I really miss my community there 🥲It feels like breaking up with a shitty boyfriend, but his grandma was really nice to you.

I've been doing my links like: [/c/cockatiel](https://lemmy.world/c/cockatiel) No idea if it works or not.

There's a community here for parrots and one for cockatiels specifically! I've added a link to Backyard Chickens to the sidebar of the parrots community. 🙂

A lot of the psittacine medical knowledge base is actually from poultry research. They’re surprisingly similar anatomically!

One big difference is that hens lay eggs every day, that still blows my mind. A parrot risks death if they lay more than twice a year because they can’t recover enough dietary calcium quickly enough.

I have parrots which are the same as chickens but more manipulative. Subscribing.

My life is “Murphy’s Law: the Movie”. Every time I try to reassure myself by saying “well, at least it can’t possibly get any worse than this”, it gets worse. There’s no way that there isn’t some asshole running a simulation where they just fuck with me.

I’ve made a LOT of comments on Reddit and every so often I end up searching my own comments to copy and paste a response to a similar question. I 100% intend on continuing this practice on Lemmy, assuming my niche community ever takes off.

Communities should be called slices! Lemmings don’t often congregate in groups, but when they do, it’s called a “slice”! It’s not at all dependent on the “sub” nomenclature from Reddit, it’s our own thing!
