22.01.2022 Please don’t cage birds of different sizes. This person was told how risky it is to have birds of such size disparity together. The person said they had been to...gether for a while so all was okay. The corella has since killed the cockatiel. Often times the bigger birds do not intend to hurt the smaller ones but do so because, they are hormonal and want to breed, they accidentally injure the little ones or nip the smaller one in an attempt to get them to do what they want. It takes one accident, like this incident, and the smaller bird is dead or badly injured. Please don’t bond or cage birds of different sizes and temperaments. You may not mean for injury to happen but it does See more

19.01.2022 Rescued Old Mate and his Lovely Lady from roadside in Glenlusk Rd last night. I could never have done it, at least not as quickly, without the help of a nice bloke named Dan and his net. So if Dan's wife from Collinsvale area sees this, he did indeed go to save them and thankyou for asking him to! These 2 have gone off to live on a 5 acre property in Collinsvale with a bunch of other chicken friends.

12.01.2022 Assisted Rehoming Cabarita Beach, NSW Home Found... 2 Female Budgies from a Child Care Centre. Not tame, a bit skittish. Looking for home experienced with budgies. Please keep in mind proper quarantine procedure for new birds and whether you have the room to upgrade their cage or add them to an existing aviary. For further details please inquire via messenger. (These are not my birds, I do not have access to them being in a different state. I can pass on further questions and put you in touch if the contact so wishes)

02.01.2022 Paradichlorobenzene is used as a fumigant insecticide to control clothes moths. It is also found in deodorant blocks made for trash cans and toilets. Paradichlorobenzene was first registered for use in the United States in 1942, and it is sometimes called 1,4-dichlorobenzene. The vapor of paradichlorobenzene is toxic to insects. In humans and other animals, paradichlorobenzene is broken down in the body to form other compounds that may be harmful to cells or organs such as th...e liver. In animals, paradichlorobenzene is rapidly absorbed through the lungs or gut, but more slowly through the skin. Paradichlorobenzene was found in the fat, liver, and kidneys. Smaller amounts were found in the blood plasma, lungs, and muscle. Paradichlorobenzene was eliminated from the body soon after the exposure stopped. When animals were exposed for long periods of time, their bodies began to break down the paradichlorobenzene faster, and tissue levels declined. If a pet eats a mothball made of paradichlorobenzene, they may have vomiting, tremors, and/or abdominal pain. Paradichlorobenzene may also cause kidney and liver damage in pets. The way paradichlorobenzene caused cancer in mice could possibly occur in humans as well. Researchers exposed groups of 50 male rats, 50 female rats, 50 male mice and 50 female mice per dose to paradichlorobenzene via inhalation exposure for six hours a day, five days a week, for two years. Treatment concentrations were 20, 75, or 300 ppm. Increased rates of liver cancers were noted in both sexes of mice exposed to 300 ppm paradichlorobenzene. No increased rates of tumor formation were noted in any of the rat treatment groups. Nasal lesions were considered the most sensitive endpoint following exposure. Rats and rabbits exposed to very high doses of paradichlorobenzene vapor while pregnant gained less weight than control animals. In another study, mother rats had fewer surviving young. Rats and rabbits inhaled 50, 200, or 600 ppm for an unspecified period of time. At the two highest doses, food consumption and maternal body weight gain declined. Young born to animals dosed with 600 ppm displayed delayed cervical ossification. When researchers fed 10 ducks a diet containing 0.5% paradichlorobenzene for 35 days, three ducks died and the rest did not grow as well. Birds exposed to paradichlorobenzene vapors may show weakness, head bobbing, anorexia, and depression.Signs of exposure in birds following ingestion of contaminated food or paradichlorobenzene itself include weight loss, immunosuppression, hepatitis, diarrhea, tremors, and seizures. http://npic.orst.edu/factsheets/archive/PDBtech.html http://npic.orst.edu/factsheets/archive/PDBtech.html
