Probably not. Ava and Jill's Peaches made me think of a story my brother tol me last night. My brother has a Macaw named Merlyn that he adopted from a rescue group. Merlyn is a character and it's amazing how he is able to say things in correct context. He learned to whistle and call the dogs which were several very old labs and two small yappy dogs. The labs died of old age last fall (all three were around 15 y/o) and this week my brother decided he wanted another large dog. He adopted two, one boxer/lab mix and a heeler (an australian type herding dog) and he said they were really sweet dogs but the heeler kept trying to herd the little dogs. Somehow, Wednesday night the heeler, Rosie, got to Merlyn and bit one of his toes off. Merlyn had to have emergency surgery to amputate his toe and Rosie the heeler was returned to the shelter because they felt she couldn't live in the house with Merlyn. Fortunately, the shelter is a minimum kill shelter and the administration assured my brother that she wouldn't be euthanized because she really was a sweet dog. My brother assured them she was sweet, she just wasn't suited for a household with birds (Merlyn is one of two Macaws they have). I can't wait to hear what Merlyn has to say when he gets back home and has time to think about this incident (he already has an extensive collection of colorful words). How do you give Ava special cuddles like petting?

A friend's sister lives on a farm and has an African Grey (very talky type) who enjoys torturing the dogs by saying "Wanna go out? Wanna go out?" The dogs always do! > The labs died of old age last fall (all three were around 15 y/o) and >this week my brother decided he wanted another large dog.

I just catch and hold her or run a hand along her. She's not really fond of human attention, but tolerates it. :-) Signature"The universe is quite robust in design and appears to be doing just fine on its own, incompetent support staff notwithstanding. :-)" - the Dennis formerly known as (evil), MCFL > http://members.impulse.net/~thebob/20050302_Felix_And_Ava.jpg LOL!

At least with doves (can't vouch for Peaches' species), I'd only really worry if he bit or scratched her hard enough to break her skin (hasn't happened yet).

Maybe you should show this pictures to the folks over at rec.pets.birds, and ask their opinions too. ;) Takayuki <Takayuki9z@yahoo.com> had some very interesting things to say about Re: The kids hanging out :-): >Maybe you should show this pictures to the folks over at >rec.pets.birds, and ask their opinions too. ;) I refuse to go over there, since they ganged up on me and insisted that I'm torturing the bird by having her in the same household with a cat. Apparently, I was supposed to either turn away an injured, cold bird or kick out the cat I've had since a month after my wedding (in 1995). You can tell from the photo that I'm just cruelly tormenting the little featherhead, right? ;-) Signature"The universe is quite robust in design and appears to be doing just fine on its own, incompetent support staff notwithstanding. :-)" - the Dennis formerly known as (evil), MCFL > Takayuki <Takayuki9z@yahoo.com> had some very interesting things to > say about Re: The kids hanging out :-): [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > You can tell from the photo that I'm just cruelly tormenting the > little featherhead, right? ;-) Those folks are very judgemental. Only a few are helpful or even polite. Yeah, Ava looks like a purely tortured critter :) I think close contact with cats is only a problem with certain species. Lovebirds can catch something from cats - can't recall what it is now. They are fine unless they actually get rubbed by a cat.

They >are fine unless they actually get rubbed by a cat. I know virtually nothing about lovebirds (never had one, so I've never needed to know :-) ). Ringneck doves seem to co-exist fine with cats, if Ava's any reliable indicator.

Now Fez is pestering me to get him a pet bird. Yeah, right! I don't think so little Fez. I wouldn't trust you near a bird for 1 second. SignatureVictor M. Martinez Owned and operated by the Fantastic Seven (TM) Send your spam here: uce@ftc.gov Email me here: pistorLITTER@BOXaustin.rr.com This is completely amazing to me. Collared doves are one of Kitty's favourite foods, and even Boyfriend has caught a couple. I have lots that visit and also nest in my garden. They are also a favourite meal for a female sparrowhawk that comes here. It doesn't seem to make the slightest difference to their population however. They are a very successful species here in Britain and have been recorded breeding in every month of the year. My friend Bob in Michigan also has a pet collared dove, called Howard. You can see Howard, and Bob's miscellany of other animals on his website: http://www.enslavedbyducks.com/ Tweed >This is completely amazing to me.

I met him on my poultry group, we got into private mailing as I had an "American" question to ask, and I thought he sounded the nicest to ask privately. We have corresponded around twice a week for about 2 years now. He is a lovely, lovely, sensitive man and very talented. When my mom died very suddenly in 03 and I was almost destroyed he mailed me every day until N came from Germany to help. He was struggling after a week to keep me cheerful, told me about his visit to the barbers :-) Ahhhh. Love him to bits. I'll never forget it and never stop appreciating what he did for someone he has still never met. Tweed > This is completely amazing to me.

[quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Tweed I find it amazing that Collared doves were not seen in Britain before 1967, then there was one pair in Norfolk. They've done pretty well since then, I see as many as 30 at a time in my garden.

How did you get them used to one another? What >happened the first time they met? Felix is pretty relaxed, and we guess that Ava lived with cats before she came to us (she showed up injured on the doorstep one cold night and wound up a family member), since she's completely fearless when it comes to cats. When we brought Ava in, Felix came over, sniffed her, then gave us an "Oh, OK, whatever" look and resumed his normal inactivity :-) (he's middle-aged and kinda sedentary). Ava didn't seem to care about the presence of a cat.
