Holly is a female eclectus, eight years old as of April 25th, 2024. I got her at almost 2 years old on April 14th, 2018. We struggle with plucking, to varying degress of recovery. She's loves stealing my food, safflower seeds, and screaming.   Cusita is a rescue Congo African Grey that hatched in 2005. We got her in 2019 after an injury left her temporarily paralyzed. She came to us cage bound, and is still selective when stepping up. She enjoys scritches, pistachios, and vocalizing. Merlin is a greenwing macaw, somewhere between 35 and 40 years old. He came into my care as a (very much ill advised) surprise Christmas present in 2021. He chews on his feathers out of habit, which is why he looks a little rough for wear. He enjoys cuddles, training, and annoying the neighbors. Also featuring Gravy, found as a 5 week old kitten on 7/4/21. He lived with my dad until March 2025. And Casserole (Cassie), found as an approx 5 month kitten on 11/11/24. As for me, the curator of this blog, you can call me Squid, any pronouns are fine, and i am an adult :) (icon by @arts-i-enjoy)

Oh friend.. I’ve been off tumblr for a bit. Cassie was such a blessing I’m glad you found one another however briefly ♥️
Thank you <3
Every night, I get on discord voice chat with a few of my friends to hang out, and at least once a week since I found Casserole, they would request a live Cassie Cam. I didn't have the heart to get on the night before her surgery, but I did take a video to be one last Cassie Cam for them.
I'll be shipping her body in a couple of weeks to be cleaned by OddArticulations, and her pelt tanned.

The kittens are reunited now that they are both done with their respective meds and they immediately began battling (playful)

the worst part about grief is that it feels like the world should be horrendously earth shatteringly changed, and to an extent it IS but its also the same. to everyone else it's just another tuesday. the world moves on. you have to go grocery shopping.

Pin feather sheaths, the dried flaky remnants of the outer coating of a developing feather once its ready to be preened. I intended to take a picture for you but alas. Oh wait I have a video.
