Here’s a tip on what to consider when adopting a bird-person. Although adoption is a meaningful commitment, it requires careful thought and long-term responsibility. Bird-individuals can live for many years, and some species may even outlive their caregivers, which is why many end up in shelters. Before adopting, it’s important to understand the bird-fellow’s age and expected lifespan, and to be ready to care for them for life, including making future arrangements for their well-being. Consider that bird-folk are naturally vocal and often active early in the morning, which may be challenging if you prefer a quiet environment. They also have very sensitive respiratory systems, meaning common household items like strong cleaning products, air fresheners, or scented candles can be harmful and should be avoided. Beyond basic care like feeding and cleaning, bird companions need daily social interaction and attention to stay healthy and happy. Taking the time to understand these needs before adopting ensures a loving and suitable home for your feathered companion.

Daniel was talking to Marcus about being trying to be more punctual.
“I set five different alarms this morning to make sure I was on time for class.”
“And? Did it work?”
“Well, yes and no. I woke up five separate times… just to turn them all off.”
“Well, at least you are exhibiting punctuality in hitting the snooze button.”
