I wonder if you do your hair differently if thatd help, like a bun instead of a ponytail or something.

Hopefully Brisbane gets cold soon and he realises its well and truly past breeding time and keeps it in his pants.

apparently this is a super comfy way to nap. Note the weird positioning of his right wing. This is because my little finger is underneath it and he doesn't give a gently caress.

Yeah, he's very small compared to the other GCCs I've seen. That means he's perfect for scooping up in both hands and mashing against my face though :buddy:

the perch idea is good, if i put the box of seeds on top of the scale then the bird will stand on the box to eat the seeds

Nah, I regularly pop him on it for weighing. It's funny watching him scoot around on the slippery surface though.

If it was small enough to fit in his mouth he'd probably bite it though, as it is red, which is a Biting Colour.

It's going to be even worse Back Home apparently (central/rural SE QLD). We hit a top of 45 last year, it was crazy.

My plan is to head into the uni and use all their aircon (and free internet).

Want to come to the States? Here, 45 means you have to wear a coat, not that your eyes might melt out of your skull if you step outside.

The downside is most of the population is idiots, barely anyone knows how to use/read metric, and Donald Trump is free to roam the landscape with his sentient hairpiece.

If I move overseas it'll probably be to the UK as I have dual citizenship, or wherever in the EU I can work with that. I admit I'm still kind of horrified by news stories from the US on a regular basis. Realistically I'll probably go to Melbourne at some point or go all out and move to Tasmania :v:

Bird question time. When using a bird phone, do you talk into the butt and listen to the beak, or talk into the beak and listen to the butt. I ask because Simon really likes to be a phone and I want to make sure that I am getting the best reception.

I usually talk into the butt and listen to the beak, because Taco likes to nibble on ears but will bite your chin/lips if you taco phone him.

Into beak, deal with ear biting. Ohtori will deliberately poo poo on you after bird phone-ing him so...
