When you tell somebody that your fid passed away and that person just keeps smiling (happened to me today)
I'm so sorry :(

When you order a new cage, to replace one that is otherwise fully functional, because the new one will be easier to clean! My kingdom for a cage that doesn’t look dusty five minutes after a deep clean!!

Haha, I wouldn’t have done it but I found an A&E cage on sale for under $300, and I couldn’t pass that bargain up! It’s the weird green color though which I don’t love, haha - maybe that’s why they ended up discounting it so deep!

Budgies. Lotsa Budgies.
“The Quaker Dance” can be a terrible ear worm. I’ve been singing it for the last three days.
I rewrite Jimmy Buffet songs for my birdies and sing and dance around the room for them! Latest is "I Wish I Had a Pencil Thin Budgie"! Yesterday I was "Wastin' away in Budgie-ritaville, Searchin' For My Lost Shaker of Seed"!
Yup, they think I'm nuts, too!

Today Zenek screamed two times when my microphone was on

Sometimes he screams just because he hears sounds on my laptop... but hopefully not all the time

...and when you have an online exam and during your conversation with the examiner your fid starts screaming (this has happened to me too)

When somebody asks you if you have parrots and you have no idea how this person guessed🤷‍♀️

(and before it there were no other questions like "do you have a dog" or any other animal-related conversation...)

Maybe it was that little green and white thing on the back of your shirt!

A feather would be more possible - I don't remember when it happened but I don't let out my fids before the driving lessons (it was the instructor)... no letting out=no poops on me. (I let out after because more time)
