Ya, didn't think the Picture was gonna be that BIG,
But, she (Jenny) is a VERY gentle giant. She is a sweet heart, very mild mannered.
But U get her Pissed and watch out for that beak. She cracks open Macadamia nuts with one "POP". A knuckle would be nothing...

I’m sorry but yes it did because the waste water goes straight into the toilet and sewage treatment center and back into the Mississippi River.

I happen to live in the Mississippi River watershed and emailed our watershed district and its scientists and they said while my aquarium obviously was a minor contributor compared to salting roadways, it nonetheless was adding salt to the local water supply because our municipal water treatment plant did not desalinate wastewater.

Their scientists told me the only way I could avoid contributing was to let my waste water sit in a large shallow tub in the sun so the freshwater would evaporate and I could throw the remaining salt away in the solid waste garbage.

Sure, I was only contributing a tiny amount but I wanted to do my part to reduce my impact. It’s just one of many decisions I’ve made to help the planet, and I’m a big believer in people doing whatever they can — however small the gesture — to help the planet, animals and each other.

I live in Minnesota and our city even recommends that people sweep up the salt they use on icy sidewalks after the ice melts to reduce its impact on our freshwater supply.

I’m not sure why you feel the need to be confrontational and lord your “knowledge” over people. You sure like to make assumptions and trot your attitude around.

If more of us would do what we can, like you, it wouldn't be such small potatoes. I recycle, that's my small contribution.

I am a fish keeper, and I have had experience with fish for over 5 years. I have spent so much money on my fish keeping hobby, as I am an intermediate fish keeper. How about you? What is your favorite hobby that you have spent most on?

I've been cobbling things out of wood (and other stuff) since I was 12. For me, it's woodworking. I don't even want to know about the money. I'm shopping for a building or Barn right now to hold my shop and my office at our new place.

P.S. was part of the bird club too. This is my wife and Clara Bell ( Yellow Nape) at the vet couple of years ago.
