Question #7:

illegers macaw screaming?

Back ground.
He is 2 years old, his previous owner passed away and he was inherited to the mans brother who kept him in a basement for 6 months in a small cage, seed only diet, NO toys, and no human interaction.
I've had him for 3 months now and about a month ago he finally stared warming up to me, now he will step up, he still doesn't like to be petted, once in awhile he will cuddle with my face but I dont allow it much it only takes a second for his moods to change and the cuddling to turn to blood.
He seems to have some neurotic behavior he will sway back and forth and scream hello with his eyes pinning when he gets to excited( someone leaves the room, enters the room, looks away, talks, just about anything or nothing that i can see) He is my boyfriend's bird but I know a little more about handling birds and he's bonding to me and attacking everyone else.
He is on a pelleted diet with fresh fruits and veggies daily, plenty of toys and in a large cage, the room has my other 2 birds in it.(patagonian and green cheek conure).
The problem
He has screaming fits that seems like constantly through out the day, sometimes I'll notice what causes it but other times it just seems to start and will go on for like 20 min,and it is causing my others to pick up screaming habbits.
I have tried...
1. Covering his cage every time he screams which worked in 2 days with my green cheek
2. Ignore him when he starts. Not looking at him, leaving the room
3. Praising him when he makes quieter noises.
4. Taking him with me when I leave the room.
the only thing that seems to work temporarily is looking directly at him. I am not sure what else to do. I have had birds for 5 years, I've done research and Ive trained my birds so I'm not someone who has no idea what they are doing Ive just come to a stand still with this one, I understand he has plenty of behavioral problems from his past and I am going to work him through them. Any tips on anything that has worked on other birds?

Question #8:

Hey Global Warming believers, why are there more growing glaciers, than shrinking glaciers?

NORWAY
Ålfotbreen Glacier
Briksdalsbreen Glacier
Nigardsbreen Glacier
Hardangerjøkulen Glacier
Hansebreen Glacier
Jostefonn Glacier
Engabreen glacier (The Engabreen glacier
is the second largest glacier in Norway. It is a
part (a glacial tongue) of the Svartisen glacier,
which has steadily increased in mass since the
1960s when heavier winter precipitation set in.)


Norway's glaciers growing at record pace. The face of the Briksdal glacier,
an off-shoot of the largest glacier in Norway and mainland Europe, is growing by an
average 7.2 inches (18 cm) per day. (From the Norwegian daily Bergens Tidende.)

Glaciers growing on Canada’s tallest mountain
17 Nov 08 – The ice-covered peak of Yukon's soaring Mount Logan
may be due for an official re-measurement after readings that suggest
this country's superlative summit has experienced a growth spurt.

Italy
Winter snows did not all melt on Italy’s Presena Glacier this summer
10 Nov 09 - 'Their massive base depth last season meant it didn’t all melt
over the summer so they have nearly a metre and a half of snow on the glacier
ski area already." (The second story of this kind in two years.)

GREENLAND See Greenland Icecap Growing Thicker
Greenland glacier advancing 7.2 miles per year! The BBC recently ran
a documentary, The Big Chill, saying that we could be on the verge of an ice
age. Britain could be heading towards an Alaskan-type climate within a decade,
say scientists, because the Gulf Stream is being gradually cut off. The Gulf
Stream keeps temperatures unusually high for such a northerly latitude.
One of Greenland’s largest glaciers has already doubled its rate of advance,
moving forward at the rate of 12 kilometers (7.2 miles) per year. To see a
transcript of the documentary,

Greenland Ice Sheet Growing Thicker
4 Nov 05 - After gathering data for more than ten years, a team of
Norwegian-led scientists has found that the Greenland Ice Sheet is
actually growing thicker at its interior.

NEW ZEALAND
All 48 glaciers in the Southern Alps have grown during the past year.
The growth is at the head of the glaciers, high in the mountains, where they
gained more ice than they lost. Noticeable growth should be seen at the
foot of the Fox and Franz Josef glaciers within two to three years.(27 May 2003)
Fox, Franz Josef glaciers defy trend - New Zealand's two best-known
glaciers are still on the march - 31 Jan 07 - See Franz Josef Glacier


SOUTH AMERICA
- Argentina's Perito Moreno Glacier (the largest glacier in Patagonia)
is advancing at the rate of 7 feet per day. The 250 km² ice formation,
30 km long, is one of 48 glaciers fed by the Southern Patagonian Ice
Field. This ice field, located in the Andes system shared with Chile,
is the world's third largest reserve of fresh water.

- Chile's Pio XI Glacier (the largest glacier in the southern hemisphere)
is also growing.

Antarctic ice grows to record levels
13 Sep 07 - While the Antarctic Peninsula area has warmed
in recent years and ice near it diminished during the Southern
Hemisphere summer, the interior of Antarctica has been colder
and ice elsewhere has been more extensive and longer lasting,
See Antarctic ice grows to record levels

Oops - West Antarctic Ice Sheet
not losing ice as fast as we thought
20 Oct 09 — New measurements by
GPS Network suggest the rate of ice
loss of the West Antarctic ice sheet
has been slightly overestimated.

Question #13:

Why are there quite a few British-sounding placenames in Chile?

I've noticed along the South Patagonian coast of Chile there's a lot of English and Scottish sounding names, why is that? I know Sir Francis Drake past through the area, did he name them? Or was it British settlers to the area (I know there were some British settlers in Chile but I didn't think they were that numerous).

Here are some place names I noticed:
*Isla Benjamin James
*Bahia Darwin (named after Charles Darwin by any chance?)
*Isla Byron
*Isla Wellington (Duke of Wellington?)
*Isla Mornington
*Isla Duque de York (Duke of York?)
*Isla Chatham
*Estretcho Nelson
*Isla Stewart (Scottish?)
*Peninsula Brecknock
*Isla Dawson
*Isla Londonderry

I also noted some O'higgins names but I know about him (the Chilean liberator of Irish decent).

Thanks if you have any info.

Question #20:

I really want a Patagonian Cavy (Mara) and there are some for sale in my state. I need to know, what would I keep it in? How much food does it need every day? What is its bedding like (pine shavings, hay)? Are they friendly to humans and do they bite? Do you have to take them to the vet? Thank you so much for your help...
Oh, and do they carry diseases? (Or are they just domesticated... like a rabbit or a dog that do not carry diseases?)
No, I would buy it from a breeder... (I think she is a breeder) But she is selling 3 right now in my state. And I don't think I would have to take it to the vet... you don't have to take rabbits, chinchillas, or guniea pigs to the vet...
