When somebody asks you if you go out in this blouse and you answer "No, it's too pooped"

When you find poops even in pockets and in sleeves

When you live your fid for a moment and it decides to steal food

I think I had more thoughts for this thread but I forgot them

When your bird that is not known for talking begins to mimic you and understands a slew of different phrases (Rico is learning to say hello and I swear he is saying “Rico!”).

Or

When your bird learns about your favorite snacks and steals them enough to develop their own taste for it.

Or

When you get bird withdrawals that are so bad that you begin to move/behave similarly to them.

These may be specific to me, but this is all very recent and something I’ve noticed.

when you begin to get VERY suspicious when there is no noise in the house.

Or the sadder alternative

When you feel hollow when your house falls silent.

Or the less sad alternative

When you are visiting someone and their house is silent and you feel very strange about it.

I know what I forgot!

When you stand up at 5:30 am because you hear your fid fight-alike scream to check what happened (this happened to me few weeks ago, I was afraid that one of the Bourkes was being attacked by another one... hopefully false alarm)

When the sound of evil, cackling laughter emanating from the bird room doesn’t faze you (bonus points if you’ve had at least one guest/family member ask, “what is THAT?!” to which you reply, “it’s just the bird.” As if that explains everything).

When you have a nightmare that your fid escaped and you wake up in the middle of the night and you can't fall asleep because you are thinking what to do in such situation

(in this way today night I created the whole plan what to do if Zenek escapes 😅 )
