Poor bird. Does he just have medication to deal with it, or any other treatments? Like the equivalent of breathing in above a steamy bowl of water for humans, etc? greypearl posted:I did not check the Bird Thread for one whole week! So you can imagine I nearly had an aneurysm after coming across cocka-Tori near the end of all the birb pictures and news. That's awesome, it must have been an incredible trip, especially seeing your bird species in it's native habitat. What other cool birds did you get to see?

It's a minor respiratory infection, they think, so all he has are antibiotics in a droplet form. He hasn't been doing it for two days or so now (and he's been extremely active), so we're hopeful that he's on the mend.

It's still Tuesday somewhere in the world, right? Taco has become expert at doing the one legged comfort puff recently, all she wants to do is puff up and perch on my hand or in my lap.

Oh hey, remember when I said I was gonna get a pigeon from a breeder and that was it? Look at this pretty boy in his temporary setup! I don't have a name for him yet, but his band number is 1080 so it'll be something sufficiently nerdy.

Yeah, with a band number like 1080, Pea is an amazing pun name. And thanks to everyone for posting birds! It did me a lot of good to see all the happy (or moderately disgruntled at being awakened) birds!

Fun fact from the breeder (Ramsey Ringnecks, if anybody's interested): He's actually a blue lace satinette Classic Old Frill, and his feathers are brown-ish due to some 'root beer and rust staining' I briefly referred to him as High-Def Root Beer Float (HDRBF) before he arrived.

But I hope you all enjoy them anyway RIP your keyboard little_firebird posted:Oh hey, remember when I said I was gonna get a pigeon from a breeder and that was it? Here are some delightful pidges I have saved to my imgur that appeared in On The Origin of Species.  "The pouter has a much elongated body, wings, and legs; and its enormously developed crop, which it glories in inflating, may well excite astonishment and even laughter."  "The turbit has a very short and conical beak, with a line of reversed feathers down the breast; and it has the habit of continually expanding slightly the upper part of the oesophagus."  "The barb is allied to the carrier, but, instead of a very long beak, has a very short and very broad one. wonderful development of the carunculated skin about the head ... accompanied by greatly elongated eyelids, very large external orifices to the nostrils, and a wide gape of the mouth"  "just a regular fantail pigeon" (I don't think this is a quote from the book) e: please watch this educational video of pouter pigeons hanging out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Op9qGrCx9pI CROWS EVERYWHERE fucked around with this message at 09:17 on Sep 22, 2017 |

Please don't die before Steve  I took a bit of video of them playing around on me earlier today.

Sorry for not answering right away, I've been making up for lost time at work. Besides the aforementioned storks, the ibises were really cool and sounded like a human laughing, so I kept thinking conures were around me. Their crows are called pied crows and look like they are all wearing tuxedos. The birds of prey (kestrels and the long-crested eagle) are huge and everywhere. My husband and I have a contest regarding who can see a hawk first every day, and I asked early on if Ugandan hawks counted, so I pretty much won every day after he agreed. Weirdest thing wasn't the sight of the birds, though, it was hearing all the unusual sounds going to bed at night. Also I should probably post this here because I am lovely at uploading photos of Pearl here but marginally better at putting them from my crappy phone onto Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/a_bird_named_pearl/ greypearl fucked around with this message at 04:26 on Sep 23, 2017 |

I think i scritched Pig wrong tonight he was having a lovely little pat and then he just flew into his cage and insisted on sleep immediately, mid-scritch. Poor bugger has had about 30 pins come through this week so he's been a bit touchy generally but this was a new thing. Especially going in his cage voluntarily.

Putni will step up on my hand in very specific circumstances. He must be sitting on my head, and I must be either sitting at the computer, or standing by the kitchen window. Pion still loves scritches and generally enjoys me helping with pin feathers on the head and neck.
