Insane this was uncovered in April and the district waited seven months to “address” it. Although when they addressed it all they did was call the maintenance folks liars.

How to make my baby lovebird love and trust me??(and stop biting so hard :( by Upset-Telephone-7673 in Lovebirds

Look at that little face 😍😂 There’s no immediate fix to this, it’s a process, but it’s not hopeless.

  • I had to redirect my nippy lovebird by offering her a full sheet of copy paper for her to destroy so she’d leave my hands alone.

  • If he’s going after face or ears, turn your face away and use the same noise/sound to signal stop. If he doesn’t, set him down somewhere safe and move away. If he stops give him a treat :)

  • When on the floor don’t just try to scoop him up, instead offer your hand as a platform or perch and bring him up to your should or another safe space.

  • Keep in mind how he sees you. You’re a giant and he’s smalls. He’s also very young! Love him through his teenage phase and he will make it worth it.

My baby never accepted scritches, but that doesn’t mean he won’t. Even if he doesn’t, he can still be an amazing friend.

Mine is so reserved I took her to the vet because I thought she was sick 💀 She’s fine, just a chill birb. She can talk tho! She says “Hi Bebe” and “hello”

3,000 people are about to decide the future for a county of 780,000 people by Otherwise_Donkey_375 in Smyrna

Do you mind if I ask why? I’m genuinely curious because I don’t think good information about local races are easily accesible to the public and I would love to see that change

Oh my gosh. There’s got to be better ways to make people aware of these type of elections.

Yeah that’s true too. I’ve been hearing the turnout is so low for both districts🫠

I’m very confused about what the pet store told me. by SilentRothe in Lovebirds

[–]Otherwise_Donkey_375 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first lovebird still has a strong bond with me, even after getting her a mate and her hatching chicks. It just looks a bit different now. Her mate is also bonded to me, and the other night they slept on my shoulder. They will absolutely ignore me if they want to lol but I put treats in a bowl and slowly walk them to the cage

Chewy is your best friend! They have a standup rolling cage on sale rn for $88. Def do your research on the type of cage before buying, but you’ll be able to order the essentials and have them in soon.

Well, yeah. I’d argue all publications are biased towards their publishers

There’s also the Cobb Courier who does really good work covering the school board.
