Yea, sorry, that's what I meant. Nothing actually for sale, though it's at least good to look at. Sigh.The buy buttons were there when I posted, all the picotins though literally vanished within seconds, like magic

Hopefully I am in the right place to ask this. Does anyone know or have a pic of how slouchy a Picotin 22 can get? Specifically the handles, how badly do they slouch down when placed on the chair/table?
Yes, I will be getting an insert for the base. (recs on which one you use will be appreciated TIA)
Thank you
Ooo, I LoVe it! Thanks SO much for the pic. I hope it’s okay to ask, what size is yours?View attachment 5594844
This is mine, I don’t use an insert at all in mine as I prefer it slouchy - hope this helps
It’s a 22Ooo, I LoVe it! Thanks SO much for the pic. I hope it’s okay to ask, what size is yours?
Ohh, it is gorgeous on you! I’m debating on getting a 26Might just be the particular photo.
For reference I’m 5ft 4in. View attachment 5595202
I don’t tend to lock the bag so I use my old Hippo Cadena as decoration instead of the padlock.Ohh, it is gorgeous on you! I’m debating on getting a 26
Also, you don’t use a lock?
Is there a specific thread for those looking to purchase their first Birkin at a store?
Also, a 2022 price list?
Thanks!
OMG I love owls and all these beautiful photos (even this funny one)! Years ago I worked with a raptor research organization where we would lure, trap, weigh, measure, tag and release various Birds of Prey. Soooooo cool. The best experience was working with the tiny Saw Whet Owls https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Northern_Saw-whet_Owl/idBack to Owls…. I had no idea they had such long legs under all their plumage until my friend showed me this picture online.
I love how ashamed the poor owl looks at having his legs on show!
@eagle1002us Sadly I never get to see Owls in the wild here in the UK.
As a child I wanted a pet Owl really really badly...I always was a bit of an oddball I guess!

Thats incredible! A little scary too after hearing about the damage their talons can do.OMG I love owls and all these beautiful photos (even this funny one)!

They were so docile, you could actually pluck them from their roosting place snuggled against a pine trunk. Cutest/weirdest thing about them was just how much of them is made up of "fluff". Well, all owls actually, and if you look at the fuzzy knickers on the snowy owl posted earlier, note that everything is designed to silence any sound for stealth hunting. Even those toes! Anyway, the Saw Whets are so tiny that to weigh them we used open-at-both-ends empty frozen orange-juice cans. Stick the owl head first into the can, the diameter of which is about half of the owl's "fluffed" head. Weigh owl & inspect tail feathers for stress bands, pull owl back out and it just fuzzed back up like a very wide pipe cleaner. Put owl on arm and wait for it to fly off........which for some took a long time to do. Some would just sit there on the arm checking out the world, and you could even scritch the head and neck and it'd close it's eyes like ahhhh that feels good thanks for sorting out my feathers!
One time a Screetch owl bonked him/herself on our patio window. I grabbed my hubby's welding gloves* to bring said owl into the back hall (I had parrots and had to keep them very separated). Owl was pretty stunned and didn't track me properly with it's eyes at first but after a few hours I couldn't find it in the back hall. It was perched on the top of a pile of towels on a rack, looking down on me.
* those talons can go right through a hand.

That story of the Grey makes me chuckle. The things they do to entertain themselves! That poor dog!Thats incredible! A little scary too after hearing about the damage their talons can do.
And those Saw Whet Owlsso precious..the work you did with them sounds really interesting, I mean I dont know anyone who's 'and what did you do today?' response would be.."oh I just weighed some tiny owls" !!!!
You mention you have a parrot?
I've wanted an African grey ever since I had a friend in my 20's who had one as her family pet..He was so funny! and incredibly clever and naughty (doing things like telling the dog off in the voice of my friends mother the moment the dog went into the kitchen.."get out Olive!!!!" he would shout and poor Olive would creep out looking sheepish with her tail between her legs )
Problem is they live about 80years and my DH and I have no offspring to 'leave' a Parrot to.
I've thought of going to a Parrot rescue when I retire to see if they have any Parrots that are elderly and need rehoming but then theres the fear I'd get a very sweary one that sings football songs or something (yes I've heard of this happening!) and it would drive us to distraction!!![]()
