Ornament Thief

Created: December 23, 2022

The little ornament thief is creating quite the collection but still tries to look oh so innocent when caught.

Different anon, I don't know much about parrots would you be able to expand on why breeding them is unethical?

Only if you have the time / spoons!

I'm too lazy to get really detailed right now, but I don't think we should be breeding parrots to be kept as pets. They have far too complex needs for the average person to keep happy and healthy in their home. Even the very best homes I've ever seen aren't enough, and that includes myself.

I got involved at a parrot specific rescue in 2014 and now work at a vet clinic that sees birds. It's a way bigger surprise to see a parrot that is well cared for than it is to see a parrot that is being severely neglected.

Edit to add: Since you said you don't know much about parrots! They self mutilate pretty bad when they're depressed. Anything from just pulling out feathers to ripping holes in their skin with their beak. We see this all the time at the clinic and we saw it even more often at the rescue.

Goffin’s cockatoo named third species that carries toolkits around in preparation for future tasks

[todaysbird]

Hi, I hope this is okay to send in?? This lovely lady is a 31 year old Goffin's cockatoo named Simon and she lives at Neptune's Tropical Fish in Colorado. She was bird-napped during a break in on 2/18. Neptune's is a beloved local business and Simon has been their mascot for the last 29 years (the only word she knows is HELLO!, which she yells at every person who comes in). If anyone in the Bird Loving Community happens across any information please contact the store or the Douglas County sheriff. The owners just want their bird back, no questions asked :(

This is absolutely okay to send in, I hope that this beautiful girl is returned home! I don’t live in Colorado but to anyone in this area, please keep an eye out for information.

This lovely lady is a 31 year old Goffin's cockatoo named Simon and she lives at Neptune's Tropical Fish in Colorado. She was bird-napped during a break in on 2/18. Neptune's is a beloved local business and my #1 favorite fish store, and she is my favorite part of visiting. Simon has been their mascot for the last 29 years (the only word she knows is HELLO!, which she yells at every person who comes in). Please if you happen across any information regarding her whereabouts (especially in the Denver metro area) contact the store or the Douglas County sheriff. The owners just want their bird back, no questions asked :(

Yuki likes to shred these boxes

[thecrimsonrescue]

this is like, a behind-the-scenes question- but how do you decide on ranks?? like, do you decide to make 'sets' like how you have Crow, Pidgeon, and Dove, so you keep the same number of the 3 ranks? or do you pick a bird/animal/whatever and go based on vibes?? or do you go in with a rank in mind and picks bird based on vibes??

Good question! Sometimes I make sets, and sometimes I pick the animal. See, Exotic birds are quite easy for me to decide on rank due to my experience with them, So I usually decide on the vibe, size (sometimes), usual personality traits, certain biological traits, and if they're a bird that would be considered a predatory, even sometimes media I enjoy can influence how their rank is decided (including au). Appearance plays into my decision but it's mostly the experience I've had with said birds that help me properly decide on it. for example, I own a Cockatiel and a Parrotlet, Parrotlets are smaller than Cockatiels and tend to try and show dominance despite their small size and obvious strength difference, they test even the biggest of birds and tend to be brave to a fault, Yet get scared of the silliest things, Taking in the size, personality of some of these birds and my experience I'd come to the choice of making them Omega ranked. Cockatiels tend to be excitable and playful, they're bigger than parrotlets but are much more...Silly? All birds tend to be silly but My cockatiel is an absolute enigma and makes me laugh, they are sweet but temperamental and it screamed omega to me. for the birds I have not had much experience with I do plenty of research and decide on what I have studied and seen. Swans are seen as elegant, but swans can be very assertive if need be. They're bigger birds and they're protective of their mates and eggs. I also took in the inspiration of "The Swan Lake". I wanted an Alpha designed to look dainty and sweet but have mad protectiveness engrained in them.

Pigeons have always struck me as sweet but spunky birds, they're smart but hold sass, and they're usually seen as less "delicate" than Doves and less "Pretty" (which I think is a lie but I love birds in general). They're strong birds, survive very well, and are often misjudged. they've struck me as a rank beta due to their size, role, and certain personality traits. a lot of how I decide these also comes from gut feelings and I've always been that way. sometimes, I do sets of three when I think of birds that work well and aesthetically mix, Cockatoos and Cockatiels, There will be a third to the set which will be a kind of Cockatoo, Either Galah or Goffin. This is saying, Some different types of existing birdie bitties may actually have different ranks, however, I've yet to delve into that with you folks.

As for non bird bitties? My non-birdie bitties usually are based on how i view them or my understanding of them (just like the birdies) My nectar bitties are the rank they are because of the time spent with Sugar gliders. Hades, my Grillby is actually based on the song "Hey, little Songbird" from the Hadestown musical. it's also takes into consideration the au. It's always made me think of my Au Grillby (at least when I began to remake him), shaping him to be a large figure that fully gave me the vibes of an Alpha, and due to his personality and AU role, it's been what I've chosen. I try to keep the same number of ranks but I get ideas and I have to act on them before I lose the idea. long story short, I am a being of chaos and I have a system to my madness but sometimes I stray from it with the thought of good ideas. There's a way I do things, it's just a crazy one.

I hope this was a good answer, I went on a full ramble.

What if your tumblr mutual posted a face reveal and they were an 11 year old Goffin's cockatoo

[woodsfae]

Ellie, an 11-year-old Goffin’s cockatoo, video chats with a friend.

Once the birds had learned how to initiate video interactions, the second phase of the experiment could begin. In this “open call” period, the 15 participating birds could make calls freely; they also got to choose which bird to dial up. Over the next two months, pet parrots made 147 deliberate video calls to other birds. Their owners took detailed notes about the calls and recorded more than 1,000 hours of video footage that the researchers analyzed.

For starters, they found that the parrots took advantage of the opportunity to call one another, and they typically stayed on the call for the maximum time allowed during the experiment. They also seemed to understand that another live bird was on the other side of the screen, not a recorded bird, researchers say. Some of the parrots learned new skills from their virtual companions, including flying, foraging and how to make new sounds.

i need the list of your pets and to hold them or at least pat them?????

EWHRWHRWHRWH there's a few u can't but-

Four chickens Agatha is a silkie, Henrietta idk her breed but shes grey w/ black lacing and no comb or waddle, Dolly is an orpington, and Clem is a Plymouth rock. Agatha's the only one inside right now. Dolly is fine with being touched and held, Clem and Henrietta are skittish.

Five ducks Big Peepee, Nubbins, Jeff and Booba are all cayuga ducks and Snow is a peking. They're afraid of their own shadows.

I have also have a tuxedo cat named Moxie and a pastel ball python named Noodle

Then for my siblings and my parents pets:

three conures Monty a green cheek and then Rook and Doc are Pineapple green cheeks

Twitch is a goffins cockatoo, but he's a rescue so he looks like a naked chicken, he hates hands and will pretend to want to step up just to bite you and laugh. He does it to the vet all the time.

Morgan is an illigers macaw

4 parakeets that don't have names they're all rescues (when u have birds people jus are like "hey ima let them go outside if u don't take them")

2 cockatiels Baby Girl and Alfie they're also afraid of hands

and then a grey cat named Lewie hes 12, another tuxedo name Chewy and a long haired tuxedo named Gabby

[dajo42]

i just took screenshots of my boxes of shinies in pokemon scarlet because i caught a sinistea and thus had 222 shinies and thats a fun satisfying number

but then i walked 5 feet and got another shiny flittle

so

heres a picture of a goffins cockatoo instead
