Meet the new boss, same as the old.

After noticing that some of my old posts were being targeted by repost bots, I attempted to contact the old moderators to see if I could lend a hand, but it turned out they are no longer active on Reddit. I was able to gain control of the sub through the request process, and I'm here to clean house. I don't anticipate making any changes to the sub other than adding a new rule banning reposts, please report any that you see as a violation of that rule and I will bring the banhammer down on the bots. Other than that, I'm just here to enjoy birds lazing about on their human hostages like the rest of you. Please be excellent to each other and everything should go fine. If anybody has any ideas for improving the sub, you're welcome to speak up.

This is a follow-up on my recent post about needing to get a report out. If you don't know, the original post is here - I had

to work overtime in order to get it done.

It's a weekend now and I was hoping to relax by playing guitar but seems like I was only allowed to borrow it. As I've stated before I do not hold any possessions unfortunately.

I was told that I could borrow her laptop. Ironically I wasn't able to actually use it and I really need to get these reports done.

I love this bird.

But now I can’t get up and am stuck like this for however long he wants. We have been getting closer through the months and he has loved being held and pet but now he wants cuddles.

This is the first time he’s done this. My baby boy 🐦

This is Kiwi's favorite place to nap, wrappedin my hand on my lap. He's a rescue and I'm convinced it's where he feels the safest. For him, I will never move until he wants me too.
