Most lovebirds can't be sexed based on a visual examination. In fact, the most common type kept as a pet, the peach-faced lovebird, has to be DNA tested to truly determine the sex.  Some people argue that female lovebirds are generally smaller than male lovebirds. This is only visible in certain breeds of lovebirds. Some people also assert that a female lovebird's feet are perched wider apart than a male's feet. This has to do with the assumption that a female's pelvis is wider than a male's.This depends on the species. Unlike many other types of birds, most types of lovebird coloring does not differ based on sex. There are some exceptions, however, such as the Madagascar lovebird. The male Madagascar lovebird has grey on its head, while the females are solidly colored green. In general, when lovebirds are interested in mating they tend to shred paper, whether they are male or female. This seems to be true across species, with Fischer's and peach-faced lovebirds, for example, exhibiting the same behavior regardless of sex.   While some argue that females are better at paper shredding, and so can be spotted by their skill and precision, this seems to be a difficult way of determining sex.  Some suggest that birds that tuck the paper into their tail feathers are likely to be females. If lovebirds are kept in a pair, they tend to form an intense bond. It does not matter what the sex of the birds are. Birds kept together will become a unit. Bonded pairs of the same sex are even known to work on nesting together.

One-sentence summary -- Determine if you have a breed of lovebird that has unique sex characteristics. Do not rely on paper shredding and nest-building behavior to sex your bird. Don't assume that a bonded pair of lovebirds are male and female.


A fair amount of public locations, such as businesses and shops, have wireless networks associated with them. While many of these networks are unprotected--meaning you don't need a password to access them--they are also often insecure networks with minimal protection. This is the series of radiating waves in the top right corner of your screen. If you're in an area with wifi capability, you'll see at least one network name. If you have the option of picking a password-protected network over an unprotected one, go with the protected network--being able to connect to a secure network is worth the hassle of having to ask an official (e.g., shop staff) for the password.  Depending on your location, you may have to pay a fee (or purchase merchandise) before you can use a protected network. If you end up choosing an unprotected wifi network, be careful about the information you view and input while using it. Other users may be able to view this information as well. Generally speaking, the network in question will have the strongest signal out of all the surrounding networks. If the network has a password, you'll need to type it in first. Only do this if you use this network often. You should now be connected.

Another way rooms get messy quickly is when we throw our clothes on the floor. Either we're changing into new ones or clean ones end up on the floor when we're picking out the day's outfit. To avoid a mountain of clothes forming, tackle this issue every day. When it's just a few pieces, it'll take a matter of seconds. You probably go through one or two pairs of shoes a day, too. Instead of kicking them off and wondering where they wind up, put them back in their spot – ideally a shoe rack or other designated area. How easy is it to take all your clean laundry, dump it on your bed, and call it a day? Too easy, that's what. Unfortunately, then you wind up with yet another pile of clothes to deal with and they're clean, sure, but now they're wrinkly. Resist the urge to be lazy and put them away when they're fresh out of the dryer. You'll be glad you did. Again, make sure you're putting it back how you want it – not just putting it back so it gets out of the way. Your closet needs to stay organized as much as your room does. Every day you probably go through a handful of things: a book or two, some toiletries, some papers, video games, make up, etc. Take a second to put everything back in its place that you've used today, even if you need it tomorrow. Alright, if you need it tomorrow, you can go easy on yourself. Just put the items in an easily accessible area that you can grab and go when necessary. A mid-level shelf is a good bet.

One-sentence summary -- Pick up your clothes and organize your shoes. Put away clean laundry immediately. Take five minutes to pick up your knickknacks.


Fill the lower part of a steamer with water and heat, on the stove, over medium heat until the water steams and starts to simmer.  Do not boil the water. Do not fill the steamer high enough for water to slip up through the holes of the steamer basket. If you do not have a steamer, you could use a stockpot and a metal colander with fine holes. Make sure that the colander fits over the lip of the stockpot without falling in. Spread the kernels out into a single layer.  Canned corn kernels can also be used, but they will finish cooking in a much shorter amount of time. They may also be soggier once finished. You do not need to thaw frozen corn kernels before use. Allow the corn to steam for 9 to 10 minutes without covering it. Drain once finished. Canned kernels will only need to steam for 3 or 4 minutes. Steamed corn can be served with butter and salt as well as other seasonings.
