Don't hold phone. Hold bird.

Hurley's favorite place is sitting atop a laptop

Prince Pierogi was swinging on this thing and having a blast... but stopped as soon as I tried to film it

Was trying to put some food in the cages and Hurley hopped on the cup and did this. He gotta inspect my work. Mini manager man.

I'm feeling a bit unsure about the harness training with Pooka. I don't think the flight suit is very comfortable and she is starting to seem bothered by it. So we are gonna give her a break and try The Aviator Harness while following Flock Talk's video on YouTube!

Even when she isn't wearing the harness I still gotta be rewarding her so she's like "this thing gets me lots of attention, skritches, AND snacks??? I guess it's alright."

Why is it green like me???

You want me to pilot this thing? I don't have a license.

Watching Ray play games

WOO

Prince Pierogi kept looking outside the bird room, so I let him out. He and Cookie then found some friends.

Happy uhhhhhhhhhhh Easter or something

Human is sick? Pooka can fix it!

Hello! We got home and then I (the human) was sick. Now I gotta be on antibiotics for a week. Here's some Charlie pictures. He was so angry about us being gone + sick that he threw all his dishes on the floor.

The humans have returned so your regular quality bird content will now resume

Last day to find me at PAX for pins! In pink again today but with a starling and sakura theme.

Here's what I'm wearing today at PAX East and if you wanna find me, say hi, and get some pins! Bonus Carmine the pigeon who belongs to the friends I'm staying with!

Here's the picture one of the friends checking in on the birds while we are away sent me of Queso

If you want to meet up at PAX East for a pin, let me know and I will meet you somewhere if I can!

Hello! It is my birthday! If you're at PAX East you may find me wandering around in a Mango/Sun conure getup! Including this awesome wing shawl a friend crocheted for me! If you see me, say hi for a Mango and/or Pepper pin!

Coming soon to some outdoor markets: Pooka the singing sales tiel who offers you dice!

It's taken like a week, but the harness is on! Pooka doesn't understand why this is happening, but she tolerates it. Mostly. In any case, she will be very happy when the harness means she gets to visit with people and sell dice under a tent with me this year.

Trying to get Queso more comfortable outside the bird room. He's the only bird that freaks out about going outside of it. Anyway, he has some opinions.

Can I offer you a nice Charlie in this trying time

Please keep an eye out for my etsy shop reopening! I will announce it here too. There will be some special Mango dice!

If someone buys her the smaller suit and leash, I will send them a dice set lol

Pooka loves people. I think she would enjoy going to outdoor market events to sell dice with me. Thus, we begin the process of seeing if she will eventually wear the flight suit harness thing.

In case you haven't been following @pepperandpals.bsky.social, sadly, Mango passed last week. I still have Rebel Mango stickers at events for anyone who donates to Amanda until they run out, as she's still paying off the vet bills. Please keep her in your thoughts and send good vibes as she grieves.

Here are the last pictures I will ever take of Mango. This is her eating her final red jellybean. In her previous home these were her favorite, but I phased them out due to the sugar. Still, she would get one once in a very rare blue moon. I knew she had to have one before she went. She ate the

Thank you for your condolences. I'm sorry I don't have the energy to respond. While all of this was going on I have also been dealing with what I'm pretty sure is the flu. I don't think Queso understands yet, but he's happy to be on my shoulder.

I'm sorry. Mango is gone

Hay. You got seeb?

She still looks rough in this video but she is doing better. This morning she made normal vocalizations for the first time in days, which previously has been one of the first signs she's starting to feel better. She is also more active. We will be back at the vet on Monday for another Onsior shot.

Thank you so much to Seed Street Toys for the Mango care package! We both appreciate it so much 💖 Seed Street has some of Mango's most favorite toys ever, including this one.

Sometimes it's hard to get video of Charlie because he's like, "Your hand is not for phone. It is for holding bird."

Just wanted to provide some recent receipts. This isn't all of them (there's been a couple vet visits now), but it is the most recent ones from my email, text, etc. As promised, money donated is going towards vet bills (including the Onsior shots that will need to be given every 5 days for a while)

Mango got her first Onsior injection this morning as well as some fluids. For now, you can tell she's still not feeling great. But here's hoping that changes soon with these new meds!

Bird Street Bistro is Pooka approved!

So last night Mango had a seizure. I think she has had a couple before, but I wasn't 100% sure. She is going back to the vet tomorrow morning for fluids, an injection of Onsior, and will also be put on gabapentin. The tentative plan is the Onsior + gabapentin until she is stable, and then Celebrex +

She's still scruffy and tired, but I do think the Celebrex is helping. Hoping it will continue to help, and if this is indeed avian ganglioneuritis, it will go into a sort of remission. It's been so hard to see her go from being almost entirely normal to sick again. Hoping we can test soon.

Prince Pierogi looks like that owl from Ocarina of Time

Hello? Sorry signal here is terrible I can barely make out the screms

Hold on I gotta take this call

Well, she's definitely doing better than yesterday. Not great, but better. I tried to take a pic of her sitting on my hand, but instead got this picture of her desperately flying to my pizza. Unfortunately, I think cheese is the last thing she needs so no pizza for Mango.

So Mango really went downhill again. I'm kind of not doing great so I will keep this brief and simple as I try to explain best I can. 1. Mango likely has something called avian ganglioneuritis. If I understand correctly, many captive parrots (as many as 1 in 3) has Bornavirus. However, not all of
