- after brushing teeth together and him bathing, there was a long cuddle with #Gelbi, where he sat on my knee and leaned on my hand while drying
- did some coding to improve #WikiTreeBEE's handling of #Wikipedia redirects when searching locations at #Wikidata
- managed to cut off some annoying branches from a plant near our outside stairs

#Gelbi's favorite person received a (partially) different hair color and curls. He is not amused!

#Gelbi seems to recover well from his injury. Yesterday he was picking up some crumbs from my plate, when I left him out of sight for a minute. He instantly went into #Graui's bathtub and started splashing. The vet said he's not allowed to bathe until today. Let's hope yesterday evening counts. You can't blame him for wanting to get the remaining blood from the feathers.

Like People, European #Parrots Do Have Their Own Regional Dialects https://medium.com/gardening-birding-and-outdoor-adventure/like-people-european-parrots-do-have-their-own-regional-dialects-2066d4836b8c
Multilevel Bayesian analysis of #MonkParakeet contact calls shows dialects between European cities https://academic.oup.com/beheco/article/35/1/arad093/7444942
"Europe is unusual because it isn’t home to any native #parrot species. But despite this, there is a rather large and diverse crowd of parrot species that have established populations after escaping, or being released. They tend to live in close proximity to people in cities"

Probably inspired by @SeaFury / Pete, #Gelbi also felt the need of getting wet

Finally got the neighborhood wild quakers on camera. There’s a colony that lives atop a cell tower a couple of streets over. Their screeches are unmistakable.
