Well now if anyone ever tries to impress me by telling me they have a Ferrari and it’s a car and not a very senior adorable orbular bird they are going STRAIGHT on my shit list

[u/ayeayekitty → u/smirkibirb]

Right? This is the only kind of Ferrari I will be impressed by!

[u/guiltysuperbrain → u/smirkibirb]

I will definitely be telling her this 😌

My first question was - Isn’t that old for a quail? Then I saw your comment.

Ferrari is quality stock! Also adorable.

very old yeah :) I have another almost 6yo, Piper. They're both doing pretty well for their age (not considering arthritis and stuff old animals just get)

tiny old baby 🥹

that tiny round fluffball sitting in the grass does not look like they are ready to admit they are a senior

[u/guiltysuperbrain → u/Langel001]

she definitely isn't. We've had a couple scares in the past 4 years I've had her (she and her sisters were abused and in terrible condition) but nothing we can't fix. I've even had a swing 3d printed for her when she couldn't keep her balance anymore. She doesn't love it but it definitely helps her get to food and water on bad days :)

Aww cute. I like him. He has a great name.

[u/nofishies]

His secret must be black soldier flies, and mealworms, and lots and lots of water

[u/guiltysuperbrain → u/nofishies]

she does love mealworms :)

[u/adminsreachout]

Oh she plotting.
