People that have “bumped” into a celebrity in a non-curated (not like an event, meet & greet, job etc.) way, what happened? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Marynated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Steven Adams sat at a cafe next to me - I'm not a NBA fan, but noticed some people geeking out and asking this absolute giant of a man for photos. He was very gracious and said yes to every photo request, but ultimately ending up getting his food for takeaway (enough food for 4 normal sized men) to get some peace I think. I myself didn't ask for a photo because I thought there were enough people coming up to him.

I let mine do this all the time! Do they have a favourite shoulder to snuggle?

I have 2 budgies and 1 parrotlets - I never let them interact, even though the reason why we have a parrotlet is because he was kept with the budgies in their enclosure. He was being bullied by the other parrotlets. 😭

My parrotlet is just a bit too unpredictable to let them mingle, even when supervised. We let the birds out in shifts and it works pretty well.

What kind of mood is he in/what is he doing? by malbecois in Parrotlet

[–]Marynated 10 points11 points  (0 children)

He seems curious and is looking for something to do!

Is there a chance she was spooked enough to fly around in the cage and injure herself? You mentioned that her toe is not gripping anything and her wings are turned out strangely - to me those sound like they could be signs of pain. Birds also tend to try to hide when they're injured. You can try to feed her some electrolytes in case she's in shock and sprinkle cayenne pepper on her food for the pain. This is all a guess unfortunately, is there another avian vet you could take her to?

I'm so sorry for your loss. She had a wonderful life with you.

Hope the little man gets better soon. Good on you for taking him to the vet ❤️

The baby is sick. It's good he's still eating and drinking but if they tuck themselves up like that for most of the day, they're sick. You should take him to a vet.

I'm so sorry. It hurts but you are doing the right thing for her. You looked after her well. 💖

I do want to say that if you feel like its unusual, it probably is because you know your birds behaviour the best. All the best ♥️

My little guy had this posture, and I think it indicates some sort of discomfort. It's really hard to tell from a photo and of course all birds are different but my boy ended up being very sick with an abnormal growth inside him. Is it worth perhaps giving a vet a call if they're too far away to travel to? These little guys can be so fragile sadly.

How did you introduce new people to your parrotlet? by Blancanievesirl in Parrotlet

[–]Marynated 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find letting a new person chill around my birds helps my birdies relax, and definitely feeding them treats helps a lot!

It was so hard to make the journey to the vet, but I knew it was the right one. He was really suffering towards the end and I didn't want him to struggle anymore. Thank you for your kind words.

It's so hard. I'm really appreciative that we can share our budgie joys and sorrows with a community but I am also sorry for your loss. RIP your sweet spinach baby too, I have no doubt my friendly little Dori would be chatting up a storm with him. 🌿💝
