Newbie the History 🦜 & Rosie the Resistance 🦜

Newbie was (almost not a) Nervous Bird. Won an award because he knew what’s what. Oodally ooh.

Rosie is a badass Resistance Bird who is definitely Not Nervous.

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.

[Newbie the History 🦜 & Rosie the Resistance 🦜 @HistoryNewbie]

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.

[Newbie the History 🦜 & Rosie the Resistance 🦜 @HistoryNewbie]

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.

[Newbie the History 🦜 & Rosie the Resistance 🦜 @HistoryNewbie]

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

[Newbie the History 🦜 & Rosie the Resistance 🦜 @HistoryNewbie]

I just had an important Zoom meeting -- and Rosie oodalled throughout.

A Rosie the Peep update.

[Newbie the History 🦜 & Rosie the Resistance 🦜 @HistoryNewbie]

Rosie the Peep gave me a good oodally ooooooh tonight.

So we are both happy.

[Newbie the History 🦜 & Rosie the Resistance 🦜 @HistoryNewbie]

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

[Newbie the History 🦜 & Rosie the Resistance 🦜 @HistoryNewbie]

I love Rosie the Peep.

And...I still miss Newbie.

[Newbie the History 🦜 & Rosie the Resistance 🦜 @HistoryNewbie]

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

[Newbie the History 🦜 & Rosie the Resistance 🦜 @HistoryNewbie]

She's wearing shorts.

[Newbie the History 🦜 & Rosie the Resistance 🦜 @HistoryNewbie]

@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!

[Newbie the History 🦜 & Rosie the Resistance 🦜 @HistoryNewbie]

PEEEEEEEEEEP

[Newbie the History 🦜 & Rosie the Resistance 🦜 @HistoryNewbie]

I call her Rosie the Peep because it sounds like a mafia name.

And she's a tough Street Bird.

[Newbie the History 🦜 & Rosie the Resistance 🦜 @HistoryNewbie]

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.

[Newbie the History 🦜 & Rosie the Resistance 🦜 @HistoryNewbie]

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.
