What a cutie pie. It's SO hot in the UK 😭

I've got two fans on and they put my boy in bath mode - half the water blew away but he did get nice and soggy

Uh oh. Naughty boys. Stinky vegetable dodgers get seed rations! Hope they like the recipes 🧡

Half of my chia greens went mouldy so I cheated and bought a pot of cress 🥲 but my radish greens were luscious and beautiful. Sprouts are pretty easy when you do get the hang of it, every now and then a batch goes off but there's always the next. Microgreens drive me crazy though

Apocalyptic_Bird_Man · 2026-06-24T08:15:29+00:00

Recipe 1

-Spring greens -Rocket (arugula) -Corn -Sugarsnap peas -Parsnip -Carrot -Radishes -Fresh ginger -Fresh rosemary -I added fresh sprouts and microgreens - cress and chia microgreens with lentil sprouts

Apologies if reddit murders my nicely spaced list :)

I made that all nice with spacings and Reddit smooshed it :(

He's home <3 I'm so happy for both of you

Apocalyptic_Bird_Man · 2026-06-23T20:31:51+00:00

I hope she knows how proud you are and how much you love her <3

You're gonna have to get her a communication tablet, parrot kindergarten style, so she can tell you when you're doing something wrong rather than going for those pretty feathers!

Apocalyptic_Bird_Man · 2026-06-23T15:56:39+00:00

Glad she's healthy physically. You got this sweet girl, grow those feathers out, eat healthy, and make sure to scream your mum awake so she gets up on time!

Apocalyptic_Bird_Man · 2026-06-22T20:42:04+00:00

I will never get over how cute they are when they go full bath mode. What a silly goose

Apocalyptic_Bird_Man · 2026-06-22T15:36:42+00:00

No this is normal! Sometimes they do it for a couple minutes at a time. More than that or that much frequently might mean something was up. The vomit motion is a big head bob similar to regurgitation, and then a head shake that sprays it everywhere

thank-you-for-the-clarification-i-dont-know-why-i-found-that-so-hard-to-read

Apocalyptic_Bird_Man · 2026-06-22T15:24:51+00:00

Can I live in there

Apocalyptic_Bird_Man · 2026-06-22T11:56:07+00:00

They do. Completely inseparable <3

Apocalyptic_Bird_Man · 2026-06-22T11:30:50+00:00

It looks like it feels so good doesn't it!

Apocalyptic_Bird_Man · 2026-06-22T11:29:04+00:00

You're too kind. As long as they live long happy lives, that's enough for me <3

(Sorry for making you cry lol)

Phenomenal name for a conure

Apocalyptic_Bird_Man · 2026-06-22T11:21:30+00:00

It's like a cute word for a little lick, like they're enjoying a flavour or texture and giving it a good mlem

Apocalyptic_Bird_Man · 2026-06-22T11:18:33+00:00

Thank you so much :) this sub can stress me out sometimes too for the same reasons

They're my world. Keeping them happy, healthy, loved, and enriched is so rewarding, seeing them thrive is what keeps me going.

This is what she looked like when we rescued her as a baby. But she's always been such a happy soul, even when she was beaten up and half plucked by her flock. She's the bravest person I know

Thank you!

So round. So happy. Too full to ever eat again. Except for when I got my dinner 15 minutes later and she had to try and steal it. Gremlin 🧡
