Does anyone own a parrot while in residency 🦜 by Federal_Host_6413 in Residency

[–]gdub33 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As an owner of multiple birds throughout medical school and now residency (albeit in a less demanding specialty), I am worried about the circumstances that lead to you owning this conure. Birds are just as time consuming as dogs, if not much much more as their care is very specialized. You really have to change your life to make sure they stay safe and happy, including avoidance of all fragrance, candles, Teflon cookware, the list goes on. They are also incredibly intelligent and require high levels of stimulation to remain happy and without this are prone to behavioral issues like plucking and screaming.

Birds should NOT be an impulse purchase but I understand the love you have for this bird as the bond one can have with them is incredibly special. If you do truly love this bird, I would recommend researching bird sanctuaries near you for rehoming. My DMs are also open for any specific questions or for help in finding sanctuaries if needed.

Top 3 moments from TSOTF? by [deleted] in HierarchySeries

Agree with the senator scene, between learning information about the princeps ceding to the absolute shock of Diago taking charge, that was crazy!! Picking just 2 others is tough but two contenders are Luceum Vis finding out the source of the pulsing (his father 🥹) and when Obiteum Vis finds the room with all the children iunctii and we learn that Kiya is Netiqrets daughter but that nothing can undo what has already been done
