The parrot Kiwi is 19 now. She's an old lady and sleeps most of the time. I still have Auryn, and currently...(*goes to count*) seven tarantulas. I'm considering rehoming the snake and the spiders though because since we moved into a house and put all the animals in the spare room I tend to forget to tend to them (just the snake and spiders, I don't forget Kiwi). I want to adopt another parrot sometime too so I really should rehome the animals I'm not really caring for the way I should first.

Why are you so fascinated with spiders?

So I never posted it here, but my beautiful Kiwi passed away the day after Easter this year. She was almost 21. I knew I wanted to get another bird (especially since my brother won't let me have a dog) but I didn't know what kind. I kinda pulled caiques out of a hat because their Youtube videos are cute and got on a waiting list for one. One became available though the local bird shop in October, when I make the most money (they aren't cheap birds) so I bought him. He came home early November.


This is Fizzgig.





He's a white bellied caique and he's five months old now. I really should have researched these birds first, their energy is though the roof. He wants to wrestle and play constantly. Kiwi was more of a cuddler. Oh well. They only live thirty years...





(lmk if the images don't work)


edit: Actually I should add while I'm here, I rehomed Auryn and all the tarantulas last summer, and when Kiwi passed my friend gifted me a pair of zebra finches. So I just have those three birds now.

Oh Sparky, I'm so sorry to hear about Kiwi. I remember fondly how many stories you shared about her. Congrats on the new avian babies though. Even if Mr. Fizgig is proving to be a handful at the moment. Hopefully he'll calm down a bit as he gets older.
