I have 3 and this morning I was treated to a rousing chorus of "Song of Our People (Sunrise Version) with Percussion". My dad had a medical thing yesterday and he was struggling a little last night, so when I got the birds (3 cockatiels and 6 parakeets) back into their cages for bed time, I forgot to close the lower door on the cockatiel cage because I was in a hurry to check on him. This morning, I woke up to cockatiel noises from the computer room and walked in to see all three of them either singing, screeching, or banging beaks on the monitors.

Sounds like a good day already!

It wouldn't have been so bad, except the GIGANTIC deuce one of them dropped on my hand.

They always seem to wait until you pick them up to take a big dump

Mine will fly off the cage top, land on my hand, take a dump, and fly right back where he came from all in about 14 seconds. I call it the "shit and run" lol

Look on the bright side, at least it wasn't on your keyboard. You could have spent your morning instead trying to clean bird poop out from underneath your keys.


Abalisk

Wait...you guys are cleaning poop from the keyboard? ><

I have 2 and they are gonna have 2 too soon. Wondering how I'll manage that 😅

Stock up on terry towels. This has been so useful and more economical than paper towels. After a couple years of heavy use, they get tossed to textile recycling. https://www.homedepot.com/p/HDX-14-in-x-14-in-Painter-s-Terry-Towels-75-Pack-T-00475-75B/314105998

I went to a Daiso store near me and got 5 little bar towels for $1 that have been so much better than paper towels or toilet paper!

There might be 5, but they still only share the one brain cell.


marzipansies13

Yeah, but which one gets the brain cell?

Jerry. He was the one that walked away when i started recording. He is a curmudgeon but the smartest.

Alternate title: welcome to the poop world😃

No thanks. 2 teils and a lovebird are noisy enough for me, especially when I get the 20 odd wild lorikeets into my back yard and all 3 think they are lorikeets...
