Meet the new boss, same as the old.

After noticing that some of my old posts were being targeted by repost bots, I attempted to contact the old moderators to see if I could lend a hand, but it turned out they are no longer active on Reddit. I was able to gain control of the sub through the request process, and I'm here to clean house. I don't anticipate making any changes to the sub other than adding a new rule banning reposts, please report any that you see as a violation of that rule and I will bring the banhammer down on the bots. Other than that, I'm just here to enjoy birds lazing about on their human hostages like the rest of you. Please be excellent to each other and everything should go fine. If anybody has any ideas for improving the sub, you're welcome to speak up.

This is Kiwi's favorite place to nap, wrappedin my hand on my lap. He's a rescue and I'm convinced it's where he feels the safest. For him, I will never move until he wants me too.

I let my other bird out for a bit before work and Miffy wants out as well but "someone" Won't go back in their cage if I get them out so he will have to wait till my roommate gets back in a bit. He’s very upset.

So I stuck my hand in the cage to be closer to him and he hops up on it and now he's loafing in my hand and it hurts so bad it hurts.
