The Scarlet Macaw down the street threatened my Lovebird

He's an older Macaw. They live up to about 80 years, and he's 57. My lovebird was a rescue, so I'm not quite sure of his age, but I know he's a lot younger than that.


I'm going to grab all my other birds, my leather armor that Naps gave me, my broken record player and some records that skip or don't work, and my lizard is bringing his spell book and magic staff with him, and we're going to go show this Macaw that he needs to pick on someone his own size. All my lovebird was doing was getting some fresh air and exercise, and the cranky of coot screamed at him. My lovebird came back crying, shaking, terrified. This happened about an hour ago. My lizard is also brewing up some potions for use in battle.

Instead of returning "mother of pearl man", perhaps I should voodoo project him over to yon scarlet macaw (they're very superstitious, or so I hear, easily influenced by occult predictions), and just have him stand there, staring "Scarlet" macaw be turning African-mole-rat bald after a few minutes faced with the "flattened affect" of "mother of pearl man".

Anyway, gi' your li'l lovebird a head scritch for me. Must say, I like the idea of your lizard as a spell aficionado.

Shall I knit him a spring sailing outfit?

We're going to squirt the macaw with grape juice. That's what we were going to do. The potions my lizard is making is grape juice mixed with vinegar.

The lovebird is the only bird that doesn't let me go near him actually. The shop I got him from told me he was neglected and abused, and he was real sick looking when I got him. He's healthy now, but I don't know if he'll ever trust humans. He loves the other birds though.

And yes, I'll pay you two doughnuts and a muffin to per outfit for all my birds and the lizard. Yes yes.

Ah! The house wine!

Thank you for rescuing him! If he won't accept head scritches, please get him his own Apple watch to chew on; put it on my tab.

If they've been abused and abandoned, rabbits can take over a year to stop being "weirded-out" after adoption. Ours eventually came 'round. It would be nice were Mr. Lovebird able to do so too, in his own time, lovebird time.

It's great that he's healthy now and loves the other birds. He knows there's a place for him in the world! *sniff*

Pretty cool, Ty. Pret-ty cool.

Indeed.

And you know, if he never comes around. If he doesn't stop going into complete panic-mode when I clean his cage, or take if bowls out to be cleaned and filled, then whatever. He's happy and healthy, that's what matters. He was in a circular cage that the person who had him hung from a pole. Circular cages are awful for any bird. It gives them anxiety, and not to mention, they had the cage there, and no bird, not even a finch, should have been in that cage. I've never seen a smaller cage in my life. The travel cage I use to take the birds to the vet is bigger than that cage was. They ended up destroying the cage, thank god.

He was missing feathers, not only on his body (birds pull their feathers out when stressed or unhappy in anyway), but he was also missing feathers on top of his head. I've never seen that on a grown bird. I've seen pictures online of rescue birds missing feathers on their body, but never on their head, right above their eyes. However, within a month, he had them back, but it took a bit longer for his body feathers to grow back.


Yes yes.
