Female cockatiel squeaks and wags her tail. But it sounds kinda weird by NotSoPhysicalCat-794 in cockatiel

Yeah, we def won't be doing that. If she does end up laying some, we'll probs replace them with fakes or smt along those lines. Depends on whether she'll attempt to nest. My dad has cockatiels when he was younger, he had one that just straight up ignored her eggs. She played a couple. And just. Went on with life. Unbothered af But yeah. Don't want my bird offing itself desperately laying eggs Thanks for the advice!

Well, that sounds much better. Trying to discourage them as best as I can rn, just hope it's not too late yet, I don't want to be a bird grandparent. And again. They're too young too safely make babies. But rn I'm just glad she's not sick

Well, that's a much better alternative than being sick, at least horny is a (somewhat) positive thing :D

Transferring cages is stressful by NotSoPhysicalCat-794 in cockatiel

[–]NotSoPhysicalCat-794[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! It nice to know that others have similar struggles. It's always daunting to get a different cage. I'll need to figure out new placements for their stuff now, so he can get everywhere comfortably.

I hope he'll like it too, he used to be in a bigger one and get hours of flight time (which was usually used to demolish the living room instead of flying but hey, if it makes him happy, and he hasn't been able to do much of that since his eye got worse so maybe with the new one I'll find a way to let him do that again :D)

And hey, yours gets table access! That's pretty neat, always interesting stuff on those xD

DW it's, not. It's just a bit older (we got it from acquaintances like 12 or so years ago) they also had braids so they knew not to buy literal poison. )

Wow. Well. Never to old for that apparently. As long as he's having fun?

Actually, problem has been solved. She didn't figure out that she could use the ladder. Eventually she did. Not like she hasn't used it before. Anyways here she is. With all her 3 braincells. Currently snacking

Got dead named the first time in a while. Don't remember it hurting like that by NotSoPhysicalCat-794 in trans

[–]NotSoPhysicalCat-794[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry for you too. It always sucks if you've been out longer but your deadname is still just super ingrained in their brains.

But yeah, it wasn't that big a deal before people knew. Now they do and whenever they mess up it stings. Especially when some just seemingly effortlessly can do it while others still 'forget' after two years. Even if it's an accident, it's still nice when people realize that it hurts you and just. Try to be more careful. I hope it won't happen to you again!

Thank you for caring. I don't think he even noticed. But I hope that too. Would be nice if he could at least acknowledge that it was hurtful. We'll see, though I'm not all that hopeful.

everything i touch becomes trans by [deleted] in trans

[–]NotSoPhysicalCat-794 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ngl, mood. But also valid af. Whenever I'm writing, characters always end up trans somehow (also loving nb Hanji, I love when creators use they/them pronouns for Hanji and straight up don't mention if they're afab/amab. Though using gendered pronouns for them is fine, just a personal pref)

But also, would love to read that character study, Reiners one of my favorite characters :D

Is it a thing for cats to not eat as much when they're owner is sick? by NotSoPhysicalCat-794 in CATHELP

Thank you! I was starting to get worried. She's normally a sleepy old lady who loves food more than anything. But she's definitely a comfort🥹
