how can i convince my parent’s to let me get another bird?

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010 at 11:35 pm

im 15 year's old and i have had a total of 3 bird's i do not own them any more they had died the first one a dog got,the second a vet killed it and the third one ate metal.Don't correct my punctuation.Anyways i want to get a quaker parrot i have wanted one since i was in elementary school,and the deal was if i got all "A"s then i could get one my mom was being mean because she knew that i could never get that and i didn't.I tried so hard and all i could get was a "c" but that was a long time ago and i have gotten all "a" s before but that deal doesn't exist now or i would have all ready had one.This year i'm turning 16 in july and i am not having a party or doing anything special,so i asked my mom if i could get a new phone for my birthday and she said no and i'm like why and she said money i kneed a new phone and you don't,when i have had the same one since i was in 5th grade.So it's going to be hard to persuade her,i have a 1year and 4 month old puppy and i am trying to work with her to get her to be better trained and my property doesn't have a fence and che wouldn't come back and she was just going to leave and my mom said never to chase her so i just sat in my hard "balling" my eyes out then my mom comes home from my sister's soccer practice and she had my dog in the car with her then she comes over and yells at me when i'm already crying,and she's like why didn't you follow her i didn't answer her.Do you have any advice?

need advice on dealing with a neighbour who neglects his kittens?

i would like to preface this by reinforcing that i'm in sydney so i'm looking for advice specific to my locality.

a neighbour of mine recently aquired two kittens but has no income to look after them, he has had them for one week and has not been home most of the week- only popping in three times and being absent for up to three days in a row leaving the kittens alone in a room in his apartment, because the litter box has not been cleaned in a week and the kittens have become sick, treading foeces and vomit throughout the house, subsequently the smell and unhygienic conditions have put me in a position in which i would like to adopt these kittens rather than having them live in this state. I have already approached the owner and made him an offer and not found him amenable to selling the kittens to me or my reasoning that his apartment has become unsafe for himself and the kittens to live in.

In my reasoning i have these options
* I could alert the building administrators and suggest they look at the apartment and volunteer myself as an alternative owner for the kittens instead of them being seized
* I could alert the RSPCA directly and offer the same advice.

I need to act fast as i'm not in a position to let the situation degrade, i have other animals in my apartment- a rabbit and a parrot- and I need to be able to train the kittens at an early stage and not allow them to become more feral- i'm also scared that they will become too sickly in this early stage to live long, i have insured that the kittens can be trained and are still at this stage, lovely little animals- however they are sick and very thin and one of them already has some violent and antisocial tendencies- they are covered in fleas and mites and have wounds from fighting each other that are not healing well.

I need some advice from people as to how i should pursue getting these cats, thankyou for any help you can give me.
Hi just to clarify, the reason i know so much about the condition of the apartment and the cats is that my neighbour has asked me in his absence to feed the cats and he does not have keys to his apartment- thus the door is left unlocked, and the cats do have fleas and mites and sores as one of the kittens is more dominant than the other and bites and scratches the other in the absence of human contact- i can't spend any more than a few minutes in the apartment without gagging.

The one issue i have with simply calling the rspca is that this neighbour will suspect me- should i instead alert strata and let them contact the rspca after they've investigated?

My parrot wants to fly away!?

Help me please.. I have a parrot shes probably about 4-5 months old. When she was younger (about a month) we used to let her out her cage often but then she started trying to fly so we stopped it and left her in her cage until we had her wings clipped. After that we let her out only to discover she could still fly very well. Now I don't want to let her out because I'm scared she'll fly away or into something and hurt herself. I've seen so many parrots that just sit on their perches and don't move. How do I train her to be like that???

Any advice or input would be much appreciated!
Oh by the way its an african grey
