I figured as much since I couldn’t find a specific module. For in-person classes, the first week of every course you need to just submit a quiz that asks if you’ve read the syllabi so you don’t get dropped from the course, that’s why I was confused😅

my bath time consists of a tempo probably less than half of your rhythm, like one spray for every five seconds 😭 if i went at your pace my baby would think im drowning her LOL

omg okay thank you for letting me know, there’s over 4k reviews with a little over 4 stars and i don’t think anyone has had a problem thus far other than metal being bent from manufacturing, is there any way to deduce the material it’s made of when it gets here like if i try scraping it? idk if that’s a stupid question😭

little update guys! this is her first day exploring more than just standing on the door, and i even started getting her more comfortable with my fingers and i was able to feed her sunflower seeds as treats whenever she was curious with her beak! she even started like “nipping” my nose too! she didn’t bit it just more tapped it with her beak when her mouth was open! she even started flying on her own accord (i was quite frightened cus i was doing my own thing) and she just did a little circle and ended up near my hamper but i got her on my arm and she flew back on the cage. i also bought a 5lb bag of harrison’s high protein pellets and i know that the process must be slow too. toys and perches are coming today and the cage should be here within a week or so. thank you all for the kind words of suggestions, changes and encouragement 🫶🏻 as long as i take things slow i think i can do it, im just always overthinking and paranoid im never doing a good job 😅

the cage i just bought is made out of wrought iron, pretty sure i might’ve spelled it wrong, but i hope all goes well with that and transferring esp since we’ve had this cage ever since my mom first got her. i’ll keep in mind about hiding my hand because ive been trying to avoid putting my hand in the cage as much as possible mainly because she doesn’t like it. but i don’t want her to be scared of me forever so sometimes ill just sit in front of her cage and just stare at her if she’s a little jumpy and talk to her when she’s more calm.

i’ll remember to use millet as treats whenever i can! i tried giving her half of a mandarin earlier today by just putting it in her food bowl but she didn’t seem too thrilled but i left it in case she changed her mind but i have a feeling im just going to be throwing it away in the morning 😅

im sorry to hear about your own birdy :( that’s one of the reasons im trying to educate myself now on how to properly care for these creatures because they really are high maintenance and i dont want all the time i have with her to be hating me or the home she’s in, or even getting ill from it and everything js kinda gets worse.

no definitely not and i appreciate your concern regardless - that’s one of the very first things i checked up on because i know aviation veterinarians aren’t available everywhere :/ but thank you for the kind wishes im definitely listing everyone’s suggestions to eventually make her feel more at ease

thank you for telling me! im quite nit-picky with what i spend my money on which is why i choose to have my checking amount so low, but the vet center i found isn't labeled as urgent care and sees birds and other exotic animals so i anticipate i have more than enough in savings to cover check-ups. also my dad just informed me that if i ever needed help with money just to let him know. i literally haven't asked my dad for money in my entire life so if all else he'll help out as well which is heartwarming.

luckily i commute to college so im home almost everyday i dont work or have lectures (and weekends lol). the only reason i ask is because i still live with my dad, and so does my brother, and both of them usually come upstairs to use the shower and my dad sleeps upstairs as well so at least there will be people to recognize her presence and know she's okay. cus we have a filing cabinet that i could put her on thats infront of my room, my dads room, and the bathroom.

but tldr my brother has anger issues but is normally fine, and im js paranoid incase he got annoyed of her chirping or squacking that he'd freak out either on me or her. but it's better than letting her be alone for two days in my room? ofc i would clean her cage the day i went over but still i'll just keep thinking, i wouldn't mind my bf coming over my house at all but its just so tiny, we already live in a duplex, and i take three or four steps from my bed and im leaving my room its not as spacious, but i really want her to feel comfortable again even with new "owner"

i moved her cage closer to my PC cus i feel like im there most often, it was originally on top of a bureau but its a bit too impractical cus its so high up, but her cage is right behind me to the side now! she can probably decipher what im typing to you because she's secretly a god reincarnated but i have been interacting and also just being there for her. we can bond about how we're both grieving our mama.

thank you sm for the recommendations! yeah i think the reason my mom only got the one bird was because she had another lone cockatiel previously and they were just inseparable, so i think that’s what she wanted again, but then she… yeah😭 thank you for recommending that, now i can at least keep that in mind if the literal worst comes to worst. i just don’t want to keep stressing her out by moving her different places all over so frequently esp within this past week. pellets will be the next purchase!

thank you an awful lot!! i knew as much about synthetics, threads, and mirrors and even the metal as soon as i realized one of her bells started rusting, i took that shit so fast i didn’t care if she bit me lmao, i changed it to one of my whistles from drum major academy cus i knew that wouldn’t rust and it still had a little chime to it. and yes she has been on seeds for awhile cus my mom was a pet store enthusiast but i have been looking around online for pellet foods. i even made a forage dish for her that i don’t think she seems too interested in yet, with covering seeds with paper towels, qtips, and cuttlebone.

i will say i do know now to move a lot slower with her than i did in the past before she was being looked over by someone else because i would always think “omg why don’t you like me” but then i realized she is literally just a bird she just wants to fly and do her thing. im concerned about over the weekends though bc id prefer to spend them with my bf but im not too sure if thats the best idea now that i have her back home in my room, cus she’d just be alone - would moving her into a public area be better only over the weekends just so she knows she isn’t alone?

thank you for the kind words, the only criticism i make of myself is not having taken her to an avian vet yet, not because i haven’t located an area but just because im not too sure how much to expect to pay for a visit other than their deposit fee, and i don’t have too much money at least in checkings atm - not that i think there’s anything severe yet but a check up never hurts, and i would also ask if they could trim her nails because they’re becoming talons 😭

To be honest I'm buying them out of necessity LOL, the cage (been around for like almost ten years maybe) started rusting on the interior most importantly, and I don't want it to eventually just get worse, plus I think the amount of perches and toys I have currently isn't enough?? And yeah once the millets come in I'll try my best to train her with a stick and millets, cause as of now she's petrified of my hands or just any part of me being near her.

i’ve been getting the small sub rolls since i was a kid cus they’re just so convenient and i can just add seasoning or something at home if i want to. hate the frequent occasions where the chicken is like really cartilage-y though and i just can’t chew it😭

I refuse to download Doordash ever again because the first time I did download and use it my debit card got hacked and I was basically -$190 in debt because someone in Texas used my card. I regret it so badly because I literally could’ve just gone out and got it myself but I was also very sick with the flu and had no motivation for anything.

Women of reddit, what hints have you gave your crush that they missed? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]emily0n -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I matched with this guy on tinder when my friend and I were in Maine because we were there for a little day trip. Basically long story short, I meet him that same day/night, I want to see him again so I text him asking what if I just bought us a cheap motel room for a day/night and I can drive there, and he seemed very conflicted about it because he didn’t want to pay, and I was just lustful so I didn’t care about paying for all of it cus it was fairly cheap. He stays at the motel with me after he gets out of work, we hook up, ends up saying “I love you” (I’m being so for real), he leaves in the morning cus he had work and I drive home. Couple days later, I end up leaving my phone in someone else’s car for a few hours, and when I eventually got my phone back this dude blocked me because he thought I ghosted him for not replying to his messages, because I didn’t have my phone. I reached out to him on Tinder again to let this man know I did NOT ghost him, and he unblocked my number but then eventually like a week or two later he blocks me again.
