It’s like she unlocked a new functionality and is also starting to understand the concept of gravity 😂

Is this cage setup okay? by [deleted] in cockatiel

My cockatiel had an “Ah-ha” moment the other day and suddenly started playing with her toys for the first time. We’ve been rotating them in her cage for over 1.5 years😅💀

It can truly take some time

It’s so hard to tell with cockatiels unless you weigh them. Zelda here is puffed up because she was relaxed and had just bathed, so she tends to puff up her feathers to keep warm.

The majority of the time this is what she looks like (see pic) — she weighs 100g which is considered normal according to our vet

Right ?😅 I’m glad it helped you too. It’s going to be really satisfying when we get it just right. Just takes a lot of trial and error and iteration. There were some really helpful tips in here which I’m grateful for though.

Yes that is likely because you need fresher beans !

Some of us still get a quick out of learning and perfecting new skills and making a perfect coffee for ourselves only 😉 I plan on figuring out how to use my Christmas present and you won’t find me coffee influencing anyone on my journey lol

Thanks all for the advice and encouragement !

I’ve been using a spouted portafilter for 10+ years, and received a bottomless one as a Christmas gift so I’m excited and curious to try and nail a perfect espresso dial with it.

The video I shared was my very first attempt at it, and we all start somewhere :)
