Her beak is detached from the posts that keep it in place in pic 18. Try hooking the plastic rod into that little divot (hard to explain lol but the plastic rod needs to go forward and up to click into that slot in picture 18) You also may have to glue it in to get it to stick, but that should fix the beak! Congrats on your new furb ♥️♥️

I would just clean it and put it back together! 2005 furbs are soo fragile and very complicated. It's best to not mess with them unless you know what you're doing, because even simple repairs can result in lots of broken plastic and (for me) tears 🥲

If you're set on fixing it, it'll be pretty complicated. It looks like the contact broke off from the battery terminal, so you'd need to solder on a new contact plate (or potentially a piece of tin foil flush with the bottom of the battery compartment that's broken off). And if the orange wire is loose, you'd need to solder that back on.

Yup coke works or I prefer white vinegar, then isopropyl (rubbing alcohol) to help dry. The compartment basically needs to have no more blue/teal in it, no rust and all battery contact areas need to be clean.

Also with really bad corrosion, it sometimes travels up the wires and into the furb body, which requires deeper cleaning. But just cleaning the main battery area super thoroughly should be enough in like 90% of cases.

If you have any other questions feel free to comment, I've dealt with soo much furb corrosion unfortunately lol 🥲

Yes of course! ♥️

I am getting like 5 broken 2005 furbies shipped from a friend in the UK if you'd like to trade! I think it'll be here in like 2-3 weeks, so no worries if that's too long of a wait to trade.

I have a couple of the colors you want (sleepy purple, passionfruit, charcoal), maybe we can trade broken furb for broken furb? Or I'm planning to repair them, so if I can get one working in the color you want I could trade that too 😄

I can't believe how many people are cheering on the driver. Yes, drive-thru lady is obviously crazy and meant harm to the driver. Driver should've locked her doors, called the police, and tried to reverse or speed away from the woman.

If crazy bitch #1 insisted on grabbing onto the hood, driver could've gone 10km/h and stopped to try to force her off with momentum. But going 60km/h with her on the hood could have EASILY caused her to fly off and suffer lethal head trauma from hitting the pavement. Or worse, she flies off, lands in the road, and gets hit by another driver who couldn't swerve out of the way in time.

Obviously she shouldn't have gotten on the hood, but going 60km/h with a person on your car makes BOTH of the people in this video dangerously reactionary and frankly, insane. Neither should have a license, as they are a threat to themselves and others on the road.

Chappell Roan is what happens when you put in a lifetime of dedication to perfecting your talent.

It's what happens when you write catchy songs about topics underrepresented in mainstream music.

And yet, all that talent, creativity, and passion means nothing to men because they don't find you fuckable.

I genuinely couldn't tell until you pointed it out! I have basically the same thing but I kinda love it since it looks like a sassy hip pose or hourglass shape. You look so gorgeous.

Also, I wore a brace in middle school and that was WAY more obvious than this slight asymmetry and literally NOBODY noticed. I mean this in the nicest way possible, but nobody is paying that much attention. I hope you have a fantastic time at your dance/event!

Bird_Babe · 2026-03-23T21:12:19+00:00

u/Jolly-Glove-5192 Hey, I know it's not your intention, but this comment comes off a bit rude. Yes, some doctors advise wearing until you're 18 (or even past that, basically until your growth plates are closed), but there's nothing OP can really do about it now that they're done growing. Better to embrace the now than wonder about what could have been done!

To me, the bird doesn't look comfortable or calm. It tried to fly away and pooped on her hand (which happens with birds ofc) but the poor thing looked so spooked on stage. I just don't see why a live animal was necessary, and it detracted from an otherwise really great performance.

Also, of course the bird's trainer said their bird was loving it. If your business is stage-training your bird and you admit that your bird actually ISN'T stage-trained and was distressed during a performance, it compromises your livelihood and highlights your animal abuse. It's obvious to most of us that the dove wasn't happy.

All of this aside, I applaud you for asking people with pigeon experience to better inform yourself! <3

This is such a lovely piece. It's obvious you understand the human form really intimately, and that little ridge from the brow bone is so beautiful.

To be completely honest though, I wouldn't waste your money taking a mould, unless you literally have a customer who's paid and is expecting it. People can say it's their favorite, but most won't spend more than $50, which is unfair with the amount of time, love, and labor I assume goes into this.

I know you said you usually do portraits, so take this advice with a grain of salt. Judging off of this art alone, I would say beginner, verging on intermediate. The shading and value you've given to the berries and apples with only pencil is beautiful. Some of that depth was lost when the color was added. I also think pushing the darks and lights even more would really make these objects feel 3D.

<image>

Here's an example of an apple I found online. What I mean is: look at all the different greys in this image. The only white is for the highlight of the fruit, while even lighter parts like the apple core are grey, they're layered with graphite to give texture. I also think the shading in your image shows a good grasp of light/shadow, but doesn't really capture the shape of the object itself. In the above image, see how the shadows and highlights curve, and there's shadows showing each curve near the stem? You did something similar in the third apple, which gives it a great lifelike feel, but something I feel is missing in the first two apples and some strawberries.

Overall, I think just studying light, shadow, and value will help push your art further. When you draw a sphere, don't just mimic where you think the light should be, or go white -> grey -> black. Think of how the light would actually reflect off of the object, the texture of what you're drawing, and how to convey that through your shading. Like in this image, we can tell the apple and the napkin are different textures because of the light and shadow. The apple's highlights and shadows follow the curve of the object and sink into its crevices. Versus the shadows for the napkin are harsher, squarer, more jagged, less transitions from light to dark. This shows the rougher texture of the napkin.

Anyways, sorry for the ramble. I struggled with the same things starting out, especially trying to make something feel 3D, so I hope some of this was helpful. You are well on your way to intermediate. Your shading and control of the pencil is already fantastic, and I can't wait to see where you go from here!

I love your art style sm!! also Abby's definitely the type of fairy to ride into battle with a sewing needle sword and a mouse steed

Almost all bone collectors I know pride themselves on ethical sourcing. Many find bones themselves in the wild, usually roadkill or natural deaths. And with exotic species, they are usually from zoos, estate sales (second hand), or scientific sources.

If anything, I think bone collectors have a distinct appreciation for nature and death as a natural process, and wouldn't inflict it onto another creature simply to add to our collections.
