--- Quote from: The Peregrine Chick on November 03, 2010, 16:09 ---Ivy is a very "English" female name but Ivy got his name because he is fourth (IV) generation Radisson male. And yes, his name is spelled "Ivy" not "IV", the latter is just too impersonal. Took a chance naming him this, no way to know if he would survive to actually be a fourth generation breeding Radisson bird.

How will you decide when to "take a chance" and specially name a Radisson male chick of the fifth generation, since Ivy (the fourth generation) is now a breeding
Radisson bird.
Pam:
Very interesting about Sewage Sue. I happened to be wearing one of my tshirts today and actually commented to Doug that I wondered how on earth
A name like Sewage Sue could happen!
Kinderchick:
Thanks for answering my question about Trey & Madame's 2000 & 2001 chicks, TPC. :) Also, really interesting story about "Sewage Sue". :-X (lips sealed and nose plugged!) :P ::)
birdcamfan:
Thank you. Not a very nice name but a very interesting story. I thought there must be something behind it.

Ah, Sewage Sue. Sewage Sue was a captive-bred chick from the CWS Wainwright breeding facility in Alberta that we hack released from a site in Portage la Prairie in 1994. Shortly after fleding, we believe she clipped a vehicle on the Portage la Prairie overpass but managed to land in one of the lagoons in the Portage la Prairie Waste Treatment Plant which probably saved her from more damage. Fortunately it was the last stage treatment pond, so while she was covered in bits, they were harmless bits. They looked and felt like dark brown crushed leaves, kinda cool actually. She was fished out without further damage and I brought to a vet clinic here in Winnipeg for treatment. Took us 3 days of washing her every 5-6 hours to finally get all the bits out of her feathers. She broke her shoulder which healed she was not releasable so we arranged for her to live at a conservation/breeding centre in Ontario. The story is that she fell in love with the human manager of the Centre. An exciting start, a messy middle and a happy ending. The perfect story.
