Part Bird, Part Sea Otter

Was digging through photos from earlier last year, and I present to you: A Story in Three Parts ft @jeska-warrior-princess and her delightful face courtesy of my delightful hands.

I’m not sure. Hey lovely people who have taken me over half way to a cool million! If you’d like to reblog again, I’d love that, if not, I still love you, and hope you’re having a great day. I’m gonna go do some stand up tonight.

Got my ass blocked, lol. Worth it. I fucking hate whiny people who can’t take criticism when something as important as health and safety is involved. Her victim complex is A++, too.

Context: every time someone commented with advice, she asked to ensure that the method would COMPLETELY take away the ability to fly, not even gliding.

Evidently Bonita was in a much better mood today, y'all. She stepped up with NO bites! Scrumbled at me cheerfully while we hung out together around the shop! I love that bird.

Hey bird people (New World species especially), want to help save wild birds and help preserve Indigenous culture? Donate your feathers!

Feathers for Native Americans is a group that distributes feathers dropped from captive birds to Indigenous peoples in North, Central, and South America. This not only helps people preserve their cultures, it saves wild birds like macaws and Amazon parrots from being poached and plucked in the illegal feather trade. These poached feathers are also often expensive, whereas feathers distributed through this group are free. As spring molts swing in, please consider collecting your babies feathers and donating.

More information like how to donate and what species are accepted (more than just parrots!) can be found at their website:

http://www.feathersfornativeamericans.com/

They also have a Facebook:

https://m.facebook.com/FeathersForNativeAmericans/

Please spread this info wherever you can, to other bird families, avian supply stores, avian vets and rescues!

TODAY WAS THE DAY!!! Put down Bonita's adoption fee! She's OFFICIALLY, LEGALLY part of the family now! She reacted to the news by GNAWING on me >_> no step-ups, just bites. That's fine. Gave her a treat and some "I love you"'s on my way out. She squawked back. Can't WAIT until June!

Bonita Uodate: Went in today and she was resistant and grumpy. That's fine, left her and wandered around. She was more engaging when I came back but VERY bitey when I asked her to step up and got me good four or five times. No blood but some bruising. At the advice of their groomer last week I kept up my no-nonsense stance and didn't react to the bites or back down, and she eventually stepped up. Once up, she seemed fine and started up what I call "scrumbling", a sort of stream of scrambled humanesque mumbling. Just a continuous section of conversation-volume vocalizations. I asked the owner what that typically indicated and she said "well... that's a new thing. she hasn't done it before." All of this was interspersed with short tail wags/fanning and neck/head fluffing. I aaaaalmost got her to let me "tickle, tickle!" her neck feathers, got my finger on her, but she changed her mind. Progress I think! Lol but I went to leave 20 minutes after setting her down and stopped by her cage to say bye to her she opened her beak all the way and screamed in my face. Okay then. You've had enough excitement. I get it.
