      Not just suggesting, the article says that some have even castrated their birds, which I didn’t know was possible

    Masturbation among birds is ‘natural’ and should not be punished. It’s interesting how humanity has regulated its own biological behavior, we have rules for where and how to eat, sleep, defecate, urinate, menstruate, reproduce, masturbate, etc. I get that some of these came from hygiene and personal safety but still find it weird, and even weirder that some people expect birds to follow our social constructs.

    My parakeet was fucking a swing perch in his cage. It was hanging perpendicular to another perch, so he would grab the swings from the side and go on his rodeo.
    But personality was important to him, so every 15 seconds he would run to another “floor” where he had a mirror, say his version of “oh baby yeah it feels so good, call me your bird!” and then would run back upstairs to continue
