The Upside Down Inventor
Your Aquarius bird has made up a word. Nobody in the house ever said it, and the kettle definitely did not. They say it with total confidence several times a day. Ruled by Saturn and Uranus, this is the budgie who prefers hanging upside down from the cage roof and the cockatiel who ignores the fancy toy for the cardboard it came in.
As a fixed air sign, your Aquarius is friendly, curious and wonderfully independent. They love people on their own terms, and they love ideas, especially odd ones: a new way to climb, a new sound, a new use for a paper cup. Life with them is never boring and rarely predictable.
Five things that make your Aquarius bird tick
- Word inventorSounds get blended into all new words, used proudly. Nobody knows what they mean. Everyone knows they matter.
- Upside down thinkerHanging from the cage roof is a perfectly good way to watch the world. Better, honestly.
- Box over toyThe fancy toy is ignored while its plain cardboard box becomes a treasure.
- Friendly and freeThey love company and also enjoy solo time on a project of their own.
- Remix artistWhistle a tune and they add a strange new ending, different every time.
How to love a Aquarius bird
- Offer safe, unusual enrichment like plain cardboard, paper cups and bird safe wooden blocks.
- Whistle a tune and answer their remix with delight.
- Allow independent play on a play stand while you stay close by.
- Say their invented words back. It is a conversation, of a kind.
- Rearrange the play stand now and then for something new to figure out.
Very Aquarius behavior
- Says a word no human has ever said, with perfect confidence.
- Hangs upside down to watch television, apparently for the better angle.
- Adds a beep of their own to the end of the microwave beep.
Your Aquarius does things their own way, on their own timeline. Tricks are learned, then improved, then renamed.
