Oh god, separate those birds ffs, preferably to different owners. I want to see the part in harry potter where Hedwig repeatedly tries to rip scabbers head off because that's what birds of prey do no matter how magic they are.

The gif is hilarious, but yeah, never mix prey birds with birds of prey.

Took momo into the bathroom with me so he wouldn't eat my computer cords while I tidied. Had a good grip on my shirt but he jumped into the open toilet before it occurred to me what he was doing. Totally my fault for not shutting it before I brought him in and I feel terrible. There has been no running water in my apartment all day. Good grief. Any other day he would just be a little wet... I immediately grabbed him, but my poor pee bird. as there is still no running water I gave him as thorough a spray bath as I could and am trying to keep him from preening himself until our water comes back on. Is he going to be okay? Can birds die from pee water?? pls advise  He seems okay, just disgruntled. Or perhaps disgusted.e: water came back a few minutes later so he got a very thorough rinse in barely warm water and is drying out now. I think he's pouting about how thorough the bath was compared to his usual spray but I'd rather he pout than be getting pee all in his mouth preening himself. uranium grass fucked around with this message at 22:17 on Oct 4, 2016 |

The colonies really ain't that good at making up original names, freaked me out for a moment when I read that because I live quite near to the original Don Valley and I can't quite believe anyone would ever name anything after it. Yours is nicer, believe me.

subpar anachronism posted:a preening, pouting, pee-free Pyrrhura Omg that is too funny...poor thing! I sort of feel your pain. My youngest kitty (2.5 years) is an idiot. You would think that, by now, he would have learned to LOOK before he leaps. Nope...at least once a week he gets a bath from falling in the used toilet water. He is so fast, he is in midmotion as we stand up. We can't get the toilet seat down fast enough ;( It's to the point where he isn't allowed in the bathroom with us when we need to use it...but he sneaks in when my husband gets ready for work early in the morning. I'm glad you got your little pee-buddy out quickly. Little guy was probably not very happy with the whole thing but....rofl!

Ritz once flew into our salt water fish tank, we bathed him and then licked him u til he wasn't salty anymore. I'd not suggest that for you, but the moral of the story is he was fine. E: a co-worker had a bird that drowned in an open toilet, so we started closing all lids after we heard that story about 4 years ago. It only took about 3 days to get into the habit and now it's weird not doing so.

Took Taco to the vet for a check up before Goast & I go on holiday. The vet was very happy with him, Taco was mostly well behaved, and he is nice a healthy! The vet said his feathers were in very good condition and very clean, so his diet and bathing routine are good! Now Taco is just having a bit of a sook because he was downgraded from a sky snipper to a floor snipper in preparation for being boarded in a few weeks. He is pretty well behaved with Goast & I, but the last thing we want is for him to be a flappy poo poo for the place we are leaving him with, and to fly away or fly up into the rafters or whatever and cause a stress trying to get him back down.

Like subpar said, Mochi is a GCC of the yellow-sided variety, which is the same as Inko Ohtori isn't a subspecies, he's a Blue-throated conure, Pyrrhura cruentata, the biggest species in the genus Pyrrhura Juan Carlos III posted:Did we have a goon doing a series of drawings of birds being very fancy and in the style of Victorian Era portraiture?

He respects it because it is loud, but he is louder. Broom, though, is a different story. Broom's bristles are bigger than Teeka's battle banner, therefore it must always be shown MAXIMUM THREAT DISPLAY

Ohtori does not respect the vacuum cleaner (an old crappy kind with paper bag rather than the Dyson drum type ones if it matters) and will reliably attempt to fight it when outside of his cage at the same time. Strangely, Steve will also threaten it. Inko just yells back I think it was Pookie that also hated the SCARY BROOM, maybe it's a thing?

My wife is frightened by the vacuum cleaner and legitimately backs the gently caress off like a frightened animal any time I'm running it. This is someone who recently took six concurrent rabies immunoglobulin shots without flinching.

Cricket is fine with the vacuum, she will yell a little but she is sort of fascinated with it. She adores "helping" me vacuum, though, (in a supervisory position of course) and will happily sit on my shoulder and give me a running commentary about the spots I miss. She seems to take great delight in watching the cats run from the evil red thing. She doesn't mind the broom either, but she is leery about the actual handle. In the cage, she will plaster herself as close as possible to where I am sweeping so she can watch....but out of the cage she again likes to be in charge on my shoulder, and point out all the bits that still need to be swept up. She will also yell at the one or two cats who come to "help" me sweep by attacking the broom head or diving into the dust piles. Between her and the cats...sweeping and vacuuming are always a challenge

Just found this thread. Hello. I do not own a bird, nor will I any time soon. I live at home, and we have a big aggressive Labrador already. Plus, I work full time. Can't take care of a bird. So instead, I own one vicariously through the birds of others. This thread has been fun to skim through. Max the cockatoo is my favorite, mainly because videos of him go up every day like clockwork. I love this loud and messy bird so much. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrlUEoO94WM

My boyfriend says the reason our bird hates the vacuum cleaner is that all it ever does is eat things, such as her pellet-and-splinters collages she makes with such care and love. I think that's a pretty good reason.
