Cockatoo Finally Warms Up to Tiny Parrot Sibling in Moment of Pure Magic
There's nothing as beautiful or as aggravating as the bond between two siblings. One day they're besties and the next they're frenemies – or at least that's what it seems like. Though, family members can always find a way back to loving each other at the end of the day.
Wendy Albright, also known as @theparrotlady on TikTok, can vouch for that. Recently, she gave a peak into her life as a pet mom to Sweet Pea the Cockatoo and Thyme the Parrot. 'Here's one of the rare times they actually seemed to like each other (for about three seconds). Kids, I tell ya!' she said in the video post caption. And this quiet minute between this pair will give you all the feels.
Talk about a magical moment! If you've ever had the pleasure of having a sibling, then you know that getting on each other's nerves can be a pastime. When it comes to this duo, Albright gave a bit of background on them explaining, 'Thyme and Sweet Pea have always had a complicated relationship. Before I adopted Polly, Thyme was constantly trying to become SP's BFF, and honestly, SP wasn't always that nice to her.'
It can be tough adjusting to a newly adopted family member. Luckily, it seems like these two have somewhat worked out their differences. In the video, Thyme is leaning into Sweet Pea. While Sweet Pea looks like they'd rather have some me time and even lifted their leg to potentially push her away, they don't. Instead, Sweet Pea lets Thyme rest beside them, and that's progress. Ask any parent.
The kids will fight, and that's a given in any sibling relationship. And these two have a history of sibling rivalry, but it looks like it's recently downgraded to just annoying each other. Just check out this obvious teasing Sweet Pea is directing at Thyme in this video. It's the 'I'm not toughing you' sibling squabble every parent is familiar with, and you will laugh out loud at this cockatoo's antics.
Mom better enjoy this current moment of peace between them while it lasts. They're sure to find something to squawk about soon. Keep up with these two's playful high jinks by following @theparotlady's page on TikTok.

Jessica Biel reveals workout that gave her an ‘unattainable' peach-shaped butt on ‘The Better Sister'
No ifs, ands — but definitely some butts. Prime Video's new thriller series 'The Better Sister' has earned lots of fans, thanks in large part to leading ladies Jessica Biel and Elizabeth Banks. But the thing that no one can get over is how absolutely incredible Biel, 43, looked in that white dress — in fact, Biel has heard so much about how terrific her tush looked that she's sharing the workout that got it that way. 4 The middle-aged mom of two was literally slaying in it. Prime Video 'Everyone is talking — or telling me that they're really enjoying — The Better Sister, which is amazing… and also talking about the white dress,' she said on TikTok, responding to a commenter who begged her to 'drop the workout routine.' But first, Biel said, let's temper our expectations. 'I wanted to share that that peach shape in that show is not maintainable unless you are living the strictest, most rigid lifestyle with your nutrition and fitness — which I cannot do,' she said. So while she got there for the series, keeping her butt like that full-time is, according to the star, a tall order. Having made everyone feel a little bit better about themselves, she went on to say that she is 'trying to get a little bit back towards that shape' and shared some of the workouts — courtesy of Pilates guru Ashley Brown — that gave her that delectable derriere. 4 'I wanted to share that that peach shape in that show is not maintainable unless you are living the strictest, most rigid lifestyle with your nutrition and fitness…which I cannot do,' she said. Tiktok/@jessbiel Barbell hip thrusts Lie with your upper back supported on a bench, feet flat on the floor. Drive through heels to lift your hips until shoulders‑to‑knees form a straight line, squeezing the glutes at the top. If you don't have barbells, you can also use double dumbbells — as Biel does. Do 10 reps and 4 sets. 4 Jessica Biel performing Romanian deadlifts. Tiktok/@jessbiel Romanian deadlifts Stand tall holding dumbbells or a bar. Keeping your knees slightly bent, hinge at your hips and lower yourself down with your back straight, then squeeze hamstrings/glutes to stand back up. Also 10 reps and 4 sets. Hamstring curls Lie on your back with your feet on a stability ball. Lift hips, then curl the ball toward your glutes with your feet. Repeat 10-12 times with three sets. 4 The thing that no one can get over is how absolutely incredible Biel, 43, looked in that white dress. Prime Video Goblet step through lunge Hold a dumbbell or kettlebell at your chest, then step backward (or laterally) into a deep lunge. Three sets of 6-8 reps. Cable/band medial‑glute kickbacks Anchor a resistance band or cable low and attach it to your ankle. Extend your leg straight back and up to activate the glute, especially the side/lateral muscles. Two sets of 10-12 reps, using a stronger band for the second set. @jessbiel Replying to @tori I've heard y'all are talking about the white dress 😏 I'm no expert but I want people to be healthy, safe, and strong. Remember to warm up and cool down, and let me know what other workouts you'd like to see! A big thank you to #AshleyBrown and @Ben Bruno for being the best teachers. ♬ BIRDS OF A FEATHER OFFICIAL INSTRUMENTAL – Dan Swift Del Rey Kettlebell deadbugs Lie on your back, holding a kettlebell with arms extended. Simultaneously lower opposite arm and leg toward the floor with control. Twelve reps total and two sets. Proving that she is in, fact, human, Biel was out of breath by the end of the video. 'Whoo, I'm tired,' she said. 'My body is not 20 years old anymore.'

Man Buys House, Inspector Remembers 'Secret' From Childhood in the Basement
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A Kansas father and son were shocked to discover a long-hidden secret lurking in the basement of their home. Nick Lerner, a real estate agent from Lawrence, Kansas, took to his TikTok, @ to reveal what they found underneath a refrigerator in the previously hidden bowels of the property. The two videos chronicling their discovery and exploration of what was found have gone viral, and with good reason. Lerner's story starts back during what was supposed to be a routine home inspection for one of his clients. Lerner told Newsweek: "The inspector that was doing the home inspection said, 'Nick, I've been meaning to tell you this, but there's a secret room in your house, and discovering it was just about the coolest thing I can remember from my childhood.'" It turned out the inspector was childhood friends with the boys from the family that had lived at the property prior to Lerner moving there. "He told us the location," Lerner said. "We used a crowbar to uncover the hatch." Dragging the refrigerator out of the way and pulling up a small wooden hatch, Lerner was presented with a set of metal steps descending into pure darkness. Lerner wasted little time in going to explore the space alongside his 17-year-old son. The videos posted to TikTok capture the first time Lerner and his son entered the mysterious space. Though it might have seemed daunting to some, given how long it had been closed off, Lerner's overriding emotions were "sheer and utter excitement." "We were very excited to find out what was down there," he said. "Although my son probably was a bit more reasonable and was concerned there might be trapped carbon dioxide or some snakes down there." What Lerner and his son found down there was a square space that could easily be turned into a small spare bedroom, home office or used for additional storage. Most U.S. homeowners would love a little more space. In a poll of 1,000 U.S. adults conducted by the storage service 1 in 4 said they needed more space. As a real estate agent, Lerner said he is already thinking about the potential. "I think we could really add some value if we turn it into a cool and unusual space," he added. "My wife wants to turn it into a wine cellar. I want to make it into a hidden grotto with a pool or something. It's fun to think of the possibilities." As for why the space exists, many commenting on the clip appeared to share the same theory that the space previously served as a root cellar; this would have been used to store food in a time before refrigeration was easily available in the home. While Lerner has big plans for the new room, he said it could prove useful in the short term as a storm shelter. "We're in Kansas in Tornado Alley," he said. He added that he is keen to take things slow in terms of deciding what they do with the room in the long-term. "We're in no rush to do anything and open to all of the possibilities," he said. "At the least, we've got to figure out how to make the stairs more usable and the room more accessible."
