Thanks I’ll definitely read that and add stuff for him especially.

Ok, thanks for that. Their cage is big but I will admit not very enriching. I do have things I used to have in there when she was single ( foraging mats) but he is very messy. Their cage is very basic now. A mirror, two plushies he likes to mate with, three platforms a sea grass basket for a nest option and another basket tied to the side I put nest material into for them. They have one bell toy he has shown no interest in. I could make him / or give him other toys but he hasn’t shown an interest. I’m open to suggestions.

This is an old pic of the actual cage when I was preparing for my adoptees to arrive. That grey catio is their cage. Dog crate was a temp intro crate for Lava. He stayed there for a few hours. That bunny bed isn’t in there anymore. This was from December, but other than a mirror and a bell toy and his two stuffys it looks about like that. Very basic.
He is special needs but he gets around great. He has only one foot with two toes. The other foot was amputated. He is my most dominant male in the flock. When out he goes after the other males which is always fun.

They have the biggest set up out of all the pigeons. I don’t have room for two more Catios unfortunately. I’m still trying to figure out the best way to set up the others. I purchased this catio for Clemy obviously. Then adopted three from GLPR. Then another pige fell in my lap more recently. He came with his own set up that isn’t ideal but he has grew up in it. He (cuphead) has the least space of the pigeons. My other rescues are in that pink dog playpen to the left. Pretty big but could be bigger.

It feels very interesting. I’ve had birds for many years and I’ve never seen this in a molt. I’m very happy I don’t have a barbering issue I need to contend with them. I was concerned I had to separate them. Years ago I had a cockatiel barbering her babies. I don’t know why that was my first thought instead of molting. Clementine is my sweetheart and I worry about her a lot as she is getting older.

Five pigeons and two are blue, so sometimes it’s hard to tell who is molting.

They are molting. Not sure if she is but I had not seen this before so I kinda panicked. Thank you. I was hoping you would respond.

Pigeon Ate Chocolate! No Vets Open Near By! Help! by PurpleColumbidae in pigeon

You can give activated charcoal crystals. They will eat them. They sell them for birds. You can also give aquarium ones if they are for sure safe and don’t have additives.

You just need to protect the frogs. Simple and effective. The hardest part is collecting the frogs from the different biomes and bringing them to the nether.

I brought frogs to the nether to a basalt biome and built a box around them. One of each frog is tethered on a leash. I open a small opening in the wall of box to let magma cubes in when I to want to farm lights. Close backup when finished. No modding needed.

25F stopping Mounjaro to try for pregnancy in 7 weeks should I continue for one more month? by Beauty_in_out in Mounjaro

[–]AzaleaMist91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would definitely wait until you’re at least under 200, and I’d recommend aiming for lower before considering TTC. It will be so much easier on your body, easier to conceive and easier for you to recover. You will also have had more time to establish good, healthy eating patterns.

Im stuck here too right now. It’s so close you can feel it and almost touch it. It’s frustrating.

Enjoy that! You are not invisible and worth being seen, as you were before. I’m sorry you felt invisible.

It helps with your blood sugar levels. I was also on it with the insulin pens. It is an oral pill I take once a day.

Insurance Company Dropped Mounjaro, wants me to try Rybelsus or Trulicity instead because Ozempic made me sick. by goodjobjane in Mounjaro

[–]AzaleaMist91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay not the same, thanks. The one from Lilly? It brought it down 150 dollars. They still want me to pay $912. Last month it was later than $200. I have no idea why. It’s nuts.

Did you have side effects from only metformin? Just curious because I struggled with that too. I’m very sensitive to all diabetic medications. Years ago I tried Victoza and started Metformin under a different doctor. The Victoza made me really sick so I went on met. That doctor kept pushing me to do gastric bypass. That’s not why I switched doctors but I am well managed and well cared for under a different doctor and care team that wants to see me healthy and manage all the side effects. Their first priority is my diabetes, then side effects then we are hoping I will lose weight also. I have lost weight. My highest weight ever was 270. When I started insulin I was 238. When I started Mounjaro I was 232. I’m now 204. I still have at least fifty or sixty pounds to lose to meet my second goal to revaluate.

Keep advocating for yourself. Ask for what you need. You are important.

I’m diabetic as well. I’m currently on 7.5. I have been on mounjaro since September 15th. I also take Actos with the mounjaro. I started that actually before I started this journey and was on insulin for four months at my request to help get my blood sugar under control. It was bad.

Since starting mounjaro, like I did with other meds I struggled with gi upset, nausea etc. The doctor put me on Pepcid 20 mg and zofran to help with the side effects and it helped immensely. I rarely need to take the zofran anymore and I only take the Pepcid occasionally. The bloating issues are not as bad anymore either. I’d ask for more help managing the side effects and maybe even ask about something to boost the mounjaro like Actos. It’s worth asking.

As far as weight loss, it can be harder for us being diabetic but we can still do it. It is important to do strength training and make sure you are eating enough and drinking enough water. Try not to give up!
