iatd Posted October 26, 2014 Hey Pimento you crazy cat, This may violate the rules because its probably considered illegal. Anyway, about a month ago my work took me to an undisclosed chicken farm west of Brisbane. There was no one around and my curious nature got the better of me. I thought I heard a strange noise coming from inside one of the buildings and upon investigation this is what I saw. https://www.dropbox.com/s/z27w61453bn3qyt/VIDEO0058.mp4?dl=0 I figured since there were dead chicks around they wouldn't mind if I 'liberated' one. Since I don't have my own coup I gave it to a friend. Rocky is one lucky chicken and I now living the free range life he was meant to. I would have loved to save them all, but I would have been fired surely if found out. I'm hoping the moral victory is enough to overcome the illegality of my actions. td 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lindsay Posted October 30, 2014 saved a crow today and I felt good about it. ok before anybody says "what a crow", no a raven. ravens are the smartest bird in the sky. they are smarter than pigs and dogs and as smart as monkeys. well this guy was not that smart today. found him in the bottom of a 200 litre plastic drum we keep milk in for the calves, up to his shoulders in milk, looking like a drowned rat. He must have been getting the dry crusty bits of milk that was sticking to the sides and slipped in. he was looking quite tired and greasy from fat in the milk. so i grabbed a bottle of water from the car, that had warmed up from sitting in there all day and washed, what crap of I could off. still to wet to fly I sat him on a fence post to dry in the sun and get his energy back. I am not going into this cool give away because A. i have no proof and B. there are cooler things to be done. like selling or giving away fresh vegies out of a car boot in Woolworths car park. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coolname Posted October 30, 2014 Pimento you should change the name of this thread to 'what kind things have you done for birds'. I'm not trying to have a go at anyone, just find it amusing that pretty much every reply (including mine) has to do with birds 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spooge Posted October 31, 2014 I'll chuck in $20 if its going to Nailthesnail. gotta redeem myself on this forum. make up for all the ranting. Good onya man, if he does 'win' can you please forward the $20 to him or to who the 'winner' is Everyone is being so kind and it is inspiring, so seeing as I will be moving houses soon and wont have any room to grow anything I will also chuck in a nice variety of seeds from my collection to the winner.Lophs, Trichs, catha, brugmansia, desmanthus, acacia etc.Keep the posts/ cool deeds coming Cool, nice thing to do Ethos, could you also contact the winner and send them seeds if theres an issue sending them to OS if the "winner' is OS, then maybe they could go to the runner up.................

I had asked NTS to post here when the hunj from myself and the very generous anonymous member arrived. So there is no confusion the anonymous member that donated the extra hunj is not Machineelf. I've also asked NTS to post here when prizes from others have arrived so we know alls been delivered.

FancyPants Posted January 13, 2015 Maybe we could start a twice-yearly comp, kinda like a scholarship prize as reward for doing positive things with ethnobotanicals? A grant, that's what I'm getting at more or less... Whoever wants to donate however much wouldn't matter or be expected and we'd all get to vote on who deserved each round. Just an idea, but there's no way I'd organise or it just wouldn't happen... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
