I'd need to know more about it's behavior and what it's doing and how bad it's mutilating, in order to help you!!
I specialize in the Cockatoo species and the behavior. Message me and we can work on a solutionAny advice for a sulpher crested cockatoo that is self mutilating?
First is get this bird vet checked and a CBC to rule out this being a health problem.
Be sure he is eating a healthy avian diet daily.
Provide lot's of fun and interesting toys for distraction as well
as personl one on one time with you or his favorite person.
Make sure the cage is big enough for him and have several perch's, wood, a Sandy perch and even a rop perch.
Join a yahoo group for plucker's and do some goggle.com search's for web site for plucker's and mutilater's.
Also should consider that maybe a collar could help, the soft one's.
Has anything in the home/his life changed?
New bird, dog or cat, or person? Observe carefully to what he does right before and after plucking himself to gain insight to the big question WHY. Health/stress/habit?
Type in Self Mutilating, then go read for help and tips-
http://www.birdsnways.com/Any advice for a sulpher crested cockatoo that is self mutilating?
How sad, and thank you for trying to help your bird instead of just giving him/her away. Anyway, I think you DEF. need a DIFFERENT avian vet! Any doctor that just says the bird is hormonal and needs prozac is NOT a good dr. There are TONS of different reasons birds can and do self mutilate and there are an equal number of great techniques to help your bird. Please, find another vet and don't give up. If you need help finding a good avian vet, you can look at Bird Talk magazine (or there website) or even contact one of the best avian vets in the country who is frequently featured in Bird Talk - his name is Dr. Burkett - he is in NC - he runs the Birdie Boutique in Durham, NC. Even if this isn't where you are located, you can email him for information and/or vet ideas! Good luck! :-)
Birds that self-mutilate are usually going slowly insane and the cause is a cage that's too small and a life that is too boring. It's a bit like bears in a zoo that begin by just standing and swinging their heads from side to side and they slowly go crazy from boredom. They then usually attack and kill their keepers. Birds, however, will just hurt themselves.

What advice would you give your best girlfriend if she were traveling alone for the first time?
If you have traveled alone before and learned from the experience what advice (besides safety first)would you give your best (girl)friend if she were heading out to the big open for the first time alone?What advice would you give your best girlfriend if she were traveling alone for the first time?
Tell her to chum up with other young ladies who are also traveling alone, or at least to sit near other women in bus stations/on trains. Also, one thing I did when traveling alone at night on trains was to put a plastic bag on the inside of the door handle so that I could sleep. That way, if someone opened the door I would hear the plastic bag making that crinkling noise and I would wake up. Sometimes I'd also put a second plastic bag on the floor where someone would step on it, thereby making noise or slipping! I was a paranoid sleeper on trains, ha ha. Tell her that many women have done it before and she will be fine. I was SO scared before I left and it's a crazy thing to do, but what an amazing experience and a great chance to learn about herself and become more independent. People give me props all the time for doing it, so it's going to get her some free lunches for the rest of her life just having people want to hear about it. :)What advice would you give your best girlfriend if she were traveling alone for the first time?
I would tell her to keep track of her money. Also, keep her money and anything valuable, such as a cellphone, in the front pockets of her jeans. It is much easier to take a purse than jeans.
Aso she should carry something with her at all times that can be used in her defense if anything happens. Anything simple will do, I have a pocket knife, my sister has mace... Almost anything can work.
The most important thing is probably to keep track of herself, where she is and where she's going. It's too easy to get lost in a new place, and you want to avoid asking some random person on the street. If she does need to ask someone, a policeman or a woman would do.
always carry a phone around with you.
Don't be in an area in an airport where hardly any people are.
They always have some peope kidnapped in those areas.

Well sometimes my grandma is nice but sometimes she can be a jerk can you please give me some advice?
she thinks shes queen of the houseWell sometimes my grandma is nice but sometimes she can be a jerk can you please give me some advice?
Do you live with your Grandmother or does she live with you? If she lives in your home then being queen of the house is not the option. She is in your territory and therefore should respect your space. If she gives you smart remarks, calls you names or shouts at you a simple ';Grandma';! with a look of dissapointment and hurt to accompany it would let her know what she's doing without you physically needing to have a sitdown. If you live with her then the question is what can you do to help make her invasion of privacy less stressful. Elders always demand respect as was how they were brought up. If she senses any disrespect coming from you then an attitude from her might be the way she defends her stance. Try looking at it from her view and then try and come up with solutions on how you can make the situation a little better for you AND her.Well sometimes my grandma is nice but sometimes she can be a jerk can you please give me some advice?
maybe she is the queen of the house?
everyone has their faults, and we can all be a little annoying at times. yes, even you an me.
so, accept grandma for the person she is, and move forward with your own life.

Any advice you can give on someone who wants to start being an artist?
I'm really interested in trying the visual arts - painting, drawing, sculpting, using oil pastels, crayons, watercolor, etc, but I don't know how to start and I don't know anything about the materials. Perhaps some of you know a good site or book, or can give me advice on how I can start? Thanks!Any advice you can give on someone who wants to start being an artist?
Wow, you sound so much like me! I'm all over the place with it, too!
I started with colored pencils. I didn't really have a clue, but bought a sketchbook and a basic set of Prismacolor pencils and just played and played with them. Prismacolor has a great website for their products:
http://www.prismacolor.com/sanford/consu鈥?/a>
There are tons of sites. About.com has great tips for painting and drawing. Or, just type ';free online art techniques'; or ';how to use oil pastels'; (or whatever media interests you) into your browser and see what you get!
If you're interested in taking a class and have the time for it, definitely do so. Also make sure you have at least a basic understanding of color theory. You can learn that online as well, but you'll get a better idea of how colors behave once you actually start working with them.
And practice as much as you can. Try to at least sketch something every day, even if it's just a scribble on a scrap of paper while you're standing in line at the grocery.
One small piece of advice ... avoid watercolors until you take a class or really know what you're doing. You'd think they'd be so simple, right! They can be very frustrating. OK, maybe that's just me ... ? Anyway, have fun ... and Good Luck!Any advice you can give on someone who wants to start being an artist?
JUST DO IT!!!! No one can train/tell you how to be an artist it just happens. I started painting years ago and it was not good but with practice I was able to do my own thing and figure out techniques that help me. Keep on keeping on girl!
Use the internet or go to the library and get some books on the history of the use of whichever mediums you are interested in. Pick the names of artists that mastered techniques in that type of art, and use it for inspiration to start your own work. You could try doing reproductions/copies first if that helps.
It's usually easiest to start with pencil drawings first then slowly trying out pastels, acrylic paints, and oil paints (watercolour is a bit of a toughy--you might want to save that for later on). I personally thinking you can start sculpting at any time. Working with clay is one of my favourites, but for that you'll need proper resources such as a kiln to fire the dried pieces.
Make sure to learn the basics in whatever you choose (i.e. how to mix colours if you want to learn painting, or studying anatomy and proportions if you want to do figure drawings or portraits), again through either books or online tutorials (there's plenty if you know how to use search engines properly). You might even want to join an online artists group like deviant art or gfxartist or example, so that you can get critiques and comments on your art which will help you improve much faster. This is especially important if your town/city doesn't offer many art classes or if you don't have any contacts with people skilled in art.
It would be a very good idea to keep a sketchbook on you, to scribble down any ideas or thoughts as your creative juices flow. Also, if you're serious about this and it's not just a passing interest, don't cheap out on materials unless you're on a very tight budget, because they certainly do affect how good your end result is.
With all that said, good luck on your endeavors! :)
Start out simply with something you are most drawn to, such as pencil sketching or making jewelery. From there, you should be able to figure out what type of art interests you most and which you are more inclined to want to stay with. Most of all, please yourself with what media you choose.
nice. buy a sketchpad and do some sketches , copy some pictures from magazines..:)
try to color your sketchings using color pencils
if you think your improving then try water color ..
keep practicing! you sure will be a good artist!
read tons and tongs of books regarding artist personally i would say impressionist. Claude Monet all the way baby
I always think classes are best. Any class in your area would be good. BUT remember to practice practice practice. Work on your own style too. and remember your art won't look like everyone else's either. That was my problem at first I want to draw just like other people. You can try just drawing something from real life. Trees, people, any still life. Your brain works differently when you draw from real life.
take lessons great way to start learn about the materials and techniques some times learning on your own can get frusterating and you will give up easier but if you get lessons and learn proper technique it may come quicker
c
Take some classes if you can. There are lots of art books out there. You can find low cost books from the internet, Other than that get you some artist paint, and some brushes and some pictures or photo to practice from. I suggest using acrylic paint to begin. You can get it at Walmart and or/ Hobby Lobby. Hobby Lobby also gives classes. Also watch some of the art lesson on Saturday in some tv stations. Another place is , look on youtube.com for painting lessons. Good luck

What advice can you all give to a person who is getting ready to talk to a military recuiter?
Specifically for a person getting ready to talk to a navy recruiter. I've heard that they can be pretty pushy about joining immediately.What advice can you all give to a person who is getting ready to talk to a military recuiter?
First of all, I want to commend you on considering the military. I am also considering enlisting in the Navy. Presently, I don't know anyone who has talked to a recruiter and said that they weren't ';pushy';. Some recruiters have told people to look into another branch because of their interests. My best advice for you is to get everything you want guaranteed in writing and signed by your recruiter. If they won't do it it probably means that they can't. If you have a friend, bring him/her with you to back up everything the recruiter tells you, and also to talk to afterwards. Update all of your friends and family on what you are feeling/thinking about the military. Your family and friends have nothing to gain by you joining the military, your recruiter does. Make sure you are sure about joining the military. Good luck in whatever you do! I live in Kansas (same area) as well, might see you at the recruiting office someday.What advice can you all give to a person who is getting ready to talk to a military recuiter?
Dont talk to the recruiters they will seriously tell you anything that you would wanna here. Anyone that was or is in the military bcan tell you that. Legally a recruiter is not supposed to lie. But doesnt mean that they will tell you everything they know trust me.
most recruiters are, only cause SO MANY people change their minds or let other people talk them out of it, or they get scared and don't come back or stuff like that.
If you just want to see what's available and take the asvab... then tell them that straight up. Tell them the truth on everything- they'll find out anyway, so it's better to be honest. Just have a backbone and tell them if you change your mind... or want to wait.
the same advice i would give to a person attending a time share sale pitch:
take the free stuff, and whatever you do dont sign anything
First be sure that is what you want to do. This is a time of conflict and yes you will be sent away from home.
Second, know what you want to get into (in regards to jobs in the navy) before you talk to them. If you don't like what they show you tell them to pound sand. Never be afraid to walk out and never let them talk you into doing anything you don't want to do.
Look for jobs with high opportunity for advancement quickly. If you can talk to some one who has one of those jobs. Look for something that will help you in the long run. Something that will give you practical experience. Unless you are planning on staying in the Navy forever then you need to have some skill to fall back on.
Not everyone can fly fighter planes or be a Navy Seal.
Lastly and most importantly. Get everything they say in writing. If they won't sign their name to it then walk away.
you are entering the military.....what do you expect...do you think you are going to be selling washing machines ?????you enter the military to be a soldier.....you go to war, you kill or be killed. it is that simple
They are recruiters, after all, so they are hoping to ';sell'; you on the career opportunity in the military. You need to have a game plan, in the sense of what are you looking for as a career....and don't back down from that issue. That is the key and don't take a ';promise'; or another possible post.....it is your career, and hopefully you can accomplish this goal with the Navy. If it's impossible - and you want to be on water - then you may want to consider the Coast Guard.
Tell the recruiter the truth. Don't hide any of your shortcomings.
Go in with the attitude ';I want to serve my country. How can your branch of service help me serve my country better?'; Focus on what *you* can offer the Navy/Army/Marines/Air Force/Coast Guard rather than asking ';What's in it for me?';.
The recruiter's job is to make you see the good stuff in the Navy. If you have a good one he'll tell you the bad stuff if you ask but he'll still play up the good stuff. You hold all the cards though as your signature is what they want. Don't let an overaggressive recruiter sour you on the military if you think it would be a good deal for you. It's not all fun and games but for the right person with the right mindset it can be a stepping stone to a great career.
Do you offer college courses for career members?
Can I major in, e.g., business courses (or your desired major to earn a degree in) while in the Navy?
What training programs can I join which I can earn credit recognized by colleges?
What colleges can I attend while serving inside/outside the U.S.A?
I assume that you are still young. If so, take one of your parents with you each time you talk with the recruiter, if possible, take dad. Recruiters are a little less pushy when a father is sitting there.
Also, GET EVERYTHING IN WRITING!!!!!, don't buy that song and dance about ';they'll take care of that later';. If its not in writing in your enlistment contract, don't count on it happening!
Take your time, don't be in a rush, and DON'T LET THEM RUSH YOU! Don't fall for the talk of ';this is only good for today or tomorrow';. You are making a BIG decision here, take your time, write down your questions, make sure your questions are answered to your satisfaction before signing anything.
And good luck!
sure can...my brother wasnt sure and now he's in iraq. they make everything seem better than it really is. he told me if i see one to shot him...he was j/k but he wished he went to college instead
It's like buying a car--the recruiter is a sales guy.
Make him talk to you about intangile things, not benefits. I joined the Marines because all the other services wanted me to focus on tuition, retirement, bonuses--it made me ill.
The Marine acted like he'd rather I didn't join. He wanted men, not just warm bodies. He had me at ';What the hell do you want?';

Make sure it is profitable. Take account of all your costs and your salaries. Keep some money in the business if possible. You might need it for stock etc. Make sure you have the right partner.
there are tons of books - go to any book store and look in the business section - also lots of magazines on starting and running businesses
you need a lot of traffic to get the business. try a mall.

I am trying to train my 3 year old girl to stay dry at night to no avail any advice would be great?
3 is a good age to be potty trained in waking hours but seems a little young to always stay dry at night. Medically, young children sleep very soundly and so have not developed the ability to wake up and know they need to go. My daughter was about 4 when we starting working on making her stay dry all night because by then I knew she could tell she needed to go and would go in her pants because it was easier. If you don't want her to wet the bed, use Easy Ups at night time. Just tell her they are night time panties for big girls and continue to encourage her to use the potty if she can, but don't chastise her for wetting in her sleep. I honestly don't know she is old enough yet.I am trying to train my 3 year old girl to stay dry at night to no avail any advice would be great?
No please don't listen to the quack who probably has no kids!! I have two girls and I trained them both at 18 months. The trick is to have he/she on a routine at night also. Limit drinks as least a hour and a half before bed.and the most annoying part is getting her up in the middle of the night. Make sure its the same time every night by like maybe 2 weeks or so she her body will self adjust and he/she will be able to get up by themselves or be dry by the end of the night.I am trying to train my 3 year old girl to stay dry at night to no avail any advice would be great?
Stop the drinks at least 2-3 hours prior to her bedtime. Maybe you could sleep with her and help her get out of bed when it's time!
Try to decrease liquid intake at night time, then let her go to washroom before going to bed.
try cutting off all the fluids at a certain time every night and waking her up after a couple hours of sleep. before long she wont wet anymore. i have also tried the bribing method as well and that worked for me too. my daughter wanted care bear sheets. so i told her i would buy them for her when she quit wetting during the night. stickers worked well for my oldest. i made up a fun chart with her help and we set goals. every night that she went without wetting she got a sticker. after so many stickers than she could go with me to the store and get something for all her great work.
good luck, hope this helps
This is what I did (and still do)
No liquids for 1.5 hrs before bed and make them use the potty right before bedtime, even if they ';just try'; (they usually go)
This should do the trick.....but always place a plastic sheet under the regular one just to be safe :-)
When my daughter was 3 I started to train her at night. She would go to the bathroom right before bed and I would put her to sleep with her panties on~ reminding her not to wet them. While she was asleep I would put her diaper/pullup on. As soon as she woke I would bring her to the bathroom. When she woke up and her diaper/pull up was dry I started to keep her panties on all night. I was kinda weaning her off her diapers. It worked for her... Id say a couple months and she was done.
No liquid after supper - just sips if she's dying of thirst. See how she does, and move back the time if she's doing better.
She's 3 and may just be a little young yet for that. To help though, cut off all liquids a couple hours before bedtime and make sure she goes right before going to bed. Give her some time, she'll get there.
I guess I got lucky that my 3 year old doesn't have bedtime accidents, but yea, make sure to cut out fluids and have them urinate and stuff right before bed.
If anything, also get mattress protector pad so that way the mattress doesn't get ruined.
we're just starting with our three year old for about 2 weeks ago and she's only wet once what we do is straight after tea she goes straight to the toilet then she gets her pj's on reads a book etc and just before we turn out the light sit her on again evan if she says no i don't need to toilet we take her anyway and she always does wee goes to bed and wakes up dry and we leave undies on her not the nite pull ups cos other wise she knows she's got a nappy on and just goes in it but with undies she thinks she's all grown up hope i could help good luck
For our child we bought a unit which has a pad that goes in the diaper/pants at night which sets off an alarm when it senses moisture. It wakes the child and you as soon as they start.
Lots of kids have this issue. Keep her in pull-ups at night. She will outgrow it. Withholding liquids is not right. Just make her go before bed.
you can do anything but you do know that it take lonfer to master nite time potty training than day traning
Why? She's only three. Maybe her system just isn't ready yet.
Not gonna happen. She's only three, her bladder isn't that well developed.
Prolly more time... get some pull-ups... she will stop soon enough.
No liquids after 6 pm and if you do give it to her, you will have to wake her in the middle and put her on the toilette. Run water to get her to let it flow.
Thats the on ly way.
