Interior doors couldn't be shut without extreme care because she had some stupid notion it might cut their feet off if they were perched on top of the door at the time and outside doors were more secure than those in the Kremlin . Ironically she had like a greenhouse leanto porch on the back door so i took to (when she was out) leaving the back door open and closing the greenhouse door so they could see what might eat them while being unable to escape . As a result when i opened the front door to leave they would rush to grab me trying to prevent me going out then retreat into the house once i crossed the threshold lol . Budgies are a nightmare to keep. Pet peeve: When uninformed people buy them for their children believing them to make good "starter" pets. All budgie owners are either neurotic to start with or become that way because of how ballsy but frail budgies are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend had one that was way too social and did not respect my comfort zone at all. I didn't mind another friend's rats zipping up into my beard to nestle against my neck, but birds flopping into your face when you're having breakfast .. Evil little creatures .. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can be trained , although our budgie trained us really. She tended to poop in two areas of her cage and when she sat atop the curtain rail. The worst thing about them is they chew the wallpaper, the plants (which can be poisonous), the top of the curtains, so you have to give them lots of boredom breakers, wood, toys, and they're very sociable creatures that tend to bond only with one human being and sometimes not at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a comment to some roadworkers yesterday morning, thanking them for resurfacing a stretch of a quiet road with tarmac as it meant I now had a new roller skating rink. The roadworker's face was a picture, disbelieving of course that I really did have rollerskates, and sadly I no longer have a pair, but only because I am afraid I would break a hip if I attempted to move about on wheels nowadays and I just can't take the risk. Sucks about the points. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordyn McGregor Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 So I enjoy lurking on the "wanted" threads. I like seeing what people are looking for, seeing if I know what it is and I can help, or if it's something I want to add to my ever expanding inventory too. A while back, I saw a thread where a chick was looking for a pose. I kinda liked it, so replied that if she finds out, lemme know! A few days ago I received an IM from someone asking if I had found that pose yet, cos they knew where I could find it if I was still looking. I replied that nope, not found it and it would be awesome to find out where I could get it. Tonight I log into this...name changed cos he's a butt! [03:20] Butt: (Saved Wed Mar 16 05:46:01 2022)I'm broke! I would love to receive some money for my information. What do you think about 500 L$ ? And I wonder why I enjoy my pink fluffy bubble of solitude and oblivion. 1 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of people use this service - I see their trucks all the time. They used to just do milk and other dairy, but they've expanded the options quite a bit. https://www.royalcrestdairy.com/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
