Talk:Bird-safe

Untitled
The article tells an incorrect reason to explain the vulnerability of birds to damages based on size considerations alone. The real cause that birds are much more sensible to chemicl damage is due to their rapid metabolism, not their small size. Thus, a toxic chemical like decomposing Teflon is processed much more rapidly in the bird's organism. amclaussen. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.100.180.20 (talk) 19:39, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

Page needs list of toxic foods
And a link to parrots —The preceding unsigned comment was added by DRLounge (talk • contribs) 07:46, 29 January 2007 (UTC).

How to.
Wikipedia is not a how to or any kind of guide. This is potentially a viable article but at the moment needs a great deal of work to salvage it. Sabine's Sunbird  talk  22:19, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

"Some agriculturists recommend wing clipping..."
Shouldn't that read 'aviculturists'? --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 03:21, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * That'll teach me to accept the spellcheck promps! D'oh! Sabine's Sunbird  talk  03:23, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * No worries. I was just wondering if you were specifically referring to farmers and their poultry - or something along those lines.
 * So, what do you make of the 'Disease carriers' section? When parrots are quarantined, is it not the case that they are given a full blood work-up for infectious disease? Unless the person who wrote that section was referring to the 'put them in a cage in the next room' type of quarantine... --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 03:34, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * It is a bit vague. I'm guessing it refers to an informal quarantine imposed by the aviculturists rather than a formal quarantine imposed by the state. I don't know much about aviculture really, I just got so annoyed by this article I decided to do some slash and burn editing in order to make it more encyclopaedic and readable. Sometimes we need to remember than editing means editing, and that many overlong and badly written things in life could benefit from a lot of red ink.

Moving to Wikiversity
I think that this article should be moved to Wikiversity because it is essentially a how-to guide. The main purpose of this article was to be linked to other pet bird articles to help first-time bird owners, and I see it very hard to maintain this article as an encyclopedic entry. Btw I was the one who created this article, and I always intended it to be a "guide", first and foremost, to new bird owners. I think that it would be most appropriate to move it to Wikiversity. I'm also adding inline citations from the "External Links" section. Birdeditor (talk) 19:18, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Bird-proof
The terms "bird-safe" and "bird-proof" are used ambiguously. Compare "child-safe" - concerned with the welfare of children - rather than "childproof" meaning either "not for use by children" or "made safe for use by or around children." As with the latter, "bird-proofing" is: N.B. - I found this page in the Category:Articles needing cleanup from November 2007. The earlier comments Talk:Bird-safe and Talk:Bird-safe are still pertinent. This requires action by knowledgeable editors. -- Deborahjay (talk) 08:15, 21 May 2017 (UTC)
 * a requirement of materials used in water systems equipment for agriculture, industry and end-consumers to resist damage by wild birds (and animals).
 * a concern for exposed fishponds in aquaculture
 * a bird safety issue of technological equipment (jet engines, wind farms) positioned in wild bird habitats and flyways.


 * I removed the only remaining mention of bird-proofing as it seemed out of place. Surrealducks (talk) 19:20, 23 June 2017 (UTC)


 * I have added a dab hatnote distinguishing Bird-safe from Bird control, and have cleaned up Bird-proof and Bird proofing with a disambiguation page. Reify-tech (talk) 19:56, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
