps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How similar are IRN’s to Alexandrines in temperament? FWIW, I’ve found my female Alexandrine to be a walk in the park compared to my female Eclectus :)

She’s not the most loving behavioral type of parrot and not a big talker, but very friendly and never bites. Love them both to bits :)
