Pfft, demon.

Azezal got his a** kicked by Mephisto so easy.

I heard that the original actor for Nightcrawler in XM2 was features in a TV show that had very graphic sexual scenes, and so Stan Lee didn't include him in future films. I'm hoping it changes. Nightcrawler is so important DX!

And as for merchandise, I actually would like to know myself. I mean perhaps places like FYE or Hot Topic, but they mainly sell the "Well-Known" such as Green Lantern or Wolverine. Mainly DC stuff too.

May I suggest Ebay? You can get almost anything faster, better, and oh so much cheaper <3.

I hope so too! According to the comics he had came a while after Cyclopes, Jean Grey, though know, them.

I'm hoping so too. They had Mystique, they had his daddy, they better have him!

X-men, Nostalgia Critic and Glee? Excuse me while I fangirl at your choices in fandoms before returning to my lurking of the SF. :3

Dunno. I'm thinking someplace cool (I tire of the sun). Maybe we go get lunch somewhere?

We... should... most definitely see each other and catch up before we head off to our respective colleges(?)

For now, that's enough after noting the fate of Movie!-Havok(apparently more like his Ultimate!-self rather than his 616-self!)
If only we get to hear more on Corsair, next.

Also, your thoughts on the upcoming T.H.G movie?

It's not impossible, but hard(er) if people such as myself are behind.
But, yeah, I hear ya. I spoke to a scientist and that dream went flat not even in a second, lol.

Thanks for asking!

Things to avoid-

There really isn't any specific type of toy that's harmful, unsafe toys depend on a bird's size. Toys suitable for budgies are probably going to be too small, and therefore hazardous, to a really big bird like a macaw.

You want to avoid toys that have very small parts as to pose a possible choking hazard, such as very small beads (most bead-like things on parrot toys are big enough, though). Also want to stay away from things that the feet, nails, or neck can get entangled into- frayed strings on rope toys are most often guilty of this. You still want to have rope toys, they're very fun for birds, but you should regularly inspect them to make sure none of the tassels are frayed enough as to pose danger. Also want to avoid things that have 'rings' big enough that the bird's head can get fit through and consequently cause the bird to be hung- think along the line of very big keychains, or cages that have bar spacing too wide for the bird. Rings often make good bird toys, you just need to be sure they're of a proper size.

Types of toys...try it all. Variety is best at first- when you see the bird play with them and actually make a preference, you can then start angling it toward what he likes. So, just try a combination when you first get him. Have some rope toys, some shreddable/chewable toys (these often have little tassels and whatnot that the bird can tug on and tear apart), some wooden toys, some plastic toys. There are toys that you hang and 'foot toys', which the bird holds in their foot and then manipulates. Toys made for very young children often made good bird toys- if the item is safe enough to be teethed and destroyed by human children, nearly all the time it's safe for birds too. I've heard of something like [url=http://www.1888toys.com/productimages/kc-a113-anatex/KC-A113-MCW1002-Mini_Curves_and_Waves_2_Rollercoaster_-_Educational_Toy_by_Anatex-image.jpg]this[/url] being really enjoyed by a cockatoo, but then again they're larger birds- often larger birds are more interactive with their toys.

You should have multiple 'playgyms' set up around your house, particularly where your conure will be spending the most time in. These are basically like the equivalent of a birdie playground- there should be some perches, a ladder or two, toys dangling down, some foot toys laying around, just be creative!

DIY toys are by far the best though. Birds tear up toys so quickly, DIY is affordable and lets you create exactly what you want. There are thousands of DIY toy plans on the internet, just go through them and check them out. Often times, birds prefer their owner's DIY toys over the generic store-bought ones!

Shreddable/chewable toys are by far the most important, as they help keep the beak in proper shape as well as occupy the bird.

Plastic toys...they have their place, but I wouldn't use them as the sole material of toy. Plastic toys often come in bright colors (which birds like), are fairly inexpensive, as well as take a long time to destroy and are available in all sorts of forms. But, by being fairly resistant against parrot destruction, it means the bird doesn't reap the numerous benefits of chewing. They should be available, but I also like including more natural things such as wooden blocks, ropes and burlap tassels, paper, etc.

Look into captive foraging! It's awesome, I believe every bird owner should do it. It enriches the bird's mind, improves dexterity, keeps them occupied and sharp. Captive foraging is like interactive feeding in a way- a treat is hidden into some sort of toy, bird has manipulate items to get to it. You usually start out as simple as just laying a piece of paper over the food dish, requiring the bird to move the paper in order to get the treat. Then you might start wrapping a couple sunflower seeds within paper, then give the paper roll to the bird to rip into and get the treat out. As the bird becomes better, there's toys out there requiring
