He even decided that he was brave enough to go through the hallway where the Big Terrifying Mirror is without flipping the gently caress out like usual, so we could do dishes together like when he was a baby and I lived in a studio apartment  Good birb.(Then he realized that I'd put millet and a bunch of cut up crunchy vegetables and poo poo in his cage and I became way less interesting  )

 Galileo. Gali. What are you doing, you have a perfectly good cuttlebone that you barely use but you'll gnaw on the swinging perch. ...Okay.

Like the t-rex touching every part of the electric fence, probing for weakness, my bird has bit every part of my hand and found the skin right above the nail bed is thin and clearly the best way to get attention. Webbing between thumb and forefinger is just fun to chew the hell out of, poo poo is like meat flavored bubblegum. long time favorite to just chew the hell outta that webbing. Never get yelled at doing that but when he's mad...

 Well, we did it, we got another budgie. This is Yoshi, when we were picking him up and before he became utterly terrified of both of us. He's two months old and he was hand-trained already, but of course, the new environment and being taken from his siblings was very overwhelming He's in his cage with the choice of a few toys (we stuck with three - trying not to overwhelm him yet), currently standing perfectly still on one perch toward the front of the cage, refusing to move and staring at us with a glare of utter betrayal. I walk over periodically and put my hand in and just talk to him softly for a bit, and he blinks his eyes a little, so we're making progress. He's been so quiet! I think he's chirped once. He hasn't had any water yet, which is the only thing that worries me, but I think when we're not looking at him, he'll maybe hop over and have a few sips. It'll be a long road to earning his trust, but I'm very happy to have a birb around again.

We are attempting, now, to win him over with half a vegetable cube with some corn. So far he has made the "I will bite you! Go away!" face, and we rejoiced in the fact that he communicated, and in a way that we understand.

My boyfriend was worried about both me and Fuji mourning Hara, so today I was suddenly given a small baby booge. It's so young that I don't know if it's a boy or a girl, but it's really helped Fuji. He's stopped frantically flock calling, at least, which I think is a good sign. I'm not sure how I feel about it, because I don't think I would have gotten another bird for myself so soon after losing Hara, but I'll love the little thing as best I can. I'm thinking I'm gonna name it Echo, because it only ever peeps if Fuji does.

I should point out that we do not technically know if Yoshi is a boy or a girl budgie as well, although we're pretty sure he is a boy.

I had a parakeet when i was 12, he was the sweetest thing. Loved to chase his bell. Chase a little jingle bell all across the floor. And I lost my footing and stepped on him. Just a little. Oh god I was so scared. Didn't make a sound for three days. Just wobbled on his perch like the world was suddenly a dark, cruel place. He was never sweet again and only wanted to rub his dirt button on stuffed animals and bully the other bird. My advice for a, what do you call it, budgie? Is to not step on it and break its trust in humanity.

We weren't sure about it, but while we were going over possible names in the car, I said "YO-shiiiiii!" and suddenly, for the first time since we had met him, he looked excited about something other than millet, so he sort of chose his own name. I am definitely going to teach him to say that.

Chuck (who just passed) would say her name and warble pretty bird up until my old room mate taught her a super loud, distinct whistle. The horse whistle in Red Dead Redemption would trigger hours of listening to this drat whistle. Thankfully Chuck got to see my old room mate a week ago. Instant loud whistles.

I think that's Putni on left, Pion on right? They've been fun to watch, especially at night when you can see what they're up to and where/how they sleep

mikerock posted:The MGs that these Australian bogans were trying and failing to use would have most likely have been Vickers MGs which were used into the 1960s. They were actually Lewis guns, though I'm sure Vickers would have been a more sensible choice. Also at the time, the use of machine guns was kind of a military art, so the fact that they put a non-gunner to task speaks to the low success they had. Anyways back to birds.

Captain Log posted:Chuck (who just passed) would say her name and warble pretty bird up until my old room mate taught her a super loud, distinct whistle. It's funny how long they remember. Loki would say an annoyed "Mo-oooom!" when my wife's mother came over, years later (guess how he learned it). The first apartment he lived in had a broken radiator, which he later decided was the language of water, and would make it at the sink whenever we gave him a bath. I'm trying to not to get my hopes up for Yoshi, actually, because Loki was a huge talker with an enormous vocabulary. If we can get this little guy to eat while we're looking at him or step up without being terrified, I'll be happy if he never learns to do anything but chirp.

Hahaha it's finally happened I got Boo doing cute stuff on video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSL8nM7uQm0 So we have finally set up the new cage for Boo and Skillet and moved Griddle into their old cage. We got a really great deal on natural wood perches at the bird fair (5 for 12) so setting up the cages was pretty cheap. They lost a little height on this but gained a whole lot of width and depth. There is a lot more room to move around, Boo can really flit around the cage. The cardboard barrier at the bottom is to create a visual barrier to the delicious full buffet on constant display to our four cats. It worked!   Griddle's cage is taped down to an end table with gorilla tape. Gorilla tape is the best tape on planet earth. Go buy a roll of Gorilla tape right now. They sell it at dollar general. Go do it. We keep all the bird's seed, treats, and finger traps in the top drawer.
