that

2016-07-04 15:46:47 UTC  

Though pretty tight on my small man body

2016-07-04 15:46:47 UTC  

he's also 12

2016-07-04 15:46:53 UTC  

Kk I figured

2016-07-04 15:46:54 UTC  

yes

2016-07-04 15:47:37 UTC  

Sharks were useful

2016-07-04 15:47:49 UTC  

@Phatique don't think about getting birbs unless you have an avian vet nearby and also willing to buy a big cage

2016-07-04 15:48:00 UTC  

not a circular one either, those give them mental health issues

2016-07-04 15:48:32 UTC  

Why do you know much about birds?

2016-07-04 15:48:37 UTC  

I own two

also @Phatique they need at LEAST two hours of time out of the cage and time spent socialising with you

2016-07-04 15:50:48 UTC  

so not you ignoring them

2016-07-04 15:50:54 UTC  

you interacting with them

2016-07-04 15:51:15 UTC  

socialising is very important to them a lot like dogs

2016-07-04 15:52:15 UTC  

our first bird Archie turned on her past owner because she got a new full time job and didn't bother interactng anymore

2016-07-04 15:52:33 UTC  

so Archie held a grudge and pecked the fuck out of her

2016-07-04 15:52:50 UTC  

we bring the bird in and she got a fresh start, very sweet and loving

2016-07-04 15:53:25 UTC  

so yeah, they look to you for companionship and they'll get depressed and angry if you're not there for them

2016-07-04 15:55:23 UTC  

I love birds, I'll totally be their bffs for 2 hours

2016-07-04 15:55:29 UTC  

A day

2016-07-04 15:55:31 UTC  

Or more

2016-07-04 15:55:35 UTC  

the more the better

2016-07-04 15:55:39 UTC  

look for hand reared birds

2016-07-04 15:55:52 UTC  

birds that are fed by humans and not other birds from birth naturally love humans

2016-07-04 15:55:56 UTC  

pet shop birds tend to be feral

2016-07-04 15:56:02 UTC  

one of ours is hand reared ,the other is wild raised

2016-07-04 15:56:08 UTC  

they're completely different

2016-07-04 15:56:22 UTC  

one loves humans and wants to be around them, the other is cautious and scared all the time

2016-07-04 15:57:00 UTC  

if all they've known is their bird parents then they'll never trust humans, it's pretty much like catching a seagull and bringing it into the house

2016-07-04 15:57:31 UTC  

hand reared are more expensive but they'll be inclined to want to be around you, which is nice

2016-07-04 15:57:41 UTC  

land on your shoulder and cuddle up etc

2016-07-04 15:58:39 UTC  

sorry, I like birds a lot, pretty knowledgable about them

2016-07-04 15:59:17 UTC  

ALSO both of ours were sold to us as boys but turned out to be girls, they do that because boys sing and learn songs to impress tha bitches

2016-07-04 15:59:25 UTC  

ask for a dna test proving the bird is male

2016-07-04 15:59:30 UTC  

males are calmer and more chill

2016-07-04 15:59:42 UTC  

our females fight all day long over non-existent male birds

2016-07-04 15:59:57 UTC  

female birds are territorial and have an attitude

2016-07-04 16:00:08 UTC  

kind of like female humans :^)

2016-07-04 16:00:40 UTC  

two male birds will bro out and be friends for life, females see each other as competition and beat the shit out of each other
