Just a nice story

[PetoftheDay]

for you Cockatoo folks. I was talking the other day with a member of our church choir, Maria, and we were talking for some reason about phobias people had. She said when she was a child, she was afraid of birds, all birds. And as she grew up in a fairly rural area, there were many birds, and she would burst into tears if a crow even cawed at her. She doesn't remember why or when the fear started, she was never attacked by a bird or anything.

Well, when she was 6, her parents had a great idea. Maria was - and still is - a very girly girl/woman. Her parents found someone with a Moluccan Cockatoo that was friendly, so they took Maria to see it. He was so pretty, and huge (to her) and gosh darn it, he was pink! She couldn't be afraid of something pink! She worked up her courage to even touch his feathers, and that pretty much cured her bird phobia!

LOL... I love pink, too, but a PINK spider still wouldn't get me to go anywhere near it... I won't even go near a dead one... lol

Great story. I've used my birds to help folks overcome their fear of birds by showing them how gentle, loving and sweet they are. LOL 'bout the pink spider!

How about a pink snake? Keep in mind she's about the size of a pencil right now ...

Okay - I'll put the link instead of the actual picture ...

I Daww'd so hard over this lol A pink spider would be weird. I know a species of tarantula is a pale pink. I can't remember the species name :/

We had a rose hair tarantula but she was really more brown than pink, and then there are pink toes, but only the ends of their legs are pink. Found this one, second one down, it's beautiful! Pamphobeteus platyomma photo | tarantula care
