Also, Curiosity Rover Jones is just an unspeakably badass bird name and I wish I'd thought of something equally as cool for my potatoes. Speaking of: potato cage arrived. It's heavy. Also, turns out Montana cages are made in Germany and all the English on the instruction leaflets is hilariously bad.

Bird #3 decided to ask to join me on the desk, then sort of cuddled up to my arm in desperation for preening (with a bunch of chewing on my body armour/anti-conure protection/hoodie)     Then when I stopped after the last photo he instantly launched himself at my arm and latched on so I just lifted him up and he was very confused why he was upside down in the air and his assault wasn't working  Space bird Padje posted:This is Martin Scorsese.

Gaston's not only managed to fledge and leave the nest and grow up, but he's managed to get to almost the top of of the pecking order. Dude's just swole from a high protein diet consisting of the flesh of his foes (and Dreggon)

Is anyone going to the Baltimore Bird Fanciers show and mart this Saturday? http://www.baltimorebirdfanciers.org/FallBirdShow.htm Mr. Chicken and I are planning to go, we've never been to an actual judged bird show, and I'm excited at the idea of seeing a batch of prize winning lovebirds. We've both swore that we're not going to get any birds, toys are totally acceptable though! It's gonna be a 5 to 6 hour drive, so we're staying overnight and gonna hopefully go a few other spots too. Anyone got bird store ideas in the Baltimore area?

Hm, I was planning on carpooling with Connie's person to the Annapolis Boat Show this weekend but I wonder if we could theoretically hit two birds with one stone...well, so to speak.

So I forgot to mention I did end up calling the corporate customer service line on that one PetCo I went to. It got escalated and then I had the manager call me to explain the state of his birds. He claimed he got them checked out by a vet, the reason that her stool looked like it had blood in it was that she preferred red pellets, and that it was normal for that particular bird to stay in place all day. I didn't agree necessarily but I thanked him for calling and I'm hoping perhaps it might result in some good for those poor birds. At least I hope so. I know I posted a bit earlier about Kiwi nuzzling, but that more more her getting startled by a noise and flying out of her cage and me putting her on my shoulder instead of right back in her cage. I'm still not certain what is the best to do, because I want her to be more bold but I don't want to scare her either. However, she has been making leaps and bounds. For some reason, Kiwi very much likes me to rub her beak. I have to be careful not to hold it, because she freaks out, but rubbing she likes and it calms her down. I just started to transition more to head scratching. I'm not sure how to transition comfortable with touching her head to ok with being picked up or wanting her to explore more. I've been leaving it up to her, but she doesn't seem to care much. Here's a pic of her enjoying a peanut. Excuse the dirty cage, it's been really hard to keep it clean because she won't let me pick her up or leave the cage so I've been stuck only cleaning the obvious messes.  Also, the bigger birds go through toys like mad. It's crazy. I've replaced all her old toys (almost all were the smallest nubs of wood somehow held together) that were given to me when I got her. She promptly destroyed one of the new ones and is well on her way through another.

Ok, so I have a 4 week old parakeet and its mom and dad, posted the last pic I have of them here: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3513778&pagenumber=339&perpage=40#post451370202 Dad (Curiosity Rover Jones) only got to see Jr. for the first time about two days ago, and prudently stays out of his way. Just tonight I saw the most adorable thing. He approaches Jr. and tries coughing up some crop milk to feed him for the first time, but Jr. isn't taking it. After a few minutes of trying, dad continues coughing up bird barf and begins depositing it on the bars of the cage in little liquid beads. A few minutes later, I come in to see Jr. licking the bars of the cage. Ok one more pictureless vignette (sorry I know you folks thrive on images): mama bird (Potassium) is done feeding Jr. and starts preening his head, a motherly attention which he digs. But she's used to getting the lion's share of head scratching so she loses interest and instead and starts mashing her head into his beak. Jr's perplexed and moves around in this I don't know how to move out of your way yet, what did I do, oh god what is happening way and tries to get out of her way. She gets frustrated and gets on top of him and starts smashing her head onto him like, RUB MY HEAD YOU IMBECILE, LIKE THIS, and twists her head upside down rubs the top her head onto his. Poor Jr. just starts squealing, he doesn't know what's going on. It's like Seinfeld trying to get a massage.

I would love to live in a place where you can put out bird food and receive cockatoos, would certainly be a harsh lesson for next door's cat.

Dreggon posted:treating me like a goddamn department store Can you ever leave your doors open, or is there a chance you'll wake up to a cockatoo flock destroying your living room? I like to think it goes like an older comedy. The boss is coming over, you just finished making dinner, and all of a sudden a single cockatoo lands on the roast. Then two more fly in. And then more. All of a sudden, 15 cockatoos are knocking over the crystal and swimming in the punch and oh no! Now you'll never get that promotion!

For the Melbourne edition replace the cockatoos with a pack of Kangaroos breaking down the fencing then destroying everything you hold dear in your garden.

Huxley has decided he loves showers. I generally fill both their dishes from above (after I wash and put them back) so I don't spill trying to hook the clips on, but his prerogative is to get his whole body over the water dish, go maximum fluff, and then get the water all over him instead. It takes me ten times as long to fill his dish and makes an awful mess but it's so cute I can't even be mad.
