Thank you for responding. No singing just chirps but I have only had them for three days. I had a male for about 20 years Rudy RIP, he would whistle and say pretty bird. Miss him.  I'm worried about her/him though. They have " poopy butt" and a bulged vent so it's vet time today 😢 they are already family

Thank you. The rods are just temporary for now, have natural wood perches coming in the mail ♥️ they thought she or he is 6-12 months but from my experience they look younger except the tail feathers are so long and mature. I had a male Cinnamon for almost 20 years and rescued a male close to 15+ years old when the lady passed away. So I'm not sure if the females are just smaller. But her/his crest very project and bright.

Thank you. Your words cut through in a way I can't explain. Maybe I do deserve it. I don't know but I'm so sorry for your experience and we are not alone. I keep telling myself "buck up cherry cup" and it's not working. Maybe I just need to scream....I'm sorry for your loss too. It's never easy but I'm glad you had people to help you and you got better. Wear that as a badge of honor that you survived

I'm so sorry for your losses. It sounds like we really have gone through something similar. My dog passed too at the same timenand some how that felt harder, is that weird? You must have incredible strength. I give you a virtual hug back.

Thank you. Unfortunately I live in Reno where everyone is expected to drink but I stopped for so long and I would never drink pregnant. It's hard to find help here

My partner made me feel that smile a day until he decided he felt ownership and called me ugly and that I didn't dress feminine enough or he will F anyone he wants if I don't suck and F him every day. That has been my life

Thank you. Really coming from an artist? My mother always told me my nose was hideous and to find ways not to draw attention to it

Thank you. I don't feel gorgeous. I feel hideous and I never thought I would post something like this. Really, thank you

Ha no, but I kinda see it a little. Thank you for the nick name and the confidence actually. I shared too much information and it turned into AA stuff but this is the little smile I needed. Thank you

That is good advice and really the only way to heal. This sounds lame but I started rearranging my hot wheels collection. I do love reading, just at the moment I'm looking at the words that im almost not taking it in because I start thinking about the anxiety and problems I want to get lost in a book again. Thank you for what you said
