  1. πŸ’πŸ»β€β™€οΈ ICYMI: πŸ₯πŸ¦œ Many #birds use tools, but the palm #cockatoo, a native #parrot of northern #Queensland, #Australia, and #NewGuinea, is the only animal on #Earth known to make #music with a tool.

    Male palm cockatoos craft drumsticks from branches and use them to drum on their prepared tree hollows in the tops of old-growth #trees. Each male has its own rhythmic style, sometimes drumming 200 beats in a row.

  11. Good, bad, and interesting:

    Good: Took our nearly-naked Jenday conure to a new vet today. He thinks we may be able to overcome the plucking with meds and he could get some of his body feathers back. Other vets have said nothing works. We start them tonight.

    Bad: We found out he has a grade 2 heart murmur, which may explain why he passed out from stress. (Someone new accidentally scared him.)

    Interesting: We’re finding out β€œhis” sex, in case the plucking is hormone related.

  21. RGBI Macaw

    Experimenting with the idea of creating an image with the RGBI colorcsheme. RGBI stands for Red, Green, Blue, Intensity. It's basically the colorscheme used by the text-mode console on Linux - with the six primary colors plus black and white, and with bright and dark versions of each of those colors.

  31. Had to clean Sherb's cage this morning and had both eggs in my hand and forgot to take a photo! πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

    So, this is the first egg she layed after coming to live with me. It's a little bigger than the ones she has layed in the last few years ~ I'm not sure why.
