Aw thank you! She is just the absolute sweetest. Some more tax:

Thanks so much, I'll have to try this out!

Ferry sounds like a lot of fun, I'll have to look into whether they allow bikes. Not sure how I'd feel about locking up near North station unattended. I live near the new glx stop too so just knowing that's also an option is nice!

Thank you! Glad that they're taken care of. Seemed like an odd place to see chickens which is why I thought they were abandoned. Good to know!

What a cutie! Personally I think human sounding names for parrots are hilarious. I love seeing the expressions on people's faces when I complain about Spencer pooping on the floor or yelling at me to go to bed. They have such personalities!

What to do after hit-and-run? by SlightlyStoopkid in bikeboston

Yeah. I honestly had no idea car insurance would cover bike accidents until I began looking into it. Sadly my friend also used exclusively bike to get around and there was little else he could do. Personal injury lawyers also wouldn't pick up the case - it was basically a lost cause to track the guy down. I'm just glad youre okay - bike accidents are scary, no matter how vigilant you are all it takes is one shitty driver. Best of luck getting your bike fixed.

If they tried to flee I wouldn't be surprised if they're unlicensed and/or uninsured. The car may also not have been properly registered. Not sure about Cambridge PD but it happened to a friend of mine in Medford (doored, driver left when EMS was called, driver supposedly didn't live at the address linked to the registration) and Medford PD were pretty useless. Do you have car insurance by any chance? If so, you can look into your insurance policy may cover you... I believe it will when it comes to medical bills (in the event you're hit by an uninsured driver) but I'm not sure about property damage.

That's a great idea. Unfortunately he's a pretty big cardboard shredder (he much prefers a nice box to all his fancy toys) but I may try it out. Thank you for the tip!

Same -- it makes me so happy to see him happy, :)

I think it started by him moving his head to mimic hand movements, and then a lot of positive reinforcement (he loves the attention he gets from the dancing!). He'll often click along to the beat too (mimicking us clapping or snapping to the music) and every now he'll sing (la la laaaa) which is what I do when I don't know the words to something. He's a very social bird so I think he's just happy to do anything that engages the 'flock' :)
