Such a grumpy old gal  I think it might be less :potato: and more that she likes the thickness under her feet as it will be easy for old 'tiels to grab hold of.

Not sure if I mentioned this but Toast is very, very, very slowly learning to grasp stuff with his tiny grabby feet  He has started trying to grab cotton bud sticks, chewy bits of paper/cardboard, and his toys. He has also accepted jangly ball #3 into his Accepted Toys List, after realising it is much the same as his other jangly balls, only a different colour. (Jangly ball #1 is pink, jangly ball #2 is orange and blue, and jangly ball #3 is white.)He's also figured out how to get from my bed/desk through the door to his cage and back. The other week it was very stormy (a fig tree at the nearby pub got knocked over and hosed up traffic for a while, while a number of others dropped branches onto roofs, roads, and back yards) and he decided that meant it was time to BATHE IN ALL THE THINGS, so he got to test out the new bathroom sink and splashed water all over the mirror.

It's really fun watching pets grow up and learn things. I lost my cat a few years back and she was like 17-18 and had figured out a ton of stuff, how to open doors, when its allowed to wake me up, that sorta stuff. And now I have this rear end in a top hat punk 2 year old calico who im slowly trying to teach some manners to. Pets are fun like that.

Look at that grammatiel  Judah and the cat are in some sort of idiot feedback loop this morning where he yells and the cat bolts around the living room which makes him yell more which seems to make her run more. I'm contemplating just going back to bed.

Maestro keeps cuddling up to my hand so I can pick the casings off his dried pin feathers, and there's one that he's very insistent that I get, but as soon as I touch it he screams and bites me...and then shoves his head into my hand again.  I will help you, bird, but you have to work with me.  Anyway, here's the spoiled poo poo monster in question:

Pip pip pip posted:Earlier this week I bought some sheets of 1/8" acrylic to make seed guards for the bird cage that don't look like crap. Three days without vacuuming around the bird cage and there are a minimal amount of pellets on the floor. Success! The clear acrylic sheets are barely noticeable too. The food guards I made couple weeks go are working even better than I had hoped. Unfortunately, Nugget started molting, then 4 days later Ozzy decided that sounded fun and started molting too. There are lots of feathers everywhere but basically no pellets on the floor so I call it a win  I have yet to get conclusive photographic evidence that Nugget and Ozzy are in fact BFFs. We keep catching them out of the corner of an eye sitting right next to eachother all puffed up and cute, but upon being seen they split up immediately. Birds are weird.

Do you ever, while cooking, make a bunch of weird, "Ooooh bibbidy boop BOP HEYO!" noises over and over again like you're doing vocal fills for a song that you would find in the "WORLD" section of the used bookstore and then look behind you and from across the apartment your old GrandmaTiel is just sitting there, floofed up, silently judging you? Because that might have just happened to me.

That's just silly - you all own actual birds. Clearly what you need is a headband with a little perch on the side  .

I'll be damned - Pion really doesn't look derpy from head on. I was wondering if it was just the framing of a picture from a while ago that was conveniently flattering to his head, but he really doesn't look bug-eyed like potatoes tend to from a directly head-on perspective.

That one a little while ago was Putni, actually. I think it has to do with exact angle up/down, perhaps angle of head to body, and whether the eyebrows are angry.

It's getting cold enough that a couple of times when I've come home from work, Toast is snuggled up in his cozy fuzzy tent, rather than singing to the mysterious and handsome (and mysteriously handsome and handsomely mysterious) bird in his favourite mirror... And isn't trying to escape when I put him in my dressing gown sleeves.

Lately Inko has been getting it on with a toy most mornings around 6:30am and for those of you who haven't heard a GCC getting off it's even more disturbing than it sounds...  nielsm posted:Finally caught Pion throwing jingle-balls on video. I like the angry squeals they make when they do this

So my niece, who is two in August, is turning into one of us Whenever we facetime with her, she eventually starts going "twee-twee?" "birrrr!" until we show her Judah and then they sort of babble at each other for a minute or so and it's so cute I want to die

Yeah I figure they're about the same level of intelligence right now It's super cute. I'm moving up nearer to the family next month so I'm excited to actually introduce them. They can babble incoherently at each other!
