Happy talking talking birdie talk

Note: in the 4 days since this, Chi Chi has now added “baby boy,” “baby bird,” “who’s a good boy/baby boy/Chi Chi,” “Chi Chi baby,” “Chi Chi boy,” “pretty boy,” several whistles, and a Dolores nose beep very clearly and definitively to his vocabulary.

It’s dangerous, here, take me



Chichi doesn’t like to let me out of sight lately, and he keeps grooming/guarding/feeding me/bringing me presents, so I think he knows I’m still upset about the fire. Parents move next week though so if you can help with physical donations, let me know, or you can also donate via Paypal at jupiterstarchild @ gmail.com, thank you!

Don’t be sad, Mommy, I beep for you!


Thanks so much to those who have reached out about the Marshall Fire destroying my parents and my home. They have a place to live now for a year or two, so I can start fielding in person donations of items for them soon. Unfortunately, I don’t qualify for much monetarily from disaster relief funds, and obviously can’t take physical donations until I leave Japan in the spring, so…I am not doing well. But Chichi wants me to be visible At All Times lately so he can cheer me up, that’s sweet.

Hey all, Chichi’s mom here. I hate to do this but my parents home was destroyed in the Marshall Canyon fire in Colorado this afternoon: they had less than 30mins to evacuate, they grabbed a few days of meds and clothes, wallets and ID, phones, a tablet, and their birds (not even a travel cage, they shoved the big one in the back seat ), and ran. They’re safe at my aunt’s up north and my brother and his wife and pets are safe as well (their neighborhood was evacuated but didn’t burn yet at least), but everything in that house I didn’t list (including, sadly, their fish)? Gone. Everything they owned, plus 85% of my belongings (excepting only what is here in Japan), including wedding stuff, every one of my books, CDs, DVDs, family heirlooms, childhood toys, instruments, my dad’s art studio and all of his work….everything. So I’m out almost everything, and they’re homeless heading into 2022, with the four birbs, too.

We are planning to move back to the states in April/May (with the birb), and now we won’t have a place to stay, and my parents don’t even have a week of clothes or meds. If anyone is able to help, either by donating funds (you can specify for me or for my parents, they need it more but we do, too) or items (say, bird stuff, clothes, books, whatever), could you please get in touch? Thank you. Be safe. Happy New Year.

Christmas? No, it birbthday! My pictures!!!

Happy 4 month hatch day, Chichi!
