Aussie Finch Forum

Awesome quality link Brett, thank you. What a great study.

And Sam, ever the larrikin, your link is sheer brilliance! Absolutely love it!

(Aaah, the welcome voices of calm... Finchy (re-)breathes a sigh of relief. Please don't leave me alone in here again boys! )

Sam, brilliant!
Maybe we should just give the Virkon and vitamins neat, to avoid the risks associated with DHMO.

Brett, thank you for that: interesting stuff, and probably especially relevant to blue gouldians as they are famous for diving unexpectedly.

Really? Lets not start this one again ( viewtopic.php?f=42&t=9857&hilit=Irradiated+seed), but instead remember that like when we read the Bible or the law of the land, it is possible to find support for your opinions, whatever they may be, among "studies" by cherry-picking. This is why expertise requires experience as well as knowledge.

Yes, it sounds safer!

Yes, let's not please. So sush already!!

Absolutely true and the major part of the motivation for posting the extremely pedestrian question that commences this thread.

Even your not so good wine maker adds Glycol (radiator inhibitor) to some produce to help age it faster.....

Loved the link on DHMO Sam, that is pure gold

Cheers
Brett

Oh where was I
Ok yep ..little birds like finches have such tiny tiny organs .
Keeping a diet as chemical free and organic as possible has to be better for them .
Common sense .

Am I missing the joke or is everyone aware that DHMO is just water? Di Hydrogen Mono Oxide = H2O

:}

Yes, you are missing the joke. The DHMO web site is a tounge in cheek play on the chemical properties of water and MSDSs in general.

Present information in such a way as to show the negatives of a thing and people will agree that it is bad and should be banned. Without necessarily knowing what the thing is. The website is a lesson in not being too gullible.

Well I'm glad I said it out loud because there may be some newbie non-science types that might not get the joke
