they're so cuties but I never see them (nocturnal) (I keep them at my office) (they could live for seven years and I might never see them) (I just like knowing they are in there)
It's nuts how common it is to not allow children to be angry, even (especially) in households where adults are angry all the time. As a child I knew my own anger was unacceptable--not just expressing it outwardly but feeling it at all. So now as an adult my immediate reaction to my own anger is often to feel guilt instead of like. Noticing when someone is being rude or unfair or my boundaries are being violated or whatever. fucked up.
to this day "who is allowed to be angry" has been an incredible benchmark for teasing out who, in abusive situations with mutual accusations and DARVO happening, is being abusive and who is being abused. one of my favorite resources about this, the Creative Interventions Toolkit, phrases the question "who sets the weather?" in the relationship and I think about it so so often when I think about my own childhood. I was parentified in a way that set me up for future abusive relationships, because I had to soothe my parents' anger while not being allowed to feel angry myself. I am extremely grateful to everyone outside myself - friends, therapists, partners - who's gotten angry on my behalf about how I'm treated or let me know something I'd been excusing or blaming myself for was actually Not Okay. I guess the good news here is that it's possible to learn how to access anger again in a healthy way, it just takes support, like doing physical therapy for a muscle that didn't develop quite right.
This is not to say that feeling anger is abusive; it's human to feel anger. But if you've ever felt like your anger was "unjustified" or were afraid to express it outwardly because you expected it to be dismissed ... ask yourself how you would react if the roles were reversed. I find that a lot of folks who were The Grown Up in a relationship with their parents hold themselves to much different standards than they hold other people.
I've seen plenty of situations that involve two or more people hurting each other and not admitting any fault because they want to protect their own egos. But. Notice when you think you're not entitled to be upset about something. When someone tells you you shouldn't be upset. There's a difference between taking your anger out on other people and just. Being allowed to feel angry.
Look. I understand the funny hyperbole of responding with knife emojis or "i will kill him" when speaking about someone who has annoyed you. But if you are saying this in a public place, maybe consider how your joke will be received if the person you are talking about sees it. Because some people will interpret your jokes as actual threats. And they won't be entirely unreasonable for doing so.

When I asked him what he was doing to my teeth and why, my orthodontist said "pretty girls don't have sharp teeth." Which, as you might imagine, made Child Draconym very angry
Update: bird is at BARCS. Is almost certainly a pet based on how chill he was with people and the inside of a house. Being in a car with a cranky box of "christmas ornaments" was a very surreal experience. And once we arrived, it turns out a cardboard box that squalks periodically is a great conversation starter.
Sorry I didn't see this sooner! (I have every kind of notification and email turned off). I'm really glad you took this bird to BARCS, someone is surely looking for their pet.
Oh goodness, I didn't think you were going to see it at all. Good news as a final update! The parrot was removed from BARCS website around lunchtime today and that's during the stray hold duration, so it's back with its family!

Maybe i can pick your brain on a bird situation where we live. We have few baby seagulls that have been kicked from the nest already around our area. It's only going to get worse and no wildlife rescues will take any, even though they are the seagulls that are supposedly threatened.
This is in benton harbor michigan. Do you have any suggestions of what i can do to help, or who i could reach out to for the very young ones?
So, I don't know a lot about gulls. But gull babies seem to be precocial, meaning they're able to waddle around and pick up food soon after they hatch. If they're nesting in a dangerous location such as the median strip of a highway, a bear enclosure, a minefield, etc, this can be a real problem, because they're a lot more mobile than altricial (naked and helpless) baby birds and can get themselves into a lot more trouble.
It's almost always best to leave chicks with their parents whenever possible, but if you find that they are nesting in really problematic locations, you might be able to put up some signs or barricades to prevent people from messing with them.
Animal Help Now (https://ahnow.org) lists a few rehabilitators and offices who you might be able to call for advice, but it does seem like there aren't many in your area. Hopefully at least DNR can advise you if a rehabber can't.
