I am literally obsessed with everything you do that involves sifloop you are THE sifloop artist to me

thank you!!! it means a lot to hear that haha

I've been like... near exclusively an OC artist for like 8 years at this point so every time i post fanart and ESPECIALLY ship art i feel like i have to fight every screaming cell in my body to post it because i feel like... RUDE? for projecting my own thoughts onto another creator's characters LMAO... so it's reassuring to know people actually like what i'm contributing!!

as for sifloop as a ship. i really should draw more isiloops because . rotates all three of them in my mind. but yeah. I think the thing I like most about the dynamic really is the like... way Siffrin and Loop canonically aggress each other despite an extremely persistent undercurrent of caring about the other not suffering.

Like. the back and forth between Loop constantly talking past/through Siffrin to really painfully insult the pair of them, and things like the [Forgetting Mirabelle's Name] event being so astoundingly gentle. just as a general example. (RNG event that only triggers after certain actions so you may need to look it up)

THEN adding the element of throwing them in postcanon with neither of them wanting to upset the party and thus having to keep a lid on it... I like the potential dynamics of such a painful and conflicted relationship having to be almost hidden and downplayed so as to try and not worry anyone, and thus becoming softer and introspective while still keeping a bunch of the more insidiously toxic behaviour.

Both of them acting with genuine best intentions in mind but still understanding each other to have way *way* more sadness and anger and guilt than they let on, and thus being able to clock it. Both for good and ill. Neither of them enjoy confrontation, but it's almost unavoidable when they KNOW the other knows what they're probably thinking.

. but yeah i just think they're neat! also a bunch of stuff related to asexuality but . shh

#also since. well. i dont know where else im gonna put this. because its CERTAINLY not going in the body of the text #an early way i worded my reading of Loop's characterisation when talking to my friends was: #'Loop is sexually frustrated in the same way as a poorly kept parrot' #WHICH SOUNDS INSANE but hear me out. if you know things about parrots you know they'll imprint on their owners. and it ruins their brains #parrots like this will see humans as potential mates and get AGGRESSIVE when nothing is happening! because... they aren't human. #the 'sexual' part of my reading is a bit of shock hyperbole but i basically mean they are socially/romantically/etc frustrated in this way #they are asexual obviously (... as am i for the record). but yknow. they and siffrin are both still ravenous for physical touch. #and loop... no longer being human. having that disconnect. BEING human FEELING human. but not being. #as well as literally physically lacking the ability for certain things. (staunch 'loop has no mouth and cannot kiss' truther here) #+ i think this is FASCINATING in context of both Siffrin and Loop's asexuality. its something i like thinking about. #two freaks who want intimacy but not in the 'normal' way. again as an ace myself. i think abt it #lucabytetalks #isat spoilers #sifloop

How to Get a Bird Back When it Flies Away

(This applies to corvids, parrots, and some other birds.)

I have heard people say that if your bird flies away you'll never get it back, but if you know what to do parrots and corvids are some of the easiest birds to get back.

Here are a few ideas about what to do:

Watch direction of flight so even if it flies out of sight, you know what direction to start looking in. Depending on the type of bird and how frightened it is, the bird may fly miles before landing.

If a bird is frightened, it is likely to fly in a fairly straight line away from whatever upset it.

DO NOT LEAVE YOUR BIRD even if you have waited for hours below it and it hasn't flown down to you. If night falls, and you are unable to stay with the bird, make absolutely sure you are back before dawn when the bird will wake up. The bird is very likely to fly somewhere new at dawn, or start looking for you. I can't stress this enough: you need almost unreasonable amounts of patience. It may take your bird many hours (perhaps even days) to fly down to you, but don't lose hope. (If you don't know for sure where the bird is, make sure you start looking for it again at dawn.)

Have someone else go get treats to lure the bird down, or its cage if that is available. (If the bird likes its cage, that can act as a lure.)

Things you can do to prepare for this ahead of time:

Teach your bird to come to its name.

Teach it to fly down to you. ("Stepping up" and flying upwards to you are not equivalent to flying down. Flying down takes different skills.)

Record its calls, so you can replay them for it when it flies off. If you can't see the bird or the bird can't see you, you can replay the recordings to help call it to you.

If your bird has unclipped wings, but never flies because its wings were clipped so young that it doesn't know how, either keep its wings clipped or teach it to fly. Otherwise it may spontaneously fly off your shoulder when its outside and not know how to fly back to you.

I feel like bird people as a whole are the most unhinged people out there and for good reason. Like chicken people gotta deal with all the horrible "I'm gona eat you pets" crap and pigeon and dove people gotta deal with people calling their pets vermin and disease ridden. And like I have a wild animal who tries biting my face at least once a week cuz she's mad the neighbors are mowing their lawn. Also if you own an emu you're just unhinged for owning one, like that's a straight up dinosaur.

busy today acquiring another beast. I named him carcosa :-)

#He’s in quarantine for a week while I treat him for the standard diseases. #He has an extremely strange personality and definitely hasn’t been socialized with other pigeons in years #also seems to have trouble with flight :( #previous owner was an old guy who died so I don’t know if he was ever let out of his cage or what conditions he was living in #his band tracks back to a local pigeon racing club #they don’t want him back #he’s 7 years old #Solius creatures #i think he had some really bad living conditions #cause the parrots he came with were crazy neglected #they were better though when I saw them today :)

Im back home and there's this parrot on the neighbours roof... it seems it hasn't moved (both pics have hours of difference) does anyone know if this is normal behaviour? I'm worried it might be someone's pet

What will it take for kids cartoons to stop wildly misrepresenting what a service animal is

#It’s really not that hard and it spreads harmful misinformation #What little kids see on TV they assume is real. So when kids hear that monkeys and parrots who belong to weird “cat lady” type people who- #Run around totally out of control are “service animals” #Will create kids who don’t respect service animals #And that IS actively dangerous for service dog handlers. Or dogs established to be normal dogs being called “service dogs” for a plot point #The wild misinformation is almost strange #Clifford the big red dog managed to make an entire character that was great representation of SDs and was still interesting and enduring- #That showed that not every dog can be a service dog that service dogs are life changing to their owners- #If those straight to DVD Clifford episodes can do that then Scooby Doo can skip the joke where Velma makes a fake “service dog ID” to #sneak scooby into a hospital. #There’s so many layers of bs to that #Scooby Doo #Clifford the big red dog #SD #🐛rambles #service dogs #service dog

Ah, springtime.

AITA for confiscating a cardboard box Izzie was playing in on suspicion of secret nest building plans?

You do NOT have a building permit for that, bird, and we both know it.

#izzie the green cheek conure #for context he was holed up in there with several of his toy balls and refusing to come out for lunch #he's eating now don't worry.Still pretty mad at me though i think #i do sometimes give him boxes for playing/foraging/demolishing but today was suspicious. #birblr #bird owner problems #parrots #green cheek conure #life with birds #my pets

i think khajiit having longer lifespans bc they're technically elven would be more interesting than just defaulting to giving them human lifespans honestly

#same for orcs. those are elves too. #i also think as reptiles argonians might have different lifespans #crocodiles are capable of living for over 100 years #there's one in an australian research center that's 120 years old. #tortoises can double that. #tuatara live for on average 100 years #there's species of parrot that people decide to own that will actually outlive their owner. #im just SAYING.

I wish I could have taken better care of you buddy. I'll get another and do right by them.

this one psychologist asked if i had pets i said no but i DID have a pair of parrots and then i started talking about them and THIS BITCH stopped me to say that parrots aren't really real pets. THE FUCK HOW ARE PARROTS NOT REAL PETS I'LL KILL YOU

#this blog is NOT a safe space for mfs who think only cats or dogs are real pets bc they can 'love' their owners back #y'all have never seen a pet parrot in your life those bitches love me more than your cat loves you i can guarantee it
