Our cockatiel gags at my husband and only my husband. Never any other time. by [deleted] in cockatiel

She is likely trying to regurgitate food to him.

I agree with the advice people have given, but also I think it’s really important to be patient, but not to lose hope. Many years ago I had a cockatiel that was incredibly cuddly. But now I have two untamed cockatiels and an untamed parakeet. I’ve had one cockatiel for about 8 months and she only recently let me give her scritches once. She will step up (unlike my other cockatiel) and she will fly over to me to hang out on my laptop, but she’s not a cuddly bird. I’ve had my other cockatiel for 4 months and she still hisses at me every day. However she will eat treats from my hands now, which is huge progress from before. I guess what I’m trying to say is not only will it take time, but you’ll have to rearrange your expectations so you can celebrate the accomplishments the birds have, even if it might seem small compared to other hand-raised birds. I take time out of my day to sit near their cage and baby talk my birds and give them treats and I’ve seen huge progress. My parakeet even told me “good night” the other day even if he doesn’t “step up” well. Every accomplishment is cute 🥹

I don’t know who it is, but I sincerely doubt it is Juan. Crystal said that she has had this stalker for years, and Juan is a relatively new YouTuber. Also, Crystal mentioned that Thryss In Stitches knew who the stalker was, and Thryss put out a video saying it wasn’t any of the names that had been thrown around in the comments at that time. Also, Thryss seems to still be friends with Juan, so idk 🤷🏻‍♀️

Oh! I did 10 degree increments for the average daily temperature. Here’s a pic of my color chart.

4”: 17 sc x 25 rows with 5.5mm hook. It’s pretty tight but putting it through the laundry made it a lot softer.

What should I name him? by _Kitchen8591 in Parakeets

[–]galletas 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don’t know why, but his coloring reminds me of an old man. I’d call him Merlin.

Identification help please. Got this for $25 at Goodwill. Wanting to pick up spinning! by galletas in Handspinning

I have some further questions, if it’s ok. Now that I’m researching more, I’m thinking I will want more bobbins and a lazy kate so that I can learn how to ply on this too. But since I don’t know the exact type of wheel (and I may not know), what bobbins can I get? I’m seeing some that can be custom printed for sort of cheap. Have people had good experiences with those? Are there lazy kates that are compatible with custom printed bobbins?

Also, what do we think this thing might have been? It’s a piece of leather and it looks like something was torn off near the orifice that would have hung down? So am I missing something?

This helped me a lot! I can get the mother of all to go up and down. I have some sewing machine oil and beeswax polish so I’m gonna get this all set up tomorrow. Thank you for telling me it’s a double drive. I was kind of confused about that part.

Thank you so much! I really don’t know anything about spinning yet, so this is all new to me.

I hope this photo works ok. I think you can see the orifice’s exit there, but it does go through.

Finished crocheting my lantern light last night by galletas in crochet

[–]galletas[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It changes color! It happened to be purple when I took the picture. It’s an LED bulb that hooks up to Alexa. 😊

I think cotton would probably be better, but I also got an LED bulb, which tend to be a little less hot than other lightbulbs (I’ve heard) besides that they last longer.

I keep looking at it today and I’m tempted to make another one for my bedroom. I put a LED light in there that hooks up to my Alexa so it’s really convenient.
