My Goldfinches hang upside-down.
It's amazing to see dozens of them (Bird Shop), all upside-down...

Hi @Former-Member Yes that's lovely.
Macaws are very long-lived birds, like our Cockatoos.
A big handful (as a pet), can out-live their humans (70 years or so).
Sometimes my Canaries come up to the wire, to say hello to me - because "I'm safe", & they probably know that I am where the food comes from.
I would have to say that "just surviving" is the term (past week or so) - "thriving & flourishing" would be so much better....

How cute @Former-Member Having people to contact, & spend personal time with - will make things much better.
My activity & social groups having all been cancelled (shut-down), left me with no contacts.
We communicated only face-to-face (in person), no-one has each other's phone number.
The expectation to "Do social interaction Online" is ridiculous - we don't have any way of contacting online (either).
Which is why my only social contact has been brief hello goodbyes with shop staff - for the past 2 weeks.

There were some Wonderful Surprises (Blessings) totally unexpected @Former-Member
Which does not give me company, or break the social isolation - it was very cheering & uplifting.
There are some "Silver Linings" after all - I prefer to call them Blessings or Miracles....
