This is Worrying. The same day that I mentioned the fact that Trevor's inability to eat a Tweezer Cricket will help us tell him apart from Beverley, he FINALLY eats a Tweezer Cricket. WHAT IS TREVOR PLANNING?
Presumably Jens really enjoys these Eyeball Massages, given that he gets them on quite a regular basis and seems to be willing to skip Snack time if necessary -- but he doesn't appear to be enjoying himself.
The Cyprian Green Toad is the only Toad species on the island of Cyprus due to its mastery of contract law. Their agreement with the Cyprian government, drafted by a Toad named Bobogumbus, establishes them as the island's exclusive amphibian species in perpetuity. It's ironclad.
If it ever becomes difficult to tell the Difference between Trevor and Beverley, this will be the Key Indicator. (Trevor could not convincingly pretend to enjoy a Tweezer Cricket!)
Thank you.
I met him once, almost 40 years ago. I have no idea if he's any good at home repairs.
After hearing about this Toad, you are no doubt wondering, "Is there a Phillips-headed Toad?" Why, yes, there is. It can be found throughout Europe and North America. Neither Toad should be employed for home repair or improvement purposes (although having a Toad present improves most situations).
Lego, a blue and white parakeet with a bad leg and wing, who passed away this morning, rests her bad leg on the edge of a wooden bird playground and feeding areas which is sitting on top of a black bird cage. Lego did this because it allowed her to mimic the posture of non-handicapped birds.
When she was around the other birds, Lego always preferred to stand in a spot that allowed her to rest her bad leg on a part of the cage or whatever else was handy, so that she looked just like everyone else.
This goes without saying, but when Beverley and Trevor grow to the Size of Planets and take their roles as our New Amphibian Overlords, they will absolutely remember all the times when you Moistened them.
Long Frog is definitely an Icon of Bravery. He conquers his fears every day! If Long Frog can have a Long Sit on the Hand, I can definitely ask for directions to the lavatory!
Jens should definitely be First for Dinner tonight! His Magnificent Wrinkly Beard of First makes him look particularly Reflective. It is obvious that he has given Dinner a Lot of Thought.
Thank you. She was beautiful and indomitable!
Lego, a blue and white parakeet with a bad leg and wing, who passed away this morning, hangs from the mouth of a hollowed out coconut that's hanging from the ceiling of a large black bird cage. She did this a lot.
Lego's bad leg and separated wing made it impossible for her to fly; the best she could manage was a controlled fall. So she climbed everywhere with her beak and one good leg. She was *very* strong. We did our best to make the entire bird room navigable for her.
Lego, a blue and white parakeet with a bad leg and wing, who has just passed away, sits in a hollowed out coconut that's hanging from the ceiling of a large black bird cage. She is shown with one of her many unfertilized eggs. Eventually the strain of laying all of those eggs, combined with her mobility issues, took its toll on her.
Handicapped parakeet Lego has passed away. She was struggling to eat and drink and we kept her warm and comfortable until she slipped away.
Lego never let her bad leg and wing stop her from going where she wanted to go or doing what she wanted to do. She was incredibly strong and very well loved.
You should. Toads are sweet and lovely.
In this case Long Frog seems like the more discerning Finger Afficionado -- Pinky Finger is, of course, well known as the filet mignon of the hand.
Well, to be fair, *all* toads are incontinent by human standards.
It is very important to practice your BLAAAAARRRGGHH!! A properly timed BLAAAAARRRGGHH!! can permit you to swallow several Frogs' dinner at once (rather than just your own).
There is a Powerful Connection -- possibly Platonic but definitely Magnetic -- that draws Trevor and Beverley together, wherever they may happen to be.
Like a lot of handicapped birds, Lego is pretty skittish. The fact that she let me pick her up was a sign that something wasn't right. I was worried that she was egg-bound.
Even then, her one good foot is incredibly strong and she pinched the heck out of me.
Yes, that's why we are trying to leave her alone.
Lego, a blue and white parakeet with a bad leg, sits on a wooden bitd ladder in a large black bird cage.
Handicapped parakeet Lego is having a difficult week. After laying a bunch of (unfertilized) eggs and suffering a mild cloacal prolapse (which we luckily caught and fixed) she has been forced out of the coconut by alpha female Aoife O'Birdovan. Sorry Lego!
I finally lost my shit about so-called AIs, LLMs, enshittification & everything fucking evil that @officialgrammarly.bsky.social is doing. I'm fucking furious, and not just about what 1 company has done. An open letter to Grammarly & the rest of the LLM hype machine www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...

These highly specific names do not directly address the existence of more bizarre toad species. The Southern Octagonal-gland Toad is one of the world's oddest-looking amphibians, while the Wet Forest Toad is essentially identical to the Dry Forest Toad, but incontinent.
When Beverley and Trevor Yawn, you can almost see all the way into their (respective) Stomachs! If you are a Cricket, this could probably be considered Foreshadowing.
Round Frog may be Smiling, but it's interesting that Jacket (Extra Tasty or Otherwise) is the only meal at which she is content to eat only her own share of the "food".
Long Frog is Very Polite. This alone should justify granting him a few Extra Snacks (which he will then Politely Eat, probably without a Side Order of Fingers).
Round Frog's Heart may be in the Right Place, but it's difficult to say how this particular sort of Help might actually be Helpful. Then again, I am not a Frog, so really, what do I know about the situation?
It is Unwise to do anything that might cause Trevor (or Beverley, for that matter) to have a Bad Mood because of his Uncanny Ability to Melt your Brain with his Eldritch Mental Powers.
