Maggie has become a very dear member of our little family. Every morning I awake to the outrageously boisterous and happy whistling and singing of this beautiful soul. She knows I get up early and that I am good for breakfast.

Here she is singing along with her favourite youtube video hit...

These pics are great, so what is the story behind Maggie the bird. Is this a wild bird that comes to visit or has she become domesticated and lives with the family? What kind of bird is Maggie and how did this relationship start. And what a beautiful daughter too, amazing that Maggie can pick you out and hang out like this, and she actually watches herself on the video and sings along, wow, if you say she speaks words and does math problems with your daughter, then I think there is some real magic in the air!

Perhaps the death of GR will be apparent when we all become good deep friends, congratulating, high fiving, encouraging, supporting and lavishing praise on each other while not getting enough of listening to and loving the moderation crew? Maybe I'm the grim reaper of this forum, now best friends with Kalki and Homer, whoaa, even lending support to brother Darwin and his quest for finding association with young Jewish Russian émigré women deeply interested in learning the ins and outs of Krsna Consciousness through the tutelage of an experienced hands on sensitive kind of guy who learned more than a few good tricks by reading SDG books, evading bed bugs and being gracious enough to hate me as much as his own father, which is one of the highest forms of love a guy can get from another man unless of course you start another run on sentence while thinking about bondage maharaja and how his pets were all white young men under the age of 26 which constituted a divine love a man can have for another man which grows even more intense when the guy you think about extends incessantly twenty four hours a day seven days a week, chanting his name and envisioning his form with all your might in hopes of one day becoming his pet ... well, yes, that may indeed be the death of this forum after all?

All these new friendships sound like the poster for the new Iskcon GBC. Do you want to take a photo or something?

Thanks, Kali. Maggie is a wild bird that was rescued by a neighbour who found her lost and wandering on a roundabout. She was a very new chick - just a ball of fluff - unable to fly. As soon as she learned to fly she came to us and she has been here ever since. Maggie is an Australian Magpie (http://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/2002/07/04/2588235.htm) which is very common bird. They have very tight knit family mobs and they are very territorial - which is why Maggie will probably never be accepted by our local gang as her tribe is a couple of territories away. Even her own family will not accept her now that she is a stranger to them. During their nesting season it is dangerous to ride a bicycle near their nests as they swoop over and over again to drive you off.

This is the video that maggie loves so much. If I leave my door open she will sneak in and sit by the monitor and she seems to be waiting for her favourite video star to magically appear.

I tried to answer last night and GR crashed as I hit add reply. You must be very highly placed on the Illuminati hierarchy.

This is such a cool story, it seems like Maggie as adopted your family as its own magpie tribal one. So does maggie come at regular times of the day to visit? Do you share food with her and do you ever see here hanging out with other magpies at all?

The video of magpie going after the bicyclist helmet while worn was interesting, but it did seem to back off once the helmet was off, which was surprising.

This is the video that maggie loves so much. If I leave my door open she will sneak in and sit by the monitor and she seems to be waiting for her favourite video star to magically appear.

This is rather amazing, a wild bird who comes into the house to check out her favorite video, I wonder how many hits on that YouTube video are soley Maggies? Never underestimate the innate intelligence of our feathered and furry friends out there around us all.

Sorry to hear that you are still having problems with your computer, so it is just GR that crashes while you are on the internet? I quit the Illuminati some time ago, never did like the rules and regulations they had around the clubhouse, for they are not pet friendly what so ever, plus the bagels and hummus were just never fresh enough, and don't get me started on the babaganoush, . . . Oy!

If this keeps up we will have to find new topics to get pissed off about, or dig up the archives and find some slights to rekindle old fires, but like a good novel or movie, having a protagonist and someone to oppose or have some hurdle to jump or problem to counter is what makes stories interesting and keeps ones attention alive, wondering what is next, hhmmmm, I'm sure we can find something about something or somebody to disagree on as time goes on. Perhaps this is part of the conspiracy, new alliances in the takeover or take down of something mysterious and sinister lurking around, under or on top of the next topic and post ... for the shadows grow long as the sun and moon sets ... as all the stars glitter .... for as our founder used to say, "Glory be!"

Maggie is chased a couple of times a day by the other magpies. She is terrified by them. There is one other baby magpie that she occasionally will play with, although I have seen even this one attack her. These birds live for around 30 years so if she makes it to adulthood we will probably have a very long friendship.

One real problem is that she has no fear. I was using a chainsaw the other day and she marched right up to where I was working without any shyness of the extreme noise. She is so quick and I was a little worried that she might jump onto the chain itself. She flies onto my arm while I am cleaning the gutters while on a very tall ladder. She is such a nuisance when I have small parts on my workbench as she will play with them and sometimes she takes a special interest in a shiny bit and she will fly off with it in her beak.

I admit - I totally love her and I hope the local magpie gang don't really do her any harm. I have seen a magpie attacked by groups of twenty or more birds. One time I was certain that they were going to kill one of their victims as I watched them really launch into her. I was very surprised when she flew off after being so savagely pecked by numerous birds as she lay in a submissive posture.

I think Prisni has nailed the problem with my log in problems. My IP address is not static and some of the addresses I am allocated are blocked.

I always admire cultures that engage in a good old argument over dinner or whatever. Aussies and yanks are so averse to this for some odd reason. I believe our little world would be much better if everyone voiced their honest feelings and opinions. Keeping things bottled up is not healthy. The weird laws concerning what can and can not be said I find chilling and they make me worry a bit about what the future holds for my little children.

In America, some people say it is not good to spoil your appetite by arguing at the dinner table.

But i agree it is not healthy to suppress one's point of view nor is it healthy if others supress another persons point of view, nor do i think it is healthy if those who suppress another person's point of view, pretending they did nothing of the sort.

Don't worry Kali, your picture of the new friendships at GR don't fool me a bit. Your PMs to me and your public pledge of friendship to me are in such sharp contrast that i will be compelled to discuss things further with you. Be very careful what you wish for.

This constant scoffing of conspiracy is so boring. People in the real world are getting raped and murdered because of espionage and conspiracy, so i find it borderline violent when members make light of a topic where people are harmed for such a real thing that goes on the world.

Has this forum been renamed Kalkicussions yet? With your constant complaining, harping, hissy fitting, finger pointing and topped with a bit of mean spirited rhetorical psycho drama stepped in narcissistic dharma wrangling Kalki, we are just about there. As far as I am concerned Kalki, you are a forum troll who cannot be reached or communicated with, no matter how hard one tries. I used to think that I could communicate with you through PMs, but that did not work, then I thought communicating through talk of Buddhist dharma would click, but no,... then I simply wished you well in your life and said a friendly goodbye, but that did not work either, ... for once you feel wronged by someone, you never forgive or forget, it's all about getting back, finding some online revenge through constant trolling for posts to get back at someone, as you did again above to me, are now also doing with Prisni. As long as you cannot control your thoughts and emotions and are present here, I will find this a most unenjoyable, less creative place to be. I wish to be as far away from you and your twisted circular argumentative agenda here on this forum ... as well I can be. I actually do wish you well in your life, just so long as I do not have to be a part of it. To constantly hear about your complaints toward any moderator, past or present is just monotonous and counter productive, brings the whole place down, causing division and an overall tense psycho dramatized environment. Your personal attacks against me are ever so tiresome to have to encounter in your varied posts, it's like you troll, harass and stalk anyone you feel offended by ... forever after. I've had enough, and this time, it is truly enough and the end of the line. My life will be just that much more content and peaceful without having to read your constant harping and wished for control of this forum, so there are various ways of doing this, the best in my estimation is to leave this place and come back when you are no longer here, so until that day comes, which may indeed be never, a sad goodbye, ... but peace to all my dear friends, and fond memories to the original spirit of the forum which is slowly being choked to death by the vines of psycho babble and drama ... spreading every which way and place.

[kalki]

Has this forum been renamed Kalkicussions yet? With your constant complaining, harping, hissy fitting, finger pointing and topped with a bit of mean spirited rhetorical psycho drama stepped in narcissistic dharma wrangling Kalki, we are just about there.

You have so many expletives for me, but I have not so many for you. I cannot whip them up as you can. But most of these words you use for me are rather negative and I wish you wouldn't waste your time to make harsh comments like that. I have never done that with you. I simply stand my ground repeatedly instead of letting you walk all over me with your excessive sarcasm. If we stand differently on the value of pointing out the validity of conspiracy, then let it be just that, our difference. Myself and some friends of mine are dying out because of government conspiracy. If you are immune to oppression, then you should be happy for that but not condemn others for having a voice. This is a free speech forum and I wish you would not constantly try to suppress that and then of course later you will say that I am imagining that you are doing that and then you will issue you more conspiracy jokes about aliens. This is the pattern I see with you.

As far as I am concerned Kalki, you are a forum troll who cannot be reached or communicated with, no matter how hard one tries. I used to think that I could communicate with you through PMs, but that did not work, then I thought communicating through talk of Buddhist dharma would click, but no,... then I simply wished you well in your life and said a friendly goodbye, but that did not work either, ... for once you feel wronged by someone, you never forgive or forget, it's all about getting back, finding some online revenge through constant trolling for posts to get back at someone, as you did again above to me, are now also doing with Prisni.

Kali, if you wish to call me a troll, then I guess you can, but I consider it quite rude. I was reprimanded for using harsh words against Prisni, but I did so only to return some harsh language of her own toward me. But you seem to be immune to using harsh tones and language, and I wish it wasn't so. You had already stated publicly that you didn't want to talk to me, and Brainiac seconded that, and then you sent me incessant PMs, though I repeatedly asked you to address me in the forum, and then you blocked me, and then you calmed down and opened the block and then you sent me a number of haranguing PMs complaining about me, all in secret so others would not view you as an ass, and you accused me constantly of harsh language or motives though I never showed you any, and now you are at it again. When does it end. If you make public comments, I am bound to comment on them publicly. That is the way a forum works. If you don't like me, you can avoid me.

As far as forgiving, yes I was giving you a chance to acknowledge your public attack of me two times prior on the forum so I could forgive you, but you repeatedly dodge the issue you and jump to the fact that I am unforgiving. I guess tonight I will try to pull up the things that I had already pointed out to you earlier with a specific post. I haven't thus far because I have been busy getting attacked left and right by mostly you. I need some downtime to reflect a bit to go through the archives a bit to show you what you keep denying. Why is it relevant to the present, is because you attack me frequently with the same concept of my being a troll. Just think how you would feel if you join a forum and a mod, cum ex-mod continues to call you the worst possible name on a forum? If you don't think I make valuable contributions to the forum, then you are completely off and are not reading anything that you are not directly posting on. How is that for narcissism?

Regarding Prisni, my qualms with her were specific and I had addressed it every time from the start, so if there is a problem, it is not all mine because I found what she posted to be objectionable. You don't like what you construe as attacks against Jews, but it is okay for you that she used her words to call me something of a dumb american? It is a bit absurd. But by the way, if you do your reading on the forum, I am already enjoying a few exchanges with Prisni that have no flair up so you should rejoice a bit. I am purposefully avoiding the threads where the problems existed for my own betterment but i will check them when I have the energy.

As long as you cannot control your thoughts and emotions and are present here, I will find this a most unenjoyable, less creative place to be. I wish to be as far away from you and your twisted circular argumentative agenda here on this forum ... as well I can be. I actually do wish you well in your life, just so long as I do not have to be a part of it.

My opinion of what you have said here is that you just spend way too much energy to react. I didn't like your constant referral to stupidity of other member's belief in conspiracy and I spent two lines to say it and you react with all these words. I dont' really want to resort to the amount of abusive remarks you make here, so I want to keep it short. I just dont' think it is necessary, all your reactions.

I dealt with the same thing everynight all night with your endless PMs and I didnt' complain. I answered them all politely. Are you asking me to post all your nastiness publicly on the forum? Or maybe I don't need to if you keep it up at this rate because it is pretty similar what you are doing here to what you were doing to me in private. I wish I had blocked you from the first PM instead of letting you too it later. I almost blocked you when you opened your block but I didn't want to play the game you were playing.

[kalki]

then I thought communicating through talk of Buddhist dharma would click, but no,... then I simply wished you well in your life and said a friendly goodbye, but that did not work either

Kali, here you are referencing more about our PMs then I have ever done, and previously you publicly reprimanded me for referencing much less and PMed me that I was violating you or something. Are you out of your mind? If you reference so much falsity about the PMs you sent me, it would be certainly an invitation for you me to post your so called Buddhist communication with me, which mostly resorted to accusing me of not being Buddhist and then trying to posit extremely difficult lines of reasoning in the name of Buddhism which I could not follow and so I bowed out of your discussion about Buddhism. So is it that I did not worship your Buddhist aura or something? I don't get it.

My life will be just that much more content and peaceful without having to read your constant harping and wished for control of this forum, so there are various ways of doing this, the best in my estimation is to leave this place and come back when you are no longer here, so until that day comes, which may indeed be never, a sad goodbye, ... but peace to all my dear friends, and fond memories to the original spirit of the forum which is slowly being choked to death by the vines of psycho babble and drama ... spreading every which way and place.

There should be a rule on GR for members trying to guilt trip other members, but i am sure that won't be happening anytime soon.

The photos above are incredible ... with the bird Maggie doing her high wire act and being so at peace with your son and daughter ... like a domesticated cat or dog, truly an amazing story concerning a wild bird becoming so close and calm toward a human family.
