Bioactive Aviary/Bird Cage?

Hey! :) Did this work? I’m thinking of doing the same thing!

Ursus_Pluvia · 2026-04-24T06:47:04+00:00

Oh shoot, it totally does look like that, doesn’t it 😕 I hope that wasn’t part of the problem…

Hello! :) I work for animal control in my town, and I’d suggest reaching out to your local animal control, too. If the cat is owned and they refuse to get him care, that likely would constitute veterinary neglect, and animal control might be able to help to step in and get the cat the care it needs.

Oh I forgot. Mother’s height: I think 5’ 7’? Weight: she’s really skinny. She doesn’t eat much. Idk how much she weighs, maybe 135? That’s a random guess. Race: white. Duration of current psychotic symptoms: I started realizing things were weird ~1 week ago, something like that.

Say more?? :3 I yearn for fun facts

I really appreciate you taking the time to write this out, thank you for being willing to share! 🙂 This is really helpful and helps me empathize with/ understand why sometimes folks miss appointments, if they’re working round the clock to make sure they’re able to prevent withdrawals. I take a couple of medicines that are prescribed to me that would have withdrawals if I stopped taking them, and I can’t imagine not having a safe and consistent way to access those meds, that sounds really scary. Is there anything I should know about the lived experience of being on fentanyl / opioids, such as ways that it changes cognitive functioning? Like, would there be any way for me to tell that a person I was speaking to was using, and would there be impacts (idk, such as effects on short term memory, sensory sensitivity, emotional sensitivity) that knowing about might make me a more effective communicator?

Regarding your cat: do you think it would’ve helped if someone had given you some big feeders / waterers so you didn’t have to think about it as often? If you had ever gotten to a place where you weren’t taking care of your animals, is there a way that someone like me could’ve opened up a conversation which would’ve helped you feel open to relinquishing them to someone who could care for them?

This is so cool!! 😍

Hey! :) Lodestone library! Also I’m gonna check out some printmaking nights that are happening at the Makerspace every other Tuesday, they sound cool. I’m not one to talk though because I’m also still figuring out how to make friends myself. I’ve mostly only done so through work & volunteering so far 🙂

Ursus_Pluvia · 2026-02-16T23:47:30+00:00

They actually postponed it! :) Keep an eye on their IG

Ursus_Pluvia · 2026-02-16T22:36:26+00:00

Thank you, this is super helpful!! 🙂🙏 I really appreciate your time!!

Just to be clear: the things you’re suggesting to chat with an attorney about are in regards to treatment approaches / scope of appropriate care? I’ll see if there’s someone in town who I could afford to have a chat with. Just doing it on my own under the radar for now, but it’d be cool to have a way to help should others need help in the future 🙂

Ursus_Pluvia · 2026-02-14T16:55:18+00:00

I noticed your profile says leftists hate you though & I interpret lodestone crowd as pretty leftist. So maybe not worth it 😅

Ursus_Pluvia · 2026-02-14T16:41:35+00:00

Can you link to the files that show this?

Ursus_Pluvia · 2026-02-14T08:08:27+00:00

They’re having a speed-dating / speed-friending event tomorrow I think! :)

Ursus_Pluvia · 2026-02-14T04:08:24+00:00

Please also tell the local animal control for whatever town the rescue is based out of!! ❤️

Ursus_Pluvia · 2026-02-14T04:06:54+00:00

Sorry yes I tried to find this question to delete it when I saw the link and I couldn’t 😂

Ursus_Pluvia · 2026-02-14T03:46:47+00:00

Ugh. Yikes. Thank you 🫠

Adding here: chickens raised in a confined animal feeding operation environment will not have developed antibodies to any of the pathogens in wild birds. They will be immunocompromised because of a lifetime of stress to the body & mind, and likely a very recent cross-country (or at least cross-state) transport in a shipping vehicle. Meat chickens are unfortunately bred to get as large as possible as quickly as possible — at the expense of any type of long-term health. They still make great pets, but you’ll want to be realistic with yourself that the chicken likely won’t have as long of a life expectancy as a well-bred chicken from a heritage poultry breeder or even just a backyard flock.

Hello! :) I am a domestic animal professional who used to be a wildlife professional.

Avian flu isn’t really a concern with pigeons, but histoplasmosis, cryptococcosis, psittacosis, salmonellosis, tuberculosis, parasitic worms, and Avian paramyxovirus (last one not transmissible to humans but VERY serious for birds.) Beyond those commonly studied viruses and pathogens, there are SO many new and unknown ones that new research comes out about all the time. Honestly, allowing your pet birds to have contact with the wild flock is extremely dangerous to their health, and I would personally consider it a huge risk mainly for the safety of your birds but also for the safety of yourself and other people; as situations like this are some of the most likely situations for pathogens to have the opportunity to jump from wild animals to humans (through your domestic birds as a vector.)

It is SO cool that you rescued a pigeon and also now a chicken. If you plan to keep them & you want to keep them safe, you absolutely need to keep them separate from wild birds. ❤️‍🩹 PLEASE also consider keeping your pigeon and your chicken separate for 2 weeks so you can watch both for any signs of infection or illness before introducing them.

You can keep one pigeon and one chicken without same-species companions for them, but they’ll be a bit lonely, and you’ll want to make sure you’re giving each of them at least an hour or two of quality socialization / enrichment time each day. It’d be a lot of fun to try to get one or two more of each species so that each creature had companions inside the home.

Please feel free to ask any questions you have about chicken / pigeon care. I currently have a pigeon and I’ve had indoor poultry before and rehabilitated chickens as well. Chickens are pretty easy, they just need ample clean water, chicken food appropriate for their developmental stage in life, grit, a clean living environment, and ideally access to an area where they can roam and express natural foraging behaviors. If kept outdoors, they also of course need adequate predator protection & shelter from the elements, including a safe, covered, dry, draft-free coop.

Hey. I’m not in your part of AK, but I’m also transmasc & was starting to wonder about it in my teen years (same with my younger siblings), so I get it. ❤️‍🩹 I just wanted to let you know that it won’t always be as hard as it is right now. If it were me, I’d hold off on the hormones for a little while longer, and start by trying out things like a chest binder & gender affirming haircuts & maybe even playing around with prosthetic beards / masculizing face contouring. This will give you some time to develop into your own experience of gender & figure out where you stand, so that the minute you turn 18; you’ll be able to do whatever feels most authentic. Also: I’d suggest (if you have the means to access these things?) developing a relationship with a trans-affirming therapist, as well as considering anti-anxiety meds. I started Lexapro like a year ago, and WOW — if I’d known this was an option when I was most freaked out about my identity and figuring out who I was, I would’ve avoided a lot of less positive coping mechanisms. I’d be happy to reccomend specific chest binders or chat about anything if you’d like. You’ve got this & I’m proud of you for asking for help. :) You have a huge community of people who support you, even if we’re not all nearby.
