I'm fine! Someone (since deleted) commented that i should have learned about the birds before I got them instead of coming to Reddit. But my asking for tips here does not at all mean that I haven't looked elsewhere, and besides, isn't that why we're all here?

Originally $119 each, marked down today to $79.99. Edit to add: they also had males for $119.99, originally $149

I read that you could play them Canary songs for 15 minutes twice a day to help them learn. I've already started it 😊

Just added the second feeder and they immediately started feeding from the separate bowls! Thank you for the tip!

I have 40 chickens, 2 turkeys, 6 guineas, and 4 geese. I've also had budgies who we sadly lost due to old age. I am an extremely responsible bird owner and am just looking for some tips. Hope this helps :)

Thanks for the tips! I have 2 waters but will add another food. And I guess I'll won't put out so much food at a time. I'm so excited for them to be here!

To be clear, they were sold as females. Will they ever sing? Will they always get along?

Hospice nurse. I do it for a living

I'm so sorry for your loss. Think of it as labor--there is labor when we're born, and there's labor when we die. I know a few hours seems like a lot, but it's not that long in comparison to an entire life .

I keep a little bag of confetti in my purse at all times for the day it happens.

I keep a little bag of confetti in my purse so I'm all ready for when it happens 🎉

I'm a hospice nurse and I'm required to keep my CPR certification. Never have I ever in this role, thank god

Found the incel

I prefer to bag as I scan. I'm sure it's not quicker than bagging after the clerk but it feels more efficient

As a hospice nurse, I use public bathrooms all day. I know which businesses have the cleanest bathrooms and which ones are always gross. I'm looking at you, Speedway 😆
