This is me. And Pepper! Pepper has now gone over the rainbow bridge, but the adventures of his pals continue! Mostly we'll be talkin' birb here. You can follow my personal account @cinniharpy for my deplorable excess of personality. Please check out the links in the replies!

Honestly so happy with how the nets, wheeled playstands, etc, have encouraged Queso to come out of the bird room! He came out all on his own! Added a couple more things to the wishlist if anyone wants to help out. No pressure! amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2V…

Thank you to those who sent things from the wishlist. The birds continue to take over the dining room using what you sent!

Basically Mambo still gets special princess treatment. She's got a sleep cage upstairs in our room and I am trying to keep a close eye on her throughout the day. Both because I dont want her to get overwhelmed in the bird room and because I want to see how she handles the implant

No change in Pesto's eye. I guess at least it isn't bigger or anything. I admit it is very hard to catch him for meds as he is even less tame than Melon. I'm not sure how long he will have, given the vet believes it is a tumor, but we will let him be happy with his lady bird

I do think expanding out using these and other climbing things will work! If anyone is so inclined to help expand Queso's kingdom by getting things off the wishlist, I just added some stuff! amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2V…

Brought over amambo for emotional support, and pistachios as a bravery reward
Mayhaps we must expand the bird room outwards to get Queso to come out of it

Sometimes Pooka does this on one side of me while Pierogi does it on the other, reaching a harmonized pitch that destroys my ear drums and kills me instantly

Back from the vet! Mambo did fine with anesthesia and she now has the implant. It'll take a couple weeks for it to take full effect and hopefully curb some hormonal behaviors. As for Pesto... he likely has a tumor behind his eye. They can't know for certain without a CT scan,

but the vet doesn't recommend that for budgies. They did some kind of test that gently pushes on the eye, and it didn't retract, meaning that whatever is behind his eye isn't liquid or very soft. There isn't much that can be done. He has some metacam to see if that reduces the

swelling. It's sort of a wait and see for now. Tumors are unfortunately common with budgies as they are often overbred and inbred in the pet trade. 😕
