Oz punches way above its weight in the parrot category: cockatoos, cockatiels, budgies, lorikeets, rosellas. All magnificent creatures.

I took you for a cat person
But apparently not spaces after periods…
I’m a cat and bird enjoyer, but not both at the same time obviously.
Bugger that. I need my space DURING my periods.

Surely you’ve heard of the fabulous catducken? But you must make sure to peel both carefully before stuffing and cooking.
Nah, I was wrong.
I think it’d only be birds. They generally live a long time.
And…time to exit this thread…
I stopped eating cats and birds after I had them as pets.

Been a bit of a dry spell since 1992. That jibes with my experience with the engineering community in Oz. It seems to have run out of gas due to a combination of foreign competition and the mining industry siphoning off so much engineering talent.
Holden , formerly known as General Motors-Holden , was an Australian subsidiary company of General Motors. Founded in Adelaide, it was an automobile manufacturer, importer, and exporter that sold cars under its own marque in Australia. It was headquartered in Port Melbourne, with major industrial operations in the states of South Australia and Victoria. The 164-year-old company ceased trading at the end of 2020, having switched to solely importing vehicles in its final three years.
Seems those men should be left alone whatever time of month it is
