Thiccles the fat purple ringneck Chonky and unashamed, like if Thanos, Grimace, Barney and the purple teletubby were all mashed together into a little birb shape

Just trynna get a nice picture of my bird where she’s not trying to vomit on me or shove her head in my mouth but nooooo (yes I stuffed a towel in the nest box so nobody can use it and yes she does have a hand painted portrait)

We had a problematic time in the Thicc House today, and everyone is staging an incredibly spoiled and surprisingly autistic protest as a result 🫩

- Grocery order gets delivered

- Standard shopping day feast ensues - buffet of sugar snap peas, blueberries, strawberries and raw almonds laid out (among other fruit and veg)

- I discover that the three bags of discounted, slightly misshapen apples that I usually buy have been substituted with slightly misshapen pears instead

- Apples are a staple in the Thicc House, everyone loves them and grazes on them along with their pellets throughout the day between meals

- The birds are horribly offended by this unauthorised substitution

- Confusion and anger ensues, everyone is pi**ed

- Nobody wants the pears

- Beans searching through brown paper bags, tiels dumbstruck and confused, Thiccles angrily banging her bare fruit skewer against the side of her cage and squawking loudly

- Thiccles won’t eat her other fruit and veg until the apple situation is corrected

- I have to order an Uber delivery of apples to calm everyone down

- I don’t like pears much either

- The blackbird in the yard I’ve been paying protection money to in the form of fruit so that it doesn’t wreck my flower beds has just hit the jackpot in the form of unwanted pears

- Pear related trauma continues until our saviour, Mandeep, arrives with the payload

- All is calm again

- Make mental note to ensure that substitutions are not allowed for apples in future orders

Sometimes I look at her and remember that underneath the purple feather suit, she looks like a tiny rotisserie chicken with a ball bag neck and I cannot take her seriously at all

Here is my stalker, angry that I have dared to leave the nest instead of feeding her chewed up slop directly from my mouth as she has instructed me to

The absolute worst part of spring is that it’s warm enough that you need to go sleeveless, but seven sets of little talons that insist upon sitting on your shoulders end up shredding the skin there until it looks like the side of a battle-scarred Moby Dick 😭

Anyway, here’s Thiccles, back at home with a ‘welcome back’ meal of her favourite (she likes the rice with a little bit of curry sauce) 🍛

I think it’s time for a new ladder 😅 He-Bean loves this one, but it has taken heavy bean damage and must go to the graveyard of chewed wooden items along with the others
