http://www.parrotlinks.co.uk/ This is another one. One of these sites is free which is what you want really, you can just chat and people will help you.

Firstly, how old are you? This will determine whether or not you can take direct access. How long have you had your car licence and do you have a provisional bike licence? The best place for this question is motorcycle news, as they have all the links to point you in the right direction, but yes you are right it is getting more and more difficult to get your licence.

I have an African Grey parrott named Maverick. I have had him since a chick and he has been hand-reared. When we first got him he was really friendly, he would come out of his cage at every opportunity, sit on your shoulder, clean hubby’s teeth (disgusting!) and was a really lovely parrot that we loved dearly. However, he is now the nastiest feathery bastard you will ever meet!! Hubby and I are not completely sure why he suddenly turned, as it was a case of one day lovely and cute next night vicious sod. The only connection we can make is that a couple of days before his change a man had come into our house to do some tiling when we were not present. We can only assume that he shouted or maybe shock the cage because Maverick now does not want to come out his cage or socialize and if you try to get him out you have had it. Just come back from a holiday and picked him up from my mums house neither hubby nor I dare transfer him from his travel cage to his normal one. Eventually he climbed out of his own will, but bit the f**k out of hubby’s hand when we needed to pick him up. Eventually he flew onto his big cage and I flicked him in with a duster, which really pissed him off and I am sure has made the matter worse. It maybe that your bird has suffered some sort of trauma without you knowing it and is frightened. I have read that when a parrot bites you should not pull away fast but shove your finger further in. Hubby not willing to try this as yet. I am no parrot expert (obviously), but would suggest you try not to appear scared but be firm. If you stop trying to coax him out he will only get worse – I appreciate this is easier said than done cause they are more than capable of taking the top of your finger off. There are a couple of parrot website where experts are more than happy to give proper advice, I will find the links and post them on here for you and let me know what they say cause I will have to do the same for ours. In the meantime good luck!

Ok, this thread seems to be getting out of hand. I thought that me fellow members would have a little more trust that I would not start a thread that would either cost mega bucks or be a scam. Jake, I did mention cost as has someone else at the beginning of the thread and I am not trying to rig a competition just asking for a bit of help to get her votes up. As for a comment about a model you have never seen, I have posted the link and her picture for you to vote if you feel you would like to help. As I have already stated, I respect peoples opinion I just don't like rudness it is unecessary (if the cap fits wear it!). Now here's wholly orginal for you, check this link for a newspaper article regarding this young lady, I do not make up stories to get votes, I only give you the facts. I think it is sad that an innocent thread can go so wrong, it was not intended.

This is just a nasty comment and as I have said don't vote unless you want to but don't be horrible in your comments.

I just want to say that I have been extremely shocked by some of the reply’s I have had to this thread. Where as some of you may have a valid point that I respect you do not have to vote unless you wish to. Some of the comments been made are dam right rude and insulting and therefore unnecessary. This young lady was in hospital for three weeks having suffered horrendous injuries from some reckless car driver and it is a miracle that she is alive let alone being able to model. I am a strong believer of the old saying “if you cannot say anything nice, don’t say anything at all”.

Congratulations x

She is already in the top 100 which started with 15,000 applicants - if she gets the most votes she automatically gets through to the final, however if not I am sure that she will get through anyway and she deserves to. You do not have to vote unless you want to and to be honest with comments like that she could do without your vote!!! Thanks to those who have kindly voted, it is appriciated x

I should be working now but this bloody site keeps distracting me:)

Text cost is one pound plus local rate.

This is a genuine request guys the competition is with devinity models and the web address is: - http://www.divinitymodels.co.uk/FaceOfDivinityHeatCentral.htm Laura is in 2nd place at the moment for her heat (central).

It looks great, my hubby is going to do mine for me soon I think it finishes the look off nicely

I like it when they roll into a ball, they look like something out of mad max.

Hi Everyone I have a little favour to ask - I am the offical sponser for a young lady who is in a modelling competition and she needs your vote. She is doing really well so far as she is in the top 100 which started with 15,000 models. There is a little story that goes with her in that she had a really bad car accident less than a year ago where some bloke run her down at 55mph which has left scars, she thought she would never persue her dream as a model so this is proving otherwise. To vote for Laura please send a text to 60777 with the text (CENTRAL 136). Cheers everyone, every vote counts. Jenny x
