Friday, April 9th, 2010is this bird cage too small?
Friday, April 9th, 2010Its for 1 parakeet only! this is the size 9.5 x 12 x 13" (lower) 20" (high)
if its too small tell me how much bigger it has to be and how big the cages usally need to be. thanks!
It’s about half the size it should be. For a budgie, you want a cage at least 12"x20", and 18" high. More depth or width is better (I’d prefer at least 18" square); more height doesn’t matter as much. The bar spacing should be no more than 1/2".

Hey,
This is the second half of my poem and discussion. I chose two movies only and played them back to back. I wanted to go for nature and MathemArtistry. These are excellent films on their own, and I’m honoured to be able to use them via Creative Commons… Be FREE! Think FREE! Live FREE!
I used an open source video and animation editing software to construct this film, called Jahshaka… GET IT NOW! I used Ableton Live to master the audio from the soundtracks of the films I used with my voice.. notice the reverb effect and nice mesh of audio levels?? Oh yeah, baby… beyond insane and becoming a masterer of audio…..dyo-BOP!
These films can be found at www.archive.org

2nd film: the emergence of beauty in science, nature and art
abstract art music video – As an information-gatherer and adventurous mind, my visual thinking and aesthetic dimensions and imaginary number fields are influenced by reason and magic, math and myth, physics and psychology. The hand of an artist or natures dynamics are the origin of my paintings and compositions, from where the imagery and music is spinning into a concerto of new motions and subtle variations. Natural, computer-generated, man-made are inseparable categories in this process of entangled interactions, body signals, dreams and synchronicities. Painting-computing is both math and psychology. The video, Parado’s Density in Motion Picture is to be understood cosmocentrically as flowing from the All.

Is it cruel to keep a bird in a cage so small, the bird can’t fly around, and can birds be house broken?
Thursday, April 1st, 2010i don’t mean flit back and forth from one side to the other, I mean fly at least a couple of feet or circle the inside of a cage.
I do wish people would research before they make a statement like Birds can’t be housebroken. That is one of the most commonly asked questions on any parrot forum The answer is yes they can. A simple google search brought up 27,000 hits. Most people refer to it as potty training.

A bird should be in as large a cage as is feasible with the proper bar spacing. This will help prevent the wing muscles from wasting away and becoming useless

what type of bird is the calmest and least likely to bite of the small cage birds?
Monday, March 29th, 2010
Finches and canaries, but they are not birds that you would normally take out and interact with, like you would with parakeets and cockatiels and other birds. They are birds that like the company of their own kind.
the Bird Cage for Spirit (poem reading)

I have schizophrenia. This poem is about my experience and interpretation of schizophrenia, in a poetic manner.
Please enjoy and give feedback.
The Birdcage for Spirit — by Brenden MacDonald
My mind breaks things apart
and sequences impossible order
to the meaningfully spontaneous.
I perceive a strange message conveying
while break-mind intervenes, inadvertently,
“breaking the spirit’s focus from mind and body,”
one sense I have of schizophrenia.
Blinded by internal events too intense,
I easily wander lost seeking reasons outside
for my beautiful dreaming deep within.
A shared realm entertains transformation,
and I abide by the dynamic of biology,
mind, emotion, and soul.
Those reversed call for freedom,
response, articulation, and creativity.
If I ever forget my spirit, my freedom,
and reduce merely my dimensions to three,
break-mind squeezes my breath closed,
forces a halt.
I needed to accept a cosmic origin,
that I’m not just a meaningless chance.
If this world follows only physical mechanism,
and no soul-space has a you-essence,
where could real love live and who’d wait for true love?
To escape the clutches
of unstopping nihilist reduction
in this real struggle
for sane meaning
and in this yearning for my source,
my mind found a door to open
and I could let in my imaginings,
to find the embrace
of spontaneous expression.
And I could watch on this side of the door,
as this side of the world did turn
into a magic poem I could read.
The door to spirit slid open for me,
and I could disappear out there completely,
until then leaving it open,
letting the cool and warm airs of spirit fill my world,
airs of that open world that help fill physics with life,
with vitality, with my breath ongoing,
for the drawing and passing of air entices life
into our midst.
Pursue the lessons, oh, the joys, of symbiosis!
Schizophrenia for me has been a war against myself
and those devices planted in my brain, but hold on,
because I am not paranoid! I planted them myself;
they’re devices for repression and devices for delusion.
One invents a device when a method of thinking is discovered, a method to organize meaning. Keeping in mind that I’ve never been able to well organize my room, my sentences, or organize my future, one could easily see the potential confusion for my mind released to wild nature. I feel at odds with my environment, extremely feel odd for sure. Do you want to know my biggest delusion? I believed our society was one grand illusion, for I couldn’t believe in extreme impiety, the kind of society itself broken from reality, the kind of society abhorrent to social, emotional, or racial inclusion, a society that stomped Earth’s biodiversity and stomped on fellow global citizens in holy wars of greed and creed.
I became so deluded, because I wouldn’t believe in true evil. I made up a story that some god had weird plans, and now forgetting that, I still won’t agree to see evil thru to its end.
Please: if you dig this poem,
go to dance and sing some music,
and make love, communicate.
In my waiting out storms schizophrenic,
I longed to experience this world’s sunlight again.
Feel the amazing release of your light,
deeply profound in every moment
because, really, you see, I’ve been meaning to explore and surrender to experiential discovery.
Gaia asks for tears, you pheonix,
so heal Earth with love on a never-ending quest.
Seek freedom in the sadness for the beauty that we are;
go emerge,
you can fly free from your cage….

Patrick Watson is a musical mad scientist. Hes an internationally acclaimed singer, composer, songwriter, and producer. Patrick Watson is also the name of this mad genius band, fleshed-out like Frankenstein by Robbie Kuster, Mishka Stein, and Simon Angell.
Both the man and his monster have received international acclaim since the September 2006 release of Close to Paradise in Canada. The first-ever release on Secret City Records (based out of the bands native Montreal), Close to Paradise propelled Patrick Watson quickly into stardom; it went gold in Canada, and won numerous awards, including Canadas prestigious Polaris Prize. The album saw international release in September 2007, and the band hasnt looked back, selling over 100,000 copies worldwide. Since then Patrick Watsons fanbase seems to have grown exponentially, with the live show now commanding huge audiences across the world, from Paris, to Reykjavik, Amsterdam, London, New York, and of course, Montreal, where Watson and most of the band still resides.
Despite the internationally demanding schedule, Watson himself also found time to contribute to Cinematic Orchestras 2007 album, Ma Fleur, and to compose scores and songs for a number of films—something he has always had a passion for. It should come as no surprise then, that the bands music is often described as cinematic and wildly eclectic. In fact, this aspect of their sound can be traced back to Watsons earliest musical days. While he was honing his angelic voice at age seven singing in local churches on the West Island of Montreal, he also grew up studying classical and jazz piano performance, arrangement, and composition. His first recording project was an experimental suite of music set to a series of photographs by Quebec artist, Brigitte Henry. To this day you can still hear a composers ear behind even the bands most accessible pop songs.
Watson met guitarist Simon Angell in their hometown of Hudson, Quebec while they were barely teenagers, and the two have collaborated ever since—Angells soundscapes and noise-influences having developed into the perfect complement to Watsons colourful melodic compositions and gut-wrenching falsetto. Then, while studying music at Vanier College in the late-nineties, Patrick had met Ukrainian-born Mishka Stein, and Swiss/British Columbia ex-pat Robbie Kuster, who were increasingly invited to fill out his rhythm section when performing live shows (with Angell having long-since become a permanent fixture). Though still Watsons project, an informal residency at the legendary Café Sarajevo and an eerie live chemistry between the four musicians quickly led to more group writing and a growing word-of-mouth fanbase.
Just Another Ordinary Day was self-released in 2003 as a result, and stands as a kind of snapshot of a band in formation, highlighting the bands penchant for dreamy soundscapes (echoing Sigur Ros, Bjork and Radiohead), with Watsons voice as the centerpiece. Through 2004 and 2005 buzz on the bands live shows lead to performances with an impressively diverse group of artists, from Phillip Glass and Steve Reich, to Feist. In the summer of 2006, they even invited on a European tour with the late James Brown, a fitting last leg to the first chapter of their story. Close to Paradise was released immediately after, in September 2006.
Patrick Watson and his bandmates spent most of the latter half of 2008 in Montreal recording the follow-up to Close to Paradise—Wooden Arms, which will be released in spring 2009.

If you cannot afford to purchase an animal, you cannot afford to look after it. Pets are expensive, the purchase price is the least of it.
