[Ratzy]

Back to school tomorrow. On the other hand, I've already worked out what critters I'm going to terrify my classmates and teacher with!
1# Frog Spawn & Tadpoles
2# Stick Insects
3# Spider ( Need to find a really big huntsman, sorry Beilana )
4# Yabby
5# Fish
6# Frog
And that is as far as I've gotten lol. By the way, this is a huntsman..

Once I brought a bat to school.... teacher wasn't very happy but the bat was asleep.

Glad I'm not in your school
How did it go with your teacher's bird that you were bird sitting?

lol Ratzy!

What are you like......

I wish one of my classmates was like you when I was 12!

What used to freak us out at school were the positively ANCIENT jarred "specimans".

Piranah's and eels and weird fish/insects preserved in a jar. Eeeew.

 

[Ratzy]

Don't think we have tiger slugs Dj. What we DO have is monster sized slugs ( they come out at night, if I go barefoot... eww ). Izzy had a great time, free reign of my bedroom and some fresh gum leaves. Hmmmm... jarred critters. Will work on that. There are always plenty of massive leaches about. Maybe a possum would be going too far though? A mouse?

lol Ratzy, class must be fun with you around

ah, good old huntsman, school memories. I remember on camps the huntsman used to own the dorm rooms lol. Always wake up, turn on the torch and there would be one staring at you . Wasn't so much fun when you found one in your tent though lol.

Wahahahaha...Ratzy - your a legend!!!! You crack me up - hahahahaha...you go gal!!!! WAIT A MINUTE!!! Im a teacher but would love to have as many animals in my class - not snakes though - love them but am very scared of them We get this insect here that stink - not sure if you guys/gals get it your side but bring a box of them into the class and no amount of washing your clothes will get the smell out :54:

When I was in matric - last year of school I was boarding at the school and had my lovebird staying in the boarding house (It was a small school that spe******ed in horse subjects and riding). I used to put him into my jersey and take him to school. One day a teacher saw him stick his head up and she took him away from me - I told her that was NOT a good idea but she wouldnt listen. She placed him on her desk and carried on with the lesson. When we were working she put her face close to his to talk to him and he took a chunk off the tip of her nose - that brought the whole class into hysterics - he was an instant celebrity...she never said anything after that when he hopped out to help me with my work!!!! He loved everyone else except for her - wonder why??? He even would growl at her and chase her along the desk when she came near me or my friends sitting next to me - made school so much more bearable

You should sleep girl, you have lots of scarring to do when you get to school!

 

[Ecclipse]

Hey Ratzy, how was your first day back? LOL - I spent my whole school career wanting to get it over with then I became a teacher - lol!!!! Funny how life turns out

Ratzy,
I just wanted to thank you for your contributions to the forum. Not only do you share a fresh perspective and champion the cause of keets, but you are quick to offer the benefit of your experience. You are a real asset!

 

[Ratzy]

School went well, at the moment I'm letting everybody fall into a false sense of security. My frog spawn has hatched,so instead I'm bringing in my pet stick insects.

 

[bogo1]

I am infinitely grateful that I do not share classroom space with you!!!!!

Ratzy your a freak lol

 

[Bobby34231]

Yeah, but she's our beloved little freak

 

[Dj tweet]

To right and were glad to have her

Everything is sorted about the stick insects.. they are coming in tomorrow. I had to ask my teacher ( who is my dad ) first because they are pets ( don't worry, I'm not asking about the huntsman ). Another teachers wants me to show them to her class. I like this teacher. She lets me help her with her rescued animals. Once she found a sparrow with a deep gash around half of it's neck. I nursed it for a few hours and stopped the bleeding. Tweety was able to be released after about a week. I NEED to find a huntsman, preferably a large female. They are most active at night, I sometimes go looking for them. Last night I went tadpole watching. They are actually quite active at night. My tapoles are growing well, even in the past couple of days! Two of the older ones are ready for release. Stick insects are doing well. I colleted 9 eggs from our chooks yesterday, a few were double yolkers. Dad had collected them the day before, and we only have 5 chooks! Izzy's gone back, but I should be seeing him this week at least. Found a baby kookaburra yesterday, and had a water fight with my brother ( for some reason his water pistol doesn't work... ). We have a game, we haul a bucket of water up a tree, then we take it in turns to stand under and be soaked. It is really refreshing on hot days like today! Yes I am a freak, but I'm fun to be around.... Our house is massive, we have a trampoline, big house, massive garden, veggie patch, outside eating area, BBQ, tennis court, paddock, chook pen, sheep pens, two sheds, lots of good climbing trees, a creek, a long driveway perfect for our game of who can jump off the billy cart the best, 5 flower beds, a sand pit, a swing, next door is bush and a dam. My family is English, Finnish and Scottish. I was born in Germany and needless to say, I have been flying internationally since I was three. My Grandparent's live in England, my Grandad's a birdwatcher and Moma's ( She doesn't like being called a Granny ) called Sam because nobody can pronouce her real name. My Uncle and Aunt ( We don't usually call them uncle and aunt, just by their names ) live in France. My other uncles and aunts live in Queensland, England and Victoria, so I do get round a fair bit. I helped my Grandad place second prize in a birding comp by spotting an Egyption Goose. AND I am a rambler....
I love this forum. Everybody excepts me as a bird freak. Ha ha, sorry for that lol.
