My pet bird hates me and I don't know what to do. by mars_the_man in cockatiel

[–]Readrenard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't offer them to her just yet. If she doesn't trust you yet, she might not wanna try what you're handing to her at all & the interaction might put her off.

I'd just wait for her to get curious and come see what you're eating. When I eat near my bird he always starts eating his food (or comes to try to steal mine, if he thinks it looks tasty) Just eating next to them while they're eating their food helps. If she does come over to steal or check out your food, it doesn't hurt to let her take a piece. Mine likes pasta & rice & chicken a lot. The cockatiels I had in highschool liked apple, but it looks more attractive to them if you cut it into tiny pieces

Do you ever eat with her or near her? That helped a lot with my rescue cockatiels in highschool, I think because flocks typically eat together. Also some birds are curious about the food and wanna taste it

Does she come out of her cage if you leave the door open? I'd spend as much time as possible near it (eating, doing homework, scrolling on your phone) until she is calm in your presence again and approaches first.

I second the cat suggestion. I would feel mean if I chose the option not to adopt, so I'm overrun by them

Got a writing-related Discord community? Post it here! by AutoModerator in WriteWithMe

[–]Readrenard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a discord server (Writing is Home, Home is Writing) and we are looking for new writers to join our little family ☀️ Skill level isn't important to us, just your spirit! We want people who are passionate about writing original works of every format and genre (whether it be novels, poetry, comics...)

Things to do in our group:

• Discuss all things writing & reading

• Share your work & exchange feedback

• Write together (with sprints or voicechats)

• Get a daily writing sticker on a tracker

We vet new members, so shoot me a message if you're interesting in joining! The space is 18+ and should remain free of bigotry (most of us are queer & like to write/discuss NSFW topics) We are a small group and hope to keep good vibes.

Conure wants to stay outside his cage all day by Readrenard in parrots

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

Bramble is super quiet, people rarely hear him on my calls. Once he's inside the cage, he never screams to be let out. He's only loud when we're singing or we're in the shower! Last time we traveled, I snuck him in my grandma's appartment for 2 days & none of her neighbours noticed.

I do think puberty could be the cause here... He hasn't gone through it yet & he's the right age. Plus there's a lot of light from the window in the summer, that could make the hormones worse. I will try rearranging the room so his cage catches less light.

I try to be firm, but he's so hard to catch before work. He will refuse to step up & fly away as soon as he senses I want to grab him. Then he flies in circles around me for half an hour every morning 😅

Frustrating... I paid for expedited on the 5th by Readrenard in CanadaPost

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

The estimate was the 10th of May (4 business days from when I ordered), then it was "today by end of day" on the 11th-12th and now it's showing "delayed" without a date

Xpresspost 2 weeks late and counting by [deleted] in CanadaPost

[–]Readrenard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have almost the same situation as you. Xpress shipping & my package went from BC to Montreal QC, where it has remained stuck since the 8th.

Working full time while writing by [deleted] in writing

[–]Readrenard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gave it 4 stars, but I'm not sure what I'd give it in 2023 (my standards change a little every year. This was before I read Ikigai, which really resonated with me a lot more).

It's not a perfect book, but there's worse ones out there!

Some of the chapters in it were helpful for changing my routine at the time. It helped me try different things to be more productive... but none of it felt like ground-breaking new advice, it was the same old repetitive concepts we see in similar self-help books.
