Another reason why most people suck.

I made a visit at one of my favourite message boards and I happen to go in to this one thread about some magician wanting to buy doves and what this one magician said in one part of his post just made me want to beat him up. Sheeh, now here's part of the thread.

I am a magician and have had to work with doves on a regular basis. While on the road I keep my doves in their cages, with plenty of food and water. I never grew an attraction to my doves, so if one does in fact become ill or unable to perform its magical duties, I humanley break its neck and purchase new doves. And helping with economical matters, doves that are hungry enough will in fact eat their own fecal matter and the remains of other doves I have sacrificed.

That is very interesting Randy. But why use doves? Why not crow or magpie, or some other species that does not bond with humans like a dove. The dove is not known as the "bird of peace" for nothing, you know. I assume that in using doves, the magician is trying to pass the message to his audience that he or she has some humane qualities other than simply breaking the dove's necks when it is convenient to be rid of them or feeding them their own fecal matter to save a few dollars. Or is that too simply a part of the illusion that a magician foists on his audience?

Well, I am not yet old enough to go on the road as a traveling magician. I do not even make a career as a magician. Mind you, i do want these doves for magic, but i also want them as companions. I will take very special care of them and give them the proper attention that they need.

regarding my questions, Where have you bought your doves before?

Well it certainly speaks very well of you Mark that you see a dove as something more than a disposable creature to help you earn a few dollars. I get the impression from some of the postings on this web site from other magicians that none of them would share your willingness to take any sort of care of doves. Or perhaps any other animal as well. You may be wanting to break into the wrong line of work.

I am not sure what you mean by the wrong line of work?

And, have you ever bought a dove from this website? If you have, is it safe?

And if not, where did you buy your doves?


What the heck is the matter with these people. No matter what line of work, you don't treat living things like some throw away garbage. If any thing that is garbage are people who don't treat living things with the right kind of respect. Most likely they also treat their fellow man like that too. Like garbage. Geez can you imagine what those bone heads do to bigger creatures like chimps and things like tigers. Another reason why magicians are evil. Well that line of work is evil. I bet most are devil worshipers.

Heh and if they’re so concerned about saving money, that means that they also suck at being a magician. Because they don't have much of an audience they're obviously not making much money.

None the less what those idiots are doing is truly evil.
I hope some how and sometime in he future they will learn a good life-changing lesson to nock some sense into them. Gosh its no wonder why even circuses are being harassed by the PETA. Can you blame them considering that maybe all of show biz is like this to animals?

Yeah people suck.

Almost didn't feel like posting today. I probably should have posted this at least on a Sunday but then I really didn't feel like it. Been to occupied with other things and worrying about things that are also stupid. But what else is new. Its been raining all day but at least it wasn't too cold. Anyhow I took a few pics of the birds from the bird show that I went to on Saturday. It was a small bird show and some of the judging was still going on when I got there so they still had some of the cages turned in a certain way I guess to mark the ones they still have to judge. I also got a sample of cockatiel food out of the whole deal. Its some peletted food with an interesting smell which reminds me of bubble gum. Now I thought that birds don't have a good sense of smell so why would they need to do that. I still don't know if my birds will like the food. My 10 or so doves and one cockatiel that is.

Now here are a few of the best pics for your viewing pleasure. They're not perfect considering I really didn't have any peace when I was there but oh well.



The white cockatiel is my favorite.

On a whim after coming home with the rental for the trip to Frankenmuth for this Sunday, he goes, any one want to go to Colasante's? So we all went, just for the heck of if. If you’re wondering it’s a green house slash petting zoo slash entertainment center. I haven’t been there for a while so I guess it was kind of nice. I was better though when I was little. I had more animals and plants. Now it just has more commercialism and less warm family. Anyhow we decided to have a bite to eat and so I ended up having some of their famous fried chicken. Great I’m making my self hungry and I already brushed my teeth. Anyhow we looked around a bit and then went to the petting zoo area. They had the usual fare of barnyard animals. Lots of cute mini goats, birds and one lazy donkey. I saw the sweatiest little thing a mother hen and her chicks. I wish I still had chickens. Before that I went in the section where they have all these tropical birds and did a little bit of viewing. I also did a bit of imitating. My favorite thing is to mimic the sounds of the squawking and whistling parrots and seeing how they react. Always a barrel of laughs. I don’t think my family was impressed though because they seemed to move too quickly though the displays. I kind of wanted to take some pics but who can find the cool shots if your being rushed. In the end we ended up picking up some wild birdseeds for my doves and something for my cockatiel since the seeds were a really nice price compared to the local pet shops that I usually visit. I hope that I can get some nice pics at the bird show in the next weekend though.

I just did another one of those psychological games. Well it’s really not a game but more of a brain trainer I guess but I hate doing it. I have no choice as I mention before from that secret thing I'm doing. I'm not bad I guess, well at every thing else that it tests on, all except for short-term memory. I really hate the fact that this thing is making me feel like and idiot. I really don't need another reminder. I mean its bad enough that I have a terrible time at remembering peoples names and that I'm lousy at spelling. I'm really sick and tired at being reminded of those things. I like going beyond those areas. I feel reminders like those are kind of distracting to the things that I'm really great at. Sigh…
13 more agonising sessions to go though….
