FW>-> The lesson? NEVER underestimate the power of a bird's brain when it
FW>-> comes to figuring out doors...and cover those trash cans!!!!!
FW>It is scary the things that they can get into, isn't it. Aren't you 
grateful
FW>he didn't fall into the toilet.
I *do* keep the toilet closed all the time (except when in use ), and
I keep the bathroom door closed too. This is a habit I've had forever.
Aside from the safety factor that it provides the birds, I now have this
huge dog, y'see, who LIKES the big water bowl in there...
FW>morning she left the room to get something from the kitchen and the little
FW>guy
FW>fell into her glass of milk and drowned.
I've heard so many true variations on this story...but it still sickens
me every time. It's right up there with the person who loved their bird
so much they slept with it at night...and rolled over on it.
FW>The list to thing that can be detrimental to the health of you birds just
FW>keeps growing.
And here YOU thought *I* was paranoid when we first met out here...
