He's quite sure that Cary is a bear cub. He thought I might want to be

an
eagle, with my 'wings' wrapped around the little bear cub for

protection.
But Eagles, to me, are very regal and wise and 'above' everyone else,

they
are the royalty of the animal kingdom. I do no not feel worthy of being
depicted as an Eagle.

You folks know me well enough, if you had to depict me in animal form,

what
animal would I be?


I wish I did know you better. But with a name like Yowie, a parrot is

coming to
mind. A big, bright macaw that looks like a festival of many colors.


A "Yowie" is akin to the American Bigfoot or Sasquatch.


A new one for my collection of folklore! I'm an armchair anthropologist and a
collector of anything related to world myth and legend.

Why did I pick
"Yowie" for my name? Well, when I was 11 I was incredibly tall (I am still
incredibly tall, but compratively I was even taller back then) and the kids
called my "Sasquatch". I had no idea what a sasquatch was at the time, but
knew it was an insult.


I can see it. It doesn't sound complimentary, whether you know what it is or
not.

When I found out, I was very hurt. But years later I had come to like the
Australian Bunyip (a boogie-man of sorts). And so I tried to get my first
Deja account under "Bunyip", but it was taken. "Yowie" wan't. And thus it
has been ever since. And I do have very big feet (size 12 - standard women's
shoes only go up to size 10!)


Speaking as one who also must strap battleships to my feet to go walking, I
sympathize.

And don't think they're not protective. I've spoken to members of our local


Hookbill Society and have been told you don't want to get in claw or beak

range
of a ****ed off parrot.


I have been bitten by my budgie, and a sulphur crested cockatoo. I would not
like to repeat either experience, and I don't thin either was biting very
seriously!

Wow, just from a budgie! I'd hate to be at the business end of a macaw.


Blessed be,
Baha

Yowie



I know this is late in the game, but I have just finished reading the very
long thread to your original question. When I first saw the name Yowie,
I thought of a black and white teenage kitten with its mouth wide open - -
talking up a storm. For Yowlet -- another tiny black and white kitten
content to be cuddled. As for myself (at this age) another cat who seeks
comfort and peace. MLB
