#white cap pionus

[an-sceal]

I was trying to remove a bell from the bottom of a rope toy, because Keeley hates bells. I managed to get the clapper and the actual bell off, but couldn't twist the metal attachment piece hard enough to break it away from the toy. I tried for several minutes, during which Keeley sat on the corner of her cage watching me. When I failed, I said, "Well, I fucked up."

She looked at me and said, in a very concerned tone, "Oh no!"

She's never said that before. I don't say it to her, though I'm sure I've said it around her before. Totally cracked me up.

New Chubby Bird Species: White-capped Pionus aka White-crowned Pionus

The few Pionus Parrots I've interacted with came across as mellow versions of conures. They're still high maintenance as parrots typically are and still give SCREMS, but these two were overall more chill.

(The few I met does not represent all Pionus, so don't get a one thinking they're not going to be anything but a parrot which often results in SASS - Yes, even if you get them as a baby).

I did a drawing of quaffle demanding food. I loved it so much, I made one in every Pionus.

I even added them to my redbubble store.

It’s been a while.  So now I will spam you all with photos of my new baby Odahviing.  She is a White Capped Pionus and is the bestest baby. (Don’t tell Pippin I said that.)

Today's bird is Gus the White Capped Pionus!

[an-sceal]

Keeley's first Gotcha Day was Tuesday. It's been such a joy to watch her grow into a weird, affectionate, stubborn little thing. She has no sense of her own mortality, thinks all paper should be reduced to confetti, and has mastered the first part of the Addams Family theme. Her favourite game is peek-a-boo, which she actually seems to understand how to play. It's scary how smart she is, and simultaneously scary how dumb she can be when she decides to do things like protect me from the predator (the orange cat), or suddenly realize "I DON'T KNOW THAT PERSON!!!!" and launch herself into potato flight.

I adore her.

This past weekend I went to the STEP UP program with Phoenix Landing in Asheville! It was very fun and informative and I’m excited to try things with my own birds. It also motivated me to finally work on my birds’ cage/area set up, because I saw all the awesome set ups they had there. Anyway here are some of the great birds I met (most of whom are adoptable birds who were given up).

This is Apollo, who is perfect and beautiful (you know I’m a sucker for white-face pieds) even though his cage-mate picked some of his head-feathers out (you can see his cagemate, Marshall, further down). Both were apparently very scared and flighty when they came in, and they were still working on not being afraid, but I love them anyway.

This is Argo, who I think is a permanent resident and not really up for adoption? I never actually asked, but that was the vibe I got. She was very smart (obviously) and I’m pretty sure was laughing at our attempts to train her.

The quakers have their own outdoor aviary with their own apartments!! They live out there all year long. It was pretty cool while I was there, despite it being August, the they were busily starting to collect sticks to build up their winter homes, which I found irrantionally hilarious. I knew they did this, but for some reason it’s still ridiculous to watch a tiny bird carry a big-ass stuck around and cram it into various crates trying to find the right fit.

This is baby bird, my favorite, a very very shy little white cap pionus, who reminded me so much of Gwen when I first got her. I spent most of the weekend just getting her comfortable enough to take a treat from my hand. If I physically had space for another bird right now, I would’ve been so tempted to take her home 😭

This is Paulie (how many blue crowns do we think there are in the world named Paulie? Too many). He reminded me of Moogan, but he was a much better flyer. (You can see Apollo and Marshall here, too.) The little green cheek is named Archie, and apparently I didn’t get any good photos of him outside his cage. He was very sweet and smart though.

This is Pippin, a little bare-eyed ‘too who Jen from My Reading Pets (who was also in the class!) was teaching to read! It was really cool and he was very smart and enthusiastic, though spending time in the cockatoo room made t abundantly clear why I should never own a cockatoo.

And these are Pargo (cape parrot/apparently technically not a cape parrot because apparently there are three species we were calling capes but they’re all different and we don’t actually have any capes in captivity?? I haven’t done the research yet but that’s what I was told. Apparently he’s technically a brown-necked parrot) and Virgil (Meyer’s), who are NOT up for adoption, they belong to one of the trainers who lives in one of the houses on-site. She also has a Senegal and two pionuses! (A blue head and a maximillian.) My kind of flock 😍

Created this in the early hours of the morning while partner was in A&E. Drawing is becoming a great stress relief.

Hi Echo!

Apparently she was waiting for a high five :p

Yesterday was Pi day, but I didn’t get a chance to see my little girl. So today we’re celebrating Pi day <3 Pionus parrots are the cutest.
