Newbie the History 🦜 & Rosie the Resistance 🦜

As a History Bird, I know what happened on January 6. I watched it on TV with My Human. And I am OODALLYING for a commission to investigate what happened. I know what’s what. I AM A HISTORY BIRD!!! This is my fierce and determined look.

Some news for the Newbie / Rosie nation: We may have found her Poppins. Got home. Made dinner. Turned on the TV. The Sound of Music happened to be on. The Lonely Goatherd. Guess who got all chirpy and happy?

@melissaquilts Don't know! But I swabbed it with rubbing alcohol.

@HistoryNewbie Thank you! I hope you are up to date on your tetanus vaccine! 💚 🦜 ❤️

Hello peeps! Tonight I gave Rosie her favorite toy. I'm supposed to keep metal away from her, generally. So no bell on this toy. After I removed the bell (and cut myself; TETANUS!), she got the toy. Just thought your timeline could use some happy birb-ness.

I forgot to say this here: The Central Park budgie was caught, is being brought to an avian vet, and will be taken to an exotic bird sanctuary where she can fly free with other birds. Apparently, while she's in quarantine, she's talking to sparrows. Her peeps.

@BrookeKeeton5 She does! With her own sassy Urban Bird flair.

@HistoryNewbie I’m not surprised like her brother newbie I’m sure she has a lot to say about what’s going on🩷

I just had an important Zoom meeting -- and Rosie oodalled throughout. A Rosie the Peep update.

Rosie the Peep gave me a good oodally ooooooh tonight. So we are both happy.

@jt_omalley I'm so very sorry. At least he was with you when he passed. So he was with love.

@HistoryNewbie My littlest lovebird passed away in my hand yesterday. I’m a mess. We had him for 10 years. His name was Houdini and he was the sweetest.

I love Rosie the Peep. And...I still miss Newbie.

@CherylOverby Not yet! I'll have to ponder it!

@HistoryNewbie Does Rosie have a BlueSky acct? I miss my Smidge. And I might be getting a puppy!

She's wearing shorts.

@melissaquilts I think of Newbie too. All the time. ❤️‍🩹 But now I have Rosie -- who was found in the Park when it was cold this past January!

@HistoryNewbie I think of you and Newbie every time I see this sweet bird posted. ❤️‍🩹

I worry about her when it gets cold -- but I would hate to take her out of the open. But I worry about her -- and would take her! Conflicted birb feelings.

PEEEEEEEEEEP

I call her Rosie the Peep because it sounds like a mafia name. And she's a tough Street Bird.

@CandyThomson1 😂❤️🦜

@HistoryNewbie That’s one small step for a birb. One giant leap for birbkind

Rosie the Peep didn't complain when I left for work this AM. She's figured out that I always come back.

@Nevermorelenore I think so. Oodles are good.

@HistoryNewbie Oh my! Maybe a bad oodles is better than no oodle?

Rosie doesn't quite oodle. She makes an oodle-like noise. Which I make back at her -- very awkwardly. She's now learned my Bad Oodle and offers it to me in exchange for mine. I taught her to Bad Oodle.

@GwenAWalton 🤣

@HistoryNewbie We have a cockatiel. We can’t whistle. He sings a bad version of Dock of the Bay.
