Serra’s favorite spot in the world is the headboard to my bed. But the second I start thumb typing, she tumbles herself down for scritches. In the time it took me to thumb type that, she waddled her way down to my chest for very important scritches.

Today Birb scared the daylights out of me by flying out of the office and landing on my shoulder from behind when I had headphones on

Today I'd like to introduce to you the California Towhee  I deliberately saved these pictures for a couple of days later since  They are a resident. Every time I check this trap this silly bird is in there.  It's gotten to the point where they will still flee from capture, but once caught they know they can just chill out.  Surprisingly sweet little bird. I've heard that there's a family that's been spotted every year at this trap, so I won't be shocked when more arrive. Apparently very little sexual dimorphism in this species, the females are slightly larger. I've only seen two, primarily this one, so I have no way of knowing what their preferred pronoun is.  Kinda want to name them, since I see them a couple times a week. Each time I'll catch them and let them out. Without fail they'll go back in for the free food, water and shelter from the raptors. I'd say they are clever, but it's pretty hard to tell. They are really bad at evading capture. Maybe a choice? They are without a doubt the one I included in the first post, but now they get a post of their own. Good job, bird. Chaosfeather fucked around with this message at 05:58 on Mar 30, 2020 |

I got an email from work: my boss had to request that all the folks working from home please refrain from bringing their pets into the room when doing video conferences. One of my coworkers has a parrot (a sun conure, specifically), and apparently the parrot was screaming loudly enough at the laptop during a conference this morning to drown out everything everyone was saying.

But was it asking if this could all be handled via email instead of a meeting? And could they add more sunflower seeds to the budget?

Speaking of dumb parrot noises, Charlemagne does a really good cough sound and spent an entire Uber ride last week coughing sporadically and getting us really anxious looks from our driver.

I'm still trying to get Ozzy's sneeze on camera. It's not the most realistic sneeze, but it's pretty cute. I had a zoom meeting this morning get interrupted by a dog who really wanted to be part of everything. Don't know who these people are who get upset about surprise pets.

The shop birds gave me several opportunities to do literal side by side comparisons. At decibels per gram, sun/jenday conures maybe win out. Absolute volume? Macaws and cockatoos will leave you deafer.

It's always at the most random times too...

LITERALLY A BIRD posted:I can't stop laughing at this mental image, thank you. I sent a private email to the coworker, who I'm friends with (she was stunned I recognized a sun conure when I saw it, which I did thanks to this thread!). According to her, it's because one of the staff was wearing a yellow shirt, and Jericho (the conure) really loving hates yellow clothing. Birds.

I had a 1:1 meeting with a co-worker and Kiwi kept squeaking the entire time and my co-worker told me it sounded like a piglet the entire time.

https://www.reddit.com/r/tifu/comments/fs93q7/tifu_by_not_muting_myself_in_an_online_class/quote:So, I have a parrot and online classes. We are not required to have video in the online class, so we just connect our microphones. Today, my bed, was extremely comfortable. As I got up at 10 am to join the online meeting in Zoom, my bed started calling me. I loving felt it. I joined, and didn't mute myself. Normally I'd mute myself because I have a parrot. My parrot is an Indian Ringneck, and those bastards are loud as gently caress. I decided to fall asleep through the whole class as my bed felt so good. Only after I woke up an hour after the class I realised I was still in the meeting with an unmuted microphone. I texted one of my classmates and they told me they couldn't have a normal class, and the teacher didn't know how to kick me out. They also said they tried talking with the parrot, they told me he said "Hello" and "What you doing" and then proceeded to repeat "ok" for the duration of the class.

Mochi's been bored so I cut him a cardboard box house with a couple windows and doors and put some treats inside. He won't go inside, but he has discovered dragging his beak along it, and nails on cardboard is my nails on a chalkboard noise. I just want to do nice things for you bird, why do you torture me? They've both been awful since I've been home self isolating. They're lucky they're cute little buggers.
