Connor0729;1274682; said:i take Singulair for my allergies, cause i'm not old enough to get shots yet. the meds help alot, and i find that if i don't take the pills regularily, i get stuffed up and i feel like crap.
i might talk to my parents about getting a low-allergie bird.
btw, thanks for all of the help guys, i really appreciate it.

Hardest part about getting the shots is the initial test. You get 100 shots on each arm to test for allergy reaction. It REALLY, really sucks. I recently stopped getting shots though, I wanted to see if just taking my pill would work, and I'm doing fine. Might start doing shots again once spring starts.
Listen to Liz though, she's a Bird Master!

Connor0729;1274882; said:yeah, i've had the initial test. it wasn't TOO bad, but it was pretty irittating. my doctor won't let me get them yet because he says that i have to develope more, or my allergies might change.
and as far as ostriches go, there is an emu farm like 20 minutes from my house, so i could probably get some from there. the problem with big birds would be space, as most of our yard is consumed by our pool.

Emu's are awesome. I used to live near an Emu farm, one time and emu let me pet on top of its head! If I had a huge yard, maybe a pasture for horses, It'd be cool to get some emus.
From what I hear, there meat is pretty tasty, as are the eggs.![]()
. i remember that the needle that represented cats made me swell up bad.
