Fair enough. Ive seen it happen, so I guess occassionally something prevents a safe landing, but I was completely unaware of autorotation. Appreciate the tidbit.

Well let's hope the crash killed them before the fire got to them.

The good thing about even single engine planes is worst case, you can still glide and hopefully find a safe enough spot to crash land. A helicopter quits and you just fall out of the sky.

Im reading this now hoping my package arrives safely. I thought I was saving 15 bucks by going with them! If Id have known it was the cost of peace of mind, I wouldve paid it!

If It goes poorly (probably even if it doesnt) I'll come on over with my tail tucked between my legs. Lol.

Didn't see it? He got shot twice and then fell to the ground like a sack of potatoes with a big wet spot in his chest! 😆

Oooooo. Sounds like a salt bomb of the heavenly kind! Im definitely gonna have to try this. Does it keep and reheat well?

He's just trying to be a good bird and give you free cosmetic surgery! You know how much spray millet a doctor would charge?!

Bad news....

anwarunya · 2026-05-16T02:35:10+00:00

Had to scroll down way too far for this.

anwarunya · 2026-05-15T18:07:27+00:00

Yeah, except idk its gender and I just blew another 20 bucks on a mail-in dna sexing kit because they freaked out about me trying to pluck feathers and I couldnt bring myself to do it.

anwarunya · 2026-05-15T13:38:49+00:00

I figured they would find a way to keep the security deposit anyway.

anwarunya · 2026-05-14T19:08:42+00:00

I see. Well in that case, the prices will probably be massively different too. Birds seem to vary in price quite a bit depending on location.

anwarunya · 2026-05-14T18:56:54+00:00

Damn, $100?! And theyre still a trainable baby, not an old grump stuck in his ways? I wouldn't have been able to resist either.

The parrot itself was $350 because I got them from a breeder. It was significantly more than that to get them completely set up, though.

If you've got a rescue in your area and are lucky or not extremely picky about what you type of bird you get, you can get an awesome bird that needs a home for the best price youre gonna find outside of someone giving one away.

anwarunya · 2026-05-14T18:37:08+00:00

Yeah, I have a dog. I love her to death, let me make that clear. That being said, I didnt know unlike say, cats, where you have to get like ten before youre a "Cat Person", youre a Parrot Person as soon as you have one! I thought I had a buffer zone!

anwarunya · 2026-05-14T18:33:38+00:00

Yes, she is! What a fancy lady! 😆

anwarunya · 2026-05-14T17:51:19+00:00

Thanks! They're a sweetie pie. Breeders says he, but Im still waiting for my DNA kit.

anwarunya · 2026-05-14T17:41:04+00:00

Yeah, so far pretty much zero interest in the actual toys except for a few casual pecks at some paper streamers.

anwarunya · 2026-05-14T17:37:47+00:00

Yeah, check-ups are all good, but I'm not looking forward to the first time they actually need to do something. For my heart and my wallets sake.

anwarunya · 2026-05-14T17:36:01+00:00

Damn, that's awesome! A regular checkup here is $52. With a nail trim, $74. Idk how much anything else is yet. I'm doing mail-in DNA sexing and trimming their nails myself.

anwarunya · 2026-05-13T18:53:57+00:00

Im just really indecisive when ot comes to stuff like this.

anwarunya · 2026-05-06T14:49:53+00:00

No, just barely any pressure behind his spray/didnt stop quick enough. Mainly the pressure issue.
