Description of a Sun Conure Parrot

Sunny, the Sun Conure parrot, is a stunning bird, dressed in a shimmering, hooded shirt of gold with a sun-kissed, orange face. His wings and tail are shades of green and blue, mixed with a hint of gold. The Sun Conure parrot is only 12″ long, including a long tail. Its beak and feet both are black. The eyes are dark brown in a white circle.

Personality of a Sun Conure Parrot

A Sun Conure parrot is a playful, inquisitive bird. Owners can’t seem to find enough words to describe these little bundles of sunshine, but they try. A few of their favorites are:

* Active

* Comical

* Cuddly

* Curious

* Cute

* Energetic

* Entertaining

* Feisty

* Fun

* Loving

* Spunky

Playtime for a Sun Conure Parrot

A Sun Conure parrot’s playtime is comical, to say the least. It loves its owners, and it loves to entertain them. Given a multitude of toys and a swing or two, the Sun Conure parrot will swing, jump, climb, and call out to you as he shows everything he can do. Even without toys, the Sun Conure parrot will develop its own tricks, just to play. It has a very high energy level, and sometimes appears to be a bundle of golden perpetual motion.

Appropriate Toys for a Sun Conure Parrot

Sun Conure parrots enjoy chewing aggressively, and will need several wooden toys to destroy. They will destroy them, too, reducing a medium-sized wooden toy to bits and pieces in a few hours. They are not as eager to play with puzzle toys, probably because they have so much energy to harness. Provide toys that call for activity and “letting off steam” and they will be happy.

Sun Conure parrots enjoy chains, ropes, and other things from which to swing. They love loud bells, but be sure you do, since a Sun Conure parrot will ring it incessantly at times. Rotate the toys every couple of weeks so that your bird will not become bored.

Appropriate Cage for a Sun Conure Parrot

Sun Conure parrots need room to fly around and use up their surplus energy. A website that recommends bird cages according to the size of the parrot, such as Bird Cages, will help you get a large enough cage. Generally, a 20″ x 20″ cage, about 3 feet high is good for a Sun Conure parrot. The bar spacing should be between 0.75 inches and 1″ so that your parrot cannot get its head stuck between the bars. To give your bird proper exercise for its feet, install 3 different perches in the cage, each made of a different substance.

The Sun Conure Parrot’s Talking Ability

Generally speaking, most parrots can be taught to talk if the owner follows a proven, consistent course of training. The Sun Conure parrot is not the best talker, however. With patience, you will be able to teach your bird a few words. With care, you will also be able to teach it not to screech for attention. It is common for Sun Conure parrots to screech to greet the day, and to end the day. In between, your bird should learn to be less vocal. Some have found that their Sun Conure parrots like to imitate beeping tones.

Food for a Sun Conure Parrot

The Sun Conure parrot does well on a basic diet of organic pellets. Organic pellets give your Sun Conure parrot a balanced diet in every bite. Avoid seed-based foods, as the parrot will pick out the seeds and leave the rest. The result will be a malnourished parrot.

In addition to organic pellets, give your parrot the variety it craves by providing fresh fruits and vegetables. Sun Conure parrots usually enjoy apples, grapes, melons, and oranges. Among vegetables, they will eat things such as broccoli, carrots, corn, lettuce, and peas. Keep seeds and nuts as a special treat.

Amazing Wedding Planning

Jewish Talyor asked:


My friends and I learned a lot about jewelers when we were all getting married several years ago. Now that my nieces and nephews, and some of my friends’ older kids are starting to get married, I thought I’d share some of what we all learned about wedding rings along the way.

Do some research on the different jewelry stores that sell wedding band . Nowadays, with most jewelry stores having great websites, you can really see what type of training the jewelry store employees go through, and the corporate mindset when it comes to their customers.

Look at the styles of wedding rings that are on the store’s websites and choose some stores that have several different wedding ring styles that you like. Just like any website, sometimes the styles online aren’t available in the store once you get there, so keep an open mind and try to focus on the general style of wedding rings.

When you’ve chosen some jewelry stores you’d like to visit, try to make a couple visits without your fiancé before really going in to seriously look. Go during off hours and during weekends. At this point, what you’re looking for is their customer service. How do they treat you when you’re just looking by yourself? How are they treating other customers, especially couples that are obviously shopping for their wedding rings?

Ask a few questions that they might not get every day. Any jewelry store sales person will know some things about diamonds and wedding rings, but ask some questions about a less popular stones, such as the difference between blue topaz and aquamarine. This will give you an idea about how knowledgeable they are about jewelry in general, as well as how passionate they might be about sharing the information. Just like any job, they get the same questions over and over again. If they perk up when you start asking questions about peridots for a change, you might have found a really helpful and knowledgeable person to work with when choosing your wedding ring.

When you find jewelry stores or salespeople that you like, make sure to take their card and write a few notes on the back about why you liked them. This will help you decide what stores you would like to visit when you shop for your wedding rings with your fiancé.

Sandee Lembke asked:


When most people host summer parties, they usually have the basic alcoholic beverages, like beer and wine, but rarely do you see a host offer a selection of really special summer drinks.

I have perfected my list of offerings over the years and now I share my “Top 5 Most Requested Summer Drinks” with you (in no particular order).

Number One Most Requested Summer Cocktail–Limoncello Mint Lemonade

1/2 cup lemonade concentrate

1/4 cup fresh mint leaves

1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice

Ice cubes

1/4 cup Limoncello (lemon liqueur)

1/2 cup club soda

Lemon slices and mint for garnish

In a small pitcher, “muddle” mint leaves together with lemonade concentrate and lemon juice. Muddle means to bruise the leaves so they release their flavor. I use the end of a wooden spoon.

Stir in ice cubes, Limoncello and club soda and pour into 4 glasses. Top them off with a lemon slice, a sprig of fresh mint and an umbrella.

Makes 4-10 oz. drinks.

Number Two Most Requested Summer Cocktail–Pomegranate Blueberry Martini

Made with 1/2 juice so not as strong as most martinis.

1/2 part vodka

1 part pomegranate mix (I use “Rose” brand)

1 part pomegranate blueberry juice (I use “Tropicana” brand)

Orange slices for garnish

Shake ingredients with ice for 1 minute in a martini shaker. Pour into some martini glasses and garnish with an orange slice. Crisp and refreshing!

Number Three Most Requested Summer Cocktail–Pineapple Bleu

2-oz. Hypnotic Liqueur

1-oz. Grey Goose Vodka

Splash of pineapple juice

Lemon twist for garnish

Shake together Hypnotic, vodka and ice until chilled. Pour into a martini glass, top with pineapple juice and garnish with a lemon twist and an umbrella.

Number Four Most Requested Summer Cocktail–Sangria Punch

This one is great for summer barbeques because you can easily make it a pitcher at a time or can serve it from a punch bowl.

1 lemon

1 lime

1 orange

1-1/2 cups rum (spiced rum works well too)

1/2 cup white sugar

1 (750 milliliter) bottle dry red wine

1 cup orange juice

Chill the fruit, rum, orange juice and wine. If desired, make ice cubes out of the orange juice. This is a good way to keep drinks icey cold without diluting them.

Slice the lemon, lime and orange into thin rounds and place in a large glass pitcher. Pour in the rum and sugar. Chill in refrigerator for 2 hours to develop the flavors.

When ready to serve, crush the fruit lightly with a wooden spoon and stir in the wine and orange juice (cubes if you made them). Adjust sweetness to taste.

Number Five Most Requested Summer Cocktail–Fruited Brandy Punch

This one has become a favorite at my home and a lot of the parties I attend, most likely because everyone loves it and you can make a huge amount and serve it in a punch bowl.

1/2 part brandy (I use Christian Brothers brand)

1 part lemon-lime soda

2 parts fruit juice (Cranberry-Peach blend is my favorite)

1/2 bag frozen fruit (Blueberries and strawberries look great)

1 fruited ice ring (see recipe below)

Slices of lemons, limes and oranges, if desired

Mix fruit juice and frozen fruit together in a nice punch bowl or container.

Pour in lemon-lime soda, gently stir and then float an ice ring on top (see recipe below). Rather than spike the punch, I serve the brandy on the side so my guests who prefer non-alcoholic punch can drink it too.

To make ice ring

Pour 1-2 cups of the juice mixture from above into a Bundt pan or another mold. Add some of the fruit and/or fresh citrus slices. Freeze overnight.

Just before serving, set the pan into some hot water to loosen the ice ring and then turn it into the punch bowl. It makes a really beautiful presentation, cools the punch and since it’s made with juice, it will not water down the punch. Perfect!

This recipe can easily be altered so you can serve it from a Drink Fountain which is really gaining popularity lately. Just leave out the fruit and the ice ring.

So, now you have five classic summer cocktails to WOW your guests with. They will be so surprised when you hand them one of these special summer drinks instead of the usual beer and wine.

Hi everyone, I was just wondering about some of the outstanding accomplishments that you might have had on the original Nintendo Entertainment System.

Here are some of mine:

In the 1989 game Dragon Warrior, I finished the game at experience level 19. ( It goes up to level 30 )

In the 1990 game Final Fantasy, I finished the game at experience level 19. ( It goes up to level 50 )

In the 1987 game The Legend Of Zelda, I finished the 2nd quest without the protection of a red or blue ring, and I used the weak Wooden Sword instead of the Magical Sword or Silver Sword.

In the 1988 game Zelda 2: A Link To The Past, I finished the game with my Attack, Magic, And Life at level 6. ( They go up to level 8 )

Those are some of the things I’ve done on the original Nintendo. I’d like to hear some of yours. Thanks.

Cynthia Macy asked:


There is a huge array of diamond wedding rings available today, and choosing the one that will be with you for a lifetime is a serious affair.

Not only are there aesthetic factors to bear in mind, your diamond wedding ring holds also a deeper significance. It is a symbol of your love for the person that you married, and you should select the ring that you feels best captures the essence of these feelings.

The diamond ring you choose for your wedding should be everything that you feel your love to be - unique, beautiful and durable. And while there are a huge variety of styles and ring settings available, the core features of a truly beautiful diamond remain the same regardless of the style of diamond ring you pick to celebrate your wedding. You will hopefully wear this ring the rest of your life, so choose a style that seems timeless to you.

Selecting a wedding ring isn’t as easy as it looks. You are going to wear your ring for the rest of your life, so it should be something you won’t get tired of in a couple years. You will have to look at and try on many different rings before you come to a final decision and, being an intelligent consumer, you should know what your options are.

First, you will have to decide how much you can afford to spend. Then, with your budget in mind, choose the material you want your ring made of.

Wedding ring materials can be:

- 14K or 18K yellow gold, classic and still very popular for wedding and engagement rings; - white gold, which is gaining popularity because it looks stylish and very modern. Also white gold can be worn with silver or platinum jewelry and it goes with most fabrics; - platinum is one of the hardest metals, which in itself makes platinum a suitable symbol for enduring love. It is also very pure: while 18 K gold contains only 75% gold, most platinum jewelry is 95% platinum. Platinum rings look similar to white gold, are very elegant and stylish, don’t scratch and don’t loose their look with the passing years. Platinum rings are the most expensive but, considering that you will wear your ring for the rest of your life, that doesn’t really matter for many couples; - titanium is long lasting, light and not very expensive, so it has recently became a very popular material for wedding rings. Titanium rings are similar in appearance to white gold rings but they are so light that you can hardly feel one on your finger. Titanium is a particularly popular material for men’s wedding rings.

Diamonds are unbeatable favorites for wedding rings and with good reason - not only are diamonds the most beautiful and expensive of all precious stones, but they are also the hardest. Other hard stones are rubies and sapphires. Gemstones like amethyst or aquamarine are too soft, which makes them unsuitable for a wedding ring that you are going to wear every day.

No matter which style and material you chose, you want a ring that would be comfortable on your finger. For this reason it is always best to go with a ring that is smooth around the edges.

Imagine the next time you join a discussion about diamonds. When you start sharing the fascinating diamonds facts below, your friends will be absolutely amazed.

Diamonds are measured in Carat Weight. One carat weighs 200 milligrams. If a diamond is referred to as four grains, this also means that it is a one carat diamond. The word Carat comes from the word carob. A carob is a bean that grows on a tree in the Mediterranean. In times past, if a diamond weighed the same as a carob bean, it was one carob, or one carat.

How can you put a limit on learning more? The next section may contain that one little bit of wisdom that changes everything.

In the far east, where Carob trees do not grow, rice was used to measure the weight of a diamond. If a diamond weighed as much as four grains of rice, it was four grains - or one carat as we know it to be now. The majority of diamond purchases are for diamonds that are 1/3 of a carat.

Beware when shopping for diamonds that are already set or mounted. If more than one diamond is used in the piece, the tag on the jewelry will give the CTW or Carat Total Weight - it does not tell you the carat weight of each stone in the piece. You need to ask the jeweler for the total carat weight of the largest diamond in the piece to truly understand what you are buying.

The setting you choose is a matter of your own personal taste, but the diamond in your wedding ring should adhere to these important factors.

The characteristics of a beautiful diamond are known as the four Cs - carat, color, clarity and cut. Regardless of the style of diamond wedding rings that you and your partner choose, these are factors that will apply.

The carat of your diamond refers to its weight - simply put, the larger the diamond, the more valuable it becomes. While larger diamonds can be impressive, certain settings suit smaller carats better. Choose a carat that appeals most to you - a large diamond may be valuable, but the most important factor is how valuable it is to you.

The color of a diamond also relates to its value - the clearer the stone, the more valuable your diamond wedding ring.

The third factor is clarity - once again, the more clear a diamond, the more valuable it becomes. Though few diamonds are perfect, the ones with less clouds or flaws are more rare, and thus more expensive to purchase.

The final factor is the diamond’s cut. The best cut will display the diamond’s brilliance to the best effect.

Your jeweler will be able to help you select a diamond that fits all these characteristics, but remember that each diamond is beautiful in its own right. Your diamond wedding rings are a symbol of your love, so choose the one that speaks to you.

Hopefully the sections above have contributed to your understanding of diamonds. Share your new understanding about diamonds with others. They’ll thank you for it.

And men, you need to take great care when shopping for that special diamond ring! Remember to ask the jeweler for the total carat weight of the largest diamond in the piece to truly understand what you are buying. Don’t pay more for what you are getting.

We are dedicated to helping you learn more about diamonds, for better selection and your money’s worth.



All Types Of Wedding Speeches

Dominic Donaldson asked:


The tradition of engagement rings has been embedded in western culture for over a millennia. The concept is that a woman is presented with an engagement ring as a gesture of a mans intention to wed her. The ring is worn until the wedding day when it is replaced during a wedding ceremony by the wedding ring. The engagement ring is then is either worn with the wedding ring or put in storage. The wedding ring is a symbol of the marriage commitment and deeply ingrained in western religious practices.

Engagement rings started in classical period where Aristotelian natural sciences believed that a vein from the finger of the left hand was linked directly to the heart, so a ring worn on that finger was representative of being directly linked to the heart. In Western culture the ring was introduced as a symbol of betrothment after the Pope Innocent III, who ruled around 1215, introduced a period of waiting before people were married.

At that feudal point in history wealth was not spread around and only the nobility and the church had money to purchase precious stones. The feudal period lasted well into the sixteenth century and during that time the proletarians would use whatever they could get their hands on, such as metal or wooden bands. As it is today, engagement rings became a status symbol and the very rich would have elaborate engagement rings designed with precious stones encrusted in them. Plain bands are still used today in certain countries mainly around Lutheran Europe.

As the feudal system began to dissolve through the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, with the emergence of the merchant class or what is referred to today as the middle class, there was more money available and engagement rings became a more common place occurrence. During this period to be betrothed was a serious matter and it was not taken likely, as with many traditional values this has dissolved these days and divorce and broken engagements are commonplace.

Depending on where you live the laws differ around this subject. In certain states of the United States of America the ring is the property of the person giving it, as it represents a commitment to marry. If this is not honoured then the ring has to be returned to the donor irrelevant of who is seen to be at fault for the dissolution of the engagement. In other places it is understood that the ring is a gift and becomes legal property of the recipient after the donor has handed it over.

Engagement rings today take many forms however after a massive advertising campaign in the 1940s a leading diamond manufacturer basically said that you do not love your fiance unless you give her a diamond. This changed popular culture and now diamond solitaire engagement rings are the most popular. Other forms of engagement rings are birth stones, or precious stones, whose initials are an acronym for a message such as beloved, love or dearest.

The engagement ring is a symbol of love and intent to wed, many couples who do not believe in marriage will still wear rings on their fingers called commitment rings. This practice has survived over two millennia and countless empires and today engagement rings are big business, as it is not only a symbol of love but a status symbol.

Wedding Planning Secrets. How To Have Your Fairytale Wedding On A Shoestring Budget.

Diane Winter asked:


Behind wedding rings there is so much signification. They symbolize love, unity, devotion, faithfulness, and much more. Behind every couple’s wedding rings are stories of wedding memories, how they got engaged, and a lot of unique ideas. Aside from being eye catching and beautiful wedding bands deliver so many messages. Not only do these messages differ between each couple, but they also are varying based on ethnic customs and cultural background.

The Traditions Behind Wedding Bands

Most people know the basics behind wedding rings. The wedding band is worn on the ring finger. But depending on where you live, it can be worn on the left or the right hand. In Western countries people where wedding rings on the left hand, whereas in Russia, Germany, Bulgaria, Norway, Poland, and other countries, they are worn on the right hand. The ring finger was once believed to have the vein of love and so that is how the tradition of wearing it on this finger began.

To have the spouses name and the wedding date engraved on the inside of the bands is a common European custom for wedding bands. That way the ring not only symbolizes the marriage union, and also their commitment to one another.

In Western culture, wedding rings are gifts exchanged between the couple on their wedding day and often an engagement ring is presented to the woman when the man proposes. In other cultures wedding rings will be exchanged at other times.

In some cultures it is the job of the ring bearer to bring forth the wedding bands on a pillow. Typically a young boy is chosen for this job and usually he is selected from the relatives of the couple. In other cultures the best man is in charge of taking care of the wedding rings. He will then present them to the couple at the time they exchange their vows. Many see that this is the best man’s primary job; to act as protector of the wedding rings.

So if you are looking to get a wedding ring, think of the meaning and traditions behind the wedding rings. Then consider what the wedding rings for you and your future spouse will symbolize in your relationship.
