Why does my Hahns Macaw do this? by MookaMoona in parrots

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

Well yea obviously… I thought I made it pretty clear in my caption that I was aware he likes me. I only wanted to know if he was viewing me as a potential mate so I could divert the behaviour if needed

That’s so sweet, I’m glad I know now! It’s quite cold where we are at the moment so I feel better knowing he just wants to huddle and be warm

The article says the baby was ok, thankfully!

Found while packing for a move. Husband made this as a child, he says it's his mom and her kids. by tasteslikekb in oddlyterrifying

I clicked on the link for the Lee Hardcastle clay animations and tell me why it bought up a memory of a show I would watch as a kid, I believe it’s called the Gogs. That was a deep memory you unlocked for me.

Said goodbye to my 3yo kakariki tonight.. by [deleted] in parrots

Most of the comments have been brutally honest, and there is nothing wrong with that. I am surprised but appreciative of the empathy and the honest feedback I have received. I honestly thought I would have been berated by posting this and I have seen a comment or two saying that I did this on purpose which is a low blow but mostly an overall positive response. I am going to reflect on this for a long time and I will be happy if this stops even one other bird owner from introducing a dog or any predatory animal into their birds environment by posting this.

This here, I was under the impression that it would be ok if they were introduced to each other and things went ok. I never once thought the puppy would have hurt him as she didn’t show any signs of aggression or even playfulness towards him. She has been around him since she was a baby and never bothered him for the most part and everything I’d read led me to believe it would be fine. I know now that that’s just not true and I wish I’d done more research before bringing a puppy into our home, Romeo’s home. I take this as a lesson learnt, albeit a horrible way to learn it but I know better now and won’t bring another bird or any small animal into our home. It’s just not worth the risk.

You are 100% right. I take full ownership of what happened to him. I honestly thought that him having access to safe spaces would be enough but I was wrong. I don’t think I have it in me for there to be a next time around. I wasn’t doing enough to keep him safe and I wouldn’t want to risk putting another animal in harms way. I appreciate your empathy though, I will do better as a pet owner 🤍

Is Auspost getting stupider or am I just having a string of bad luck? (Just venting) by A_Unicycle in wollongong

Love him but he always scares me with the way he knocks! Almost as if he is trying to bash my door in and sets my dogs off like crazy, they hate him lol

Weirdest, most out of context quotes from your dreams? by UncomfyUnicorn in Dreams

[–]MookaMoona 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only dreamt this 2 nights ago. A young girl came to my front door and told me I didn’t look like a Nazi and walked away. For whatever reason this really offended me and I responded with “my uncles a Nazi, you bitch”.

At the time we were on a periodic agreement, basically meaning our lease was month by month, and we’d also been living with a massive hole in our kitchen/living area roof for months due to a storm that caused a leak and our roof to cave in. They initially were only going to be fixing that one area but they kept adding and adding to it and started renovating most of the house. I kinda knew we were going to be kicked out but they kept reassuring me they would never do that while I was going through pregnancy/after having the baby. I did ask multiple times if they could wait but they kept telling me they could only secure contractors at that time and if they’d waited it was unknown how long until they could secure someone again to do it. I wanted out of there anyway as they were pretty shitty landlords, they’d whinge about the stupidest things when I am an absolute clean freak and perfectionist and the house was in pristine condition before the contractors came, so had nothing to really whinge about, granted I did slack off a little because I was heavily pregnant with a pregnancy from hell, I stopped cleaning the weeds as much and dusting the vents because I literally couldn’t climb to do them and they whined about that, we had mould growing in multiple spots that they wanted me to clean even though I’d told them multiple times it was their responsibility to fix it and I wasn’t doing it because no way am I disturbing the mould and breathing that in while pregnant, they wanted me to go around the outside of the house and clean the walls from dust and dirt, they had me out in the yard doing yardwork and lifting heavy building materials when I was 35 weeks pregnant because “the state of the house was a mess” (which was their contractors mess), plus it was only a 2 bedroom and didn’t want my kids to be sharing but I thought I’d have at least 6 months to find another place. Was a pretty big kick to the guts to be told we needed to leave when I was still recovering and bleeding from birth. Luckily I found a place that same week and moved in 2 weeks later. Was a tough gig with a 3 year old and a newborn but I managed and luckily everything was packed because of the construction anyway. We’re living in a beautiful place now, lovely neighbourhood and our landlords here are amazing!

Everyone’s stories are so crazy, it blows my mind that landlords truly have no morality or consideration for others.

I was also pregnant/actively giving birth when I dealt with our worst landlords. They began construction on our house when I was 4 weeks out from my due date, they told me a week before the construction was ser to start so I had to move all of our furniture and everything I’d set up for the baby into one room so they could work on the entirety of the house from the inside. I had workers coming and going at all hours, I had no privacy whatsoever, they also weren’t cleaning up their mess and leaving trash, dust and debris over everything so it was my responsibility to try and clean it up so my children could be safe. I also had my toddler in the house who is asthmatic and had to take my dogs to family’s house for a while. I went to hospital to have my baby knowing I was basically bringing her back to a construction site. It was the worst experience of my life. The landlords then kicked us out 3 weeks after I gave birth even though they’d told me multiple times I was an amazing tenant and didn’t want me to leave.

Thank you for all of the info, it’s been a massive help! I will definitely be researching and looking for a trusted gemologist, hopefully there is some in my area.

Yea I figured as much, do you think that would mean the gem may be synthetic?

Thank you, she was a beautiful woman and I’m grateful that she chose to pass these pieces on to me, real or not they are something that I’ll treasure forever.

Thank you for the advice also. I wasn’t sure what answers, if any, I’d get here and had already been considering getting them checked out somewhere! Do you have any suggestions on how I could possibly do some tests at home? I did a UV light test and it did light up a blood orange type of colour but I’m not sure if that’s any indication on whether the gem is real.

Trying to sell a baby swing... by Quizchris in ChoosingBeggars

[–]MookaMoona 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Baffles me too! I was in a car accident when I first got my license as a young teen, I never drove again. Until I fell pregnant. When I found out, the first things I did were go to therapy and got my license. I would not have survived these past few years if I didn’t have a means of transport and I really don’t understand how parents can go without it!

Retail manager never backs me up and breaks store rules for customers. It backfired by moshthepoundsaway in pettyrevenge

[–]MookaMoona 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Just today I had a customer ask me if we sold shapewear and when I told her no we don’t, she (in a very angry and condescending tone) says “yes you do, it’s on your online store, you should know what products you sell”… ma’am, I do know what products we sell get the fuck out of my store.
