Figures. New /jp/ doesn't know him anyway. Anyways, you will be missed, Tora. Goodbye.

This isn't /jp/. This is the epic board for /v/, /a/, and /r9k/ goers to hang out and have fun.

Wait, Tora's male? But it has a female coloration.

I never knew about him, but this makes me sad

>>13039143
Spaghetti bird is dead, too.

No, it lives on in my heart.

Birds are for nerds.

Where were you when Tora was kill?
I was at home taking it easy when read jp thread
"Tora is kil"

>>13038505
Japan has house fires? How?

>>13040882
Houses are so frail you can't use shoes inside.
Also their power line system is awful.

>>13038505

>before viewers would watch him burn to death.
That's fucked up, good thing the power went out

>>13041214
Hopefully the smoke killed him before the flames, that's usually the case in instances such as this. Still, poor little guy.

Fucking barbarians.

A cockatiel is fine too.

Why is the temperature slowly going up O_O

>>13043683
I AM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW

>>13039112
Maybe. In some cockatiel mutations, male and female look pretty much alike.

>>13044557
That would be even more fucked up than MM/DD/YYYY

>>13042118
How would you know if dying suffocated in smoke is less painful than being burned alive?

>>13038505
The bird is missing

>>13045690
Because I tried them both, and coughing and suffocating is nowhere as painful as burning.
To got into more details, I almost died to coal smoke once, and I once burned one of my finger with an iron.
The pain of the burning is horribly awful compared to the smoke filling your lungs, and yet it was just a minor burning.

This is too cute.

Japanese bird having sweet dreams.

Are cockatiels good pets, /jp/?

What time will he wake up?

>>13061321
Better than lovebirds.
Those fuckers bite.
Cocktails are true love. "Lovebirds" are hate incarnate.

turtles are better than any of those tho.

>>13039112
That breed is harder to sex visually to compare males or females. Natural greys for example have bright orange cheeks and yellower facial feathers for males while females are duller colored and their orange cheeks are less pronounced.

Cockatiels are fun. Tora looks like my female cockatiel.

Who woke the bird? He looked scared.

>>13061338
But cute female cockatiels are love, they like to cuddle on your cheeks or rub against your face while making little peeps and meeps and eating your snacks!

>>13038505
Why is his name Tora? Is he a jew?

>>13061321
I used to let my pair sleep on top of their cage. After a few weeks of that, I would wake up to find them sleeping on the edge of my pillow waiting for me to wake up.

>>13061675
Its name was Willow. It died last year.

>>13061735
Were they both males? Females? Bonded pair of a male and female? That sounds pretty sweet either way. I'd just be worried about rolling around and accidentally crushing my tiels.

>>13061338
Cockatiels bite, too. Not all of them, though. I used to have a white one who, no matter how mad you made him, would only angrily lick you.

>>13061749
They were very close males. Since they stayed on the very edge of the pillow, rolling over wasn't really an issue.

>>13061758
Cockatiels only really bite if their super scared or shy or feel threatened. My female cockatiel would also only basically light bite since she was very passive and docile.

My male however was a rescue and could very easily draw blood. Love Birds and Budgies are a lot more aggressive and bully cockatiels, latter have even been known to peck off a cockatiel's toes.

>>13061779
My grandpa had a bad habit of thumb-wrestling with cockatiels, so they always turned really vicious. I had one that nearly killed one of my other birds. That was the only one of my seven that I had to wear gloves around.

Tora is awake!

>>13061879
tora is currently going batshit

http://pastebin.com/Y3ATadnY
here's how to make the camera loop through all four preset locations.

>>13061332
He's still napping, why is Tora so lazy?

>>13062752
It's not napping, it's sobbing because its owner won't play with it and all it has is a camera that sometimes makes sounds and moves from side to side.

Being a cocktail is a sad life.

>>13063085
Poor Tora.

He needs a girlfriend. Don't sad cockatiels get depressed and pluck out their own feathers as a way of suicide?

>>13063085
I don't think a sad cockatiel would survive for 10 years if that was true.

>>13062285
How does this live maneuvering work anyway? Can only one user at a time control it or just whoever clicks?

>>13062285
be sure to control the iterations if you are going to use an infinite loop. we don't want the owner taking away the feature.
also you don't need to unroll the loop, since the only part of the URL that changes is the data value in the direction query. also you dont want to use wget as it touches /dev/null every time which is unnecessary. just use curl and redirect stdout to devnull.

try this:

#!/bin/sh

w=5
while true;do
sleep $w
for ((i=1;i <= 4;i++));do
curl -s "http://www.scorpius.jp:8484/nphControlCamera?Direction=Preset&Data=$i&Resolution=640x480&Quality=Standard&RPeriod=65535&Size=STD&PresetOperation=Move&Language=1&Type=Preset" 1>/dev/null && sleep 3 || exit 1
done;
done

change w to increase or decrease the time between each movement.

Does the camera scare Tora? Especially when its dark and supposed to be sleep time for him? He doesn't seem to like it.

>>13061321
They would be the perfect pet if they didnt shit EVERYWHERE, FOR DAYS

Tora is a girl not a boy, otherwise someone explain the cockatiel egg in the food bowl.

>>13066723
http://scorpius.jp/ it's a girl here

>>13065788
It does seem to make a noise. When it was seeping and you move the camera you can tell it hears it and wakes it up.

Also, I don't remember that egg being there yesterday.

Does this pet owner ever clean the cage? It's starting to look filthy.

>>13068390
He cleans it least once per pet

Saving thread from the wave of /v/ cancer.

Is Tora okay? I just choose not to believe the fire happened.

Click the link in the OP and check out yourself by rotating the camera.

Does anyone here have pet cockatiels?

>>13075643
I did, it flew away after 6 or so years. It looked back as if to say "bye"
It was a male and was the sweetest thing ever
It probably froze to death or starved
At least it got to be free and see what a horrible thing the real world is

>>13075728
Wow that's terrible, anon. I had two pet cockatiels, a male and female. We thought the female was a male at first until our older male started mounting her.

We had them both for about 10 years until the male flew out the front door when we had people working on remodeling our kitchen in some rainy April morning, and the female half a year later because someone left her cage door open when putting her outside.

I think my male could still be alive because he's very violent but the female is probably dead. She was very sweet.

>>13079197
i mean, it sucks that my cockatiel flew away but at least it got a taste of being free before it croaked, so I'm happy about that part. we looked for it (pretty sure it was a male even though we gave it a feminine name) but to no avail.

>>13080813
>it was a male even though we gave it a feminine name
What was its name?

>>13080912
Cassie

>>13080813
>>13080919
Cassie sounds like am ambiguous name, like Sam, it works with both genders.

>>13080813
Both of mine flew away due to my parents when I was out of the country being kind of lazy about taking care of making sure our tiels stayed in their cage.

It sucks. Though really I was more hung up about the loss of our female tiel, Snowy, then the male tiel. Would do NEET things with me like lay on my shoulders while I played games or did other stuff. And sip wine.

tora has a new egg

Where's Tora? Can't find him with the camera.
D-Did he really became 焼き鳥?

Is that round thing glued on the stick an egg?
If so, how did he do that?

>>13082032
>>13081971
Same egg from >>13067924
He must have tried to body heat it.

>>13082087
no, the owner took away the egg a couple days ago. This is a new egg

>>13082158
If you take a female cockatiel's egg away too soon, it will induce panic in the hen and she will immediately attempt to lay a new clutch or at least a single more egg as soon as possible.

Removing eggs with a single female cockatiel requires proper timing and handling. Too soon, and the tiel will lay eggs to the point its killing her either from one getting stuck in her vent and causing blockage, a serious condition.

Or b) She depletes her proteins and calcium stores in her body. I had the former situation and had to pay a lot of money to take her to the vet and have the lady coax and remove the egg from her.

>>13082204
>had to pay a lot of money to take her to the vet
Why didn't you just get a new pet?

>>13082225
>Why didn't you just get a new pet?
As corny as it sounds but because she is irreplaceable to me.

>>13082243

Nothing corny about loving a pet. Only sociopaths think otherwise.

>>13082243
cute

>>13080813
> it was a male even though we gave it a feminine name
I sort of did the opposite by accident. I had a female I named Akira, after a spaceship from a Star Trek movie. It wasn't until later that I looked into it and found out it was a Japanese male name (though I think it can be female, too?), and that I'd been pronouncing it wrong as well. But ah-KEE-rah sounded pretty, so her name stuck.

>>13075643
My family and I've had a bunch. Sadly, the mutations always had a tendency to get tumors and die.

>>13082204
That's why I think my next one will be a male. Females are usually sweeter and cudlier, but the egg laying got old really fast. And my females did it ALL THE TIME. (Cockatiels aren't seasonal, they're opportunistic breeders; they'll breed whenever cpnditions are good, which, if you take good care of them, is always.)

Oh, and the smell, my God the smell. No getting away with cleaning the cages every other day, I had to clean them two or three times a day.

>>13084134
I'd rather have another female tiel then a male tiel. Sure females are quieter, less likely to whistle or sing or inclined to mimic voices or words, but like you said they are FAR more cuddlier and sweeter to interact with then males.

As for smell, I always found the males to be worse since they eat more often and poop more often as a result. I'd clean their cage about three to four times a week when both were living together but by the female being alone, maybe once a week. Just throwout the paper towels or newspaper or whatever at the bottom of the cage, rinse and clean the cage, wipe it off, let it dry and viola its clean.

>>13038505

>>13084134
Cockatiels do have a mating season. If you adjust the amount of daylight they see, you can sometimes trick them into thinking it's the off season and they'll stop laying eggs all the time.

>>13086652
Cockatiels also get very "heated" during spring and summer seasons. But its less of an issue with males compared to females.

>>13091371
Bird Onahole!

Eggs still seems to be safe or that is some weird birdcake.

>>13097174

Stop being a fatass tub of lard.

>>13104224
You do know that cockatiels naturally in the wild of Australia can survive in severely arid environments right?

I wrote the spoilered text below before actually reading your quoted post and finding the context of your reply, but it seemed like a waste to just delete and ignore my mistake so I'm gonna post it anyways to remind me of my mistakes.
>>13104441
You do know those cockatiels are born and raised by their papa and mama birds in those enviroments and aren't suddenly inserted in it after being raised in a cage where they get all the food and water they need in the same place without having to search for it, RIGHT?!

>>13104224
>I'd be sweating by 24

Are you fucking morbidly obese or do you live in Siberia or something?

>>13104704
My female rare breed tiel (pearl-lutino) was hand raised, my normal grey male wasn't. The latter would have no problem surviving here save winter time.

>>13104831
I live in a northern country. My room is currently 19 degrees and I'm in a t-shit and shorts. And no, I'm not obese.

>>13104441
I was commenting more on the room temperature itself rather than than the current living conditions of the cockatiel, if that makes sense. I just found it really surprising for the room temperature to be so high. I guess Japanese people are more accustomed to higher temperatures than I had thought.

>>13104950
It's only starts getting annoying after it starts going above 32 or so.

Didn't Aussies make it impossible to import tiels to the US and other countries now?

I can't believe they keep this bird locked up in this small cage for it's whole life. that's just cruel

They suck. They're noisy and shit everywhere. You have to clean their cage daily and I have to coerce my bird often into eating anything except seeds.

I love my cockatiel, though. I just wouldn't recommend getting one.

>>13111261
I only cleaned my cockatiel's cage twice a week. And usually set aside time on Sunday's when its warm outside in the Spring or Summer to spray down her cage.

Cockatiels are not particularly noisy as birds, and even less so compared to other parrots in general; especially Macaws, Budgiers, Parakeets, and so on. It helps tiels are super docile to begin with.

Their good pets for those who are novices to birds.

Toucans are cooler.

Though wikipedia says they're poisonous, but considering it's wikipedia, it's probably bullshit.

>>13116062
Are their bites as strong or stronger than lovebirds or are they sweet and soft like cockatiels'?

Is it illegal to keep one as pet where you live?

>>13116235
I never got bitten because I have two large dogs who most of the time scare them away. I've scared them off myself a few times but I was always careful to stay at a distance because I've seen some people get hurt by them. Nothing horrible but like, they'll bruise you really bad if they bite.

And yes, it's illegal to own them unless you have special government authorization. The ones around here are all wild.

My female cockatiel ate some avocado from my plate.

Is she going to be OK?

>>13117269
Why wouldn't she?

>>13117269
>>13120083
You better monitor because the first result google pulled up on cockatiels and avocado gave me a hit where a person was worried their female tiel was poisoned by eating avocados. The owner described the tiel as fluffed up, sitting in a corner, and not eating food afterwards.

The main reason avacodos are not healthy for cockatiels is the persin in them.

Please don't fed her any avacodos, even if she's fine don't risk in the future.

>>13061321

I had one for nearly 20 years.

He had flown away and come back 3 times and was such a healthy and friendly bird that it was hard to imagine life without him.

Fell into a food bucket (not the first time) and panicked to death while I was at work last October.

I buried him that same day. But my brother finally convinced me to dig him up after 5 and put him in a jar. Something about pet cloning being already here and that it's better to have most of him together rather than only have bones that can be scattered or blend in with the dirt.

http://www.myfriendagain.com/

Problem for me is that current tech does not support birds and current cloning/dna preservation requires fresh samples of 5 days or less. Long past for my friend.

Whether or not cloning does happen. The hope that I will see my friend or at least raise his successor one day does give me comfort. I've raised other birds before, but none that were as special as that one.

>>13133520
I just used the little camera button at the top left. I think I was just lucky to have good lighting, which just made the picture look good.

>>13136367
My male tiel flew away one rainy cold April morning back in 2009, leaving his female mate and seeking freedom in the wilds of suburbia. Kind of sad about it still but its been almost 6 years and moved on from it.

Worst thing I think my female tiel ever experienced to my personal horror and shame was her being a Cinnamon Pearl makes her very easy to blend into a plethora of tanned, brown, and amber or white/grey persian carpets. Was looking for one, and could hear her but not see here since she was camoflaged on teh ground and accidentally stepped on her left foot's back twos, breaking them.

Felt like shit though the vet told me it doesn't really handicap a cockatiel, she just gave her some medication to deal with the pain and straightened one two and amputated the other. Still felt and do feel awful about that.

You never realize until the end how tiny and fragile cockatiels are.

If it makes you feel better, there's always the chance that someone could have found it and is taking care of it. Happened to me; someone found a budgie so we took it in. We put up signs saying we found it, but no one claimed it. It's the strangest bird we've ever had.

I have this picture from October 2010, which I snapshoot from a webcam site. Could it be the same bird, after all these years? I don't remember where I got the link back then.

Also hello from the dead Japanese Bird thread, this thread is my new home!

>>13137153
That's how I got my last one. Someone my sister went to school with claimed to have found it in her front yard, and her parents wouldn't let her keep it. My other cockatiel had recently died, so my sister arranged for me to take it in.

>>13137153
Well I appreciate the effort to make me feel better but I live in an area where here in Virginia there are many raptors, particularly kestrels and Peregrine falcons (fastest bird in the world) as well as many different types of owls.

I doubt the little guy survived more then a few nights unless he lucked out.

>>13137206
Looks like it. It even has the Tora on the bottom left.

Are you the idiot who stepped on his bird or the idiot who desecrated its body after burial?

>>13159747
Wow, you're very stupid. I said I stepped on the back of her toes because her plumage and feathers let her blend with dark greys, and browns in the carpets we have in our house, by accident.
