Let's get to know each other a little bit? - Page 6

Ya,  I have the real birds. LOL   Not in cages or anything but they congregate on my mountain and never leave they end up being tame. I feed them beef and chicken everyday and they have their babies here. 4 are trained and I'm working on the rest.

BabyEagle, last time I looked, it was called the BALD Eagle, not the American Eagle! We have 'em up here in Canada, too, you know...

And the last time I saw one, it was following along behind an osprey, hoping to steal itself a free lunch.  If I'd been American, I would have been wanting to replace it with something else as the national symbol!

Anyway, WAY COOL hobby! WOW!

There's two types of Native American Eagles the Bald and Thunderbird, I have both here and the Thunderbirds are way bigger in size and most have a solid body compared to the Bald.  It's my pleasure to have them around.

Don't worry about the kids.  They are highly overrated.  Kind of like heroin.  If you have never do it, then you won't miss it/them.  Once you try it/them, you are hooked and bound till you die. 

Sunsiver:   The American Eagle is not only the Bald Eagle , our National Bird , but consists of other species of the Eagle family that are true to the North American Continent....the Golden Eagle seen in the pic I posted is a part of the American Eagle  so I assun Baby4 eagle has different kinds of American Eagles....like when you say I havae a Cadillac   there are 15 different kinds of Cadillacs.

WOW, I just got home from my 2 days away and opened up the forum right away, as usual, lol. It's great that so many of you went along with this and posted about yourselves.  It's nice to know the people behind the name : - } 

pietowndogs and others, thanks for the great comments about this thread.  I've only been on this forum for a few months, I think and as you all see, I am not afraid to say what I think, most of the time, or post something that I would really like to know about.  Can't find out unless you ask, right ? ; -}}}  Thanks again all.  Keep posting, this is fun, lol.

My shock of this posting is  that    THE DON     is a woman   .......amazing discoveries lay behind the screen of a computor ...

How many of you knew Don was female??????? One of my favorite posters......I have always suspected that Don was in Schutzhund as a Judge or a trainer or has trained and titled a few gsds......
