Important landmark: I can now pick Ozzy up out of the cage without waiting for him to come out on his own. He makes a fuss about it, and beaks my fingers a bit, but I can reach into the cage and ask him to step up, and he will (eventually) oblige. Hands are still scary. Fortunately, he's usually willing to cooperate with what I want without being picked up, though this morning was a bit of drama because I wanted to have a shower, and Sera wanted to have a shower, and Ozzy did not. And fine, you don't want to have a shower, I won't make you have a shower, but if I go into the bathroom with Sera and you're alone you'll scream the place down, just come into the bathroom and sit on the perch and wait for us to get clean. This bird, I tell you. I can ask him to go into the cage and he'll go into the cage, but god forbid I try to touch him. Some day he'll be hand-tame. Someday. Also important: he has figured out how to fly down. He hasn't been good at that since his feathers grew in.

The best way to put it is the amount of time and energy birds take based off size is not linear but exponential.

Tito (tiel) looks at me the same way when i sneak up on him while he's 'hiding'. There's a lot more hissing and flapping, but the look is still there.

My tiel finally learned how to land, so now he zooms around the living room without crashing and panicking whenever he flies. Very cool! However, the same day he also discovered jerking off by rubbing his butt on a hinge on top of his cage... I'm unsure if this is related or if I like the development

just spray him with a bottle, that way he'll associate jerkin it with bathtime and you'll be able to give him baths easier

When you slow down bird calls you can definitely hear they're dinosaurs, just smaller and faster.

Switch the eggs with fakes, then make tiny scrambled eggs with her real ones and serve it to her.

nielsm posted:Switch the eggs with fakes, then make tiny scrambled eggs with her real ones and serve it to her. Seconded. Buy a clutch of fake eggs off the internet, swap them from her nest when she's asleep. If her eggs are fertilised, sterilise them by cooking (and serving them to her as a nutritious breakfast) or shaking. They can be given back to her at this point if you wish. DO NOT take away all her eggs without giving replacements or she will keep laying until she has a full clutch and exhaust herself and her body's supply of nutrients, especially calcium. Eventually she will get bored and ignore them in her own time. If she keeps going broody regularly and it becomes a health problem or you think it might become a health problem (especially if she's very old, young, or has other health conditions) a suprelorin implant or other form of birth control can be effective. Crouton is an enthusiastic layer and has a few reproductive system abnormalities that mean producing and laying eggs is hard for her so she got the implant to keep her happy and healthy. You can get it in six-month or twelve-month versions and it's implanted beneath the skin, kind of like a big microchip. Suprelorin implants are commonly used in hens, especially those who come from egg farms, to both improve their quality of life and extend their lifespan. In uncommon-but-not-unheard-of cases it can take a laying hen's lifespan from ~2 years to 10 or more.

Thanks for the advice, but I'm just making light of her being a pissy hate floof. I've had cockatiels laying eggs in my care for over 25 years. However, Serra is the first one to lay an egg ON me.

Pinto wouldn't stop making kissy noises as I was getting ready to leave for work this morning and it took a lot for me to actually get out the door. I don't want to leave my tiny green affectionate bird.
