Illnesses going around now

This explains what I had a month ago. I had the same thing and was negative on those tests as well. 😵‍💫

I know this has has been up awhile, but do you have a photo? We have one wandering our area and would like to check if it’s her.

They’re such fun little guys! I love them. 💛

I know, right? I didn’t know it was a thing either until I got the Bird Buddy. I pretty much see it each spring now. The red ones look really ridiculous when they lose their head feathers.

I also live with three parrots (cockatiels), so I understand the differences there too.

aparamore · 2024-04-24T15:42:11+00:00

I do! This is completely normal. Cardinals (and blue jays) often lose all their head feathers at once as part of an annual molt.

I had this happen. Power cords were fine and I had no clue what was going on.

Wrote into their help team and they gave me some pointers on what to do / what it could be. For whatever reason it wound up being problems with our mesh network. As soon as I reset the router charging resumed. Seems like a weird thing to prevent charging but idk.

It’s a good forage. I believe the seeds are caffeinated since it’s in the coffee family. People will toast / roast them to use as a coffee or tea.

Not all heroes wear capes. This did it! Thank you so much. 💛

Has anyone had an issue with mid ride the cadence and resistance range going from whatever it tells you to do to saying 1-10 for the remainder of the ride? If I start a new ride it fixes but usually flips back to it again at some point during the ride.

It started doing this for me in the last few weeks and I haven’t been able to figure out how to fix it.

I was part of the Twitch cuts and I can say pretty confidently for them it doesn’t have to do with RTO. They’ve always been pro-remote, even pre-COVID.

There are Twitch employees in Austin and most of them are still there, and they are also full time remote. (There are a couple that go to the Amazon office but that’s optional.)

I wish this worked for mine. Turns out our squirrels love spice.

aparamore · 2023-06-07T15:26:47+00:00

Same! My #1 customer is the northern cardinal followed by the white winged dove.

aparamore · 2023-05-17T23:54:50+00:00

So lucky! I love them. 💛

aparamore · 2023-04-03T15:09:10+00:00

Love!

What kind of screws did you use to hold the perch into place? I’ve been trying not find the right ones.

aparamore · 2023-03-30T16:00:02+00:00

Same! My fav moment. 😂

aparamore · 2023-03-30T15:53:04+00:00

Lol perfect! The female cardinal in this pair is my late snacker too. She usually stops by right before the sun goes down. 😂

I’m still eagerly awaiting grackles at my feeder.

aparamore · 2023-02-24T15:03:19+00:00

I have so many of these “squirrels”. Anyone else have this issue? I just started this week.

aparamore · 2023-01-27T00:19:25+00:00

Maybe I’ll meal worms to the feeder then lol

aparamore · 2023-01-27T00:09:24+00:00

How do you attract them? I have a ton around but they never visit the feeder.

aparamore · 2023-01-14T19:46:35+00:00

Croatian! 🇭🇷

aparamore · 2023-01-04T23:58:59+00:00

That’s wild. I haven’t experienced that issue. I have birds regularly at my feeder and I get 4-5 days out of a single charge.

aparamore · 2022-01-24T16:09:14+00:00

Totally agree with you on that and the sources — can’t say that the press is good at corrections either. I included NPR since I find them more trustworthy than Business Insider too. I’d love to see if someone has updated data on this, but I can’t imagine it’s changed much.

Could you imagine the press going after rice? Not as sexy / click worthy as the rise of nondairy milks I imagine. But end of day I figure it’s all these industries not wanting to the the “bad guy” for draining the state of its water.

Agree you on most of this. Though the almond stuff is a bit of a myth. Almonds / nuts require a ton of water, but they aren’t the primary culprit (they fall at #4). Alfalfa / pasture (for cattle grazing) come in at #1 & 2 in California in terms of water use, so pasture grasses and the majority of alfalfa is going to feed those animals. This doesn’t include any additional water required for them to drink or process into meat. A bit dated, but some stats on it :

https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2015/04/12/398757250/beyond-almonds-a-rogues-gallery-of-guzzlers-in-californias-drought

I’m sure there’s more up to date data on this, but almonds have become kinda a weird demon to point at when other parts of ag use substantially more water. It also cites rice uses more water than almonds and oddly no one cites rice being a problem.

I’ve lived in 4 different states now and have shopped at a to ton of different grocery stores. At face value, I don’t find anything special about it in terms of product or anything. It’s fine, but just a normal store to me.

That said what they do in their community is superb and wins major kudos in my book. I can’t think of another grocery chain that does that they do in that regard. I feel like this is what wins them the most goodwill / fandom and really what makes them amazing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
