Marty is starting a new oral medication for his hormonal issues. The veterinarian thinks that his unrelenting interest in nesting and other reproductive activities could be a sign of obsessive tendencies. He’s starting on Clomipramine, but I’d like to train him to take medication willingly since he’ll have to take it every day, possibly twice a day.

I really miss my community there 🥲It feels like breaking up with a shitty boyfriend, but his grandma was really nice to you.

 

(His foot is purple because he was eating blackberries earlier.)

I've been doing my links like: [/c/cockatiel](https://lemmy.world/c/cockatiel) No idea if it works or not.

There's a community here for parrots and one for cockatiels specifically! I've added a link to Backyard Chickens to the sidebar of the parrots community. 🙂

A lot of the psittacine medical knowledge base is actually from poultry research. They’re surprisingly similar anatomically!

One big difference is that hens lay eggs every day, that still blows my mind. A parrot risks death if they lay more than twice a year because they can’t recover enough dietary calcium quickly enough.

I have parrots which are the same as chickens but more manipulative. Subscribing.

 

How Marty lost his tail:

About a month ago, we were evacuated from our home because of wildfires. I wasn’t home when the evacuation order was given. I wasn’t allowed to go home to get my birds. Police officers kicked my door in around 1:30am that night and retrieved my birds! In the scuffle, Marty’s tail was ripped out.

Here’s my previous post about their rescue, if you’re curious.

Memmy’s been giving me issues with repeat comments today too.

 

Time for a RASPBERRY PARTY. That’s when you make as large a mess as possible with a single raspberry. If you don’t accidentally vacuum up raspberry remnants without realizing and inadvertently spread raspberry all over the floor, then it wasn’t a real raspberry party.

My life is “Murphy’s Law: the Movie”. Every time I try to reassure myself by saying “well, at least it can’t possibly get any worse than this”, it gets worse. There’s no way that there isn’t some asshole running a simulation where they just fuck with me.

I use SD to make character portraits for TTRPGs online and I’ve had decent luck fixing images with Photoshop (Beta) generative fill. It’s good at some things, like replacing one eye so that it better matches the other. It’s okay at noses. It’s very bad at mouths. It’s good at removing backgrounds or replacing something with background. Extending images is 50-50 but it can be nice for getting a character centred in frame, or for filling in the top of their head if it was cut off. It’s also pretty good at blending two images- for example, I often have a good full body image with a really weird face; it makes it a lot easier to paste a different face on top and blend the edges.

I know this is a paid option for what you’re asking but hopefully it helps.

 

We’re happy to see you.
