I missed the Supergirl seasonal event, life just happened and I didn't go on enough adventures.
Krypto the Superdog and Clara the Chipmunk are really the only micropets I've ever wanted, I love em. I asked ChatGPT if there was a way for me to still get Krypto even though the event has ended and he said that a player could trade Krypto to me if we're friends
Is this true?
I'm so bummed I missed out on him :(
Gurl. YOU were singing the song. Don't start singing if you don't want me to finish the lyric.
Anyway. 🎶🎶🎶We found love right where we areee🎶🎶
Hi! Is there any way for me to see what I’ve gifted to a specific bird friend? If I see for example that someone’s missing a clock and I have one that I think matches I’ll gift it. 3 days later I see someone missing a clock and I can’t remember if I’ve given them one already and maybe they are anti clock so I don’t want to bother them with another!
Hello.
I have some things to say. Not as a moderator, but as a human being.
I have not been online in over a month due to family obligations.
What I logged into today, was appalling.
I say this in the most heartfelt way, just stop, just stop and actually think before you start typing.
Where has the empathy gone?
Where has the compassion for your neighbors gone?
Where has the human decency gone?
So many comments that are blatantly racist, ableist, degrading, condescending, rude, and more.
Does anyone of that make you feel better about yourselves?
Do you go to sleep with a clear conscience after you spew your hatred?
I live in the USA, where we have been dealing with, and watching our leadership commit the atrocities that you see on the TV and internet for centuries. This should be a place FREE from all of that, where people can be themselves and not be ridiculed or feel ostracized.
There is a reason that we have had an increase in deleting and/or locking posts, and/or comments, because you all can't act right!! We would like to not have to do that.
Have some self respect and some gosh dang decorum.
I do at least one breathing exercise every day. I really liked the animated circles. Now it’s just my naked birb breathing. I find it distracting. I get that they’re trying to simulate coregulation, but it’s too fake.
So one of the best tasks for this month is “lay in the grass and watch the clouds go by.” It’s super hot, im allergic to the heat and grass, I hate bugs, I hate the sun, and j hate the grass. So today I played in the rain. It was the best. I think I should be able to count it
Hey everyone! First off, this is not a drama post. Please keep things civil.
So, in the r/Finch subreddit there was a post discussing how the current event made them feel uncomfortable and weird as the event has weird undertones especially in the context of the 1950s, and how there are 2 blond wig options before any textured hair options. The comment thread on that was very civil (aside from some racists) and supportive of each other as many people were understandably wounded by Finch's carelessness. The post was then deleted by the mods, but I think the comments on that particular post still remain.
Someone else made a post about it and how gross that felt, and I made a post too. Again, respectful, civil, and plainly laying out the issues and weird implications and undertones. I think it's important to discuss this, so that those of us affected don't feel alone or crazy, and that the Finch devs can know what to do better in the future. Instead, the mods over there have deleted all posts and the comments on the posts following the original post, telling those commenters to only talk to the mods about this and not each other.
I'm just feeling weird that this month's event had a white, het coded couple set in the 1950s, which is an odd choice especially in today's world and with how diverse the Finch community is.
Anyways, anyone else feeling icky about all of this? Like the more the mods over there double down on it just cements more and more icky, othered feelings for me.
Here's a link to the original post's comments if you want to see what remains of things. The post itself has been deleted but I think you can still see the comments. If not, lmk and I'll post my screenshots :)
Have a lovely day everyone!
Oh no 😱 please tell me they didn’t take away the naked ice cream dance 😭 I LOVED seeing them SO happy and jumping up and down.

Let me try to clarify what I'm asking. You know how awhile back the app would trigger a "how are you feeling?" like three or four times a day, and that was when you'd pick your mood? So when they changed that, it no longer prompts, but there are still four slots that can be filled with moods, because it kind of worked like Morning/Afternoon/Evening/Night, I think. So if I select a mood in afternoon too late for it to count as a Morning Mood, I'm wondering what the cut-off is. So like, with that for example, I would assume before noon it would be a Morning Moon and after noon, it would be (obviously) an Afternoon mood.
So, with that clarified, does anyone know what time it switches from Morning to afternoon, to evening, to night? I want to try and see if I can use it to keep myself better aware of my mood changes throughout the day, but sometimes I'll forget or sometimes I'll mark it too late and it'll be an Evening Mood instead of a Morning Mood. So if I set myself a timer, I'd like to set it for the start of whatever Time of Day section I'm mood-tracking.
I know that was long winded, but I was having a hard time figuring out how to ask exactly what I was wondering, and I hope this made sense. Thank you in advance!
I feel bad. I have no idea what that person is going through. What if they got on again and saw a birb friend missing! I have had this happen before, when my depression was really bad, and I didn't get on much. Then I came back and saw a few birb friends missing from my tree, and it made me feel really sad :( I can also understand waiting for an active birb friend, though idk i have mixed feelings. What do y'all think?
It's extremely weird behaviour and not a little rude? I've had this happen a couple times now after I posted in the trading thread. Someone who hasn't set up a trade sends an invite - I accept thinking they do want to trade - and then they want me to share goals with them or cheer on their goals. But that's not something we ever discussed, at no point did I sign up for that? There's a whole thread for finding goal buddies so it's not like it's impossible to find someone who does want to share goals. Why are you bothering me with this?
It's just weird. Please don't do this, I'm going to start blocking for this behaviour.
At the start of every month, I notice my store offers items that were up for sale last month. This month I don’t have that option - it’s basically just the same items over and over. Is anyone else experiencing this?
Even though it's a long way off, StellaBlu is counting the days until May 5th. It's Children's Day in Japan! She is looking forward to putting up colourful carp steamers. A big one at the top to represent her dad. Then below that is a slightly smaller one to represent her mum. Then a whole line of little carps to represent her nest mates. It's based on an old story about a determined carp who believed in himself so much that he swam the perilous route upstream to a waterfall. Then through sheer force of will and his own strength, he leapt to the top of the waterfall and transformed into a dragon! There is even a temple in Kyoto that has a stone with a natural formation that looks like the carp as he transforms! The transformation part intrigues Penelope: "He transforms?! Like Toad?"
StellaBlu : "no 😐"
Penelope : "oh 😔"
StellaBlu : "more like Toadette"
Penelope : " ☺️"
Birdly is helping Penelope decide where to travel next when she leaves the Galapagos Islands. He thinks she might enjoy Bhutan. She can attend the Phala Choepa Festival. Its highlight is the dance with boar masks to celebrate the monastery's guardian boar deity. It chases away evil spirits and welcomes good fortune. Penelope thinks that sounds lovely. Boars get a bad rap in most places. The boars must feel so sad and left out. It's nice to see them loved and appreciated.
Waffle is listing naturally occurring pink things. She is currently cataloguing pink animals. She thinks flamingos are so pretty and flamboyant. They get their colour from eating carotenoid rich algae. Then there's Bargibant's Pygmy Seahorse. They live on corals and have evolved to blend in seamlessly with their homes. And there's the Amazon river dolphin which starts off grey but turns pink as an adult. Waffle gazes off thoughtfully into the distance. "You know what else is pink?", she says. "Unicorn barf." Penelope is startled. She was under the impression that unicorns vomited chunky glitter.
Pebble met a skunk this morning. The skunk was charming if a little shy and they've made plans to get together for lemonade and snacks at the skunk's house next week. Pebble is so happy to have made another friend! There's only one teeny tiny problem. Pebble's new friend is sort of.... stinky. "I think it's coming from his butt", whispers Pebble. Penelope nods sympathetically. She's heard this about skunks. They're really sweet but they have a BO problem. Maybe Pebble should bring a host gift when he visits his new friend. Penelope has just the thing. She tells Pebble to come round to her place tomorrow and she'll give him a bar of persimmon soap for his odiferous friend. It has a bunch of natural tannins in it that neutralize odour. It also smells delightful. Pebble is relieved. He wants to be able to breathe when he hangs around with his new buddy.

I really appreciate the discussion that developed in this thread, before it met its surprising longer than expected demise. Yes, there were the pudding headed commenters, which were expected but it was a great discussion by and with others. 💕
​
Nomi has found the perfect dress! It's white - all the colours of light combined. She never has to decide what colour to wear. As long as she's wearing her white dress, she'll be wearing whatever colour and all the colours! She is so thrilled to have all of her wardrobe conundrums solved. Penelope doesn't get it. The dress is so obviously blue.
It's 3am and finally cooling down a bit to about 30°. Good night disco birbs! Thanks for coming 💕

What does it mean when a friend is visiting and they keep jumping up and down and have diamond stars in their eyes?

We're off to a late start today as the heat here is unbearable. It's been in the 40's for the past few days. Penelope's human has been spending the day sitting in a cool bath, eating pizza. Old house + radiators = no central air 🥵. Penelope is melting in the heat.
Mizuki was practically busting the door down - someone's eager to shake her tail feathers in the cooling venue of a cave! She's been listening to Vivaldi's The Four Seasons - Summer. The adagio is still and stifling, mimicking the oppressive heat of a summer day like today. Then, a burst of high pitched, violin trills represent a violent swarm of mosquitoes and buzzing flies! The third movement erupts in a persistent frenzy of hungry biters that transitions into an angry summer cloudburst. Penelope feels itchy just hearing about it.
Potato is learning about some of their cousins. It saddens them to know that Dodos could not fly. Penelope suggests that they travel to Mauritius and teach the dodos what they know. Even though neither of them are great fliers themselves, perhaps they should team up and share their knowledge. Potato demonstrates their skills. They're coming along nicely. Penelope understands that it's been a minute since anyone has met a dodo, but she thinks that with enough gentleness and ice cream, they can coax the dodos out of hiding.
Pretty has just found out about jobs! A very officious duck was telling her about "climbing the corporate ladder". Is there a slide at the top? Is there a tree house at the top? Penelope hopes that there is a loft at the top and then you can jump down and land in a pile of hay. They both wonder what kind of ladder is "corporate". Maybe the duck meant cooperate? One birb holds the ladder while the other one climbs? That would make total sense! They make plans to climb the cooperate ladder tomorrow.
Dove can't imagine how dinosaurs play badminton. Their arms are so short! Penelope guesses that they hold the racquets in their mouths.
Noodle is warning everyone - the pigs are angry. Many years years back, there was some kind of birb vs pig war. Really mean birbs were stuffing pigs into slingshots and launching them at buildings. The destruction was appalling. The pigs ended up with a lot of injuries and trauma. Now the descendants of those pigs are out for revenge! Penelope tries to calm her friend. They are safe inside the Rave Cave. It is a well known fact that pigs cannot abide disco.
