Really? Then I will release him. I will try to visit sea side soon.[emoji4]

I’m glad you are planning to do the right thing for the little one, Raqib. And I’m glad Bea was here with the right advice. I’m sure some roommates later chimed in and maybe suggested reaching out to conservationists in your area. I’m only now going through the posts. I’d really like to know what you do in the end, so please keep us posted. These creatures are too precious and have no place on the market, black or otherwise.

Everything I am is from Doctor Who, I am a creation of the series.
The other bit is nicked and adapted from the Second Doctor

I’m with the others in that the only way to help these wild caught animals is for everyone to stop buying them. The only things certain is that they will die prematurely and that the seller will continue to do so as long as they see a profit in it.

On a different (earlier) topic... @Kristoff - a UK duck feeding sign doing the rounds on facebook :)

I believe that you love that bird much. I kept birds when I was a child. Never thought about keeping birds in a cage. Today I would not keep a bird in a cage. Too less space for a wild animal that is made for having a lot of space and flying. I love watching birds living free.
I don`t want to be rude, only saying my opinion. I hope you understand this.

I had a small bird (common parakeet) as a child. We let it fly in the house once or twice a day. One day it escaped from the cage when a window was open and flew away. It broke my heart because instinctively I knew it would die outside in a climate that wasn’t native to it. I ran after the stupid thing, begging it to come back. Of course, it didn’t. Been hating birds ever since. :(

Very sad.
I had birds when younger.
Not sure i'd keep them now without a lot of space for them to fly.

Thank you, Linda! I’m surprised we don’t have signs like this here. (I should visit a few parks in Copenhagen to see if they do). Someone who lives here — and therefore, I thought, has more experience with ducks than I do — had told me rye bread is bad for them but white bread is OK. o_O I’m glad you guys know a thing or two ;) and have stopped me from contributing to duck obesity and overpopulation. :eek:

One possible contact could be the Pakistan branch of WWF http://www.wwfpak.org/aboutwwf/Contactus.php They should be able to help you release the baby safely, or maybe even offer rehabilitation facilities for it.
Enjoy the wedding, Raqib. Always a big day for the entire family.

I grew up with parrots. My mother had 2 macaws, 2 cockatoos, and 2 cockatiels. They were all captive bred, except one of macaws was an unknown because it was a rescue. They had a huge outdoor aviary that they would get turns flying in during nice weather. To properly care for a parrot is alot of work, and a huge investment of time and money. But I would love to have my own captive raised parrot one day.

Have a lovely time at the wedding. :)
The Shadi is called the Nikah here and is the actual wedding contract, the signing of certificates and the making of oaths, the legal bit.
The Valima is the big celebration and party later, which can go on all night. Great fun, lots of cakes; tea, dancing and clapping. Very tiring.
Splendid stuff, enjoy!
Yeah here its also called Nikah.

Just come back from their. Now feeling sleepy.[emoji42] Going for bed tomorrow is office.
Good night everyone, take care. [emoji173]

Make sure you check out the turtle section here on the forum for advice on how to care for red-eared sliders.
They can make good pets, but I don't know much about their upkeep myself.
I know you want to do the best for your animals. :)
Sure. I'll read.
And I've already read some forums about red eared sliders. I'll check here too.
Thanks
