A ritual has evolved in my house

We do not cage Skillet and Boo together at night, so in the morning when I uncover their cages I will give them each a little food and let them have their breakfast. Most days, Skillet spends this time serenading Boo while Boo eats.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TdM1BomIB8

This will go on until Boo is ready to get out, at which point he will attempt to hercules his way out of his cage by bending the bars. He'll also make a go at the gates, but he hasn't figured out fully how to open them yet, though he's got a few good strategies that are almost on the cusp of making sense so we will probably have to zip tie those. I call this the morning struggle:

I was looking at Gotcha the Cockatoo's instagram account and I noticed that his owner just had a baby! I can't imagine how difficult it must be to look after a newborn and still make sure a crazy cockatoo gets the attention and freedom he needs without biting the fingers off of the little child.

Apparently five levels of Deep Dreaming makes it a rare dream!

Toast's butt is a fish eating a multi-headed snake
turtle heads coming out of Toast's full crop "I heard there was a party here, what's up!"

Went out grocery shopping and also acquired casuarina cones for Toast. He has decided they are the best thing ever, even better than grape stalks, and must be scattered over my keyboard posthaste.

You can zoom in and see the pearl-like markings quite clearly, do all lutinos have those?



Both for a second chance at answer, and because I found a feather today:



I don't want to be all "my trash birb is actually a special snowflake" but isn't that a definite pearl marking? (lovely camera, and much easier to see irl, sorry)

The gentletiel in question right now:



We cleaned the cages out yesterday and came across a bag of sand that Steve came with when we bought him, so dumped it in to see what he thought. He seems pretty happy with it, and as a bonus he can't bury himself in the back corner now like when there were paper towels there.



Ohtori investigated while we were putting in, and was extremely distrusting and didn't like it. Half tempted to put some in Inko's cage, since he sleeps on the floor under paper towels and passes the time before being uncovered by chewing them, and I'm curious what he'd do (REEEEEE) when faced with the sand instead.

A month after Zeke died, I stumbled across a Craigslist posting for a bird that wasn't in the best of situations. "I'm just going over to help educate them about proper bird care," I insisted to my coworkers. "I don't need five birds again. It's too soon."

And Steve is a male, making the pearl part more awkward. At the least he appears to be a pied lutino, can there be such a thing as a male pearl pied lutino?

He is a very Serious Sennie indeed. He likes to ask me "whatcha doing?" and tells me every morning that I should "let [him] out." He also likes to say hello, preen my eyelids, and TRY TO REGURGITATE FOR ME TO PROVE WHAT AN AMAZINGLY VIRILE AND HELPFUL PROVIDER HE WILL BE FOR OUR CHILDREN.
