But now we have 2 of nature's beirbs and they actually get along. And they're actually friendly. Really weird what the universe sends our way. But we're new to this & I have no clue what I'm doing. I wish they'd get used to their store brought food. And if they come to us, & we gotta domesticate them, is it wrong to keep wings in a cage? Bc if they come to us, isn't that them telling us they may not make it out there? Well, at least they won't ever hafta worry about being killed. I always come here just to talk about pets :/. Gonna see how they react to this now 😊 bc apparently all animals love music. Especially birds 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️

So they would make money, not lose. We never went to the Moon. Nor is the Earth like a golfball. Conspiracy people often get labeled bonkers. Newsflash: They are generally a lot smarter than the sheep who think the government is their friend and that MSM tells them the truth. The mongrels who have subverted scripture calling themselves "Gods chosen" run most things in this world, including popculture. Christ warned us about the Pharisess who are Lucifers mortal minions.

Underrated drummer and could have been the best...if he could have stopped sticking a needle in his arm and shooting up. Lets throw in that he got fired from the band after he and his band mate injected heroin together and his band mate died right in front of him, and arrested for possession right after that. He could have been one of the best instead of a former drug addict.
