Usually mirror birb is the most handsomest birb in the world. Teddy sounds feisty, which seems accurate for a parrotlet

Amadeus is a strange, strange tiny creature who seems to only like two flavors: plain, and salty.

If it had had ketchup I suspect he would have grabbed it, bitten into it, and then furiously bitten ME.

He's so pure. He's decided that he loves the hell out of my boyfriend and so now things like this happen for them all the time (e: note: of the many many things Ama will do for me he really dislikes being on his back in my hand for some reason. this is a privilege he's assigned solely to my bf.)



Bf pretends to be all gruff and not into Ama's adoration but then I catch moments like this where bf is just glowing with pride, or I wake up after he's left for work and I see an entire pizza crust wedged into the bars above Ama's food dish. :3:

Crouton stopped being cuddly and relaxed so she could figure out what was making phone noises and glare at it. Galbedir was too busy being besotted with Crouton to notice the strange sounds.

They like helping me play anime games. When the animes start speaking, the birds start yelling and hunting for their squeaky-voiced friends trapped in the Switch.

She and Beryl are currently yelling at each other from their cages! She's already rather chill with me and likes the cuddles and scritchies, but this seems to make Beryl a bit jealous !

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
My bird wrote a song

Out of Millet (and it's Your Fault)

Chorus:
ACK! ACK! ACK!
ACK! ACK! ACK!
ACK! ACK! ACK!

*indecipherable chatter*

(chorus)

*head bobbing solo*

(chorus x3, fades out via blanket being put on the cage)

I met a very lovely and polite cinnamon conure at my pet store. She stepped up on my hand and then gently nibbled my fingers while giving me a cautious look.

Their cockatiels right now are the most obvious married couple, and the missus was running around with a stick she found, while the mister wanted nothing to do with it when she presented it to him and then took it away again because it's hers.

(pretend I emptyquoted him to oblivion)


Also I swear pet store conures just tend to be so much more polite than is even probable. Any time I meet a pet store conure I forget he or she is not Ama and I'm all HIII YOU PRECIOUS BABYYYY and start shoving my fingers in their cage and they're all oh yes hello you lovely human how are you, I will lick and nibble thank u for your flesh offering I graciously choose not to take your blood and instead just here is my tongue and beak-tip, forever

then I remember I'm shoving my fingers into a random parrot's cage and if I lose chunks of me, it's ON me, and I pull away, and they look so disappointed that the cycle repeats.

If I'm picking up a harness from MSBS, I have a question. The Mini doesn't list conures, but it does say birds up to 75g; Mochi hovers between 65-70 depending on how many treats he's been scarfing down. Is this the one I should get?

I remember reading in a book about cockatiel behaviour that a standard cunning cockatiel trick is to sidle up beside someone who is already preening, poke them in a vulnerable spot, then immediately put put your own head down for cuddles.

Apparently the interrupted preener will spin around, all annoyed, to nip the interrupter but will just not be able to resist the urge to preen a big old fluffy neck.

So Machiavellian :3:
