10/10. This is exactly what happens and Simon knows it

Bea: I’ve been called prickly, but this is really something else.
November 8, 2025 at 12:40 PM
Classic, I like it
November 8, 2025 at 12:37 PM
Exactly.. so then the next plan has to be buying enough snacks that they’ll last me from the trip home
from the store until the intended snack time
November 8, 2025 at 12:36 PM
..is this the bird equivalent of singing in the shower?

Who needs a sharp beak when you’re big fat bully.

Butcher birds on the other hand..

😂 of course, straight from the bird defender’s mouth.

🤣🤣
Sometimes the cacti look like they’re about to talk back.. but then they morph into bea’s face and Ava’s brain breaks at that point
November 8, 2025 at 12:30 PM
You’d think they would’ve come up with a new trick by now. But they leave that to the cockatoos
November 8, 2025 at 12:28 PM
Oh no… my rescue bird made the thud noise so many times once it had been unstuck from its window jail. Nothing worse than hearing that..
November 8, 2025 at 12:27 PM
Sort of like me when I know I’ve bought some food snacks but shouldn’t be eating them… the snacker always finds its way to the snackee wherever it’s hiding

Poor Tama…

I saw a kingfisher in the wild for the first time a few weeks ago while walking with another halobearer. They’re surprisingly small, compared to kookaburras who are kind of chonkers
November 8, 2025 at 12:24 PM
Ohh I need to explain why I’m cleaning! It because there were some concerns about transmitting avian flu or beak and feather disease off the rescue bird. We have so many wild parrots that beak and feather disease is quite prevalent

Ava returns with few weird behaviours:
- ability to summon hats (the burning sun had to be suffered somehow)
- ability to bend water (walking through the desert is thirsty work)
- ability to talk to cacti (you go nutty with only yourself for company)

So many bird noises in the background here! I was confused for a second because I thought the galahs were making plover noises.

For ilenia’s info, once galahs are finished with their normal behaviour quota, this is what they do next
November 8, 2025 at 12:10 PM
Knowing cockatoos, it would’ve done it for the reaction! No breaking that vicious cycle except by removing the positive reinforcement (shocked/laughing zoogoers!)

Either that or the zookeepers thought they’d keep all the fun for themselves
November 8, 2025 at 12:04 PM
Ahh that is a good idea to keep the blinds drawn! Innocent or not, I don’t wish them to be concussed or worse
November 8, 2025 at 11:59 AM
Heheheh.. Anything a human can do, a cockatoo can do better. Including chillaxing with a view

I went somewhere recently where they had out bricks on top of the wheelie garbage bins, presumably to stop the cockatoos from raiding them
November 8, 2025 at 11:58 AM
Even the ceiling.
November 8, 2025 at 11:55 AM
Also… I know I said they’re indefensible but I might plea this bird’s case
November 8, 2025 at 10:37 AM
Alas… yes.

This morning I woke up to bird flying in the bathroom AND birds on the balcony requesting to be fed.

….AND my actual birds waiting to be let out to poop
*wipes brow* it’s hard work being a bird servant
November 8, 2025 at 10:37 AM
This is very accurate. I would never defend a bird, they are indefensible most of the time 😂. But I will try to rescue them
November 8, 2025 at 10:05 AM
Could be doing both at the same time!
