I have looked up everything i can think of to try to find this log hide, I literally own one but cant find its existence online anymore other than it being in this specific picture of this tank on Petsmarts websites. Someone has to know where it is.

So I want a macaw. I’ve been doing research for about a year now and still plan on doing another year or so before I get one yet every time I ask question 99% of the time it is just people saying don’t do it, you won’t give what’s needed, they should be wild, ect. All while they own the same bird many time multiples. Constant talk of how much time is needed but the same people work full time jobs where as I don’t and can give full time care and attention to a bird.

Another controversial thing that gets to me is prices / difficulty obtaining a macaw. When I say this it’s always the immediate “if you can’t afford the bird you can’t afford the care” which i agree is absolutely 100% true. BUT at the same time you see people get these same birds for free or very cheap when that person has no knowledge at all. Why does the person with no knowledge who is going to abuse the bird get it for free where as the person who will provide great care and love does not, that $2k-$5k cost of the bird could instead be spent on even more enrichment, larger enclosures or aviaries. The better care taker never gets the cheaper / better deal on a bird which I don’t understand.
Along the same lines is people refusing to allow a larger bird to go to a new / first time bird owner even with experience with other exotic animals, full time available, space, research, local vet, ect. Still get turned away while still seeing irresponsible people getting these bird cheap or free. A lot of times they get the most behaved angel of a bird too. Why can’t I (or anyone responsible) get that free / cheap gem of a bird, why are the responsible people the ones charged thousands?

I’m an autistic adult and wanted to share how I see and feel about safe foods to hopefully help some parents understand what eating is like for their child.

one of my safe foods was pizza huts tuscani pasta which they discontinued. I have wanted this so badly for years I genuinely will go a day without eating because there is nothing else that I want and everything else looks, smells and sounds vile and I'd rather just not eat. I will be hungry I can be very hungry but if I don't have the specific safe food im wanting / needing I can't eat. It definitely makes me frustrated and upset to be hungry and not be able to eat. It's not being picky or stubborn, things I love suddenly become the most foul thing that I can't eat, kind of like if someone handed you a bowl of worms in sludge and vomit, my body will have the same repulsive reaction to things I love at random. I can have the same safe food for years then suddenly despise it and never want it again for no reason at all. It's not like this every day tho some days it's fine to eat things outside of the safe zone and try things sometimes it not and it's not something you have control over. There will also be times quite often where I fixate on a food and want to eat only that and nothing but that as if it’s the greatest thing I have ever had even if it’s something I have had in the past and was just okay with it, it can suddenly just become a fixation food. Just a suddenly as a fixation starts it can stop. I have no idea why it happens I do not control it I just listen to it and give my body what it wants as long as I am healthy.

Edit: Textures! Textures play a large roll as well there will be things I like the flavor of they taste good but I can’t or won’t eat them solely because of the texture of them. For me it’s most meat like steak and pork unless it’s ground for a taco or burger. To me yes it tastes good but it has the texture of carpet fibers and no matter how much you chew it it stays that same texture. I no longer eat frozen burritos of any brand or flavor because one had a hard bit in it. An eggshell in a cake or anything made with eggs will completely ruin it.

About a year ago I failed my tilt table test and it was the cardiologists fault. I have pretty much every single symptom of pots multiple doctors even agreed that i have pots but the tilt table was needed for a legal diagnosis. Well the problem is my cardiologist put me on 25mg Atenolol a week before the test upped to 50mg after. He gave me medication to stabilize my heart before running the damn test so it failed. The test should have been run before medication was given, I was fresh on the medicine and wasn’t fully adjusted to it I am now back to how I was with my heart all messed up going from 75 to 130 just from standing up even with the medication. It wears out before the 24 hours is up I feel like shit again still have no diagnosis and had to pay out of pocket for the test along with other tests he ran, it wasn’t cheap. The side effects of pots are so exhausting if you know you know.

I have iPhone and wanted to refer friends but can’t find the code anywhere
