It's weird to me that everyone says lovebirds are assholes. Mine was an rear end in a top hat when we got him because he'd been pretty badly raised as a pet for little kids, which is not a good role for a lovebird. Chirpy is easily the nicest bird I own and wants to socialize with every guest I have. The worst he'll do is sit on your shoulder and yell in your ear to get your attention.

Every lovebird I’ve ever met deserved my nickname of, “A can opener with feathers.”

I'm settled in at my sister's, and I gotta say, I think Ozzy had some sort of crisis of trauma about the experience of being in the small cage, and then driving in a car, and then being in a small baby-poop-brown room with Harry Potter quotes on the wall (thanks, previous owners) with strange voices of strange people. Ozzy was weirdly calm for a bit, then decided to sit on my shoulder. He never does this. But today, he was a shoulder bird. He raged at me a little when my face was too close, but he was a shoulder bird. Then he flew to the top of my head and pulled out some of my hair while preening me aggressively. When I put him to bed, he stepped immediately onto my hand without shying away in fright, even though he thinks hands are terrifying and he'll only step up if he absolutely has to. He's having a lot of emotions right now, I think. I was worried that this experience was going to undo a lot of the progress we've made, but it's having an opposite effect. Sera just turned into velcro and made baby tiel noises when I rubbed his head. And then staged a protest about being put to bed. The fish is temporarily living in a vase. This part is going better than I expected.

Glad to hear it! It will be over soon enough and you'll be back home with your critters and things will calm down. I hope the fish likes their vase - I used to keep beta fish in huge clear vases and would put floating plants in so they could hide amongst their roots. Had to change the water often since they didn't have filters but the fish seemed to like being in the root systems and nibble away at them.

The girls tend to be the real assholes, while the boys are cheeky at worst. Galbedir is a pure and innocent soul whose biggest naughtiness is trying to bite toes when you're not looking. Crouton is very cuddly and will spend all day sitting on your shoulder but is VERY territorial over her cage, especially her food and water dishes and whichever box she has decided is her nest. Having gone through birdy puberty she's a lot more chill but will still draw blood if you try to steal her pellets. (Trying to refill pellets can be mistaken for stealing.)

I'm hoping to put it to good use replacing Skelly Spider as guardian of the lightbulb. You can see her unfocused hovering over Crouton and Galbedir in that picture. The idea was that I would attach her to the lattice-y geometric frame of the lightbulb not-a-shade and it would stop them climbing on it and possibly burning or electrocuting themselves. I have scary critters guarding my computer and on top of cupboards, doors, etc where they are not allowed to chew. Unfortunately, she doesn't have a very well-defined face of the type that would scare a bird, so they just ignore her and I have to bat them away from the lightbulb manually. At least they like climbing on her and nibbling the shoelaces holding her in place and usually keep away from the lightbulb itself and the cord it's attached to. Skelly Bird is VERY scary especially as it has multiple moving parts. G3 Toola Roola who guards the computer buttons is pretty scary but I have to keep changing her position or they get used to her.

We clip them to keep them away from the exposed ceiling fan that's just out of frame. And, literally, out of the frying pan.

The punchline that they have a second bottle cap but it's GREEN so it's undesirable is the best. I love birds

I’ve often felt that parrots suffer from OCD. Why? Hold up a feather and they absolutely must touch it! No matter what!

We're very glad to be back home. Now, to try and clean up after emptying all the closets and dressers into plastic bags that are still scattered around the apartment aaaah. It's fine. Bird cage, fish tank, my bed are all cleaned and ready and that's the essential bit done. I am not allowed to wash the floors or the bed frame.

Crouton and Galbedir have JUST figured out that the red parts and seedy bits of strawberries are delicious, having previously only been interested in the leaves. They are still not smart enough to figure out blueberries are tasty, despite having both mlemed the cut half of a sliced blueberry, and are DEFINITELY not smart enough to pop the lid open on a punnet full of blubes. Galbedir has a tiny spinning foraging toy and he tries thinking real hard about it. He sees that it has sunnies inside and there is a strange transparent barrier stopping him from grabbing them. He sees that it can spin and when spun sometimes sunnies come out. He sits there staring real hard at it and you can see the gears working in his tiny brain! But he doesn't quite get there...

My mornings are a bit of an ordeal, with the first hour or two being mostly in bed waiting for medicine to make my legs not a bundle of painful nerves. I normally go get my breakfast and Serra. She sits with me in the mornings. The headboard of my bed is suede type material. Serra LOVES to jump up there, but cleaning her poops out is a bit of a pain in the rear end. If she poops, she gets to go up there for ten minutes. She often tries to "Cockatiel Run" up my chest and make a mad dash for the headboard. But, it's slanted upwards and she normally ends up flapping and tumbling back down off it. She is relatively toilet trained. If she needs to go, she normally walks over to the edge of the bed and goes on a paper towel. Even if she hits my sheets, I'm not worried. I change them frequently. Now, she has started to jump on me, poop furiously onto my shirt, then run like a maniac to the headboard. I've taught her to poop on me to get to where she wants to sit. I'm an idiot. NO TOUCH PLZ ON FAVORITE PERCH K THKS!!!
