2023.04.01 20:51 drpepperfox Canadians, give me your best bang for buck Scotch.

Canadian Scotch drinkers pay some very high prices, so I'm wondering fellow Canucks, what are your suggestions?
I'm in British Columbia where, unfortunately, there was a new liquor tax implemented today. I love Scotch, but I'm finding it to be getting harder and harder on my wallet. I was eyeing up a bottle of Port Charlotte 10 year old and absent mindedly didn't pull the trigger before today, and it jumped $10 from $100 to $110.

2023.04.01 20:01 disco-dingus I run an animal shelter. My rescue parrot has been saying some troubling things.

My name is Rory and I run an animal shelter in Southern England. From the moment I wake up to the moment I fall asleep (and sometimes even after I fall asleep) I’m tending to my residents. My associates don’t call me Dr Dooalot for nothing, but I wouldn’t change it for the world.
I specialise in and have the facilities for animals of the exotic variety. You won’t find domesticated cats and dogs at my shelter, which is on the grounds of my home in the countryside. Well, that’s not entirely the truth because I have a pet Jack Russell, Jackie O (sorry not sorry). But other than Jackie O you’ll only find creatures such as reptiles and arachnids, some bird and aquatic species, and a few mammals.
They tend to fall under three categories: They are illegal to keep in the UK, the previous owners didn’t have the necessary licences to keep them, or the previous owners couldn’t adequately care for them.
Among my current residents I have various spiders, a copperhead, two meerkats, a lemur, and a fennec fox! I keep them during the transition period. They mostly end up in zoos around the country, but sometimes they are released back into their natural habitats and that brings me so much joy. In some cases the animals will spend the rest of their lives with me, and so I make it as comfortable as possible for them.
Before I get to the point I’ll just get on my soapbox for a moment. Please think long and hard before you choose to keep an exotic pet. The vast majority of owners don’t have the education or facilities to keep these creatures and that breaks my heart.
Okay, I’m done. Let me tell you about Bertie.
Bertie is a beautiful blue-and-yellow macaw who came to my shelter two months ago. I have an amazing indoooutdoor aviary on my grounds which is suitable for a range of bird species. The only other bird I had at the time was a sun conure, otherwise known as a sun parakeet.
Bertie’s story was he’d been with a single lady owner for the past two years, but she tragically died while he was in her care. She was a reclusive person and her death was only discovered due to her neighbours complaining about loud noises and a vile smell. Her body was in the stages of decomposition when the authorities intervened. Nasty stuff. It’s said that Bertie, who had been enclosed in a 5x3x2 ft cage, was crying for help when the authorities arrived.
When I acquired Bertie he was malnourished, the poor little guy (well, not so little standing at around 2 ft). I introduced him to my sun conure and observed them for several hours. I assumed that neither of them had much, if any interaction with other birds so I was concerned they might not get along. When all looked fine I made myself scarce, returning to find them sharing the fruit and veg bowl harmoniously. That was a relief.
Jackie O is well behaved around the animals despite Jack Russells having a tendency to be feisty and vocal. She’s a diamond and I trust she would never attack or make a meal out of my exotic guests. One odd thing I noticed was she seemed to have a fascination with Bertie. It’s something I’d not witnessed before to that extent. She’s a curious dog by nature, but she’d sit outside the aviary and just stare at Bertie for hours. I wondered if it was his striking colourful feathers that she was drawn to. But then one morning as I looked out of my kitchen window that overlooks the grounds, she appeared to be howling at the aviary.
I went outside and quietly walked to the aviary to listen. I heard it as clear as day.
“Jackie O, Jackie O.”
Bertie was talking to my dog! He’d not said a word since I’d had him, at least not to me. He must have heard me talking to her. I couldn’t help but chuckle to myself. Jackie O ‘talked’ back by making a series of low howls and quiet barks. It was so cute!
“Are you making friends, girl?” I said as I approached them. She turned back to look at me briefly, then continued to stare up at Bertie.
“You’ve been hiding that voice, Bertie,” I said as I reached the aviary. “Clever boy!”
“Jackie O, Jackie O,” he continued.
“Yes, this is Jackie O and I’m Rory. Can you say Rory? Roar-ree.”
Bertie looked at me curiously, turning his head from side to side.
“Jackie O, Jackie O.”
I laughed to myself, then Jackie O started to whine a little.
“What’s the matter girl?” I asked, bending down to pat her. She put her paw on my knee and continued to whine as Bertie kept repeating her name. But as I paid more attention it sounded like there was more to it.
“Jackie O no, Jackie O no.”
The next morning Jackie O didn’t get out of her bed. She laid on her side and gently whined. It was so out of character for her that I didn’t hesitate. I picked her up and drove straight to the vet.
“I’m terribly sorry sir… brain tumour… small chance of survival…”
The cost and risk didn’t matter, I’d have gone bankrupt if it meant she’d be cured. So she stayed with the vet and I drove home alone, praying for a miracle. I was devastated. On top of that I was freaking out about Bertie. Was it what I feared - a premonition about something bad happening to my dog - or was I being paranoid?
I quietly observed Bertie as I sat outside the aviary. He looked at me curiously as I cried silently, then he climbed onto the frame of the cage. He pushed his beak through and I gave him a little smile, gently scratching his head.
He didn’t speak again until a few days later. I was cleaning inside the aviary and spent a little time socialising with the birds. They were tame enough and happy to be handled. Bertie perched on my arm and lowered his head to my hand, then gently nipped my finger with his beak. It didn’t hurt at all and came across as playful more than anything.
“Bite, bite,” he said. It made me laugh.
“Yes, that’s right Bertie. Bite. But don’t bite me too hard will you?”
He nipped me a few more times repeating “bite, bite,” over and over until I put him back on a branch.
“You’re a funny boy,” I said as I left him to it. But that night something happened that when I remembered the earlier encounter with Bertie, it sent a shiver down my spine.
I was watching TV and felt something tickle my foot as I sat on the sofa, followed by a painful sting. When I recoiled and looked down I saw a large spider disappear under the sofa. It was a Chilean rose tarantula, one of which I happened to have in one of my vivariums. The two small puncture wounds on the top of my foot were sore and red around the edges.
Fortunately these bites are only dangerous to humans who have an allergic reaction to them, so I was fine. I caught the little bugger and put it back in its tank. It wasn’t until I began cleaning the wounds that I heard Bertie warning of a bite.
From that moment I was a little cautious when around Bertie. My good girl Jackie O and the bite could have been coincidences but it was worrying. I kept our interactions brief in fear he’d start talking again, and I didn’t want to hear anything else that spooked me.
The good news was that Jackie O had survived the operation. Whether it put 3 years or 3 months on her life expectancy it was a blessing. She spent her recovery time with my parents as they could care for her around the clock. I visited whenever I could for cuddles.
Some days passed. By that point my sun conure had found a forever home, a bird sanctuary up north took her in. It was a relief because I did worry about Bertie’s strange behaviour affecting her. As I was tending to the grounds I could hear Bertie squawking about something. It sounded like he was calling my name!
“Rory, Rory…”
I smiled to myself and went to investigate. He’d not said my name yet despite me trying to teach it to him.
“Bertie, did you say my name?” I asked as I approached the aviary.
“Rory, Rory,” he repeated, his wings flapping.
“I’m here Bertie! What’s up?”
“Shut your mouth, shut your mouth,” he started to repeat.
My jaw dropped but I couldn’t help but chuckle a little. “Bertie, that’s rude! Surely you didn't call me over here just to tell me to shut up?”
“Nora, shut your mouth, help, shut your mouth, bye bye, Nora…”
“Are you saying Nora?” I asked.
“Nora, help, run, run…”
He was severely agitated so I stepped inside and gently stroked his back to calm him down. The reality is I could have done with someone to calm me down too. It left me a little shaken up.
Later that day as I was eating lunch I kept thinking about the troubling incident. He was definitely saying Nora, and I wondered why that name sounded familiar. I looked through my files and found the documents I’d received when I took Bertie on.
‘Bertie’, blue-and-gold macaw.
Estimated age: 19 years
Known ownership history:
Jonathan and Lori Swift, Weymouth
Sonia Jones, Bangor
Rohan Singh, Ealing
Nora Craig, Ipswich
As soon as I saw that name I remembered. He’d been with a single lady owner for two years, Nora Craig. She’d been found dead in her flat and Bertie had been calling for help when her body was discovered. I thought poor Bertie must have been having PTSD over the horrid experience.
Something that was also worrying was the amount of previous owners he’d had, and those were just the known ones. I did a little research, as much as Google would allow. I’m no detective! But I was curious if there was any information about the others.
I typed in jonathan lori swift weymouth and nothing significant came up. I tried the same thing with sonia jones bangor and rohan singh ealing. There were far too many results as expected.
I went back and tried jonathan lori swift weymouth parrot. After browsing several pages I found something promising. It was a local classified ad dated January 2011.
Home wanted for tame, intelligent parrot.
Bertie is a majestic blue gold macaw that my husband John and I shared our home with for three years. My husband recently passed due to a tragic accident and I no longer feel I can offer Bertie the care and attention he needs. Bertie is very sociable and requires mental stimulation for his well-being. Ideally you will have experience with this species. Please contact me at [REDACTED] if you can offer Bertie a good home. Lori Swift, Weymouth.
My heart broke for that woman and I hoped she was doing well these days.
I tried the same search with the other names. Nothing of note came up for Sonia Jones but a search for rohan singh ealing parrot yielded something interesting. It was an article on an online publication I wasn’t familiar with.
Mystery of missing traveller continues.
Do you remember the story of missing London man Rohan Singh? No? You’re not alone!
In 2018, paramedic Rohan Singh took a two month sabbatical to travel solo around Nepal and China. His family said it had been a dream of his since childhood. Rohan’s only dependent was an exotic parrot which he left in the care of his brother for the duration of his travels.
Rohan never returned home. His mother was the last person to have contact with him a week before he was due to...
These mystery cases always leave me feeling unsettled. Regardless of what happened to that man, poor Bertie’s history wasn’t looking good. He needed a forever home. Macaws can live to around 50 years and that’s a lot of potential future owners. I decided I wouldn’t let that happen; his forever home would be with me and Jackie O when she was well enough to return.
I purchased a large cage and had it installed in my living area. Moving him into the house made me feel better, and it seemed to ease Bertie too. His cage was his safe haven, but I opened the cage door every morning so he had free reign of the house while I was up and around. I also took him outside and let him fly free. My heart was in my throat the first time, I had no idea if he’d come back or fly away! But he came back after flying a lap around the grounds, landing on my hand when he returned.
Things were good for a week or so.
I woke up at ridiculous o’clock. It was just past 1am and that was unusual for me. My days are pretty active and I tend to sleep like a log once my head hits the pillow.
“Rory,” I heard a familiar voice say. I jumped out of my skin! I saw the outline of Bertie at the end of my bed. I must have left his cage open.
“You scared me Bertie,” I laughed, switching on the bedside lamp. He started walking up my bed until he was by my side.
“I love you too but you can’t sleep here. What if I roll over and squish you?”
He cocked his head at me as his pupils dilated, then he gripped my wrist with a claw. I yelled out in pain before something terrifying happened.
I saw things…
A tractor on its side on a country road, a smoking car mangled around a tree…
A hospital room, a bedridden woman smiles as a child hands her a drawing of a colourful bird…
An arm protruding from a pile of rocks is buried as more rocks fall from a steep cliff…
Then I was in a cage.
I’m looking through the silver bars. A middle-aged woman walks into the room wearing a dressing gown, drying her hair with a towel.
“Nora,” I say. “Nora, run!”
She turns and smiles at me. “That’s right Bertie, mummy just went for a run. Clever boy!”
“Run, Nora!”
She laughs. “I’ll run again tomorrow! I’m relaxing now Bertie.”
There’s a knock at the door. The woman leaves the room.
“Get out!” she shouts.
Then a man’s voice. “You fucking bitch!”
The woman runs into the room and picks up a fire poker. A man runs in behind her and forces it from her hands. He’s dressed in dark clothing wearing gloves and a hat.
“Let me go!” she screams. He pushes her to the floor, his hands around her neck.
“Nora, run, help!” I yell over and over.
“Shut your mouth!” the man roars at me. “Shut your fucking mouth bird!”
Before long the woman’s body is still. The man approaches the cage.
“Bye bye birdy,” he sneers. He opens the cage and reaches inside. I lash out with a claw.
“Keep the fucking noise down!” someone yells, then there are bangs on the wall. The man runs from the room.
The woman never gets up. I cry her name and cry for help. Over time her body becomes bloated and discoloured…
Then I was in familiar surroundings. What I call my jungle room, where I keep my creepy crawlies. It’s warm and humid, the perfect environment for them. But I’m in danger, I can feel it. Something is pressed against my head.
There’s an explosion of sound…
When I was back in my room I was screaming out loud.
It took me a moment to come to my senses, my heart threatening to burst from my chest. Bertie was looking up at me. A small trickle of blood ran down my wrist and my face was damp with sweat.
There came a loud noise from the back of my home, then the mammals in my care started to become vocal. I ran to the window and looked outside. Several security lights had come on. The shadow of a tall figure was stretched across the grounds, moving towards the house.
I heard a smash from downstairs.
I turned to Bertie, my eyes wide and my hands shaking. He stood on my bed looking at me, his wings outstretched.
“Rory, run!
I froze to the spot for longer than I should have in that situation, only snapping out of it by Bertie’s continued cry. He flew at me and I ran out of the bedroom, stopping on my landing to listen. There was someone snooping around my house.
“Oh my God,” I whispered to myself like a mantra. It sounded like they were in the kitchen at that moment. Bertie landed on the bannister, looking down the stairs. He started nodding his head, then looked at me.
“What,” I whispered. “You want me to go downstairs?”
He kept nodding his head at me.
“Are you crazy?”
He jumped down and glided to the bottom of the staircase.
“Bertie!” I said as quietly as possible, but he just cocked his head and walked out of sight.
I stayed close to the wall and slowly walked down the stairs, taking deep breaths. When I got to the bottom I could see my backdoor was open. Bertie hopped out and I listened out for the intruder before tiptoeing after him. It was cold. I was barefoot and only wearing a t-shirt and boxers!
Bertie was walking towards the jungle room, which is within a small independent building on my grounds. When he got to the door he stopped and turned to look at me, then he opened his wings. I had a flashback to what I’d seen earlier, to what he’d shown me.
“I really don’t think that’s a good idea,” I said, looking over my shoulder. He squawked at me and I put a finger to my lips. “Okay, fine!”
I opened the door and Bertie hopped in. I followed him after making sure the coast was clear. It’s like stepping into the Amazon, hence my nickname for it. It’s filled with various plantlife and wall to wall vivariums containing all kinds of creatures, but mostly reptiles and spiders. The lighting is low, and it’s kept at a constant temperature of 25°C with moderate humidity. I took a moment to appreciate the warmth.
Bertie flew up and perched on a plant. There was only one way in and out of the jungle room.
“What now,” I said. “We just wait it out here?”
I heard a click from behind me and my stomach dropped.
“Raise your hands and turn around,” came a voice. “Slowly.”
My heart began to palpitate as I followed the instruction. My hands shook above my head as I met the eyes of a strange man standing before me. He was pointing a gun.
“You must be the animal man,” he said. “Don’t mind me, I’m just here to take some off your hands.”
“Wha… What?” I said.
“Some of these critters fetch a fair price to the right buyer, did you know that?”
I shook my head. “Please sir, don’t take the animals. They’re very special, they need proper care. They’re not supposed to be pets.”
He started to laugh. “Boo-hoo! Do you think I give a fuck about that?”
“I have money,” I said. “And some belongings that might be worth something. You’re welcome to them. Please, just leave the animals.”
“Oh yeah?” he said. “And where might I find these things?”
“I’ll get them for you,” I said, lowering my hands.
“Uh-uh!” he snapped. “No way, get on your knees.”
“What?”
“Get on your fucking knees!”
I started to panic as I fell to my knees. The man pressed the gun against my head.
“Oh God,” I said, my whole body shaking. “Please don’t do this.”
“Where's the money?”
“There’s some in my wallet,” I stuttered. “By the front door. And upstairs in my bedroom closet, in a box on the top shelf.”
“Money laundering, huh?” he laughed. “Great, thanks. I’ll have a look once these furballs are in my van.”
He cocked the gun and I closed my eyes.
“Don’t do this,” I pleaded.
There came an explosion of sound and my ears rang. When I opened my eyes Bertie was clawing at the man’s hand as he tried to shake him off. Without thinking I leapt forward and knocked him down, the gun going off again. I heard something smash on the other side of the jungle room.
Bertie flew somewhere behind us as I tried to hold the man down, but that was silly. I’ve never had to defend myself and I was pinned within seconds.
“Dumb fucking bird!” he snarled, pointing the gun across the room.
“No!” I screamed, grabbing his arm with both hands. I pushed it to the floor with all I had and the gun slid away from us. I was disoriented as his fist met the side of my face, then his hands were around my neck.
“All over some fucking animals?” he spat. His face was screwed up into a hateful expression as I tried to free myself from his grip. He applied pressure and couldn’t breathe, my windpipe felt like it was being crushed.
From the corner of my eye I saw Bertie’s bright blue and yellow feathers getting closer, and I quietly appreciated his attempts at playing the hero.
Tears streamed down my face as my eyes fell on Bertie. But he wasn’t alone. Just in front of him was another small creature, one that Bertie was nudging towards us with his beak.
It was the inland taipan.
Why anyone would think it's a good idea to keep a deadly snake as a pet is beyond me, but in the moment I thanked that stupid person who attempted such a thing.
As soon as the man noticed the snake he freaked out, but I’m not sure if he realised just how dangerous it was. His eyes widened as he let me go and threw his arms out, but the snake was quick. It took a jab at the soft flesh of his neck, and then one on his hand for good measure.
I brought my body into the foetal position as it slithered past me, not wanting to risk a bite myself. Then it disappeared into the plants somewhere.
Bertie brushed against me as I caught my breath. Looking across the room I could see the snake’s tank had shattered. What are the chances the bullet hit the one tank containing a creature capable of certain death?
As I picked up Bertie and stood up on wobbly legs the man was in the stages of a total body shut down. He was convulsing and vomiting when I left the jungle room, a real nasty way to go. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.
Poor Bertie has had a rough go of it in life, but I hope we can be the forever home he deserves. Don’t get me wrong; I’m terrified about what he might say or do next, but I guess a heart-stopping warning is better than none at all.

“Jackie O, Jackie O.”
Bertie was talking to my dog! He’d not said a word since I’d had him, at least not to me. He must have heard me talking to her. I couldn’t help but chuckle to myself. Jackie O ‘talked’ back by making a series of low howls and quiet barks. It was so cute!
“Are you making friends, girl?” I said as I approached them. She turned back to look at me briefly, then continued to stare up at Bertie.
“You’ve been hiding that voice, Bertie,” I said as I reached the aviary. “Clever boy!”
“Jackie O, Jackie O,” he continued.
“Yes, this is Jackie O and I’m Rory. Can you say Rory? Roar-ree.”
Bertie looked at me curiously, turning his head from side to side.
“Jackie O, Jackie O.”
I laughed to myself, then Jackie O started to whine a little.
“What’s the matter girl?” I asked, bending down to pat her. She put her paw on my knee and continued to whine as Bertie kept repeating her name. But as I paid more attention it sounded like there was more to it.
“Jackie O no, Jackie O no.”
The next morning Jackie O didn’t get out of her bed. She laid on her side and gently whined. It was so out of character for her that I didn’t hesitate. I picked her up and drove straight to the vet.
“I’m terribly sorry sir… brain tumour… small chance of survival…”
The cost and risk didn’t matter, I’d have gone bankrupt if it meant she’d be cured. So she stayed with the vet and I drove home alone, praying for a miracle. I was devastated. On top of that I was freaking out about Bertie. Was it what I feared - a premonition about something bad happening to my dog - or was I being paranoid?
I quietly observed Bertie as I sat outside the aviary. He looked at me curiously as I cried silently, then he climbed onto the frame of the cage. He pushed his beak through and I gave him a little smile, gently scratching his head.
He didn’t speak again until a few days later. I was cleaning inside the aviary and spent a little time socialising with the birds. They were tame enough and happy to be handled. Bertie perched on my arm and lowered his head to my hand, then gently nipped my finger with his beak. It didn’t hurt at all and came across as playful more than anything.
“Bite, bite,” he said. It made me laugh.
“Yes, that’s right Bertie. Bite. But don’t bite me too hard will you?”
He nipped me a few more times repeating “bite, bite,” over and over until I put him back on a branch.
“You’re a funny boy,” I said as I left him to it. But that night something happened that when I remembered the earlier encounter with Bertie, it sent a shiver down my spine.
I was watching TV and felt something tickle my foot as I sat on the sofa, followed by a painful sting. When I recoiled and looked down I saw a large spider disappear under the sofa. It was a Chilean rose tarantula, one of which I happened to have in one of my vivariums. The two small puncture wounds on the top of my foot were sore and red around the edges.
Fortunately these bites are only dangerous to humans who have an allergic reaction to them, so I was fine. I caught the little bugger and put it back in its tank. It wasn’t until I began cleaning the wounds that I heard Bertie warning of a bite.
From that moment I was a little cautious when around Bertie. My good girl Jackie O and the bite could have been coincidences but it was worrying. I kept our interactions brief in fear he’d start talking again, and I didn’t want to hear anything else that spooked me.
The good news was that Jackie O had survived the operation. Whether it put 3 years or 3 months on her life expectancy it was a blessing. She spent her recovery time with my parents as they could care for her around the clock. I visited whenever I could for cuddles.
Some days passed. By that point my sun conure had found a forever home, a bird sanctuary up north took her in. It was a relief because I did worry about Bertie’s strange behaviour affecting her. As I was tending to the grounds I could hear Bertie squawking about something. It sounded like he was calling my name!
“Rory, Rory…”
I smiled to myself and went to investigate. He’d not said my name yet despite me trying to teach it to him.
“Bertie, did you say my name?” I asked as I approached the aviary.
“Rory, Rory,” he repeated, his wings flapping.
“I’m here Bertie! What’s up?”
“Shut your mouth, shut your mouth,” he started to repeat.
My jaw dropped but I couldn’t help but chuckle a little. “Bertie, that’s rude! Surely you didn't call me over here just to tell me to shut up?”
“Nora, shut your mouth, help, shut your mouth, bye bye, Nora…”
“Are you saying Nora?” I asked.
“Nora, help, run, run…”
He was severely agitated so I stepped inside and gently stroked his back to calm him down. The reality is I could have done with someone to calm me down too. It left me a little shaken up.
Later that day as I was eating lunch I kept thinking about the troubling incident. He was definitely saying Nora, and I wondered why that name sounded familiar. I looked through my files and found the documents I’d received when I took Bertie on.
‘Bertie’, blue-and-gold macaw.
Estimated age: 19 years
Known ownership history:
Jonathan and Lori Swift, Weymouth
Sonia Jones, Bangor
Rohan Singh, Ealing
Nora Craig, Ipswich
As soon as I saw that name I remembered. He’d been with a single lady owner for two years, Nora Craig. She’d been found dead in her flat and Bertie had been calling for help when her body was discovered. I thought poor Bertie must have been having PTSD over the horrid experience.
Something that was also worrying was the amount of previous owners he’d had, and those were just the known ones. I did a little research, as much as Google would allow. I’m no detective! But I was curious if there was any information about the others.
I typed in jonathan lori swift weymouth and nothing significant came up. I tried the same thing with sonia jones bangor and rohan singh ealing. There were far too many results as expected.
I went back and tried jonathan lori swift weymouth parrot. After browsing several pages I found something promising. It was a local classified ad dated January 2011.
Home wanted for tame, intelligent parrot.
Bertie is a majestic blue gold macaw that my husband John and I shared our home with for three years. My husband recently passed due to a tragic accident and I no longer feel I can offer Bertie the care and attention he needs. Bertie is very sociable and requires mental stimulation for his well-being. Ideally you will have experience with this species. Please contact me at [REDACTED] if you can offer Bertie a good home. Lori Swift, Weymouth.
My heart broke for that woman and I hoped she was doing well these days.
I tried the same search with the other names. Nothing of note came up for Sonia Jones but a search for rohan singh ealing parrot yielded something interesting. It was an article on an online publication I wasn’t familiar with.
Mystery of missing traveller continues.
Do you remember the story of missing London man Rohan Singh? No? You’re not alone!
In 2018, paramedic Rohan Singh took a two month sabbatical to travel solo around Nepal and China. His family said it had been a dream of his since childhood. Rohan’s only dependent was an exotic parrot which he left in the care of his brother for the duration of his travels.
Rohan never returned home. His mother was the last person to have contact with him a week before he was due to...
These mystery cases always leave me feeling unsettled. Regardless of what happened to that man, poor Bertie’s history wasn’t looking good. He needed a forever home. Macaws can live to around 50 years and that’s a lot of potential future owners. I decided I wouldn’t let that happen; his forever home would be with me and Jackie O when she was well enough to return.
I purchased a large cage and had it installed in my living area. Moving him into the house made me feel better, and it seemed to ease Bertie too. His cage was his safe haven, but I opened the cage door every morning so he had free reign of the house while I was up and around. I also took him outside and let him fly free. My heart was in my throat the first time, I had no idea if he’d come back or fly away! But he came back after flying a lap around the grounds, landing on my hand when he returned.
Things were good for a week or so.
I woke up at ridiculous o’clock. It was just past 1am and that was unusual for me. My days are pretty active and I tend to sleep like a log once my head hits the pillow.
“Rory,” I heard a familiar voice say. I jumped out of my skin! I saw the outline of Bertie at the end of my bed. I must have left his cage open.
“You scared me Bertie,” I laughed, switching on the bedside lamp. He started walking up my bed until he was by my side.
“I love you too but you can’t sleep here. What if I roll over and squish you?”
He cocked his head at me as his pupils dilated, then he gripped my wrist with a claw. I yelled out in pain before something terrifying happened.
I saw things…
A tractor on its side on a country road, a smoking car mangled around a tree…
A hospital room, a bedridden woman smiles as a child hands her a drawing of a colourful bird…
An arm protruding from a pile of rocks is buried as more rocks fall from a steep cliff…
Then I was in a cage.
I’m looking through the silver bars. A middle-aged woman walks into the room wearing a dressing gown, drying her hair with a towel.
“Nora,” I say. “Nora, run!”
She turns and smiles at me. “That’s right Bertie, mummy just went for a run. Clever boy!”
“Run, Nora!”
She laughs. “I’ll run again tomorrow! I’m relaxing now Bertie.”
There’s a knock at the door. The woman leaves the room.
“Get out!” she shouts.
Then a man’s voice. “You fucking bitch!”
The woman runs into the room and picks up a fire poker. A man runs in behind her and forces it from her hands. He’s dressed in dark clothing wearing gloves and a hat.
“Let me go!” she screams. He pushes her to the floor, his hands around her neck.
“Nora, run, help!” I yell over and over.
“Shut your mouth!” the man roars at me. “Shut your fucking mouth bird!”
Before long the woman’s body is still. The man approaches the cage.
“Bye bye birdy,” he sneers. He opens the cage and reaches inside. I lash out with a claw.
“Keep the fucking noise down!” someone yells, then there are bangs on the wall. The man runs from the room.
The woman never gets up. I cry her name and cry for help. Over time her body becomes bloated and discoloured…
Then I was in familiar surroundings. What I call my jungle room, where I keep my creepy crawlies. It’s warm and humid, the perfect environment for them. But I’m in danger, I can feel it. Something is pressed against my head.
There’s an explosion of sound…
When I was back in my room I was screaming out loud.
It took me a moment to come to my senses, my heart threatening to burst from my chest. Bertie was looking up at me. A small trickle of blood ran down my wrist and my face was damp with sweat.
There came a loud noise from the back of my home, then the mammals in my care started to become vocal. I ran to the window and looked outside. Several security lights had come on. The shadow of a tall figure was stretched across the grounds, moving towards the house.
I heard a smash from downstairs.
I turned to Bertie, my eyes wide and my hands shaking. He stood on my bed looking at me, his wings outstretched.
“Rory, run!
I froze to the spot for longer than I should have in that situation, only snapping out of it by Bertie’s continued cry. He flew at me and I ran out of the bedroom, stopping on my landing to listen. There was someone snooping around my house.
“Oh my God,” I whispered to myself like a mantra. It sounded like they were in the kitchen at that moment. Bertie landed on the bannister, looking down the stairs. He started nodding his head, then looked at me.
“What,” I whispered. “You want me to go downstairs?”
He kept nodding his head at me.
“Are you crazy?”
He jumped down and glided to the bottom of the staircase.
“Bertie!” I said as quietly as possible, but he just cocked his head and walked out of sight.
I stayed close to the wall and slowly walked down the stairs, taking deep breaths. When I got to the bottom I could see my backdoor was open. Bertie hopped out and I listened out for the intruder before tiptoeing after him. It was cold. I was barefoot and only wearing a t-shirt and boxers!
Bertie was walking towards the jungle room, which is within a small independent building on my grounds. When he got to the door he stopped and turned to look at me, then he opened his wings. I had a flashback to what I’d seen earlier, to what he’d shown me.
“I really don’t think that’s a good idea,” I said, looking over my shoulder. He squawked at me and I put a finger to my lips. “Okay, fine!”
I opened the door and Bertie hopped in. I followed him after making sure the coast was clear. It’s like stepping into the Amazon, hence my nickname for it. It’s filled with various plantlife and wall to wall vivariums containing all kinds of creatures, but mostly reptiles and spiders. The lighting is low, and it’s kept at a constant temperature of 25°C with moderate humidity. I took a moment to appreciate the warmth.
Bertie flew up and perched on a plant. There was only one way in and out of the jungle room.
“What now,” I said. “We just wait it out here?”
I heard a click from behind me and my stomach dropped.
“Raise your hands and turn around,” came a voice. “Slowly.”
My heart began to palpitate as I followed the instruction. My hands shook above my head as I met the eyes of a strange man standing before me. He was pointing a gun.
“You must be the animal man,” he said. “Don’t mind me, I’m just here to take some off your hands.”
“Wha… What?” I said.
“Some of these critters fetch a fair price to the right buyer, did you know that?”
I shook my head. “Please sir, don’t take the animals. They’re very special, they need proper care. They’re not supposed to be pets.”
He started to laugh. “Boo-hoo! Do you think I give a fuck about that?”
“I have money,” I said. “And some belongings that might be worth something. You’re welcome to them. Please, just leave the animals.”
“Oh yeah?” he said. “And where might I find these things?”
“I’ll get them for you,” I said, lowering my hands.
“Uh-uh!” he snapped. “No way, get on your knees.”
“What?”
“Get on your fucking knees!”
I started to panic as I fell to my knees. The man pressed the gun against my head.
“Oh God,” I said, my whole body shaking. “Please don’t do this.”
“Where's the money?”
“There’s some in my wallet,” I stuttered. “By the front door. And upstairs in my bedroom closet, in a box on the top shelf.”
“Money laundering, huh?” he laughed. “Great, thanks. I’ll have a look once these furballs are in my van.”
He cocked the gun and I closed my eyes.
“Don’t do this,” I pleaded.
There came an explosion of sound and my ears rang. When I opened my eyes Bertie was clawing at the man’s hand as he tried to shake him off. Without thinking I leapt forward and knocked him down, the gun going off again. I heard something smash on the other side of the jungle room.
Bertie flew somewhere behind us as I tried to hold the man down, but that was silly. I’ve never had to defend myself and I was pinned within seconds.
“Dumb fucking bird!” he snarled, pointing the gun across the room.
“No!” I screamed, grabbing his arm with both hands. I pushed it to the floor with all I had and the gun slid away from us. I was disoriented as his fist met the side of my face, then his hands were around my neck.
“All over some fucking animals?” he spat. His face was screwed up into a hateful expression as I tried to free myself from his grip. He applied pressure and couldn’t breathe, my windpipe felt like it was being crushed.
From the corner of my eye I saw Bertie’s bright blue and yellow feathers getting closer, and I quietly appreciated his attempts at playing the hero.
Tears streamed down my face as my eyes fell on Bertie. But he wasn’t alone. Just in front of him was another small creature, one that Bertie was nudging towards us with his beak.
It was the inland taipan.
Why anyone would think it's a good idea to keep a deadly snake as a pet is beyond me, but in the moment I thanked that stupid person who attempted such a thing.
As soon as the man noticed the snake he freaked out, but I’m not sure if he realised just how dangerous it was. His eyes widened as he let me go and threw his arms out, but the snake was quick. It took a jab at the soft flesh of his neck, and then one on his hand for good measure.
I brought my body into the foetal position as it slithered past me, not wanting to risk a bite myself. Then it disappeared into the plants somewhere.
Bertie brushed against me as I caught my breath. Looking across the room I could see the snake’s tank had shattered. What are the chances the bullet hit the one tank containing a creature capable of certain death?
As I picked up Bertie and stood up on wobbly legs the man was in the stages of a total body shut down. He was convulsing and vomiting when I left the jungle room, a real nasty way to go. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.
Poor Bertie has had a rough go of it in life, but I hope we can be the forever home he deserves. Don’t get me wrong; I’m terrified about what he might say or do next, but I guess a heart-stopping warning is better than none at all.

Setup has about 300 rounds through it, runs like a top with the comp and 15lb spring. Barrel is showing a good bit of external wear. Slide and comp are in great shape. Red dot is a little salty, logos were blacked out with aluminum black but are starting to wear, tool marks and marks from a screw that was too big are noticable on the hs407c but do not impact function. Comp screws and front sight have red loctite, no loctite on red dot's screws.
(I know the gen 4 comp on gen 3 slide combo is a bit weird. It fits a gen 4 frame no problem, the comp would need to be removed, or the frame modified for a gen 3 frame. If it doesn't sell as it sits, then I'll remove the barrel, comp, and recoil spring/guide rod and sell them seperate.)
