#they aren't domesticated and really aren't well suited for captivity
Text
My cockatiel Bandit is molting right now and he looks so nasty 😂
If I didn't know what was happening, I'd be panicking thinking he's sick. Shoot, even though I KNOW what's happening I still am worried about him. 😂
On the plus side, I managed to get some of his shed feathers before he destroyed them so now I have a few intact wing and tail feathers from him for my collection. 👀
I always say the reason I have birds is so I can collect their feathers. It's a joke, of course. Mostly.
#as a kid i was obsessed with collecting feathers#come to learn collecting wild bird feathers is actually illegal lol#so i had to get my own birds 😂#just a PSA: I don't endorse keeping parrots as pets#they don't make good pets for most people#they aren't domesticated and really aren't well suited for captivity#a majority of my birds are rescues#that were already in the pet trade#i don't support breeding parrots as pets#if you want a bird as a pet look into domesticated species like pigeons and chickens and i think some finches#or look into rescuing parrots in need of homes#they live so long that they often are traded around a lot#okay i'll get off my soapbox now
