There's a good chance you hallucinated this week without ever knowing it

My poor little birds have chosen this month to molt, and since its a yearly thing, I suppose I’ll have to spend my Christmases in silence. They brighten my days so much when they sing.

"Anoreth is binge-watching the Red Green Show with her dog"

If the dog is watching the Red Green show, he should be wearing those red/green "3-D" glasses so he can see the show in color.

(As inane as my comments sound, there's science behind them. Of course the trick is to get the dog to even wear glasses of any sort, and then to watch television too.)

They both lost interest and came in the dining room to observe the nerd card games, get more beer, and cadge pork rinds.

[Tax-chick]

Poor dears. You could go to Wikipedia and play bird sounds. I got DP a page-a-day calendar for his birthday (Dec. 12) that has a bird each day, and then you point your phone at it and it plays the sound.

[Dead Corpse]

Merry Christmas ya’all...

[Darksheare]

My cats watch movies with my wife.
Don’t know why.

I woke up at 0230, came into the living room and heard an awful sound coming from the bird cage. I took the cover off and there was little Beaker, lying on the floor of the cage kind of on one side, making little chirps at regular intervals and shivering.

I’ve taken her out of the cage and wrapped her in a towel and if she survives to 0800, I’ll take her to the vet. I think she must have fallen off the perch while she was sleeping (they do that, sometimes) and broken something. Like a wing.

So she’s on my lap, for now. I think I’ll leave her wrapped up and put her in her travel cage to keep her warm. Poor little thing. She can’t tell me what’s wrong and I don’t have x-ray vision. :o[

HAPPY BOXING DAY!!

‘Face

[Tax-chick]

Oh, no, poor little Beaker! What a sad event!

[Tax-chick]

[Monkey Face]

They do fall off their perches in their sleep, on occasion, but they usually flutter and squawk and get back on the perch and after some mutterings of embarrassment, they go back to sleep.

She’s been in spasms since before I found her, so I’m not encouraged. Her vocalizations have almost stopped. She’s wearing herself out, poor thing.

[Monkey Face]

In my sadness, I miss this pretty Morning Floof!

Stepping out nicely, after foraging for prey!!

Gonzo is not happy. They were both beginning to trust me, and now this. :o[

[Tax-chick]

It’s not your fault. You can’t stay awake all night in case a bird falls down.

[Monkey Face]

Exactly. And no matter what I do, I can’t stop her from dying before I can get her to the vet. All I can do is make her comfy. And I have.

[Tax-chick]

Every pet gets to a point where all you can do is try to keep it from suffering unnecessarily.

[Tax-chick]

Maybe they like the same kind of movies. Does she watch movies about birds or fish?

[ArGee]

Good morning. Happy Boxing Day and Friday Eve.

I hope you had a Merry Christmas or Cheery Xmas or Happy Chanukah or whatever you celebrate this time of year. We had peace for most of our day, which is pretty good for our family. It got touchy when Mrs. ArGee started feeling the pain of the two children who have ghosted us.

[Tax-chick]

Good morning. Things were peaceable here. Tom doesn’t get on with Anoreth, but he considerately spent a good part of the day in his room and avoided conflict when he appeared.

[Monkey Face]

I know that feeling of missing children. I hope Mrs ArGee is feeling better today.
