Got my cockatiel a new toy the other day. She wasn’t a fan of the bell.

Finally got some rough Bird Fables doodles done (Bird Fables being this old AU I came up with ages ago ---->https://barbaracleboy.tumblr.com/post/684612020292796416/hey-all-ive-given-the-thought-of-bug-fables). Hopefully I can get more and better ones done in the future but for now have these. Team Snakemouth!

For a drawing I like even more, here we have Team Mothiva (Owliva?). I especially like how Zasp (Zawk?) came out.

And finally, Eetl. But a Kiwi.

I realized I’ve never posted pictures of my cockatiel, Mocchi, here. She’s a white face cinnamon pied and she was born on 4/20 :>

Hi Courtney! for the weird writer asks please:

4. What’s a word that makes you go absolutely feral?

36. They say to Write What You Know. Setting aside for a moment the fact that this is terrible advice...what do you Know?

Hi Rae! Thanks for the ask. These are fun!

4. What’s a word that makes you go absolutely feral?

Ooof. Irregardless. Like, setting aside the “sounds fake but okay” of it all… While it is technically an actual word, this clumsy, ridiculous double-negative mess means the exact same thing without the discordant “ir-”. Which is nonsensical! Just say “regardless”! But wait, what’s that? Most people who use this word actually think it means the opposite?

I just, I can’t.

36. They say to Write What You Know. Setting aside for a moment the fact that this is terrible advice...what do you Know?

I don’t actually think it’s always terrible advice! You certainly shouldn’t be constricted to writing what you know, or let it limit the stories you tell. But I think there’s a lot to be said for bringing some aspect of your own knowledge or history or experience into what you write, as long as it’s used as a tool to strengthen characters and serve the story.

But to actually answer the question… I know birds. African and South American parrots, specifically. Is that weird? My dad was a breeder for my whole childhood, and I basically grew up in an aviary. He specialized in Congo and Timneh Greys (and for a long time was the go-to Grey breeder in the country), but Meyers, Senegals, Caiques, Capes, Indian and African Ringnecks, Amazons, whatever. You name it, we raised it. We belonged to a regional bird club that had meetings and shows. I learned how to handfeed baby birds at 11. We all had our own pets — my mom had Poncho, who was exactly like every African Grey you’ve ever seen a special on, my sister had a peachface lovebird, Romeo, and I had my childhood cockatiel, Tango (who was a Lutino, a big sweetheart, and a pretty good talker but loved to sing). It’s been years, but I can still tell you what dominant and recessive genes you need to pair to get a whiteface pearl pied cockatiel or an albino ringneck.

I have no idea when any of that would ever be helpful in terms of writing, but there it is.

This is Hetare, from Tokyo Ghoul. A quick backstory without too many spoilers is that Hinami saw him fall on Touka’s patio when she was inside of the apartment grieving immensely, and stepped outside in the rain to check to see if he was alive. He was injured, but alive. And they decided to keep him at Anteiku until he healed, and then until his original owners arrived to claim him. No one did, so Hetare became the group’s bird, and Kaneki mentioned how much Hetare helped Hinami with her depression.

Okay, so imagine you have really, really, bad chronic pain, and you’re super depressed almost all the time from living with too many medical conditions at once that are constantly beating your ass; on one freezing December day a very cold pied cockatiel that was too exhausted to keep moving lands on your doorstep, and your dad brings it in so it doesn’t die from the cold. Then you buy it a cage and keep the receipt just so you could return it when you found its owners, but weeks went by and no one claimed it so you kept it as your own and named it cheese— you know, the name your friend chose for your animal crossing cockatiel. Then you find out it is a he, and he was neglected and very lonely and anxious, so you do your best to work with him and eventually, nearly five months later, have helped each other learn how to be more comfortable with the uncomfortable and have helped each other become happy again.

I don’t have to imagine. Meet cheese.

and a little over a month later, you and your fiancée make the decision to buy a bird for him since he was exhibiting signs of depression, but the god damn store (no shelter had a cockatiel) clipped her wings at only eight months old so now you are left with one temporarily disabled bird and one who is a flying yellow caution sign of bird trauma and felt overwhelmed but over the span of almost five months you see your new baby girl teach him how to be a bird and how to play with toys, and he taught her how to talk… and yell, but they’re opening up and that makes everything worth it because they’ve helped you with your sadness as much as you’ve helped them and you’re all healing and growing together and you realize a slice of mouldy cheese and a little crescent moon can make you so happy

#personal #cockatiels #tokyo ghoul #he is still very much traumatized but we’re working on it #almost five months with him!!! #yes he genuinely has helped me so much #im so thankful we have the means to support them #if you want to keep your money do not buy a bird #disabled #birds #parrots #cockatiel #chronic pain #chronic illness

helloooo big fan of your videos they give me so much motivation to make byler art 🫶🫶

question uno: how is filming of stranger things going?? it must be very exciting to be the new actor of will and meeting all the cast members :)

question deux: obv will is best boy but who are you other favourite characters? and also is there any character you dislike but is meant to be one of the good guys in the show?

last question number drie: do you think mike and will are going to get eachother christmas presents in season 5 because we know it’s christmas season and if so what presents do you think they’ll be??

also here is a lil quick drawing i made while watching ur vids of mike and will as the parrots that suit their personality in my opinion with mike as a quaker and will as a cockatiel

it is going wonderfully i think you bylers will be really happy for what season 5 has in store.

okay these are my favorite characters: will (obv) & mike, my #1 pookie bears. a lot of my friend dislike jonathan but i do not feel that way. jonathan is also a pookie bear with great music taste. i love joyce & hopper & they are very my parents coded. lucas & dustin obv they are pookies bears & i love them. nancy & steve, i like steve more than i like nancy, i don't have particularly strong feelings on nancy, idk why but i like her. robin is also cool but i think sometimes she kinda toes the line of being a little TOO campy or corny or just, netflix original /derogatory writing. but i love her & people cant say shit about it because guess what she is MY little netflix original pookie ok. max love max i didn't have an appreciation for her like i do now until s4 but i think that the writers wrote her so well & her problems are so complex & deep i find it really interesting. MURRAY! i love him, i want him to have a spin off PI show with joyce & hopper where they solve little mysteries i love murray he is so silly goofy i'm not gonna give him the title of pookie just cause i feel weird about that one. but he is hands down one of my favorite comic relief characters if not my favorite. argyle is my little stoner man i love him so much i love him! eleven OBVIOUSLY is a pookie & i love her so much & i want to give her some nice chocolate cookies & a warm glass of milk (even though drinking milk straight up is disgusting it's about the symbolism) & also a hug if she will let me just because shes been through so much & i hope that she gets better. also ERICA she is a POOKIE. i love her so much & i love how she is just so unapologetically herself all the time also she's funny as fuck & she knows it i just love her energy so i guess the answer to your question is that i love all of them & theres not a single character that ioh. i have one. that is arguably one of the "good guys" that i hate. i do not like kali. she parallels henry in a lot of different ways if you go back & watch season 2 like almost word for word & i don't like how she manipulated el into going & doing dangerous stuff with her, so yeah shes just not my cup of tea

I HOPE THEY GET PRESENTS FOR EACH OTHER because i think it says so much about a person & how they feel about you.

also i love your drawing so much & i would print it & put it in my room if that's okay but also im lazy & don't know where i would get it printed so sorry about that.

Might make a page on my carrd for my birds

#i have 3 birds #two cockatiels named moon pi and angel #and a cherry headed conure named charley

[fawfulydoo]

shoutout to all the green budgies named kiwi and all the sun conures named mango and all the blue pied budgies named sky and all the blue budgies named blueberry and all the yellow budgies named lemon and all the cockatiels named pikachu and all the quaker parrots named oliver and all the african greys named einstein and all the birds who know how to sing if "you're happy and you know it clap your hands"

#using all my bird fandom knowledge to post this

[featheredadora]

is your little long man a pied cockatiel? i work with a little man with similar coloration who is pied!

Yep! He's pied I'm pretty sure.

We don't know anything about his genetics (we have no idea even how old he was when we got him!), so I do wonder if there's some pearl in him too (he has a speckled chest, and markings on his wings that could be 'ghost pearls', or could just be down to him being pied)

Give some love to your little pied friend from me!

I was researching a bit about cockatiels and I ended up discovering the given names for different cockatiel colors. I like looking through genetics so I'm going over the genetics of all the cockatiels I had, here we go!

(this is very fucking long my apologies)

My very first cockatiel Nina (female) was a lutino (full yellow cockatiel with red eyes). Not sure if she was a pure lutino because it has been so long, but a prominent feature she had was red eyes which is exclusive to lutino cockatiels. No pictures of her because I had her ages ago. Rest in peace Nina.

Lutino is a sex-linked mutation.

Chico (male) is a normal cinnamon (light grey/brownish gray cockatiel with normal yellow face). And Lady (female) is a cinnamon pied (light grey/brownish gray cockatiel with yellow splotches around body).

Cinnamon is a sex-linked mutation while pied is recessive mutation. Because both parents are cinnamon, all the babies will be cinnamon! But for the babies to be pied, Chico needs to have a split for the mutation (aka have one recessive gene). We don't know Chico's parents for sure, all we can expect is that either there's a 50% chance that the offspring will be pied if Chico has a split for pied. If Chico doesn't have the split, then all babies will be normal like Chico (though they will be split).

TLDR: There's either a 50% chance the babies will look like Lady, or 100% chance the babies will look like Chico. It all depends on Chico's unknown genetics

For the couple I had before, the unnamed male is a normal gray (gray cockatiel with normal yellow face). Pipoca (female) is likely a pearl lutino (yellow cockatiel with lighter specks at the tip of the feathers and red eyes).

I have a suspicion that the male is also pearl gray, but it's difficult to notice on male adults because their coats tend to return to normal as they grow. I got Chico when he was 4-5 months old and I'm sure he is not pearled. As for the unnamed male, I had him when he was already an adult, so maybe he could have the gene or not.

Anyways, Lutino and pearl are both sex-linked mutations. The normal gray is a dominant mutation. Because I ALSO don't know the male's genetics, he could have a split for her genetics too. Because there's a lot of genetic variety between the two, I'll put the possibilities down here like a thread (I'm not 100% sure if it's correct!):

LUTINO GENE:

- If the father is not a lutino split, all babies will be grays, all the males containing a split for the gene because it's a sex-linked gene.

- If the father is a split for lutino, there's a 50% chance the babies will come out lutino, no matter the gender. The gray males will all have a split for the gene.

PEARL GENE:

- If the father is not a pearl split, all babies will be normal, all the males containing a split for the gene because it's a sex-linked gene.

- If the father is a split for pearl, there's a 50% chance the babies will come out pearled, no matter the gender. The normal males will all have a split for the gene.

- If the father is pearled, all babies will be pearled.

I'm not measuring all the possibilities for the two traits together because that would be a FUCKTON of work! Sex-linked genes are a little more complex to work with.

Fun fact! While in human biology the female sex is indicated by XX and the male sex is indicated by XY, on most birds it's the opposite! The female sex is indicated by ZW and the male sex is indicated by ZZ! So their sex-linked mutations work the opposite way from humans.

I think after making this thread I can become a biologist.
