This is still too old for my adult budgie to have heard it on Pandora, but I am not taking it under advisement that he should listen to his roots.

I was watching simpsons at 0.75 without knowing until a scene where homer and bart were getting back massages at a hotel and the noises they were making were super drawn out like a youtube poop
Well the budgie figured out how to open hidden SD and SIM card slots on various devices and that pushing the cards with his beak removes the card and now I don't think he will ever forget how to do tnis nor will I ever leave him out, unsupervised, even if it's just to go pee.

Mine has miraculously been good about my touch screen lately. For awhile, I was narrowly avoiding sending Facebook messages to people I hadn't seen since high school.

Today I met an African Grey named Boris. He was jibbering about God knows what.

My friend told me, "He only speaks Russian."

So I relied with my only Russian to say, "Sweetheart, there is no God! Sweetheart!"

The parrot now loves me and wolf whistles. Why do I know those phrases in Russia? I used to fence with a Russian from the 1980's Olympic Team. Of course that's what he taught me to say.

The cutest little fascist

We have some family coming to visit for a week, which includes a 1.5 year old baby/toddler. They're staying with us.

Any tips on preventing a baby vs. Conure screaming match? I already intend to have no physical interaction bc I don't want my birbs to get squished. They've never encountered a child before so this will be interesting...

If it doesn't work out, you can just rehome the screaming little monster and keep the cockatiel.

Thanks for the probation! Also, would a cockatiel make for a good bird for someone who has never owned a bird before?

A COCKATIEL IS A GREAT FIRST TIME BIRD OWNER BIRD, THEY'RE SMALL AND SMOL BUT ALSO RELATIVELY INDEPENDENT SO THEY CAN GO THROUGH THE WORKING DAY MOSTLY OKAY IF YOU GIVE THEM LOTS OF ATTENTION BEFORE YOU LEAVE AND WHEN YOU RETURN. ALSO PLEASE MORE COCKATIEL PICTURES I'M HAVING A BAD DAY.

Sounds about right. Why spend all that time rotating it around every time you want a treat when you can just rotate the one thing and have ALL the treats?

He didn't prove it for every situation, and he didn't write a QED, though, so we're going to have to take points off for that.
