    I'm tired of seeing pictures of peoples' cats while I look at Prius postings (I'm actually rather tired of looking at Bill Merchant's head too, but that's another issue altogether).

    I mean seriously, I've been a member of several other auto and moto forums, and I don't remember ever having seen someone with a Cat avatar, not once. So why does every other person on this forum have one?

    I'm considering my own avatar right now, maybe something like this...

    I may have to shrink the size down a bit though.

    Jack Kelly - Nice Avatar.

    Maybe we should bring up the name change to PriusCat with one of the moderators. I'm sure if we took a vote it'd get changed in an instant.

    Are you serious? Do you even know what a troll is? Come'on.

    Actually, I kind of like seeing Mr. Merchants face (albeit unsmiling).

    Whenever I see it I know I will be treated to a post chock full
    of accurate information, friendly overtures and fair judgments.

    As for cats, all we can do is learn to live with them.

    I am surprised as everything I have read about Senegal’s says that is not a way to tell sex even looking at the feathers around the vent and tail can be highly inaccurate. The only way to be completely positive is to do a dna and a slightly less accurate way is to feel the pelvic bones. These two have very wide pelvic bones and my avian vet said he would put money on them both being female. I didn’t pay for the dna test because two breeders and an avian vet agree they are female.
    One of my many parrot books “Guide to the Senegal Parrot” states that the sexes can look and act alike and color differences can be from sub species or inherited traits. They go on to further state that the only reliable way is dna.
    http://www.wingscc.com/aps/apsmail/senegal_sexing.aspx

    I had a friend who works in rescues look at my girls and say that Lulu Looks like a male but when he felt her pelvic bone gave me a look of surprise and said “she could pass two eggs simultaneously through that pelvis.” So I am 90% sure they are both girls.

    I am not questioning you parrot knowledge as I do not know the level of experience you have with birds I am just giving you the history of my two.

    Oh and Lulu displays like females do. I haven’t seen Thelma doing anything at all related to sexual behavior yet but she tends to be shy a noted female trait.

    I started it! :)

    [attachmentid=7726]

    First cat avatar on Prius Chat. (Which is Prius Cat in French. And after all, Danny lives in Florida, which is not all that far from New Orleans, where they speak French. I'm sure that's why he named the site Prius Chat instead of a more anglo "Prius Talk." :) )

    The above was awarded to me in the "Best Avatar" contest.

    Technically he is a cat, but actually he is a LION - why don't you get into the cage with him. :blink:
