Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Yeah, screw that! I've been nabbed by conures (green cheeks, suns, jendays, etc) and even just play bites they hurt. Heck, even parakeets hurt like hell sometimes! I know I would NOT wanna take even a play bite from a cockatoo or similar hookbill. Yikes!
People must think we're crazy being more afraid of a pretty bird instead of the big, mean snake.

I had a blue and gold macaw that I gave to my brother so I can agree, parrots are nothing to take lightly. Mine has rarely bitten hard, but at times I was surprised to find my finger intact. I have seen him shred 2x4's so if he gets really mad we give him space.
For the record the only animals Steve Irwin ever admitted being afraid of were birds....that oughta say something....

Haha, Steve was my hero growing up. You could tell he truly cared about animals. He was the real deal! I think we all knew an animal would kill him, I just expected something a little scarier than a stingray.

A croc, a snake, a lion, a shark, a spider. Something associated with being deadly. You can go to Sea World and pet the stingrays.
