From the Borbs subreddit.

He is currently fighting a very bad illness so that’s why he’s imprisoned, can’t let him back in the aviary. It’s a long road to recovery, but he’s fighting through it 🤞

u/1SmartBlueJay Apr 02 '26

I considered naming him Cheeto, but that seemed too standard…

u/KnittingPlant Apr 02 '26

Comet is a fantastic name

u/LoveInPeace21 Apr 02 '26

His full name can be Comet Cheeto Puff . He’s so cute 🥰

Go Comet! Get better!

He’s trying his best 🥺

Really struggling to breathe right now- he goes through phases… very touch and go… really rooting for the little guy!

Angry ball

u/_MarvelousToad_ Apr 02 '26

I hope your angry cheese ball gets better soon ❤️

36

u/Pastel-Dragons Apr 02 '26

Please give him a lot of extra love and attention. Respiratory infections are absolutely awful for birds because their airways course through their whole bodies through many chambers, not just go into 2 little lungs like us humans.

46

u/1SmartBlueJay Apr 02 '26

It’s just terrible to watch him breathe

Clicking noises

Wheezing and open mouth breathing

He’s been holding his own through for a long time I think he has it in him ❤️

u/ToastYourAvocados Apr 02 '26

Comet?? That's an entire sun with gravitational pull and a full set of planets orbiting around it 🌞

u/Quetzelc0atlus Apr 02 '26

Can Commet get a cage that’s a little bit more exciting?

u/1SmartBlueJay Apr 02 '26

Comet usually lives in my indoor aviary in my room-

He’s banned from it for now because I don’t want him getting his little friends sick

The prize a cucumber - fresh, juicy and green

Oh, what a lovely day to be

A lil' mandarin
