I just want to post a quick general reminder to everyone. Copyright is a pretty serious legal situation and it applies both to blocks of text and to images. An image is copyrighted to whoever created it. It doesn't need a (C) on it or a name or any other notice. If someone creates an image, they own it. This applies to drawn images, to photographs and to any other created image.

So please make sure if you have any image on this forum - whether you use it in a post or as your avatar - that you are 100% the owner (creator) of that image. The fines for copyright violations can be $25,000 or more - that's a lot of money!

Just as a note - you *can* file for a copyright if you want to - it gives you added protection! I have the steps here -

http://www.lisashea.com/workfromhome/rights/copyrightfiling.html

this puts your drawing, photo, writing or whateveer on file with the US Copyright Office, which then has reciprocal arrangements with other governments' offices. You don't have to go file your work with every single government!

It's well worth it if you are an artist who is worried about people stealing and using your work!

I need help to download e-book I paid for

help!!

you need to directly e-mail Lisa, click on the envelope wit the single person standing by it and she should get back to you when she can.

Hope it works out for you.

hi!

Thanks Lisa!

hey!!! i love your site lisa!!

ur site rox my sox!

Thanks for the info, Lisa.

Yes, thanks! I had assumed that avatar images in the "public domain" area of Photobucket were okay to use, but your posting has made me rethink that, so I've replaced it with my own photo.

Hi Lisa,
I understand this problem and I will try to comply with good pictures and my own images.Michael Colorado USA

hi Lisa love your forum,everyone is so helpful it has really grown since last winter when I joined the forum;one can barely keep up with all the questions.everyone shoul also be reminder that Lisa training forum is required reading.it would help to safe a lot of question being repeated.

4 budgies did you find jake?

your site is awesome, thanks for all the info.....sheilla........my pics of my cages...

i agree the site is awesome as usual, but i have to agree with bigbadmomma, if there was someway to inforce your training page to be read. that would help alot and keep things from getting repeated and people from getting aggravated. thanks for all your hardwork lisa.

hello..im just signed as a new member...we have 2/keets....1 male,,1/female..........they share a moderate size cage...my ?/is...the male seems to flap his wings alot........is this just a sign of him showing whose boss? or just stretching?

plus the female just luvs to hang/upside down???????
have no clue on that one...............but they are fun to watch and interact w/!

Hi Elsenorpapa! Welcome to the forum! I'm a new keet owner too but just wanted to tell you my boys do the same thing. They like to play acrobat and hang from their toys :-) and I've been told its a form of exercise for them to hold onto their perch and flap their wings like crazy. Also probably helps get rid of itchy loose feathers. Also FYI - feel free to post a new topic for your questions if you don't find an answer in anyone else's posts...I find its easier to monitor that way instead of putting the question in a reply to another topic :-)

Also thanks so much for this forum Lisa!
