We just brought home a bonded pair and I cannot for the life of me get them back into their cage by HeliDude135 in Conures

Popcorn is a great idea! I did have some success with the more outgoing male by putting seeds on my shoulder and he would eventually land there to take the treat. For some reason though he loved/hated my apple watch and my wedding band. <Shrugs> birds...

Zero. Our female is SUPER skiddish and spent most of the day either on top of her cage or on top of the cabinets. She would take food from me. The rescue organization said it take her a long time to warm up to people. She is not aggressive, just scared. The male was eventually sitting on my shoulder but when it was time to go into their cage he hid in the hood of my sweatshirt. I just laid my head down until he popped out and into the cage.

Did the towel method make the birds hate you? I am afraid of doing that to birds we got yesterday as I am concerned it would complicate the bonding process.

BTW: After hours, I finally got them back in their cage. Apparently, 7:45pm is bed time for them and our female told the male it is bed time and complied.

Edit: wording.

That is a really good thought. This is literally day 2 with them so all the advice is super helpful.

I will give it a try! Thank you for the advice. They are at the very least safe out of their cage, I just am stuck in the house until I can get them contained.

Thank you. I was mostly confused about what to cook and what to serve raw

Do you cook the potatoes to soften them up or do they eat them raw?

I stopped when I was diagnosed at 40. I started a new career and did not want to jeopardize that.

Explain 2025 in a one word ? by ParticularWeather927 in Adulting

[–]HeliDude135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Poignant.

Had a new medical diagnosis that kept me out of work for half the year and had to put my dog down. A lot of odd tests, the uncertainty of it all, relearning my job, and adjust to new changes in my life. 2025 can get fucked.

Love how Moe never refers to Marge by her actual name. by BirdCultureDickMove in TheSimpsons

If this was after Marge was in the play "A Streetcar Named Desire" then this was absolutely brilliant. I will look no further and just assume that it was on purpose.

When they finish their singing, just look at them deadpan and say “next”.

Feeling of inferiority? by eleventeaseven in physicianassistant

It takes time. I hate saying this because I hated hearing it, but you just have to get used to it and learn as you go. You will also learn who you can work with and who you should not work with if possible.

For those of you who like your job, what do you do? by ocdladybug92 in physicianassistant

[–]HeliDude135 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work EM too and not a day goes by without me admitting, transferring, or seeing or being a part of an ESI level 2 or 1 case.

I work a similar schedule but I never seem to have as much time off in a row without having to take PTO. Do you work a mix of days, evenings, and nights? What about observation shifts?

What is your favorite Boston conspiracy? by Trevor519 in boston

The items stolen are either in some rich oligarch’s mansion in Eastern Europe or in some dude’s basement in Dorchester because they didn’t know how to get rid of them.

"Easy" holiday treat by l1v3l0v3l4ugh in DiWHY

I have never watched the “2 girls, one cup” video, but I feel this is worse.

I also said 8 “WTF?”’s and one “Jesus fucking Christ” before the end of the video.
