Hey there,
So, a few nights ago my 10 year old Galah, Bibi, broke a blood feather. We took her to the vet, which ended up costing over $500. We will have to board her for 2 weeks in june, which will cost an extra $531. This is expensive, but I should be able to cover it. However, the blood tests came back, and Bibi has a VERY bad blood infection, and signs that her liver may have problems. We are waiting for the results of another test, and I will now have to order a liver analysis. I also have to medicate her twice a day. All of this is very expensive, and I am terrified that she will not get better and die. I’m very scared of going into debt if her health does not get better—-I can barely cover these expenses as it is. Bibi is my baby; I rescued her 7 years ago from a sketchy, neglectful situation. Normally she should live for another 50 years! So, I am asking my community for help. I have updated my etsy shop with tons of new prints in a range of prices. If you would like a print of something I don’t have in my shop, please feel free to make a request. To get 20% off of orders of 10$ or more, enter coupon code HELPBIBI100. I will also be offering extremely discounted commissions and original art soon, so please stay tuned for that. Finally, even if you don’t have money to spare (and believe me, I know how that is T__T) please consider reblogging/retweeting this. Thank you for all your help.

A (feathered) friend in need! Celine is an amazing illustrator, and a fellow bird owner. Her stuff is wonderful, so go buy some things!
Today’s drawfriends stream was a lot of fun to watch, and I decided to draw along with them! Someone in the chat room requested a genderbent Link, so of course I knew what I had to do.
Happy birthday Jon, you old so and so!

YEAH ANIMAL CROSSZINE.
I am honored to be counted among so many talented folks! This is gonna be the best! THE BEST.
Hooray, today is Jessi’s birthday! A sweet friend, a good friend.
Today is Deanna’s birthday! Dea is one of my closest buds, and I owe her a whole heck of a lot!
Her comic, La Macchina Bellica, has these little library budgies at one point, and I COULD NOT GET OVER THEM. So here are her own birdies (Butters and Poramo) as library budgies!
WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU FIND A BABY BIRD
Spring is coming! That means adorable squeakers, as shown above, and lots of other baby birds are on their way!
If you find a baby bird on the ground- it doesn’t necessarily need assistance! Be sure to check this handy guide, (courtesy of Emily) before you decide to intervene. Many baby birds go on walkabouts with their parents before they learn to fly and this is a normal part of the bird’s development!
Also, (as Emily mentioned!) birds do not smell HUMAN on their babies and reject them, this is a myth! As per the guide, if a nestling has fallen out of the nest and you need to put it back, you can totally do this! And remember, a baby bird’s best chance of survival is to stay with it’s parents, so be careful with the little ones and be sure to consult your trusty guide!♥

Thank you for the boost! We are nearing chick season for many species, and this is vital information to keep in mind.
I’ll also add that if the bird is a raptor (bird of prey), it is very important to get them to a vet/rehabber that has someone who specializes in raptor care (e.g., raptorsva.org, wildbirdfund.com, and others). Not everyone’s experience/permits are the same.
Most states/regions in the U.S. have a person or group that will take raptors; it’s usually just a matter of finding out who they are!
It’s Hamlet’s birthday today! She is one of the kindest people I know, and I hope she had a great day!
