#cockatoo kin

[starscatteredsky]

Hello!! Can I have some tips for either crow or cockatoo therians? Thank you <3

tips for crows and cockatoos

pt: tips for crows and cockatoos end pt

practice vocals!

try voice acting, beatboxing, singing, or another vocal activity out! both cockatoos and crows are talented mimics, so these types of activities might be super fun for you!

dress in lots of whites, yellows, and blacks!

wear a towel or blanket around your shoulders to feel like wings!

snack on nuts seeds and fruits!

connect to nature in a forest!

decorate your livingspace with rainforest or temperate forest decor!

paint your nails black or get them done long and sharp like talons!

get lots of puzzles and riddles to challenge that corvid brain!

enjoy!

could u elaborate on "parrots make bad pets"? not disagreeing (far from it) just interested to see your take! looking to learn more about this

(i've gotten this ask before so please don't mind i'm just gonna paste a writeup i did a while ago)

There’s a blog run by an animal behaviourist who specializes in parrots that i really enjoy reading, she has a very good writeup on the state of companion parrots as an industry: The Inconvenient Truth About Cockatoos

so basically the average person usually cannot meet the needs of a parrot, especially medium and ESPECIALLY large species. they are long lived, extremely social and intelligent animals who are very demanding if you are their only companion. in my mind the most 'ethical' pet parrot setup is having some pairs of budgies in a dedicated bird room filled with foraging enrichment and doing some basic command training as a bird-human bonding activity instead of cuddles.

most pet parrots are hand reared or even hatched in incubators by breeders and are never given a chance to be raised by their parents, and virtually none stay with their parents until a natural weaning age before getting sold. which is wild considering it is fucking ILLEGAL to do that to puppies or kittens.

A parrot isn't really born wired for human companionship in the same way that a dog or cat is. they imprint on their parents which sets the blueprint of their kin, and they generally want to only form extremely close bonds with others of their kin. To get a very people-oriented parrot, it has to think it’s people.

This is different from the socializing practiced in raising cats and dogs or acclimating ferals to people. socializing means exposure to things so that the animal doesn't grow up to see the target as a threat, and ultimately that the target is something that can be very rewarding to spend time around. A dog raised with its mother and socialized to people still understands that it's a dog, it can get along with other dogs, but can also form strong bonds to people. They actually read both dog and human body language and legitimately have an awareness that we are different species.

The companion parrot is raised to think it’s people, and as a result many lose the ability to form bonds with their own kind. in fact the reason many breeders remove eggs or chicks from the nest is arguing that the parent birds don’t really know how to raise their chicks- because they themselves were hand reared and never learned how to parent from their parents! it seems that, like us, parenting isn't perfectly hardwired in parrots and they need to learn the skill from their families, oftentimes even staying to help their parents raise younger siblings!

That's why it's not at all uncommon for pair bonded breeding birds to be sold as a completely separate product from companion birds in many aviary operations. there's so many ads for people selling breeding parrots that fucking hate humans or are semi tame specifically listed for sale as breeders not as pets:

then their babies are bred for the pet market so they are taken either before or right after hatching to get hand reared and imprinted onto humans, because a parrot-bonded parrot just won't be as interested in forming those close human companionships you see in viral videos. this isn't the case for all aviaries, i want to acknowledge there are smaller scale breeders who have tamer breeding birds, but big producers can have borderline feral pairs and the point i'm trying to make is when you socialize a parrot to either the human world or parrot world, it's often at the expense of the other.

most trouble starts once the parrot begins reaching the age of sexual maturity. they stop being openly cuddly to most people, and will try to pair bond with their primary caretaker. It's not uncommon for this to lead to aggression towards other family members because parrots don't share partners, they can even do this to babies they are jealous of!

But a human can't become a suitable mate substitute for a parrot, and some of their mating behaviours such as regurgitating on you can seem straight up gross so the human then shuns the parrot and shuts down their advances. this can make your bird become very sexually frustrated that can lead to more unwanted behaviours and even health emergencies such as prolapse. we lead them on by stroking their chest and backs (only something bonded pairs do, you are essentially jerking off your parrot when you do this..) then reject them with no other outlet for their natural urges, and spaying/neutering isn't an option either! so they're stuck in a psychological purgatory of being unable to fulfill their instincts. and if they're in an understimulating environment and left alone for most of the day in addition to all that, frankly i think that's just an awful life to give to an animal we allegedly love!

we essentially alienate them, and when they don’t have people around to meet their extremely high social needs because you work a 9-5, even if there are other birds around, the lonely or frustrated human-bonded parrot can become depressed and self mutilate.

parrots that were left with their parents, are raised as parrots, and weaned at their own natural pace overwhelmingly do not exhibit these destructive behaviours.

 a productive relationship with a pet parrot is one that fosters independence, not dependence, on the human companion. the most responsible parrot owners should strive to act more as a zookeeper to their parrot instead of cuddling it and creating a ‘velcro’ bird glued to the hip, and socialize with them via training sessions instead of letting their birds indulge in pair bonding behaviours like petting and preening which leads to sexual frustration and aggression or self mutilation.

Ultimately I believe any parrot hand reared and imprinted onto humans is some degree of psychologically damaged and suffers from the parrot equivalent of a developmental trauma, they have been robbed of a normal parrot life and it cannot be undone.

SO many parrot rescues are completely flooded with unwanted pets, many with tough behavioural challenges (for example it's not uncommon for parrots to be reactive to an entire gender, so that cuts the adopter pool immediately in half). and these patterns can be difficult to break especially without the aid of a behaviourist. and the thing still has another 40 years of life left in it but nobody wants to adopt because it's another "crazy bitey bird that hates everyone", has reached sexual maturity so it's no longer as friendly, and it's much easier to start from scratch so folks choose to just buy another baby and keep the cycle going.

And none of that even touches on the rampant poaching that keeps supplying the trade in many parts of the world. and that's why everyone should have domestic chickens or pigeons.

Felt cute, might delete later /silly

I already have a nonhuman/therian/holothere/endel identity as a crow and some form of unknowable entity.... now we also have a sulphur-crested cockatoo on that list!!! That makes 3 total!! :)

I love cockatoos, especially of this coloration and have always felt connected to them!! I considered kin type, but given I keep finding myself feeling deeper in that connection with psychotic episodes... I'm thinking endel identity here.

Intro Post

Hi, I’m fat-werewolf. I am a zoanthrope of a werewolf , an orca and sulfur created cockatoo therian, and night fury-kin.

Typical DNI. I’m learning to be accepting of endo systems. I’m ok with them as long as they acknowledge that there is a form of system that results from trauma and don’t try to appropriate their experiences.

Autism level 2, bpd (duh), depression, cPTSD, fully fused former system, and BID (NOT “transabled”)

I’m 28, and I’m ok with minors following me as long as they don’t try to become my friend.

That’s all I can think of for now.

Hi! I feel kind of terrified of starting this blog, but in my experience posting on Tumblr feels like shouting into the void (/pos) so I should be fine 😅

I made this sideblog to be able to externalise my daydreams. They've been with me as far as I remember, and my first memories are from when I was around 5-6. I really want to immortalise them in some way, and have always wanted to talk about them, because they are so so so dear to me, but I've always been scared to. My daydreaming used to be maladaptive, now it's just immersive. Yet, I still feel the consequences of it having been maladaptive everyday.

A few useful information about the IRL me:

I'm currently 19

I go by Kai

I'm autistic and I have ADHD

I have dyslexia and tend to not see typos and therefore not correct them

I'm: polyamorous, demisexual, demiromantic, pansexual, panromantic, genderfaun, genderfluid, transmasc, genderqueer

I'm kin (crow, cockatoo, wolf/dog, cryptid, ferret)

I am very very punk (cringepunk, voidpunk, amatopunk, hopepunk,...)

And a few useful tags for navigating this blog:

#kai's world ➜ my paracosms, daydreams, characters, etc

#dd memes ➜ memes about daydreaming

#dd mood ➜ mood, related to daydreaming

Aussie here, why not a cockatoo? I would get that importing it to the US would be fucked, and that they're one of the loudest birds ever. What other reasons?

There’s a blog run by animal behaviourist who specializes in parrots that i really enjoy reading, she has a very good writeup on them: The Inconvenient Truth About Cockatoos

the average person cannot take proper care of a large parrot. they are extremely social and intelligent animals who are very demanding if you are their only companion.

most pet parrots are hand reared or even hatched in incubators by breeders and are never given a chance to be raised by their parents, virtually none stay with their parents until a natural weaning age before getting sold. which is wild considering it is fucking illegal to do something like that with puppies or kittens.

A parrot isn't really born wired to human companionship in the same way that a dog or cat is. they imprint on their parents which sets the blueprint of their kin, and they generally want to only form extremely close bonds with others of their kin. To get a very people-oriented parrot, it has to think it’s people.

This is different from the socializing practiced in raising cats and dogs or acclimating ferals to people. socializing means exposure to things so that the animal doesn't grow up to see the target as a threat, and ultimately that the target is something that can be very rewarding to spend time around. A dog raised with its mother and socialized to people still understands that it's a dog, it can get along with other dogs, but can also form strong bonds to people. They actually read both dog and human body language and have an awareness that we are different species.

The companion parrot is raised to think it’s people, and as a result many lose the ability to form bonds with their own kind. in fact the reason many breeders remove eggs or chicks from the nest is arguing that the parents don’t really know how to raise their chicks- because they themselves were hand reared and never learned how from their parents! we essentially alienate them, and when they don’t have people around to meet their extremely high needs even if there's other birds around, the human-bonded parrot can become depressed and even self mutilate. parrots that were left with their parents, are raised as parrots, and weaned at their own natural pace overwhelmingly do not exhibit these destructive behaviours.

I think any parrot hand reared and imprinted onto humans is deeply psychologically damaged, they have been robbed of a normal parrot life.

 a productive relationship with a pet parrot is one that fosters independence, not dependence on the human. those owners act as more as a zookeeper to their parrot instead of coddling and creating a ‘velcro’ bird glued to the hip, and socialize via training sessions instead of letting their birds indulge in pair bonding behaviours like petting and preening.

[system-of-a-feather]

Random passing fun fact about an alter. Ray in our system is** an owl - particularly either a Great Horned Owl or a Barn Owl. He specifically loves and relates to owls. He is very owl themed.

The funny thing this results in, is that in terms of pets, he is actually FAR more a cat guy than a bird guy, because cats actually behave more similarly to owls than most "pet" birds (chickens, parrots, doves / pigeons, ducks)

**different "is" than say XIV being lycanthropic or Data!original being a cockatoo; our system in general tends to have a bird selected by them that serves something between a "kin" dynamic, a sona, and a like... representative / alter crest / banner within the system; we're generally a flock so its like an adjacent labeling system to our roles
