Body Feathers

Can some body please tell me what a beak and feather virrus is?And is it deadly?

I have a McCaw, who started acting real strange all the sudden for reasons unknown. He drags his beak along his pearch, cage, and pretty much what ever, he also pulls on things like his beak is bothering him. I talked to my vet, and he said it was a feather and beak virus, but not to worry about it, hes not getting any better should i be concerned?

Dang! you need an AVIAN vet! not one that hasn’t been certified to treat exotics!
A bird will rub it’s beak up against things because it’s ‘cleaning’ it. They need wood to chew on (not only as a toy) for the same reasons we need a tooth brush! My birds will crack off a chunk of wood and roll it around in their beaks, right after they eat.

Your bird needs to be examined by an avian vet and then go from there. Toys, bigger cage, more sleep, vitamins ect.

I’m almost 99% sure your bird does not have BFD. It does happen but it’s more and more rare. The clues to look for with BFD are:
1.) the feather shaft. Look at them and see if there’s any stunted ones that haven’t grown in 6 months or if they have dark shafts. Also, look for bald patches.
2.) the beak. Look and see if it’s overgrown and SHINY. If it stays shiny all the time (lack of powder down) that’s a good indicator of BFD.
3.) weight. When you see an AVIAN vet they will weigh him and keep track of it. Weightloss is never good.
4.) READ up on your subject macaws, avian diseases, behaviour.

Good Luck and see an AVIAN vet and stop worring.

Full Body Sensual Massage : How to Get More Intimacy & Bliss in Your Relationship

One of the most missunderstood aspects of love and relationships is the power of touch. Yes you’ll find hundreds of books on relationship fufillment and sexuality, but how many actually discuss the fundamental human need for sensual touch and intimacy?

Sensual touch involves the gentle touch of a lover’s skin. Slow strokes are applied across the whole body, the face, feet and hands. Massage oils can be used (such as olive,sesame, almond etc), but the simple brush of a feather or a silk scarf would work great too. Your goal is not sexual arousal, but sensual arousal. Sensual arousal is the precurser to sensual seduction, deeper intimacy, sexual arousal, pleasure, and release.

Far too often stress and busy lives have dulled our senses and resulted in us moving through life on auto-pilot. We have forgotten what it feels like to experience the burst of flavour from a stawberry, the smell of fresh sheets,  bird song in the morning ahd the gentle touch of a lover’s hand.

To really get back into our senses and experience an exciting multi-sensory life it’s time to return to one of our most powerful senses : Touch.

Full body sensual massage is a great tool to experience  sensual excitement and arousal, and is great way to bond intimately with your lover. Get to know your lover’s body, increase their relaxation and deepen their arousal and pleasure through sensual touch.

To start your sensuous massage, create a relaxing and seductive environment. Dim the lights, get the candles out, add some aromatherpy oils to your burner, and get some sensual music going in the background. Prepare your cold pressed organic massage oil by gently warming the container in a bowl of warm water. You can also add a few drops of essential oil to the massage oil (always read the label). Keep in mind that you should always be massaging towards the heart.

Now begin massaging your lover’s body by starting at the base of the back, moving up towards the neck and then down the arms. Do not apply pressure to the back bone, but rather use one hand on either side and move up. Do this for about 10 minutes. Now turn to the legs, and massage up to the buttocks ideally in one slow luxurious glide. Do this for a few minutes. Ask your lover to turn over, and then massage the feet. Take your time here as a sensual foot massage is great pleasure experience.

Start then to move up the leg and thigh towards the groin. Repeat a few times. Now move onto the chest and and down the arms. Finally end with  a gentle hand massage.

If you’d like to add more erotic pleasure why not continue on to a Tantric massage? Just make sure that the oil used near or on the genitals is pure and organic, and does not contain any essential oils. Of course i’m sure I don’t have to mention – make sure it’s gently warm! Something tells me your lover may not appreciate cold oil on the nether regions!
