Re: Pioneer’s Always Take the Arrows
I love what you said, Mr. Boat. I think I will be more conscious, in the future, of being mindful of unintended minds, as you described them.
I was one of those minds, I now realize. When I landed here, I was actually looking for foster-rescue possibilities for the Rb. I doubt I would ever have gone through with it, but I was Googling it. I was in a real funk, parrot-wise. I'll spare you the details: suffice to say that I was in a bad mental space over dealing with the Rb and various associated issues. When I became active here, I found a COMMUNITY, which I was lacking since moving up North from New Mexico (where parrots are quiet common... I was a member of two local parrot cubs, for example). The joy of parrot-keeping came back to me. You all did that for me.

Re: Pioneer’s Always Take the Arrows
There's no such thing as constantly smooth sailing. Always there is chop, and change in direction, tacking and sometimes a man or woman overboard. That's how it works. Yes, people can misread conversations, get wrong impressions, make up their minds, get mad, formulate resentments or prejudices. So the conversation moves on...that sounded harsh, were you intending to bash me, oh no not at all so sorry, I was getting at this, etc. Not easy to communicate without the visual feedback and tone of voice to add meaning to the words. So it's no good to remain silent hoping to avoid stirring up trouble. Just stir, and if there is trouble it can be easily resolved. Otherwise much good information might never make it into the page. I for one love to see your posts, and your words will hang around as long as the Forum does, helping those yet unmet.
