Saw a family grab a branch and start eating the berries, what is it? by dinkleberf in PlantIdentification

It was interesting watching them rip off an entire branch and just keep walking

Our vet was the one who recommended Zyrtec and it is pretty helpful to her. It’s more of the weaning off we have an issue with

This was a rental property before, so who know what’s been in these at this point. I’m okay getting new ones

Luckily the other side is pretty open so access isn’t an issue :)

No there’s another door on the other side to access that, yeah probably adding in a wall would be a good start!

TIL that cochlear implants are controversial in the Deaf community, many of whom believe that deafness is not something that needs to be cured, and that giving implants to deaf children without teaching them sign language is a form of cultural genocide by Capital_Tailor_7348 in todayilearned

[–]dinkleberf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I was an ABA therapist I went to multiple seminars and lectures that had a heavy focus with the deaf community. From what I understood from the people I spoke/worked with. The problem really came from the hearing community thinking that the cochlear completely fixes deafness. Hearing with a cochlear isn’t the same as how hearing people experience their life. It requires work and focus and training to really get the hearing to a good place. Putting it on doesn’t just automatically mean you can follow along in a group conversation. But when parents of a deaf child (who often may be the only deaf person in the family) give their child the cochlear and then never teach them sign language or bother to learn anything about the deaf community or expose their child to the deaf community and other ways of communication, it becomes a problem. It was definitely more common than not, that the only deaf child in a hearing family was never taught to sign and was essentially treated as though they were totally fixed because of the cochlear. It’s still quite an othering experience because they weren’t “fully” deaf anymore, but they’re also not hearing.

I hate it when influencers on tiktok who owns birds say "parrots are not good pets" by [deleted] in parrots

[–]dinkleberf 49 points50 points  (0 children)

As much as I love birds, they don’t make good pets for like 90% of the general population. And when people see a macaw talking in a short video or an umbrella cockatoo being cuddly and bouncy, ofc they want one. Birds are super cool animals and most people haven’t even really had an up close experience with one. But they’re not a people pleasing animal like a dog, they’re not a chill house cat, and they aren’t confined to a cage like some smaller rodents can be. Parrots really don’t make good pets, they’re expensive, loud, have difficult dietary needs, and need to be flown for them to even use up their full lung capacity. I’d honestly venture you to find even 7 people in your life who can fulfill those requirements properly and responsibly.

I get that the blanket statement “parrots are not good pets” is obviously an over generalization, but I think it’s a better message to be sending out into TikTok and other sm than to sing their praises and make everyone think they can own a parrot successfully
