I've been through this stage! Keep being patient and enforcing those boundaries, and she will calm down. My girl barely bites anymore and never breaks skin. I've just adopted a boy with some aggression issues we are working on so can very much relate 😅 there are at least six bite marks on my cheek and neck right now!
I think I would have enjoyed it more if I hadn't gone to see it in the cinema specifically because someone on Reddit said it was the first movie that made them scream out loud in over a decade. At what part??? There were literally zero jumpscares or super shocking parts. It is not 'scary' at all! (That's not to say it isn't good horror). I ended up spending all my time waiting for whatever terrifying thing caused them to scream to finally happen and ended up really confused.
Honestly, from what I've heard of pretty much every account of someone almost dying or dying and being revived, there is always a moment of peace before it takes hold, a calm, comforting feeling no matter the way you actually go, an acceptance . The mind and body take care of you.
Birds are flock animals by nature and I think he would love this so much. I think this is the most loving thing someone could do for a bird they know they don't have time for.
Interesting! I thought she was blaming her kid's death on a violent dog to protect the police/her other children and thanking them for putting down the dog that killed he son, when really it was them who killed him.
I’m not a vet, so please don’t rely too heavily on my information. As far as I know, French molt, or polyomavirus, won’t kill the bird (unlike PBFD, which this problem could also be..), but it’s incurable and highly contagious, so I would guess that yes, it’s dangerous. Many budgies are asymptomatic carriers, but for some it causes deformed and useless feathers, or feather loss. I am not sure exactly how it works, or why there are different outcomes depending on the bird. As with most aspects of budgie health, there’s a mixture of right and wrong information floating around. My point was that this bird is older than OP was told, definitely has abnormal feathers, and needs to see a vet ASAP to figure out what’s going on and decide a course of treatment.
Yeah given she's apparently flying and feeding herself I'm quite skeptical of 4 weeks! The shelter is lovely and so caring but definitely not experts in bird stuff. She's been through a lot of trauma so I will give her a little bit of time and then get her to a vet as soon as possible.
She doesn’t look like a nestling at all, but more like a young adult with a feather disease like French molt. She is adorable nevertheless. If you take this bird in, have her seen immediately by a good avian vet for diagnosis and treatment, and keep her separate from your flock and keep up a hygiene regimen (hand washing after handling her stuff, etc.) until your vet gives you an all-clear.
This is an unreasonable and ignorant take. Not everyone can adopt. Everyone's situation is different. If you CAN adopt you should. But a lot of baggage comes with rescues that not everyone is in a situation to deal with.
Nope. That's just your opinion. A statement based upon your emotional attachment to the issue. In reality though, adopting isn't right for everyone. Yes, it would ideal, and people should be commended for doing so. But trying to shame people for not wanting to adopt and get an emotionally damaged bird is a bit unhinged.
No, adoptable birds are not emotionally damaged, and there's no guarantee that a bird bought from a breeder will be any more stable or won't have emotional issues. This is just a huge misconception about abandoned animals. In fact, buying an older bird who has already gone through its toddler or hormonal phases and already has an established personality is way less of a risk than getting a baby bird that you never know how it will turn out. And honestly, if you can't deal with a bird having emotional issues, you probably shouldn't be getting one at all. Stick to dogs, cats or fully domesticated animals.
It's crazy to me that a couple of hundred years ago thousands of people died on this passage every year because it was almost impossible to survive and now we can laugh about it and film fun videos and stuff
My birds are on Harrison’s adult lifetime fine pellets. They find the “super fine” size too small, but “fine” should be a good size for her. My female was on Tropican when I first got her (I miss the bubblegum smell lol) but she transitioned to Harrison’s very easily. It looks bland but apparently is very tasty. Her feathers improved dramatically once on Harrison’s.
Ah, that’s cool you have budgies. “Monkey see monkey do” is the best way to inspire a bird to try things! Assuming you don’t want to eat the pellets yourself, lol, having her watch the budgies eat will be really helpful.
Yeah that's a good idea tbh! I might start offering their meals separately (maybe veg in the morning and pellets at night?). I have a whole flock of rescued budgies and once i had more than one budgie converting the rest was a breeze 😅 budgies are great social learners! I have a couple of cockatiels who are also very good at eating all the food they're offered. My conure is the only one who doesn't yet have a companion of her own species so maybe that is why. There are some pellets in her sleeping cage that she just doesn't seem to touch but maybe that's just because they're in her bedtime place. I'll try switching things up!
I actually think this is more patronising? Every great artist recognises their limits and values feedback and challenges from people they admire and respect. People around her absolutely should be making changes, that's why she works with them? Every great novelist has an editor, as do all good directors etc.
There’s a lot of denial and crazy speculation going on so it doesn’t surprise me that one of the sisters would make that statement. Just today someone took the camera footage and tried to “clean it up” and claims that it looks like the person is wearing glasses so it can’t be Tyler. Despite police saying there’s no reason to think it’s anyone else and that the husband was on the phone with police when it happened.
Yeah Marshall came across as very sensible and respectful, like he has dealt with it all as well as possible. It seems like a sad situation but it's the only thing that really makes sense. What motive would Marshall even have for hurting him? Tyler had already agreed to move out and was allowing Marshall to keep the kids full time. The fact that sisters refuse to listen to the recording (which likely unfortunately confirms Tyler didn't act in the best way and perhaps was emotionally abusive) says a lot about the state of denial they are in. Sounds like they are not even open to hearing anything that doesn't confirm what they already believe. I totally understand why that would be so hard to do when a loved one is missing, so i sympathise, but encouraging people to believe Marshall has murdered Tyler and even almost outright lying about publicly available stuff to support that isn't OK. Like I say, a sad situation.
The refusal to listen is odd. At first I thought maybe they didn't want to hear what was possibly him being physically harmed, but apparently it's just an argument where Tyler eventually gets really angry?
Marshall claims that at the end of the argument Tyler threatened him, and that is what prompted the call to 911. Given that the family hasn't outright refuted this but instead refuses to listen to the recording, blames Marshall (he was pushing his buttons etc) or are intentionally vague, I'm inclined to believe this is probably the case. Tyler was probably acting out of order in the recording and I'd imagine you don't want to hear and know for certain that your brother doing something unpleasant was potentially some of the last moments of his life, or have to come to terms with the fact he likely isn't a victim of violence. I do sympathise, but I also think they're acting out of order in accusing Marshall and potentially misleading others.
Tbh my Taylor Swift ticket was cheaper than £85! Thankfully managed to get a Nick Cave ticket for £40 though. I don't think I'd be paying close to £100 unless I got to touch Beyonce personally lol
Does anyone know if you still need to be on some list to be able to get tickets when they’re released? And if so how to get on that list? I totally missed out the first time around and I’d love to have a chance at regular ticket prices if new tour dates are announced.
I don't know if anyone will know what really happened for a long time, but I've always been uncomfortable with the framing of Olivia as a young, indie helpless artist rather than the huge former Disney star with lots of money and a giant equally capable team behind her. Especially with how she treated Sabrina and that whole situation. I think she had a lot to learn about how the industry works and how much power her words hold.
Interesting. I honestly haven't seen how she may have been portrayed as an indie artists. The hype I saw leading up to driver's license even was crazy. It was very clear she had a huge following from the get go. Do you mind sharing how this is your perspective? I'm curious.
Yeah it's no so much the hype behind her music but the way people talk about her specifically in relation to the Taylor things, and how they don't seem to acknowledge she also has a big team and lots of money behind her, or like she's a powerless indie artist, if that makes sense.
How has anyone not mentioned the Paul Mescal thing where he hooks up with girls, takes them on a walk in a park the morning after and literally runs away from them
I've never really known why as I wasn't a huge fan and didn't obsessively watch Glee but something about Corey Monteith's death made me much sadder than any other has affected me. Maybe I was just at that young teenage age where I hadn't really realised how fragile life could be yet.
I paid £75 each for two tickets (£150 in total) on the day they went up. Although keep in mind these are side view nosebleed seats
Even that feels lucky! We spent over £200 ea on similar seats!
I've been through this stage! Keep being patient and enforcing those boundaries, and she will calm down. My girl barely bites anymore and never breaks skin. I've just adopted a boy with some aggression issues we are working on so can very much relate 😅 there are at least six bite marks on my cheek and neck right now!

I ended up spending all my time waiting for whatever terrifying thing caused them to scream to finally happen and ended up really confused.
If I had to guess I would say it’s the end of the worm part that made them scream. Lol
The only way I can make sense of it is if this is the first horror film they've seen since the last one ten years ago 🤣

NAH.
She is the epitome of Go Girl! Give us nothing!
I definitely intended it to be humans.
Interesting! I thought she was blaming her kid's death on a violent dog to protect the police/her other children and thanking them for putting down the dog that killed he son, when really it was them who killed him.

Thanks so much, I have a couple that have feather issues already too but are otherwise incredibly healthy so hopefully she will cope just as well.
This is an unreasonable and ignorant take. Not everyone can adopt. Everyone's situation is different. If you CAN adopt you should. But a lot of baggage comes with rescues that not everyone is in a situation to deal with.
If you can drop hundreds of dollars on a new baby conure you can adopt. End of sentence.

Whew I'm glad I'm not the only one cringing at these lyrics.
YTA.

Yeah I tend to mix everything up because that's how the budgies like it but I might have to try offering her a separate space if this isn't working!

Agreed - but its still a mad price to be paying. The stadium gigs are even worse (Swifty or Bruce for example) - for crap sound and a poor view
Tbh my Taylor Swift ticket was cheaper than £85! Thankfully managed to get a Nick Cave ticket for £40 though. I don't think I'd be paying close to £100 unless I got to touch Beyonce personally lol
£85 is quite extortionate! I didn't even pay that much to see Taylor Swift in August!
She DESIRES
Those are both boys!!
I was getting screamed at by my boys because they couldn’t find our rabbit… He was sleeping behind the couch. 😑
Omg, another bird and bunny owner!
Does anyone know if you still need to be on some list to be able to get tickets when they’re released? And if so how to get on that list? I totally missed out the first time around and I’d love to have a chance at regular ticket prices if new tour dates are announced.
I think you already need to have signed up. When the new UK dates were announced I had to ask a friend who already had a link to get us tickets

I don't even know who that is, and I want to know more.
Irish actor!
