if we get a caique, possible names are: Cassidy, or Jack (after Spring Heeled Jack).

Beryl was named Beryl because I like gems and her colorrs made me think of emeralds and their relatives. Jasper because I needed another gem name and Turquoise for a Turquoise was a bit tacky imo~

Ritz came with his name, but we've been calling him Honker for the last 7.5 years so that's what he answers to / says repeatedly. Ritz is only his full name for when he's being scolded, he does not like it one bit.

Just had a big scare. My mom drove by the sweet, friendly, independent mom n pop bird store and called me to say they closed. I was bummed beyond belief for like a good half hour before Ms Cookies clarified "closed for renovations!" After the fire last year that took the pet store I'd been going to since I was 6, I didn't need a scare like that. I still get pretty upset thinking about the animals that went in that fire. RIP Cheerio the grumpy african grey and Barbara Walters the super friendly cockatoo.

Oh. My. God. I need that. Also, Serra recently got her calcium chew replaced with a yellow one, and has permanent yellow cheeto dust face. If I can get a picture that shows it, you folk will be the first to know.

Got to pet two greys while visiting Scout today. One of them, Lenny, is a semi-regular in the bird hospital lobby and has been more and more approachable every time we visit. Last visit he started letting me give him scritches, and tonight he barked like a dog and oinked like a pig to get our attention. I haven't seen Scout since last weekend. I started a 4 on / 3 off out of town work schedule which will last into the fall. It's actually good to see her with a bit of a break, for me anyways, as I can see more improvement rather than when we go every other day and her observed improvement is incremental. My wife is still going to visit while I am away so she is still getting her allotted doses of love! Last visit my wife reported that Scout was getting a bit cranky when touched, and from this visit I understand why. She is standing on her good leg a lot more, and using her bad leg as sort of a kickstand. This seems to be allowing a lot of the areas on her body where she's lost feathers through her surgeries or the attack to actually be able to produce pinfeathers that aren't destroyed by her crawling around on her belly. It looks like she's just sensitive to her new pins coming in. There's a bunch of what look to be solid tail feathers coming in, as well as bunch on her stomach. Dr. MacDonald has started prepping her leg for the removal of the bandages, but we don't know how long that will take. The light at the end of the tunnel is getting closer.

I'm so thrilled, Mikerock. I know this whole process has been emotionally and financially stressful, but your bird is pulling through like a champ. He deserved a tiny "Bird Medal of Bravery."

"The Official Avian Medal of Bravery Gifted to Scout June 2019 Awarded by the Bird Crazies of SomethingAwful For Enduring Scary Times while Being a Good Bird" And tied to the front is just the biggest spray of millet, because birbs don't care about state or military decorations, much less goon decorations. I'm so glad Scout is doing better, and although it's difficult, I'm glad you have a stable job.

I'm sure some of you have heard of this hysterical twitter account that's all from the perspective of a bird. I'd bet money it's a goon, but who knows. https://twitter.com/probirdrights I saw they had bumperstickers, and decided to order one for six bucks. I got a personalised postcard with a cartoon on the back (hidden for private information), a funny letter, and the best bumper sticker ever -  That, is how you make money with a twitter account, my friends.

Great to hear about Scout's continued healing! The grouchy stage is good I think - she has to be feeling pretty normal to notice little irritations like itchy prickly quills, it's the times when they stay all quiet and unbothered by anything that are more worrying. And wow to the probirbrights stuff - that's brilliant

My dad drank gin and tonics. Of course, birds always thinking that whatever humans are drinking is way better than what they are drinking, our grey demanded a sip. He only let it have one sip and Thunder just was nuts over it. Sneaking around shoulders to the other hand when he switched. Mission: Impossible'ing down the drapes (really badly) to try to get it from above. It was like ambrosia to this drat bird. What happened to stop it is he went over to Thunder's cage, poured a dollop into the crystal clear water and hid the cup it came from. For all Thunder knew, the water dish was now full of magic go juice. EVIL Gibson fucked around with this message at 01:21 on Jun 3, 2019 |

Serra the Cockatiel had her big cage deep cleaned today, and nearly gave me a heart attack when I emptied it out. She ripped off her vitamin block and shaped it like an egg, storing it next to the real, infertile eggs under her food dish. BIRD!

My poor budgie just passed away in my hands. He hit his head while flying. I'm an idiot. I let him fly around loose. He was thrashing about on his back during his last throes, I tried to help him... To steady him... He suffered during his last moments... I brought him his bell and he sang faintly and then his body went stiff and his neck went limp. I'm really shocked right now.
