Has it got a moat? [:D]

Is he a Knight of the Flounder Table?

Post by: kdlynn on 03/06/2007 07:47:42: he does occasionally try to move the rocks around. maybe he is building a moat... he is not a knight however. that would be far too much work for such a spoiled fish

This is our kakariki, Phoenix. They're usually green, but we found this 1 & were stunned by his vivid colouring.

Comet ready for a bit of exercise. He was badly neglected when we got him, but he's doing really well now. He's put on weight, his hind quarters have filled out, there's actually some muscle along his spine at last, & he's losing his pot belly. He's a lot happier too.

Wow Doc That is really cool that you have done that for that pony..Is he a shetland looks like an old carnival pony! Comet is a good name.. You should take a new pictuer and post it! I bet he looks great.. My daughter bought a ghorse that had been neglected and It took a long time getting him to fill out properly as we were worried about him Floundering.. He was in bad shape. He did really nicely though and was great! His name was bandit! He lives next door these days.. When my daughter lost interest I gave her the horse as her 35 year old mare had died and her 30 year old male had also passed shortly after they had been stall buddies for most all of their years..

Title: What animals do we have?
Post by: DoctorBeaver on 04/06/2007 08:16:58: Karen - we were told Comet was a Shettie before we went to see him but we think he's a Dartmoor. You can't tell from the pic, but he's too big to be a Shettie.

He wasn't called Comet when we got him (he & Tango were called something stupid like Bill & Phil). We've had them for a couple of months now & we're really pleased how quickly Comet has picked up.

Sandra's boys ride him quite regularly & he's turning into the perfect kids' pony. He's gentle, responding well to training, cheeky - everything you could want from a child's pony.

He was listless & lethargic when we got him, but he's so much happier now. He's starting to show a lot of character now too.

He's not as cheeky or stroppy as Tango, though. He really is a stubborn oik & it's going to take a lot of work to get him rideable. He's starting to respond, but it's going to take a long time. I've found out that he loves going over trotting poles. I get him into the menage and he happily trots & canters over them. He'd rather hop over them than walk round them. When I call him he will deliberately make a detour to go over them.

I've got him trotting & cantering without a lungeline now - he responds to my voice commands - when he chooses to! I've had to bully him a few times, but I think he's realising it's more fun to co-operate.

Post by: DoctorBeaver on 04/06/2007 08:19:45: I'd not heard of kakarikis before. They're New Zealand parrots & have a peculiar trait of walking upside-down like a bat across the top of the cage.

They like fruit & Phoenix has already managed to plaster raspberry up the wall.

He lives next to Coco the cockatiel. On the other side of Coco is the nameless budgie. Moonfire has seen Coco on webcam and said he's a right little show-off.

Title: What animals do we have?
Post by: Karen W. on 05/06/2007 17:31:52: Parrots usually live a long time and they certainly are cool. Cockateils I am not sure of the life span but I bet with good care they can live a long time too!

Coi can live to be three hundred years old! At least that was what I was told by an aquarium shop. They can be passed down from generation to generation. I understand there was some kind of recored in Japan or something about a coi! I can't remember where I heard it!

Post by: DoctorBeaver on 05/06/2007 18:00:24: Karen - Tiels can live, on average, 25 years although some have been known to reach 40.

Post by: Nobody's Confidant on 05/06/2007 18:06:59: Parrots are awesome. One time i went to a pet store and one stared at me. So i said hello. And it said hello back! I was blown away.

Maybe that was my alien gift of tounges.

Title: What animals do we have?
Post by: DoctorBeaver on 29/06/2007 18:02:21: We think he's a Dartmoor, but we're not entirely sure.

We're so pleased with how quickly he's progressing. His muscles are starting to fill out rather than being concave & his coat is looking really good now. He's lost most of his saggy belly too.

He's a lot happier too with loads more energy. It's Comet's stable that the swallows are nesting in. Most mornings when we get there, he's got bird poop on him [:D]

Thats right... you did say that.. I had forgotten.. I don't think I have ever seen that breed, or heard of it! I don't know a lot about hoses, I just like them they are great! Loaded with personality! LOL
