Quaker Parrot Proudly Showing Off Her New 'Floof' Is Too Cute to Handle
As a pet parent, nothing feels more gratifying than watching a furry, feathered, or scaly friend living their best life. Whether they're relaxing on the couch with Dad, napping in the sunshine, or enjoying a nutritious meal, there are so many ways to help rescue pets feel their very best. When you have a happy pet on your hands, you can pat yourself on the back for a job well done!
The bird rescuers behind @the_green_bird_brigade work hard to give their pet parrots everything they need to thrive, but moments like Auggie's June 5 milestone make it all worthwhile. Auggie is a beautiful blue Quaker Parrot who has been living with a hormonal condition that results in feather loss and plucking. However, now that she's on an effective new medication, she has the cutest new 'floof'.
Just wait until you see her!
What a beautiful bird! Auggie seems so chatty and happy with herself as she sings and dances for Mom, and no one can blame her one bit. Regrowing feathers is a big deal, and she deserves every millisecond of her celebration.
"Auggie is looking super fluffy. Do I spy pantaloons?" one commenter asked. 'Pantaloons' is the cute nickname for the fluffy, small feathers that grow on some birds' legs, and if you look closely, you can see that Auggie is growing some of her own. After losing most of the feathers on her front to a hormonal condition, this is a major improvement!Of course, this talking parrot charms people with her songs just as much as her fluff. This one is called "Bacon Pancakes," and it's one of her all-time favorites. If you listen closely, you can hear exactly why they named her song after breakfast food. It really sounds like she's saying 'bacon pancakes!'
Quaker Parrots like Auggie can be green or blue, but they all have a flat, downturned beak and small black eyes. They may not all be as resilient and loving as Auggie is, but they make wonderful pets for loving, dedicated pet parents. Looking for more PetHelpful updates?

United flight with over 200 passengers declares 'mayday' with engine failure after takeoff from D.C.
A United Airlines flight bound for Germany declared "mayday, mayday, mayday" with an engine failure last month, forcing the jet to hastily retreat to Washington, D.C., tower recordings and the carrier said on Monday. The pilot of Flight 108, headed to Munich on July 25, declared that his left engine had failed and he was "declaring an emergency, mayday, mayday, mayday," according to cockpit and air traffic control audio published on the YouTube channel You can see ATC. Flight 108 was headed to Munich when the Boeing 787 with 219 passengers and 11 crew members had to turn back for Dulles International Airport, United said in a statement on Monday. Air traffic control and the pilot calmly hashed out details about the return as the plane dumped fuel to adjust for the proper weight needed for landing, the recordings revealed. The tower cleared out nearby air traffic for Flight 108's return to Dulles. "Speed at your discretion," air traffic control said. "Nobody behind you, nobody in front, sir." The jet "returned to Washington Dulles shortly after takeoff to address a mechanical issue," according to United. "The plane landed safely, and all passengers deplaned normally at the gate," the Chicago-based carrier continued. "The flight was subsequently canceled and we arranged alternate travel arrangements to take customers to their destination as soon as possible." The FAA said in a statement that it's aware of "possible engine issues" aboard the United flight and is investigating. Flight 108 was scheduled to leave Dulles at 5:40 p.m. EST and soar above the Atlantic overnight before landing at Munich International Airport at 5:40 a.m. CEST the next morning. But this edition of Flight 108 took off from Dulles at 6:11 p.m. EDT and landed back at the same airport at 8:49 p.m., according to the airline tracking database FlightAware.

Embrace Peak Tomato Season With This Simple, Saucy Recipe
I was surprised recently when my 4-year-old daughter told me what she wanted on her morning toast: butter and olive oil. 'Both at the same time?' I asked. She stood firm: 'Yes, Dad, both at the same time.' Butter is delicious. Olive oil is delicious. Why not have both? I've since applied this thinking more broadly. It's what makes this simple recipe a tomato-season game-changer.
