Imagine being a formerly wild bird that now lives in complete luxury (three microwaved meals a day, heated bathtub and sleeping perch, a fuckin IPAD) and the thing you want more than anything......is to eat so much snow you get a brain freeze. Repeatedly. She goes absolutely insane for snow. She will literally eat it off of my shoes. Weirdo (affectionate).

It's fucking dinner time, baby!
Is there an update on Milo the european starling getting his bird-safe snow cone?
Omg. Lol yes. Here is a brief Milo snow-cone saga:
So first I got some frozen berries and soaked them in water, then drained the juice + mixed with ice. I also mashed a few and mixed them in too.
Then I mixed mealworms into it and put it in a dish and took it out to the birds and.....Milo did nothing except stare at it suspiciously. I can only imagine she is thinking "that is NOT the color snow should be" lmfao.
So I tried a different approach and just put some on their lunch plate and that was a success! Most of the stars do not like me standing there while they eat, so a very short video, but you can see Milo grabbing some (just look for those dark blue bands in the top right!) π₯Ή
None of the other birds were terribly impressed, I gave some to everyone at the aviary and the starlings were ultimately the only ones who cleaned the dish lmfao. But it was a present for Milo and she liked it, so I'll consider it a success! π₯Ή
I do think I will play around with some more flavor and consistency options to see if any of those are a bigger hit. I will try to update if I do!
New development......? Looks like Manco and Milo might have paired up???? He has been singing to her all fucking day and they have been inseparable for close to a week now. Milo seemed interested in Prince last year, but I bet Shrimp scared her off lol. Will be interesting to see what the pair dynamics are this coming spring.
I've been housebound while recovering from a major surgery that I had at the end of August, but my husband has been caring for all of my babies for me π₯Ή He got some photos for me today, I'm so excited to see that everyone has finished their molts and looks wonderful! I can't wait til I can walk again.....I've been hearing them sing from my bedroom window but it's not the same as seeing them π

Manco showing off for Iris and Milo! And Iris showing off a bit too π
Manco is my oldest male, likely around 7, and has a pretty extensive vocal repertoire. In this video alone, you can hear a killdeer, Canadian goose, gulls, and part of his mallard quack lol. He can also mimic red-shouldered hawks, robins, crows, blue jays, and grackles. A very talented boy! π§‘

I am always open to questions or messages about any of my birds, or myself and what I do! I may not get to them right away, but will respond whenever I am able.

I could only do one vid per post but here is another Milo snow-cone vid, her reaction when I put it in there cracked me up. She came over to the wire and looked at me like "What the fuck did you put this in here for. And where is lunch."
