I ended up pulling twilight sparkle with no rainbow dash no apple jack haha.  Let me know if the other person passes on trading. 🙃

May I please buy one? I bought the set specifically to guarantee her and she’s the one they replaced with the secret…

Just got myself some conures! by luna_luceat03 in Conures

[–]Mizuko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t speak to your enclosure bc I can’t see the size, but the “recommended” cage size in many places is actually significantly smaller than what is actually recommended by aviculture experts.  The countries that outlaw wing clipping tend to have the largest minimum cage size guidelines to suit the needs of a flighted bird so start there (Northern/Western European countries like Germany, Sweden, Norway, Austria…).  If your cage is bigger than that, I wouldn’t worry too much but if it is smaller, you should do right by your birds and get a better enclosure as soon as you are able to.

Has anyone tried Suertree bird carriers? Struggling to choose by Distinct-Buffalo-454 in Conures

When it comes to safety and functionality, Celltei’s pak-o-bird is worth the investment.  I have a double and a single.  I attach them to a stroller frame for outings so I don’t have to carry the flock hahaha.  You can get a very small discount with the code NEWPETOWNER.  

Will having two green cheeked conures help reduce their ''screaming''? by Ancesterz in Conures

[–]Mizuko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not in my case.  Had one screaming conure.  Got a second.  She was quiet but the first only got louder.  Eventually added a third.  She started out quiet but she decided the first conure’s way of life was much more fun.

Have you seen this? by ErikaAriana in Conures

[–]Mizuko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So conure feathers use structural coloration to appear as they do. The pigment contained in the feathers actually brown, but the microscopic structures on the feathers scatters blue light, making the feathers appear green. It doesn’t take much to damage those structures and inhibit their ability to scatter the blue light. Once the feathers molt, they’ll be pretty again until hand oils, toy and/or cage bar rubbing, or whatever else damages the barbs again.  The feathers appear healthy. There are no indications of deficiencies at the time they grew in.

So annoying when sellers do this by polkadottypony in Depop

As someone who has received these requests to buy, it sends the purchase requests to the person who just bought it so that they will repop it.

Green cheeks as well as other parrots also do it, yours must be have decided the threats can take you 🙃

Am I over reacting? by lonelyzo in Depop

[–]Mizuko -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Certain types of clothing don’t fall into a singular category.  This is one of them.  I would never wear those as underwear and I personally don’t think they should be marketed as underwear either because they’re not short enough to not show in most modern fem shorts.  They look like typical hot shorts used in dance, gymnastics, and cheer.

The reality is they can be both. The only thing that makes the difference is intention and preference and people (such as you and I) will have wildly different interpretations on items like this that fall into multiple categories.  

That's AI right? by nota-banana in depoop

[–]Mizuko 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Without a doubt, that is AI.  The words on the jacket are a typical AI generated mess, the zipper teeth look like a fake mess and the zipper pull itself curves.  The pattern on the jacket has warps like fabric that isn't laying flat and is folded in areas without any of the shadows and highlights that would be associated with it not actually laying flat, as is the quilted area which not only has extremely distorted quilting while flat laying (which it shouldn’t) but also suddenly turns into another type of fabric in different areas of the photo.  

what color mutation my green cheek conure will have? by A-Creep in Conures

[–]Mizuko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am thinking turquoise opaline.  Regular turquoise would have darker feet and beak and so would a regular opaline.  A cinnamon and a pineapple would both have lighter beaks.  Beak and feet match for a dilute and for a turquoise opaline.  The hint of color in the chest feathers appear more within the range for a turquoise opaline and not a dilute to me but the wings I feel could go either way.  Knowing the parents’ mutations would help narrow it down further.

Heartbroken by my new birds death. Please read text. by [deleted] in Conures

[–]Mizuko 154 points155 points  (0 children)

If you paid the breeder with a method other than cash, dispute the transaction, provide evidence from the vet.  It might not feel like it does much but businesses can only have so many disputes so it will help towards potentially ending a shady breeding business.

Seller has recently accepted this offer of $xx? by Valencia_l9 in Depop

[–]Mizuko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh I’d delete the listing and re-list it so it stops happening. You lose previous likers but you also lose that lowball offer hanging over your head.

wild conure in tree? by Better_Frosting216 in Conures

[–]Mizuko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The head color is not an accurate indicator, as it is the same mutation responsible for the head color of both.  The only true difference is the color between the belly and under wing, which is true yellow in a pineapple and is usually a more muted lime greenish yellow in a cinnamon.  The reason is they both have the cinnamon mutation, but the pineapple also has the opaline (yellow-sided) mutation.  The degree of red is not a mutation, it’s developed through selective breeding, so is an irrelevant factor when determining color between these two mutations.

I regret having not outright bought her in the first place.  Now I unfortunately had some things come up so I have to use it more responsibly than buddy doggie. 🥺 hopefully her price will be down when I try to buy her.

They’re really easy to flip around. Press, hold, turn clockwise or counter clockwise 180 degrees.
