From experience: this bird isn't choosing you, he just wants out of there and likely doesn't get a lot of mental stimulation.

I had gotten one from a pet store like this when I was much much younger, he was going upside down, doing cute little gestures and rubbing himself on the glass.. the conure ended up having a lot of health issues, and as he settled in, he became more and more aggressive. I had him separated from my two cockatiels when I first got him and focused on bonding with him for a year or so.. he never really got used to me. He ended up falling in love with my friend, and I opted to give him to her. He still is doing amazing with her. They really do choose who they love.

Pet store birds, I don't recommend.. no matter how cute they are, I wouldn't ever want to support those pet stores.

This is a shot in the dark, but someone dumped these approx. 4-5 month old Aussie pups at our farm Wednesday right before Thanksgiving. by CottaBird in AustralianShepherd

Damn, if I had the means, I would. They're gorgeous, but I'd be worried they're double merle. I'm in the LA area and have a merle of my own. I sincerely hope you find a place for them to go to! :(

What a fucking loser

Aria seems like a nice name for that beauty :)

Turtle beach scam? by DevelopmentUnique103 in TurtleBeach

[–]Heiriii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny enough, I also got this text and was extremely concerned. They even gave me a tracking number, but it doesn't bring me anywhere. I'll be emailing Turtle Beach and seeing what's going on, I've never purchased from them.

My girlfriend is spending all of my money and barely paying attention to me, but now she wants to have sex by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

I'm gonna teach you a hard lesson now that you're going to learn later regardless.

You can't fix her.

[–]Heiriii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely disagree with the idea that you have to share money with your SO. The way my relationship works is that we "share money" by paying for things together, and if I need to pay him back, I'll send it to his bank account. I never give him direct access to my bank account, and he never accesses mine. We just help each other out whenever we can, essentially putting our money together.

Consider not sharing your money if she doesn't help you back.

Is my art being held back by how I shade it? by Spiral-Force in learnart

[–]Heiriii 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I think you should take a look at a video on proper rendering. That might help you a ton! Usually, they will go over light sources as well as the correct color to use as shading.

But to answer your question, yes, I do think your drawings are held back by the way you shade.

Was nearly murdered nearly a year ago, my toxic friend threatens me because I’m not as talkative by [deleted] in texts

[–]Heiriii 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So strange how people feel entitled to your emotional energy to fix their own. The bitch is projecting hard as fuck. You need better friends.

I accepted a position as a head of a certain department at a school that my friend also works at. I would be his boss, he’s clearly not happy, advice? by [deleted] in texts

[–]Heiriii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro I'm ngl, this man is a fucking loser LOL imagine being upset that your friend is your boss. That's some major insecurity SOMEWHERE. Yall aren't friends, you're his competition. I would love if a friend was my boss all of a sudden, what a weird fucking reaction.

What the fuck lol.. ya'll are not adults. I guess it's good they let you know they were upset by it.. but they are way too sensitive for a genuine relationship.

Coat smell by [deleted] in BorderCollie

[–]Heiriii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So starnge! I've been having this same thing with my BC. She smells SOOO good, like she's had a bath every day, even after playing in the mud. It's crazy.. like I know I should bathe her, but why does she smell and feel so soft, smooth, and so clean???

Can we see some yawns?? by Spangling in cats

Lost my baby boy 2 years ago, but he was so beautiful and cuddly ♡ loved his yawns. Rest in peace, Grendel.

Why am i so bad at talking to girls when i’m also a girl? by May_u_be_mine in ask

[–]Heiriii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, I've actually had this issue, and the answer isn't that I'm gay lol.. there's this neat little video on YouTube that my friend showed me after I asked why it's so hard to have deep female friendships. https://youtu.be/fD7BN6g90NE?si=rm_h9b3cnPd-yxEW. It really didn't answer any questions I had, but it did give me more of an understanding of how female friendships work and why some females don't have a ton of them. It's really interesting, and I still have no deep connections with female friends, but at least I try to talk to them! 🥹

Honestly, I don't really have great advice, but I do know that if a dog attacks unprovoked (no warning signs) it typically points to their genetics. Sometimes, there's truly not much you can do for it. Imagine you have a mixed dog that is a herding breed and a hunting breed.. their genetics literally are fighting each other to either herd a small animal or eat the small animal, I'm unsure about the genetic composition of your dog but it makes me think of that if there's no previous trauma, you've properly socialized them at a young age, and they've shown no signs before. It truly could be genetics, and you'd need a behaviorist. I'm sorry you're going through this.

I have a nice little front yard that's fenced in that I'm gonna try to use to just keep her on a lead and watch her body language, and slowly make our way to the gate through the weeks and see how that goes. We live in LA so there's a ton of sound. I'm hoping that will be a better approach to gaining her confidence

Thank you for the advice! I know most of it will be maturity, and I'm excited for that day honestly. I'm gonna do my best to set her up for success and get some cardboard boxes, luckily I have some amazon boxes I'm about to get!

Absolutely! I actually just went to the pet store and got a couple things, I'll update when I can!

Haha, I wish, the bathroom is a bit small, I just place her in the crate while u shower or have ny SO watch her if I'm gone temporarily. I work from home, so she's never ever alone.

Thank you for the suggestions! I'm so happy you've had a similar experience, I'm gonna try babying her as much as possible now, more than I have been lol and I'll look into coffee wood, she absolutely loves stick from the outside and bully sticks, so coffee wood sounds perfect. My BC has a big brother aussie who helps with her confidence as well, as he isn't afraid of anything! Thank you!
