This is Sunny. Unfortunately she flew away about a year ago. Last spotted hanging out with a flock of galahs. But absolutely refused to return when called. Silly derp. 😢 Much sadness was had. But remembered as a cheeky little chicken.

Like I said in the last photo, he's a clever boy. We've been playing all the youtube tielfluencer videos to him and he can imitate a few of them. Here's him singing the cookie song.

My cockatiel took a fall from the top of the fridge and isn't adjusting his wing in place properly. This is relatively common for him given he is somewhat clumsy so I wasn't too worried at first, but it's been a couple of hours and by now he would have notmally sorted it out already. I'm having second thoughts and thinking that maybe I should go to the vet, but all the ones that treat birds are closed. Am I overthinking things?

Here is a video:

Edit update: Birb's okay. He is a dingus and it was just sprain. ty all for the help :)

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.
