There are feral (or possibly just wild) parrots in the city I moved to last month. A flock of little green screeching birds has arrived in a tree outside my window. Can't get a clear enough look at them to tell what kind they are, but I think they're budgies. Florida sure seems to have a lot of them, I've seen budgie flocks in Fort Myers, Sarasota, Bradenton, Stuart, and now Lakeland.

Its always a dream that starts with me going to feed the borbs and discovering that whoops, I actually had like 4 more birds that I forgot about and they haven't been fed in months and look how sad they are and D:

The parrots currently (still) making a racket outside my apartment appear to actually be Nanday parakeets, not budgies. Neat.

mikerock posted:Does Kiwi sleep on his back? No  She’s generally very standard birb and perches, floofs, and falls asleep. She doesn’t like it if I try to hold her upside down or backwards either. I’m working on helping her explore her boundaries a bit (with that and not needing to be on my shoulder all the time) but she’s a rescue and I has some weird hangups

Kickstarter just reminded me there's 48 hours left on the bird bag project! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ohayou/the-bird-itabag It is SUPER over-funded which means there are a whole bunch of bird bags to choose from now

I was at the zoo today and as my partner & I were looking at an enclosure that had java finches and some fancy pigeons, a guy walks in and goes "UGH. birds" and walks out looking super disappointed. what a wanker. they had a pair of crimson bellied conures too, which were very nice. Couldn't get a photo though as the lighting was garbage.

I gave the lousy birds a few sprigs of fresh wheat and I've never seen them fight like that. Like holy poo poo, I'm watching so many obnoxious budgie kicks. And also Pesto is feeding Mayo during the squabble too??

So my friend who wanted to talk to me about birds, well. Guys. It turned out that some mutuals surprised him with three budgies because they knew he always wanted birds! Here's the thing. This guy lives with his dad right now and his dad is very much anti-bird. Dad's out of town right now but he'll be back tomorrow so my friend is expecting a huge blow-up and being ordered to get rid of the birds. So my friend is looking at people he can rehome the birds with, just in case, and I'm his first pick. Because he knows I love birds a lot! So he knows the budgies will be well cared for! I don't know if I can have five birds in a one room apartment, guys. Good lord. I told him that I'm not sure I can do that, even if I want to do that. And I'm so annoyed with the girls who did this. You don't surprise people with pets! The budgies are feisty sweethearts, though. They are full of Fight. One is white, one is blue, and one is yellow with a green splotch on its chest, which is a colour I haven't seen before. They're supposed to be two males and a female and be a year old, but honestly they all look really small so I wonder if they're younger than that, and their ceres all look light blue to me. Ugh. Birds.

Yesterday, Ms Cookies and I went to the aquarium near us, that also has a bird room. All the birds wanted to come say hi (and also see if we had some of the $1 containers of seed (we did, obv)) https://twitter.com/niceoneWern/status/1178645042552086529 Not Pictured/Camera Shy: indian ring necks and peach faced loveys

The green cheeks were such loving lovable doofuses, god they were adorable idiots. Two of them started preening my mustache. The sun conures were all business like "hey, um..... excuse me, I heard you had some seeds here. I'm here for the seeds now." You can see me in the last pic trying to calmly explain how I have no more seeds but that I'm happy they showed up anyway. And thank you, Plant monster

Went to Delaware for a wedding and stopped by M&D Bird World like I always do.

Ama will be on my monitor and Charlie will be on my knee and they'll be muttering back and forth at each other and then whoosh! one takes off towards the snack cabinet and the other starts yelling my name to be sure I'm paying attention. I suspect his "teaching" ability is largely that I am always sort of half-tuned to whatever's going on with him, and Charlie picked up that I speak English, I speak Conure, and I don't speak Senegal

I forgot to upload this a while ago. https://youtu.be/tZw6Chu2LYk Little bit old, Scallop and Chicken are in the same cage now. Yes, I did pick the chilli up after the video. I don't know why I re-dropped it. Also, I had Scallop out last night and noticed she's making a new noise. Whenever she does something bad I say "Oi" because I'm part bogan apparently. She knows this means she needs to stop (she'll look at me for a fraction of a second, move one step over, then go back to doing what she's doing at a different angle). The new sound is very close to Oi, and she only says it after I say it.
