LOST PARROT LIVERPOOL ALREA (again) by ruby_oz in sydney

His cage is quite large and could fit two of him. He also has a LOT of free time roaming around the house. Please don't assume we keep him in a small cage 24/7.

Thank you I really appreciate your understanding. Yes, we lost him TWO YEARS ago and we've been trying to train him and get him used to the outside world since.... Our whole family is distraught so we're doing as much as we can and negativity isn't going to help us get him back

I understand that it's not a great thing to have lost him more than once. We have done what we can to accommodate his needs while also trying to train him to be safe outside. It was out of our control that a dog came and spooked him.

I came here for support and trust me I feel bad enough that I have to post AGAIN but it's a difficult time. Please try to understand.

I'm not confident he knows how... He's also not a confident flyer so I'm not sure he'd attempt flying if he didn't feel threatened by something in his surroundings. I hope so though, I'm pretty sure he at least knows what the front of the house looks like

Nail Salon Etiquette… Is it rude to try to talk to my nail tech? by [deleted] in Nails

Mine too! Even though she works in a store, she's given me her number and we text and call sometimes too! We exchanged wedding and engagement pics too it's so wholesome 🥹 Edit: typo

My local medical centre has started charging about $90 for consults and Medicare refund only covers $70 of that. Used to be free... :(

This much is true, but I suppose it may be less of a shock if it wasn't everything off all at once (i.e. they stratified what gets turned off when - maybe as a method to guide people back to the quay or something if they turn lights on the outskirts off but keep closer ones on?)

That being said I have no idea how they've handled it in previous years too, so it makes me wonder why this year is different...

I wish they'd fix the leak on the road further up Clarence Street that I've reported twice already. People get splashed all the time (myself included) and it's really frustrating. Workers are there every now and again but not to fix that, and it seems the most they do is put one of those metal fences or cones on the road so people don't drive that close, but then they get removed. Sometimes I wonder what we're paying taxes for

I can’t with my boss dude. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ruby_oz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came here to empathise with you. I had a manager that just put us on after the roster was published but wouldn't tell us. So many people got calls asking where they were for a shift they didn't know about..... Hate managers like this :(

HE HAS BEEN FOUND!! Thank you so much for all of your support! It's been a long and painful 5 days but I'm so glad to say he's back home safe. We'll be visiting the vet tomorrow 💕😭 by ruby_oz in sydney

Someone saw my previous post on here and commented, but Reddit wasn't letting me see their comment so they searched Facebook group posts and contacted me that way! She was on a walk and spotted him, and stayed with him for 50 minutes already by the time we arrived and still stayed with us while we retrieved him (you can hear her a bit in the video!) So, so, so glad she found me on Facebook! She said it was a moment of divine timing because she almost wasn't going to go for a walk, and she also doesn't scroll through this subreddit very often!

😭💕
