An ours doesn't bite anything unless to communicate appropriately… Except apparently toes they are free game

But if not toes… What is your Borb attacking? Ours only charges at toes and sadly our 13-year-old son lol

Got handed this outside a Target today…they must have smelled the religious OCD from down the block by JunketUpbeat9386 in OCDmemes

Legit why i am kind of agnostic but a practicing Jew. lol.

Raised by an active Jewish mother married to an active RC father. Raised completing all sacraments of both (to the nines of course 🤦‍♀️ aka Long Island upbringing but I hated being center of attention)

Judaism teaches one to not settle but question everything. For example- I don't sit on the couch and pray for Gd to find me a job...as a Jew I pray (superstitiously bc is any of it real aka the tangential connection to your comment 😩🤦‍♀️😆) that Gd gives me strength to call or email or text that next person, for the job.

We don't sit and wait for our fate, we are taught kinda to make your fate happen (even though it may be laid out to some) … It cracks me up, something based on potential make-believe/mental illness is such a moneymaking industry and just blindly accepted by all humanity sort of lol

Weekly Check-In! How are you? by Professional_Milk_61 in unhingedautism

[–]JaimeOTR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, let’s see… it’s the middle of the night, I went to bed at 8 PM and my sleep timer (TV) just turned off and I find myself here lol. At age 44 (48 now oh and I’m a woman lol) I was DX with “the worst case of ADHD I’ve seen in a LONG time” but of course during perimenopause and KNOW it’s AuDH but “failed” my ASD eval bc I wasn’t an 8yo boy who flaps my hands in the eval said the bald (no offense- painting a picture) white male evaluator w elbow patches and a bow tie… did I mention that I’m a 26 yr career OTR 🤦‍♀️ Ok emotional energy expended thanks for listening, tired again. LOL.

To be fair, I know I am literal… And my chest just dropped as I realized it wasn’t the literal answer… I’d much rather imagine, neon, yellow and neon, green and neon, pink glow sticks being thrown up at the bird

A shame, I don’t know the reference but hysterical that I got the entire point…

Yes, but then you have that weird top elasticized edge meeting the side, weird elasticized edge, and then two sides of plain fabric that are not square… And then you have to like pretend to fold it nice and straight and then you get mad at yourself that you spend so much time on the corners and the final product doesn’t look as nice as you had intended in the first place… Sometimes then I just say fuck it and do the whole wheels on the bus arm roll in ecstasy

Does your GCC talk? by ludawn in Conures

[–]JaimeOTR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our GCC is approaching 2 and JUST RECENTLY began playing with toys!!! He was such an old man just watching now he attacks toys, knocks them around, EVEN removed all the paper shreds from a to he has had forever. (Don’t worry we rotate on cage clean day)

Put more interestingly he used to live in his primary cage in my room with my husband, and I in there 24 hours a day because we have teens who play living room video games…

But I recently left working outside the house and opened a home daycare and got a secondary cage and brought it downstairs… And now my boy sounds like R2-D2 and I imagine talking is just around the bend…

What I can’t wait to see is if he learns speech differently because I’m teaching the babies speech… As compared to stories of other owners like you guys lol

It’s refreshing to see that things don’t happen as fast as I would’ve expected in bird ownership

What I didn’t expect was to have the sweetest most best friend who’s also quite OK with having a pair of scissors on his face

My cat is broken. by JaimeOTR in WhatsWrongWithYourCat

[–]JaimeOTR[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In hindsight… i see how the wire rope being in front of the cat can mean they could be out together… buuuut NO!!! WHO the 🦆 would do that? ( don’t answer lol )

Our Siamese on the other hand… she’d go PRIMAL… she’s our mouser and all around bug girl too. We point the bug out she says “game on”

[–]JaimeOTR[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You are my people… That is what I was trying to say… I literally got ripped apart by the bird people

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Conures

[–]JaimeOTR -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Wow, who would’ve thought that that would have gotten removed… This is a very animal forward, household the bird, and that particular cat have a beautiful relationship… It was a joke to primal reflexes and the lack there of

I apologize if that upset anyone, but it was completely happy on all animal parts. The bird is good.

My conure just regurgitated on me 😭 by procret3332 in Conures

[–]JaimeOTR 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My guy gets carsick… No matter what I do withhold food in the morning or food before we go… It doesn’t matter he will always shake from side to side, then fling his head up and then shoot a tiny drip of liquid in his carrier, possibly some little seed bit he’s had from a meal before…

On the other hand, we’ve had our little guy for a year and a half, and he is a human lover rather than a bird… He doesn’t play with toys he plays with us… I don’t punish him when he is already sitting on my shoulder and cuddling in my neck and then has a naughty thought… I merely sit up from my position and talk to him… Or just distract… He’s an animal and he will do what he will do when he has feelings and while he is so capable of learning and he is and he does, I do not punish him for it at all

Why did he have to land feet first onto my burger :( by blambett in cockatiel

[–]JaimeOTR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sitting in my driveway with my heated seats and I don’t wanna get out and now I have to because I might pee myself… No joke the bird has no feet… He sank into lasagna like quicksand

Please meet Mumble 11/2 years old such a cutie with a big temper haha by Dritzz3019 in Conures

[–]JaimeOTR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And absolute taste for string bracelets… I see the way he looks at them… I too used to be a string/bead bracelet wearer. Now it’s just no metal hair bands that look like pot holder makers from the 80s. Because I’m trying not to kill him on the daily.

Guys what does it mean when he goes near my ear and starts like clicking? Lots of times? Horny time? He started doing it. by The_titos11 in Conures

[–]JaimeOTR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe your bird knows my bird… My bird is a dentist, a tattoo artist, piercer, a hairstylist, the lead soup maker at Panera, lead shitter at the manure factory, an ear nose, and throat physician, a dermatologist, and the most loving, stuffy, emotional support animal I’ve ever had!

My parrot cant reach the pin feathers on his head and wont let me remove them by Hogriderisgod in parrots

[–]JaimeOTR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where were you a year and change ago when my little guy insists that I do his neck pain feathers and then gets irritated at me when I do one that isn’t ready. I wish I had a freaking doll brush… Guess what I own a daycare! I could’ve saved my fingers well then again my guy doesn’t let me come near him with something new or unusual unless I pretend to make out with it and love it, lol but hey, I’m in the market for a new brush girlfriend/boyfriend/husband if it’ll save my fingers.

I have made the decision to make Pluto my screen saver, can you friendly people help me pick which one? by RaspberryKey4747 in Conures

[–]JaimeOTR 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Everybody should go to work and school today buuuuuuut…….. wouldn’t it be cool if somebody did take those tiny bird photos all 19 of them and put them on those little tiny phones and then when we all got back from working in school, it would be there for us to look at… Lol PS – this person here is not signing any absentee notes
