I met a cute baby African Grey at a pet store today. He is about 10 months old and already clever. He was chilling in his cage (it was properly sized and plenty of toys in case you were wondering). I walked over to talk to him and he ran over to the cage door and started picking at the latch as if to tell me to let him out. He stuck his beak in between the bars so I could rub it. I scritched him the best I could. He played with my finger a little bit, not biting hard at all. He likes people so I assume he does get time out of his cage. I talked to him for a while but I had to go. As I walked away, he yelled 'heyyyy' at me so I'd come back. It worked and I was there for a few more minutes. If they weren't asking $4K and I weren't in my late 30's, I'd have been awfully tempted to go home with him today.

Cythereal posted:From PYF, another reason I will not have a bird. I was in hospital for a few weeks, and when I got home there was a brand new mouse still in its packaging sitting on my desk. Everyday Goast explained that when she turned around for a second, Taco wrecked her mouse, so she stole mine and bought me a replacement. This has happened at least 3 times I think.

I think it's a lovebird thing. It's how they carry back material foraged for nesting material, I believe. I'm just mostly fascinated by the Zellers flyer. There haven't been Zellers in, what, five years now?

Yeah, it's a nest building behaviour. Put bits of leaves/grass/bark in your butt, take it back to nest, unload to make lovely place to lay an egge. Very common in lovebirds, especially girls of breeding age, but boys will do it too. They're not as uniform and quick as the girls though. I want to teach Crouton how to do a little typewriter DING! when she gets to the end of a strip.

I always thought it had to do with makin' yourself pretty to get some gently caress, but it's cool to learn it's how they get stuff back to make a nest. https://twitter.com/Nuts0634/status/989860068018417664 cute birb

'Tiel talk Tito doesn't like toys or anything like that. He has this little ball thing, which he absolutely hates. When i put the ball next to him he hisses at throws it the hell away. He does like hiding in things. (crappy pic alert)    Also, he smells like watermelon.

artichoke posted:whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat Have you ever seen the movie Stepbrothers? That's these two. There was a lot of wary animosity (from Charlie) and overeager curiosity (from Ama) at first but now they're besties. They spend all day talking to each other in a crazy blend of conure and Senegal and bad English, and sitting on me or on top of their respective cages enjoying the company and whatever music I'm playing (their current fixation is trying to sit actually right next to each other but I don't quite trust that idea yet). When they're both caged they just sit in the closest corners to each other and blow kisses or talk or preen or just watch what the other guy's up to. Whenever Ama gets alarmed by something Charlie starts telling him "it's okay. S'okay." An alarmed or worried conure sound immediately makes the Sennie stop what he's doing to look over and make sure he's okay. Their relationship is super adorable and totally unexpected. Of course now I have two birds launching themselves after me if I take five steps away from the cages. They're lucky they're so drat cute.

I'm still wanting to get another conure....hopefully this year but definitely (probably) next year. How were the introductions and how did you do it? I'm going to go thru the same lady who raised Cricket so she can come with and see the baby, (if its allowed), but I'm just concerned about once we are home.

I'm going to go thru the same lady who raised Cricket so she can come with and see the baby, (if its allowed), but I'm just concerned about once we are home. LAB and I were roommates for a few months so Ama and Charlie shared a room and it just sort of naturally happened. I think a few things helped. One is that both of them are 7-8 years old or so and Charlie has especially mellowed out over the years. The other is LAB did things like giving Charlie a treat whenever Ama got one in addition to socializing a lot with him while making it clear she wasn't gonna let him bully her. This is in contrast to my friends who got bit a ton when Charlie went through puberty so obviously show fear whenever they're around him. So I think the combination of associating Ama getting treats with him getting treats and LAB befriending him helped a lot. Of course what happened is that Charlie fell in love with both of them and while my relationship with him was fine I didn't really want to separate them when they moved and here we are. LAB can probably speak more to what she did but that's my general impression.

Crouton's internal egg making apparati are apparently abnormal, so she's on a short term hormone injection while tests get done and then probably the implant. Eggs!

Crouton is hopped up on bird drugs and chillis. Aside from her hosed up internal reproductive system, Crouton is apparently happy and healthy and A Goode Birbe. She was well behaved at the vet despite being poked and prodded and manhandled and getting two injections. The vet likes her but she is suspicious of the vet (because of all the poking and prodding). Neither of them need sunny seeds to be held in view to do "Come Here", hooray.

Taco the Wonderbird died last night. She was acting fine when I got home from work, and when Everyday Goast got home too. When we were doing the dishes later on that evening we noticed she was acting a bit lethargic and not looking good so we packed her in her cage and took her to the 24 hour emergency vet near our house. She got much worse really quickly (its about a 15 minute drive at most), and when we were waiting for the vet she had a seizure in my hands while I was holding her and died.
