Hey hi hello there, pals! I'm Amanda. I make dice for ttrpgs. It's basically my full-time job now. You can buy them over at cinniharpyscrafts.etsy.com.

I also make other crafty things, including customizing furbys and dolls! I'll post about collecting too.

Please follow for updates on all that!
Spent all day cleaning bird cages, which really needed to get done since it didn't happen last week with all the Mango Madness.

Mango is mostly back to normal and back in the bird room! Though she is quite upset with her cage being rearranged. Too many new things in it at once I guess lol

I think Mango is annoyed and wants her space and big cage back... but I'm legit nervous about putting her back in tomorrow lmaoooo. I've been carrying her around everywhere in the hospital cage, including to the bedroom when we sleep. And she so was unwell and has been my constant companion, so I'm

This response on Tumblr brings up a good point that I hadn't fully thought about. Idk if I'm qualified to broach the potential topic of ableism... but yeah. I don't think disability should be an automatic death sentence for animals either. It would be different if I was told she was suffering, but I

Mango is definitely continuing to get better! She even said hello tonight! This is the first night my chest hasn't been tight since like Wednesday

Man apparently I'm just gonna have a big cry every night until Mango has meds and is (hopefully) on the mend
December 7, 2025 at 6:47 AM
Just had another call with the vet regarding one of the meds so I was able to ask questions.

Basically I need to chill the fuck out lmaooooo. It does suck that she won't get the meds until Tuesday/Wednesday but there's not much that can be done about that. They did NOT think she was in heart
December 6, 2025 at 7:15 PM
She made it through the night!
December 6, 2025 at 5:15 PM
She's really not doing well and my heart is breaking. I hope she can make it until the meds are in. I'm calling tomorrow to see if anything can be done in the meantime
December 6, 2025 at 5:04 AM
Definitely not out of the woods yet. Unfortunately her meds don't get here until Wednesday.

Plus an EKG can't even be setup until Monday, and I don't know how far out that appointment will be. She is going to be going to either Tufts or Cornell for that.

But first she has to make it through the

Not to keep going on the "woe is me" train but holy shit I have cried so much today. And I don't think I'm gonna get much sleep. I'm trying to keep it together because like... she's not gone yet. But I know this is gonna be such a hefty bill and she might not make it. Usually when birds get to this
December 5, 2025 at 7:30 AM
Idk how to explain to Queso where Mango is
December 5, 2025 at 6:36 AM
Please don't take my sun bird away
December 5, 2025 at 3:28 AM
Leaving now. She's gotta stay in oxygen overnight. After that, the specialist they have can do an exam and we can go from there.
December 5, 2025 at 2:28 AM
We've been here like 2 and a half hours 🙃
December 5, 2025 at 1:26 AM
There's a little girl with a turtle in here and she is so chatty and I feel bad but I am a wreck and cannot answer her questions 😭
December 5, 2025 at 12:20 AM
She started eating and using her foot!
December 5, 2025 at 12:17 AM
I haven't eaten all day. Drinking complimentary coffee in this waiting room and I guess that was a mistake. I got my eye on the trash can in case I gotta puke.
December 5, 2025 at 12:11 AM
Finally may it to the Connecticut vet. Dang this place is huge. It looks and feels like a human hospital. They took Mango back.
December 4, 2025 at 11:24 PM
Jesus christ there was an accident like right in front of us. We're fine. Everyone seems fine. But now everything has slowed teaffic wise. And Mango is more panicked. Ray had to slam on the breaks. This is the worst day. We still have an hour to go of the drive.
December 4, 2025 at 10:02 PM
Tbh I'm really not doing well

Unfortunately, Mango has declined further. She went to the vet again, but they still don't know what's wrong. She is still pretty young for a conure, being 15, and I want to try to save her. Please, if you're able to help out at all, my PayPal is [email protected] and my venmo is amandabl89

About to take a 3 hour drive to CT so I'll update on the way
December 4, 2025 at 7:23 PM
She is doing very poorly. They are trying to stabilize her. We may need to take her to a place in Connecticut. If so, I'll be doing some fundraising soon. They aren't sure what's wrong
December 4, 2025 at 6:53 PM
They took her back to be put on oxygen and stuff, put us in a room, and now we're waiting. Trying not to bawl my eyes out. It's so frustrating. I KNEW something was wrong, but they've never been able to find anything. Now it's progressed to this.
December 4, 2025 at 6:36 PM
Bringing Mango to the vet early. Something is really wrong. I will be honest and say I'm not sure she is going to make it.
