A handsome pied cockatiel sitting on a kleenex box on a shelf in front of some actual CDs. His name is CD, and he loves attention. - LOOKA THA CD!

Yeah :D Especially this sweet bird of mine, CD. I took a lot of time with him when we adopted him because he was a bit scared of humans, so I did this technique I call "I'm scareder of you," which encourages the bird to be the brave one encouraging me to interact. It worked. He's not scared.
A handsome pied cockatiel on a dinner plate eating chicken nuggets, with vegetables in the background. He is CD and he is not scared of humans. Humans have food.

"Yeah, my favorite dish at Thanksgiving IS the green bean casserole."
Copy of an idiotic tweet by a child rapist with dementia saying "SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!" Eminently mockable.

I mean, you're talking to someone who as a kid thought the best thing she could do to relate to strangers was imitate her pet budgie. :) I am doing better than that now. I SHOW pictures of my pet #budgie. Have you seen my pet budgie? :D
A lovely gold and green budgie all upsidowny hanging from his ladder. His name is McCoy and he is a very good budgie. I can't out-budgie him. I have tried. It doesn't work.

A handsome pet normal gray cockatiel with a fakeatiel friend, maybe painted by his loving HUMON. HIs name is Maui and he is the heart of our cockatiel flock. He's an old fella so CD, our younger cockatiel, has a hard time getting him to agree to play sometimes. A beautiful pied cockatiel looks curiously at the camera. This is CD, our younger cockatiel by at least ten years from our old fellas. He's ready to play at any time and doesn't understand his friend Maui may not have the energy he does. -- Playn CD will giv MAUI energee! YES! - good CD

CD the cockatiel has decided he's in this episode of Miss Marple. He's perched in front of the TV screen looking cute. -- CD nao a TV star ver ver imported! Good good good CD!
A beautiful pied cockatiel perches on an old laptop. This is CD the cockatiel before he became famous on TV. Well, in front of the TV. He thinks they're the same. He may be right.

Adult budgies too! He's only done this a couple of times, but we got good pictures so I'm going to share them. McCoy budgie all upsidowny and not upsidowny:
A yellow and green budgie with black stripes hangs cheerfully upside down from the top of his cage, his pink feet holding him up. This is McCoy budgie, and he is adorable. This is also McCoy budgie, a yellow and green budgie with black stripes and patches. Slightly different lighting, so he looks more golden in this pic, but it's still the same lovable purry boy from the picture at the left.

Maine also did good! Question 1 was voted down! #ME #MaineVotes #MaineValuesDemocracy
Background picture of a building with trees and a blue sky with clouds. A big red circle with yellow background says NO on Question 1, Protect Absentee Voting. Below the circle is a block of text saying BREAKING: MAINE VOTERS REJECT QUESTION 1, PROTECTING ABSENTEE VOTING. 40% of Mainers voted absentee in the last election. If passed, Question 1 would have made it harder for rural Mainers, people with disabilities, seniors, and others who vote by mail to cast their ballots. From FactPost.

DAMN IT

Now I have to go sit in the sun.

Ooo, sun.
A beautiful blue English budgie, very fluffy and wet, shaking himself vigorously. This is our long-gone but fondly remembered budgie Jimmy, who was wonderful. Good Jimmy. Thank you for lighting our lives.

Oh, neighbor, I am so damn sorry. Here's a picture of my cockatiel Maui. I don't see our rescue cockatiel VINNIE in this picture. It's too bad, he's very cute and likes hiding in cardboard boxes. Oh well. Maui is cute too. Better pictures for better days.
A very handsome gray cockatiel in the foreground, a blue velvety surface upon which sits a cardboard box. I would say there was a handsome pied cockatiel in the box and his name was VINNIE, but he is obviously too well hidden. No one can see a cockatiel in that box. No one. (At least, he thinks he is and we like to pretend with him that no one can see him. Play along?)

Happy #Challahween to all who celebrate! #HappyHalloween too!
A happy image, not unlike a pumpkin, with glowing eyes and a smile on what is obviously challah bread, perfect for Challahween or any other pastry-related holidays.

FYI, they're being evil again today and disobeying court orders.
A social media flyer image by Northwest Side Rapid Response detailing ICE illegal activities in Irving Park around 9:50 am CDT today. Released teargas, made detentions. Describes the Chevy Suburban and Chevy Tahoe they used as having AZ plates. Suburban is silver and had plate CFG5492. Last seen 10:05 am going W on Addison from Milwaukee. Urges reporting to ICIRR hotline if you know who was detained at 855-435-7693.

Finally home, about ready to have great pizza and watch The Fury, which I don't believe I've ever seen before. Grateful for my loving home full of good birds, like my budgie McCoy who's singing directly to me and purring at me. Nothing like being chosen for an original composition. :) #budgie
A cute little pet budgie, mostly yellow, with black stripes on his face and black spots on his wings, with a little green on his lower back, is looking into the camera curiously. He is McCoy, he's a rescue, and he rescued us from having a life without McCoy! He's singing for me right now, a nice composition I call "hey HUMON hey HUMON."

We showed up in our seasonally appropriate costumes. We love our neighbors, we love Halloween, we hate what the orange demon is doing to them, and we were ready to protect people if needed. We made people smile and feel good about being there. Come on down next time!
Two people dressed up as Pumpkinheads for Halloween and No Kings, with protest signs and a pumpkin wand courtesy of one of our loving neighbors, stand up for love and against cruelty and hate.

Hm. I have a pizza prize for him if I can find it. Let me see.
Pizza with peas and mayo; this one also seems to have tomato sauce under it. It is captioned "Why, God, Why??" and for good reason. There is no reason to put peas, which are not food, on pizza anyway. And mayo? Uh, no. Bad. Bad human. Bad.

That's why MAGATs are raging right now, complaining that we're old (?) and should just get jobs, because we reject them. Plus, it's Halloween season and we should get some joy in the midst of this crap. Tell me, can you guess my age or husbandguy's age just from our picture from yesterday? (no)
Two ridiculous people with pumpkins on their heads, dressed up for Halloween, at a No Kings protest with protest signs and a lovely pumpkin accessory wand from a neighbor of ours, standing up for their state and their neighbors.

Now I'm going to go back to continuing to encourage people to get involved in the NJ/VA elections and letting people know about their local elections coming up. There are elections in November AND December of this year! Let's do the work so fewer of our neighbors have to suffer.
Two incredibly silly people wearing craft pumpkins on their heads and dressed up are holding protest signs and a pumpkin wand a kind neighbor lent us for this picture at a local No Kings rally this past Saturday. Happy Halloween. We care about you guys.

Did you know #Illinois is a top pumpkin producing state, it's approaching Halloween, and it's #NoKings day and we're pissed off they're hurting our neighbors? I thought I'd let you know. #HappyHalloween #HandsOffIllinois #Constitution #NoKidnapping #NoTeargas #Peace #pumpkinheads
Two people dressed as Pumpkinheads, both with silly hats and festive costumes, holding signs mocking Donnie Dollhands and protesting his evil unConstitutional actions and a pumpkin-headed wand, standing up for and with their neighbors at a No Kings rally in Illinois today.

A handsome and goofy yellow and green budgie with black stripes and a gorgeous blue cheek patch hangs upsidowny, showing off his handsome and strong toes and legs. HIs name is McCoy and he agreed to live with us even before he discovered we had a budgie flock for him to sing to.

Two birds! CD the cockatiel discovered another bird! And he's almost as handsome as CD!
A handsome pied cockatiel sits in front of a mirror and looks happily back at his HUMON, who's being really goony and saying silly things like "Oh, you found him! You found mirror bird! And look, he's almost as handsome as you are!" Silly HUMON.

My parakeet hanging upsidowny. He doesn't do it habitually so I was lucky to catch him doing it at all. This is McCoy budgie (of course he's named for Hank McCoy). He purrs. Like all good budgies do. #bird #cute #adorable #UpsideDown #pet #budgie #handsome
A handsome gold and green budgie with black stripes hangs upside down. Because why not? Can, and HUMON goes CRAZY for it. Seriously, what's up with HUMON? Silly HUMON.

Oh dear. I am so sorry. Here's our rescue budgie McCoy. He's a sweetheart.
This is our rescue budgie McCoy. He's a lovely scrap of yellow, green, and black feathers perching on a sky-blue perch. He's a sweet baby who loves purring and trilling at us. If you're seeing him, he's blessing you, because he's a sweet wonderful fella. You're welcome.
