For the past week whenever I've been doing our bedtime routine with the tiny human, Gunter gets very lonely and wants to know where I am (and so of course, screams for me until I show up). Obviously, this does not set the mood for anyone to go to sleep. Solution: Gunter is now part of the bed time ritual. Bath time? Gunter is hanging out on the shower rod watching. Story time? Gunter is on my head wondering why the bird alphabet book we have has "parakeet" but not cockatiel. Nursing before sleep? Gunter is marching around the bed checking for monsters.

Glad I have such a good co-parront.

i’ve been listening to mitski’s “old friend” on repeat chorus comes on, “baby at blue diner...” and suddenly i hear bolin “baby! hi baby!”

my husband just took all the birds with him in the shower he finishes and brings them out, gunter immediately walks over and i pick him up my husband looks at us and whispers: “smell him”

my husband is currently cupping bolin in both his hands a telling him that he’s definitely worth more than two birds in a bush

*takes a break from writing dissertation proposal to let the birds out and point at each of them and say WOW multiple times*

how the birds respond when you call each of their names: gunter - delightful peep and head bob bolin - two clicks and a head tilt franky - angry squawk and aggressive nod

bolin is trimming my husband’s beard he’s talking to him and making other cute noises and using his beak to clip off little pieces i’ll make sure to leave him a good tip for his hard work
