Nah just scritches. Murder would require Charlie to not be lazy.

This is a really beautiful little documentary. Warning: It is incredibly sad for a large part of it so skip to around 42:00 if you would prefer the happy endings instead. Lou and Princess :unsmith:

I like how that documentary starts off with a crazy moluccan cockatoo. Speaking of moluccans, what's Max up to?

He's tantruming for an entire evening because he heard a specific sound he dislikes.

That's a really strange way Max just sits there bobbing back and forth. He seems to be feeling really uncomfortable.

Skillet certainly thinks so! Clearly, he spends too much time watching conspiracy videos on youtube.

No guts no glory.

I mean, they probably won't go for out guts... right?

Also, we're T -4 hours from vet annual checkup. Pearl's beak may not be as shiny by the end of it.

ETA: Oh jeez Ohtori is plotting something big this time.

My heart is breaking atm :(

My mom is in the hospital, and needing surgery within the next few days. I spent all day today trying to get in touch with Cricket's breeder to have her boarded there since they know each other already. But, I ended up having to make arrangements at the vet for her to stay since I am leaving tomorrow :(

I feel horrible atm that she is going to be somewhere with people she doesn't know well, and that she isn't going to understand its only temporary.

I miss her terribly already :( I feel like an awful bird mom...if my husband was able to be home I would just leave her here, but he leaves early in the am and gets home late...thats not fair to her or him.

Please tell me she is gonna be ok??

She'll be okay. She might be cranky at first when you get her back, but it'll pass when she remembers that you're a good human. It's difficult, but it sounds like you didn't really have much of a choice. At least you know she'll be in good hands at a vet :)

She'll be fine. We thought Taco would chuck a wobbly when we got her back from boarding after a week away, but she was super happy to see us and wasn't mad at all.

I feel so much better atm....her breeder finally called me and we have Cricket going to stay with her instead of the vet. It is such a huge weight off my shoulders! Now I just have to worry about my mom....but at least I know baby birdie will be with someone she knows already and trusts. That makes a world of difference to me!

I know she wont be happy with me most likely, but knowing she is with people she knows already is a good thing to me. Thanks for not laughing at my little bird obsession.....she is one of the most important things in my life to me.
