this year’s New Year’s baby is
*drumroll*
SANSA’S EGG!!!
🎉🎉🎉
she’s been nesty and making contact calls for the last two weeks, and last night she was sitting in or on her bowl all night. I was pretty sure she was going to lay today or tomorrow and it’s very hilarious that she decided to start a new project on January 1st. new year new her!
it’s infertile, she’s never had contact with a male. she’s laid blank clutches before so I know what to do to make sure she doesn’t reclutch and get a calcium deficiency over imaginary babies. I’ve dummied it and I’m going to let her lay the rest of the clutch and sit for a bit.
Little girl has a job now! very proud of her!!! 🥰💙
#shhh sharkie#bird blogging#cockatiel#Sansa tiel#she was singing almost the entire six hour car ride home from christmas#I haven’t checked her weight in a while so I wasn’t certain but the behavior pattern was lining up#this is the first one she’s laid since coming to live with me!!!#when she was still at the aquarium she laid 3 or 4 times since I started#she’s very diligent but also good about giving up#she’s on a dummy right now and I have a few extras cause she lays like 2-5 eggs usually#her egg is addled and in the fridge and I’m going to blow it out and preserve it cause how special!!!#baby’s first egg since living with me!!!#if she lays more i’ll preserve the whole clutch but that first one is gonna get a special pedestal

Sansa had a great time visiting my parents’ for Christmas, everyone loved her so much and she was so calm and content the entire time. we especially did great in the car and she was so unbothered!
totally comfy with the travel home and the dogs, and we took a nap together this morning and she cuddled right in! so happy with her this whole trip, everyone was so enchanted by her and she wasn’t stressed at all 💙
#shhh sharkie#Sansa tiel#cockatiel#bird blogging#every time i’m so worried about her but she’s proven herself to be like#the most adaptable bird ever. she gets scared by new stuff but is never overwhelmed#and is so easy to calm down. like she knows i’m safe and when she wasn’t sure about other ppl she’d just come back to me#i don’t have her on the bed at home home cause the living room is her room there#but her cage was in my bedroom when i was in CT so like. that’s where i’m hanging out.#and i had her out but then i was laying down and tired and she just. snuggled right up. so we had a light nap together. it was lovely.#anyway this whole trip has made me a lot more confident for like her entire future#whether she comes with me or stays with someone else when i travel#she’s clearly very comfortable and/or just not super bothered by the whole process#did need to go to bed like. as soon as we got home. but tbf majority of our drive ended up post-sunset#so she just needed to sleep she’d already been in the dark for a couple hours#ugh anyway tldr i have the best lil bird in the world and i love her so much

#shhh sharkie#sansa tiel#bird blogging#cockatiel#she hopped off my leg and was exploring the table#dw i kept her away from the paints both wet and dry and she didn’t injest anything at all#but she did get a lot of entertainment from chewing on the fan lol#can*

now that she’s figured out my leg is a viable place to perch it’s the only place she wants to hang out
#Sansa tiel#cockatiel#bird blogging#i’m just happy she’s comfortable in the space#i have to be careful cause she’s gotten super confident about navigating around#gotta make sure she’s not gonna eat paint or smth

will say easiest part of this is that Sansa is sitting on eggs and doesn’t give a shit about me. hisses and mock bites every time i approach her. look at the really pointy one she laid.
#shhh sharkie#sansa tiel#bird blogging#i don’t have the energy to give her attention so i’m glad she’s not asking for it#legit every time i go to try and be like ‘my babeyyyy’ she’s like ‘FUCK OFF’#okay!!!#sorry my darling i just want to give you love

the “are ya winning son?” meme but it’s me checking in on my bird sitting on eggs in her nest
#shhh sharkie#nest is a strong word for it. it’s a bare metal bowl. but she refuses any nesting material#it’s a little sad cause i’m home sick and so have all the time to hang and shes like ‘fuck off i need to take care of my imaginary babies’#she’s a very good mama! but unfortunately darling there’s no way those eggs are gonna hatch.#i’m letting her lay the whole clutch before I dummy them this time#but yeah me checking in on her every few hours: ‘how are your imaginary babies doing?’#her: *hisses and mock bites at me*#Sansa Tiel#bird blogging#i’m not in a place to raise babies but she would be a good mom if i let her. she’s so attentive and a very good nest sitter.

she doesn’t like when I go into the bathroom so I’ve been bringing her in to show her it’s not a scary place but POV this Creature just hangs out while you use the toilet
#shhh sharkie#Sansa Tiel#bird blogging#she’s more upset about it when i get home from work and she hasn’t seen me in several hours#but as long as she’s awake she yells when i go into the bathroom and im trying not to get a noise complaint#she’s happy to just hang out on the towel on top of the laundry rack and she doesn’t even need me to talk to her to be complacent#just the universal experience of your pet needing to be in the bathroom while you do your business#been there done that with both dogs and cats but the bird angle is new#right now she’s close to bedtime so she’s pretty calm but she’s definitely more vocal when I first get home

love this little lady.
I had to hold her to file/clip her nails (they were very sharp and kept getting caught in my shirts) and she protested the entire time and kept mock biting me and attacking the nail file and clippers.
and as soon as I let her go and told her she’s a good girl she crawled up and cuddled right in like
"🥺 do you know what Evil Francis did to me 🥺 please pet me i'm so sad 🥺 I need to be as close to you as possible"
#shhh sharkie#Sansa Tiel#bird blogging#idk what other tags i’ve used for her but w/e#anyway it was so sweet I put her down on my leg and she immediately crawled up to my shoulder and snuggled in to ask for scritches#obviously it was Evil Francis that had to hold her to trim her nails and not Nice Francis#my face#sorta. a slim sliver of my face. i need to trim my beard.

I have a weird bird
#shhh sharkie#bird blogging#cockatiel#sansa tiel#birb#I think it’s more that she’s just happy to be hanging out with me but like#she loves watching tv with me in general#and i’ve found that she has more panic reactions to things that aren’t scary movies/tv#omfg the doorbell in Clue scared the crap out of her#but all the violence and killing in Yellowjackets she’s like Yeah I’ll take a nap now#what even is this bird#i love her so much#also this is from texts to my partner who is very well aquainted with my bird

Sansa hid behind one of her toys and then very loudly complained that she couldn’t see me.
my girl. my love. my darling little banana. you chose this.
#shhh sharkie#sansa tiel#pet blogging#she walked behind her toy and then started yelling that she couldn’t see me#ma’am. please. you disrupted our line of sight.

fun fact: Sansa is fascinated with my earrings cause Bright and Shiny and Fun To Chew, so I have to be very studious about remembering to remove them so she doesn’t try to pry them out.
but side effect of forgetting enough times is that she will sometimes chew at my earring-less ears and be very confused that Shiny Fun Object is not there
#shhh sharkie#sansa tiel#bird blogging#she’s very interesting cause she doesn’t give two shits about any regular enrichment#boxes? paper bags? shreddy stuff? puzzle feeders? fuck off.#earrings? napkins im using? bracelets? desk im trying to build? all The Most Interesting Things Ever#girly i just want to give you things to play with while i’m at work#and instead you’re only interested in what IM doing and what’s on/around me#i should quit my job and get a work-from-home gig to be a full-time cockatiel dad apparently

like i wish i was exaggerating. boob perch.
one of Sansa’s new favorite places to perch is my chest cause apparently my boobs are big enough that she can use them as a platform
#shhh sharkie#Sansa tiel#why is this the place to perch#she likes to preen and chew on my buttons#decided to wear my work shirts when i have her out so that i have less laundry#work shirts are already dirty so it doesn’t matter if she preens and poops on them#gotta wash them anyway
