  • Animal?  I don't even know how to answer this... I like both cats and dogs as pets, and in the wild I love ducks and sea otters.

    Season? Hmmm... Still probably summer, but I do really like fall as well.

    Holiday?  Christmas.  It's not really religious for me, but I have so many good childhood memories surrounding that time of year, and it just always makes me happy.

    Color?  Blue.  Any shade, but light blue is my favorite of the shades.

    Day of the week?  Sunday Funday.  Though I really need to talk my H into reinstating that...

    Flower? I really like blue hydrangeas (though never have any in the house because they are poisonous to cats) and stephanotis.  Both were in my wedding bouquet.

    Animal - River Otters.  I fell in love with them after an exhibit at an aquarium.  

    Season - Fall.  I love the break in the hot weather and the start of the holidays.

    Holiday - Christmas.  I love all the festivities and decorations.

    Color - Grey.  That sounds depressing, but it's the color I'm most drawn to in clothing and decorating.

    Day of the week - Sunday.  It's the only day my husband is guaranteed to have off work, so it's family day.

    Flower - Peonies.
  • Animal? Horses (I miss riding everyday-- I used to show competitively)

    Season? Fall (Indian Summers are great, but I love the crisp cool air and changing of the foliage)

    Holiday? Thanksgiving and/or Christmas. I love being together with family and stuffing my face with all kinds of delicious foods.

    Season? Summer - love the heat! We'll see if that changes when I am 6 months pregnant.

    Color? Green. Navy blue and gray are also high up there - pretty much my entire wardrobe is in these colors. They were my school's colors and it really stuck with me.

    Day of the week? Friday

  • @KilgraveMadeMeDoIt you're birds are beautiful. Gallifrey is sooooo pretty I've never seen a cockatoo those colors. Not that I'm really familiar with birds anyway. Out of curiosity how do you deal with the self mutilation? Give him more attention? Sorry if this is an innapropriate question! My aunt had a cockatiel for 15 years I believe. She spent so much time working with him and he was so much fun and a joy to be around. 

  • @jstinkz When we got him, he was living in a cage with no toys, nothing for climbing, just a short perch and two food dishes on the floor. No gyms or anything, nothing for shredding. Cockatoos are about the equivalent to human toddlers cognitively, and so lack of stimulation is a huge, huge problem for them and usually turn to self-destructive behaviour in those cases. Imagine a three year old locked in an empty room all day, every day, with food pushed under the door. It's torture.

    Often what happens with cockatoos is that they are calm and sweet babies for their first year or two, then they hit puberty and become territorial and aggressive. Lots of people don't know how to handle that (particularly the biting - this bird can generate enough force to break fingers) and so the bird ends up rehomed or locked up and ignored. 

    Gallifrey is five, so we suspect that's sort of his story but we don't really know all of his history for sure. The way to treat self-mutilation is to give them a LOT to do, particularly preening-type toys (in case their plucking started as overpreening, which is common) and stuff to shred to direct their destructive tendencies towards. Plus lots of love, attention, and a very good diet. When we are home, the birds are usually out. As you can tell from the photos, we have gyms set up for them to play on. They're also allowed on the couch, and they spend a lot of time on us of course. 

    He's gradually getting better although he's more aggressive towards me for reasons we don't really know but are probably related to his past experiences (they may hold grudges against people who look like someone who treated them badly.) We're working on it. The plucking is very, very slow to improve. It can take years. Prozac is a treatment possibility as well (yes, that prozac) but we're not really intending to look into that for quite a while yet.

    Animal? Horses, I actually have a mustang... I adopted her wild and untouched, and did all her training myself. My 2yo DD  now leads her everywhere and I can't imagine my life without her. I call her my soul-horse.

    Holiday? Christmas, I go pretty crazy with decorating, music, movies, cute little family traditions... Can't wait to dress DD and the new LO up!

    Color? Purple, everything is purple. I love it. 

    Day of the week? Friday, because it's one of my days off and I get to sleep in and snuggle with DD.

    Flower? Lilacs, super excited my Lilac bushes are starting to bud... Very sad they don't stay in bloom long enough.
