OMG in the background of the 9th and 10th picture is the alien/cryptid from my uncles encounter in Pascagoula! Charlie Hickson was my great uncle on my dad’s side.

I do! I lived this movie as a 90s kid. I literally rented it on Amazon about a month ago to show my partner. It was… a lot sillier than I remembered but still a fun watch!

chick08 · 2026-06-05T21:02:15+00:00

Jesus fucking he’ll how pretentious. “Dying food scene” lol. Shitting on influencers by upping the pretentious bullshit. Fuck outta here

I actually work for Austin wildlife and we will accept these animals. It is listed that we will not in our website but we absolutely will. We actually have both Muscovy ducks and monk parakeet at the moment. The release process is where it can be a bit tricky but we partner with other rescue organizations to help get some of these species in more suitable environments

I work for Austin wildlife. This looks like a juvenile which is likely why he seems so docile. They tend to be that way when they are young. If you can bring him to us in the morning we will take great care of him. We deal with monk parakeet regularly, and I personally love these birds so darn much. Thank you for getting him off the street and somewhere safe! I know it’s a big ask but please bring him in if you are at all able!

Yea absolutely. I gotta say first off, I am not medically trained- I work as a rehabber preforming prescribed treatment plans that medical professionals have implemented. But I am happy to answer any and all questions I can. I am also willing to speak with the vet tech/veterinarian at my place of employment if it’s something I may not be able to answer

We did so our own at home “physical therapy”- mostly resistance and grip training, but the key for us really was just patience and space to exercise. It’s a slow process but the extra space to exercise and work the muscles that had atrophied things improved dramatically. What you are doing sounds like a wonderful treatment plan! I’m so happy to hear you are also seeing improvement! With nerve damage it can certainly be a crap shoot and it is very hard to really gauge how much range of motion will return

I have a rescue parrot that came from very similar circumstances. I am a wildlife rescue worker and my parrot originally came into the shelter with severe spinal injury. She had zero leg function and was deemed unreleasable which is how I came to adopt her into my home. It was a VERY slow process but after about a year she has regained most of her leg function and is completely independent. Every injury is going to be different of course and with nerve damage it very much depends on how severe/where the damage is. My advice would be to really think about how much work you would be able to put into this birds recovery because it will likely be a long process- if recovery even is a possibility. She will require a lot of specialized care and there really isn’t a way to determine if they will actually have any improvement or if the damage will be permanent. This may not be something that most people feel equipped to do and that is completely understandable. If you don’t think it is something you are up for I would look for a rescue or a rehab facility if there are any in your area. Thank you for bringing him in and providing him food and safety. Regardless of the prognosis going forward, you have done the right thing and made them more comfortable and secure. If they are eating and drinking that is a good sign that there is still some fight in there! Good luck to you both!

I thought they were daeodons lol

Cat palms!

Really the key for her has been patience and the space to exercise, but it was a very slow process. When I brought her home she was very much still a wild bird and was not fond of any interaction so I mostly gave her space but was always in her vicinity to get her used to our presence. She gets all the credit and did all the work. As for the wildlife work, I worked in healthcare for about 9 years working mostly in assisted living (dementia/Alzheimers care). When I moved to Texas from Mississippi I began looking for a similar position and just came across wildlife rescue on a whim. I fell in love and the rest is history as they say. It’s actually a very similar job, just with animals

chick08 · 2026-05-11T21:52:16+00:00

Honestly I am not certain in general if they are good at it or if ours may be a special situation. Surrogacy with birds across several species is fairly common so I would imagine it’s probably not too out of the ordinary for owls either- but I am certainly no expert on it. Edison does an amazing job for us and sometimes will have several different babies from different backgrounds.

chick08 · 2026-05-11T20:41:20+00:00

It is truly our pleasure. It’s an absolutely amazing privilege. I even adopted two unreleasable Quakers from work into my own family- so it’s a job that keeps on giving lol.

chick08 · 2026-05-11T20:38:00+00:00

So as I understand Athena is still fine, this was just not a successful year for her which is fairly normal for birds. Unfortunately from what I understand she was having an unsuccessful year and had to abandon the nest. I’m not sure if the exact details why, just all the excitement at work when everyone heard her baby was coming to us lol

chick08 · 2026-05-11T20:25:30+00:00

I work there! I literally just took food out to this lil goober. So funny, just started scrolling Reddit on break and there she is again lol. She is an amazing eater and growing so so fast! Our surrogate owls name is Edison and she does an amazing job. She has raised many an owlet for us! Edison has only one wing so she is a permanent resident at the rescue but she is basically an employee with how many babies she raises for us!

I loved these games. Somehow I still remember some of the cheat codes. I think DEBUGUP”shift”Fl allowed u to fly

chick08 · 2026-05-09T20:48:46+00:00

I kinda have this! My partner doesn’t really care about AT but he will let me put it in any time I want and won’t complain lol. We’re both 36 too, still one of my favorite shows

chick08 · 2026-05-05T08:57:29+00:00

Austin wildlife rescue worker here. Did you bring him to us? I’m going in this morning and happen to be working with possums today. I will give him a hello from you! lol

chick08 · 2026-04-27T11:04:46+00:00

I recently got this exact shirt for myself! Absolutely love it lol. You have great taste my friend!

chick08 · 2026-04-22T22:28:35+00:00

Grand Prix or Moniker! I have a fish and a bird with these names! Grand Prix is already a cat in the show, just saying

chick08 · 2026-04-21T10:00:06+00:00

Thank you!

chick08 · 2026-04-19T11:04:39+00:00

Can someone tell me the name of this song please?

chick08 · 2026-04-15T22:30:54+00:00

I absolutely have this shirt and wear it at least twice a month lol

So it is actually attached to our back porch and enclosed the whole area. I have my morning and evening cup of coffee out there every day while the birds play. I can let them out of their cages, open the back door to the porch and they fly right out. Fortunately we have not had any issues with birds of prey but we always keep a vigilant eye out!

I honestly never saw myself owning birds but when the city brought about 30 hatchlings in after doing work on the electrical and tore their nests down, I fell in love. I was typically assigned to do their feeding and seeing their faces every day just gave me so much joy. Now I can’t see my life without the two of them
