The internet is full of animal comics, with cats and dogs, of course, dominating the scene (as they do). But birds don't often get the spotlight to preen their beautiful feathers in ink or paint. Well, potatopato comics are here to fix this issue.
The artist, Cynthia, chose her own pet, a cockatiel named Buddy, as the focus of the comics. With playful, positive scenarios she portrays what it feels like having a parrot as a pet and showcases the joys and struggles of living with Buddy. As for what inspired the artist, she said that it's all based on real life. "They are largely real incidents, based either on Buddy himself, or experiences I've had with other birds in my life" Cynthia told Bored Panda. With quite a following, the artist revealed that the reaction is overwhelmingly positive. "People tell me it helps them with depression and helps get them through bad days, and I'm grateful to be able to help" she said.
Scroll down to check them out and hey, they might inspire you to get a cockatiel of your own. Don't forget to vote and comment on your favorite pieces!
Here's a picture of what Buddy looks like in real life

Flying?

Sadly, my little sweetie can't fly. She pulled out the flight feathers on one wing and they stopped growing back. It's all good though. She gets around like a trooper!

While attending grad school out of state I lived alone with my love bird so we were very well-bonded, but I'd come home for longer stretches of time during school breaks so of course I'd bring him with me to my parent's. Well, my dad has been an early riser all of life and made a habit of taking my lovie out of his cage and spending time with him every morning. Soon I had competition for my lovie's affection as he would love landing on my dad and just chilling with him. Picture a bald, bearded, 6ft, retired construction guy letting this little yellow bird climb all over him, nibbling as he goes. Needless to say, I didn't mind the competition at all.

I really want a bird. My grandmother always kept them and I'd like to carry on.....but I feel bad about caging them. Is there a particular breed where it's....IDK....beneficial for them? (Honest question , no judgment or snark)

Me too, I never had a bird. But I am usually very afraid of hurting them by mistake while handling them, so I just can't. I know I won't hurt, but that feeling just cant seem to leave my head ever. I feel Felines and canines are much easier to handle.
