Agreed. Have some Lahores as a palate cleanser.




Hyde's breeder just picked a pair of Lahores up at a recent bird show you have no idea how excited I am.

They look like someone's cartoony pigeon drawing come to life.

My partner watched this video over my shoulder and just said "no... no no no, i hate this," so i think they weirded her out too.

Edit: i think i made these in Spore. Neck that curves back in on itself, goofy procedurally-generated walk... it's all there

I got to meet with the baby cockatiel that will more than likely come live with me in about a month. It had literally just eaten. His little friend in the background dove headfirst into the feeding solution. Extremely cockatiel. :3:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-ZeNFHXbME

I think it might be related to that new Star Wars character...

Also, this Rosy with an underbite is going to a home soon! Very happy for this insanely friendly bird with a cute face.



Annie, the convalescing cockatoo also has a home she will be going to once she has healed. Here she is, in her fluffy cone of shame begging for pets by calling me a pretty bird.

Hard to believe that these guys are the same species. That coloration makes them so low-key adorable.

Fun fact: Galahs (along with Major Mitchell's and gang-gangs) are the cockatoo species most closely related to :derptiel:s. Can you tell?

Holy crap that doesn't surprise me one bit. They remind me of big versions of Wandy the Cockatiel.

Yeah, I can. My only experience with them is through videos, but galahs and Major Mitchells' don't seem to have that cunning and analyzing stare that seems to be always on the face of umbrellas, goffins or sulfur-crested cockatoos. This one:

The most recent videos from roku's youtube has a Major Mitchells and a Galah getting to know each other and they really ARE reminiscent of cockatiels with how optimistically idiotic they are :3:

The endangered Gang-gang cockatoo in particular has a very cockatiel-looking face. Males have completely red heads while females are gray with pink highlights.
