New birb obtained?? I might have lost my mind. Why did I do this.  He still has no name. He makes weird warbling beeping noises. He sang a little, as loudly as possible. Rescue lady was like I THINK SHE MIGHT BE A GIRL but um that is definitely male plumage do you just not know tiels? My existing bird was so surprised by this new bird he fell off his perch (he's okay) and turned into velcro for the rest of the evening. They stared at each other from across the room for a while. Everyone is high strung and nervous.

Turtlicious posted:What's it like having a bird, are they super affectionate? Like said earlier, it can be totally different depending on each bird. Birds are very much like people in that they can be smart, goofy, needy, or independent, etc etc. A bird’s species can feed into it. Like we all call GCCs Velcro birds because they want to be with you all the time. Mine personally, while not wanting to snuggle constantly, always want to be with me when I’m home. Either on my lap/laptop or sitting on my chest/down my shirt. Most birds do need a lot of interaction time though, it just is what that counts as that differs for each. Some just want to chill and play with toys in their cage while you are in the room, they can see you and that’s cool. Some, like aforementioned Velcro birds, want to be up in whatever you are doing.

 Potato got his first taste of the outdoors and visited a small private park. Highlights include screaming at a grackle and screaming at a hummingbird.

Like we all call GCCs Velcro birds because they want to be with you all the time. Yeah, Cricket (orange-fronted conure) is a lovebug. She isn't snuggly like most of the velcrobirds in this thread...she doesn't snuggle up with me (or my husband) or anything like that. She does, though, spend 99% of her outside time either next to me where she can see me or on my shoulder or on my head. Cricket is a kissy bird...she will give kisses all day every day, and chatter up a storm to you. She yells "daddy's home" and "birdy-bird!!" when my husband gets home from work, and will heart wing at him and blow kisses until she can go over and give him his kisses. Same for when I am gone and come back (but I get the "hey baby" instead of daddy lol). But snuggles? Nope. Closest we get is her sitting on our shoulders and napping with a foot holding onto his shirt or my hair, or when she gets in her kissy kissy moods. Cricket is very affectionate, but in no way is she snuggly like a GCC or a cockatoo is. I wouldn't change her for the world though

Gillian is finally letting me give her scritches, just only with my nose. Which is a bit awkward and literally a pain in the neck.

Yeah exactly For a while now she's been asking for scritches, but hisses and backs away when my hand gets close. I guess I was just scritching wrong also came across this while looking for that:

I watched bird videos last night, in another room, with doors half closed. I still heard squawks from my own cage in reaction to the honking sounds from my phone.

The lady who was rehoming cockatiels from whom I got this new birb was not really a formal rescue, and while she's familiar with birds I don't think she was familiar with tiels in particular. She said to me she thought this new bird (who I have since named Mr. Oscar Beepington, Ozzy for short) was a female, because of "her" behaviour. And I wasn't really going to get into an argument with her but I was thinking, nah that is some definitely male plumage so I don't know what the hell, I know most parrots aren't sexually dimorphic but tiels sure are. But I think Ozzy is just gay as hell. At least, he is gay as hell for my other tiel, trying to serenade and flirt with him from a distance every time he sees him. Sera (Sir Serendipity Seven-Toes, if you're feeling nasty) is not in the least sure about his new admirer so it's all very one-sided right now.

I love these names and also I love the idea of cockatiels both wooing and pining for other birds, inanimate objects, various limbs, etc

Knowing a bird’s gender is really easy: if they want to eat your face it’s a girl, if they want to jump you it’s a guy. VOILÀ!

Spent an hour meeting Spencer the Goffins today and he was a chill and good bird, he is also very smart and has to be padlocked into his cage or else he breaks out. He was pretty OK with letting us handle him and going up on our shoulders. The wife and I have to figure out how we'll fit him in with our home, and we also want to meet him a few more times before we make a decision on whether to adopt him.

The other foot is hidden behind his back, holding a knife Also, the heartbreaking sound of an innocent baby bird crying from being terrorised by the dread nail clipper  This is how I die! Remember me, friends, as the hero I was! Record these my last words: eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeNow they are full of post-clipping sunnies and crunching contentedly as they go to sleep
