Such dainty sips :3:

Does he check the rim of the cup for temperature before sticking his beak in, or does he just start drinking away? Pookie always checks the rim, ever since she stuck her beak in a fresh cup of tea when she was a baby and got a very hot surprise.

I never paid attention to that. I'm always careful to make sure any food or drink he gets aren't hot. I'll have to watch him next time.

It was funny because the mug was actually empty, but he saw the mug and jumped on my desk to check it out. He kept looking at me so I put some juice in it for him.

The Pookie thing happened when when was about 6 months old and she's nearly 19 now but she has never forgotten the great tea betrayal.

Speaking of huts, do any of you have issues with them? I've read the horror stories. We have two or three that we rotate when one needs to go in the washing machine, and if one is looking threadbare, we toss it. Only our lovebird uses one, and he doesn't seem to chew on it anyway.

Kiiinda! With how timing and stuff works out I use timed lights and partly covered cages to handle their lighting cycle while still offering warmth, it's not ideal but beats not seeing them much at all I think! I've been debating getting them cuddle huts proper

I've been watching this Russian lady on youtube lately. From what I can understand from google translate and the odd English-subtitled video, she works as a falconer at the Moscow Domodedovo airport, and she has a pet eagle owl in her apartment because of course she does. It's a very well behaved bird but jesus christ it's loving huge and I just can't get over videos like this one where she comes home to her World of Warcraft gaming rig to find this girl perched on the headrest of the gaming chair:

peep those claws :eyepop:

Incredibly fun channel with a whole bunch of various birds and a lot of interesting bird facts, like for example how to force feed a concussed goshawk if it doesn't want to eat (that one is even subtitled in English). Also this viral pop culture phenomenon, plus blooper reel (with subtitles):

There's a video where she has to trim the beak on that eagle owl, and well, let's just say she needs some reinforcements to pull it off because the owl does not like it.

How do cockatiels survive in the wild. How is that a reasonable spot to lay an egg.
