No, it’s NOT a bear. Can’t you read?
Cockatoo much 2.
Cockatoo much.
This is so sad! This is such a common thing with so many animals and it’s horrible that people treat animals this way
Little sad rant about birds
I visited a bird sanctuary-ish place a few days ago and I cannot stop thinking about the two cockatoos that were there. They both looked a little old and especially sad. Above them, there was this big sign that said "CAREFUL THEY PECK" but all I got from them was signs of appreciation.
I stood there petting both animals for as long as possible. As soon as I stopped to rest my wrist, they screamed happily and then popped again their heads through the cage to be petted again. It really broke my heart to see how needy they were for love... I would've taken them home if I didn't happen to live on the opposite side of the country.
Both of them —and 90% of the animals there— were once pets that have been abandoned or taken away from their malicious owners. Please, don't buy birds (or any kind of animal at all), adopt them. And, if you adopt a bird, please make sure to know what you're stepping into: birds need a lot of care and attention —they are not at all easy pets— and live long lives.
Be mindful when adopting any kind of animal. They're living beings too, and deserve to be treated with love and respect.
I am OBSESSED with this AU!
Ok backstory time!
Valéria and her mother moved to the Encanto as they were banished from the isles for (*ahem*)reasons as for that they had to find a new place to call home! So they packed their things and her mother used her staff to fly somewhere far away from the boiling isles
They ended up wondering into the Encanto, I feel like it would be weird to see new people entering the Encanto out of no where and they have magic too, like the Madrigals do. Alma would be suspicious at first but would be kind enough to let them stay.
Inviting to dinner! Valéria‘s mother doesn’t want her daughter to be alone as her daughter has her own quirks that can be seen as weird towards others so she’s sees it as a new start for her! Her Palisman is a Cockatoo, his name is Collin and is very territorial of his owner, since Cockatoo’s bond with their owners like mates and will protect them at all costs, and he‘s a bird who will closely bond to one person in the household and may shun the rest, even becoming aggressive to anyone who isn't “their” person. so he basically sees Bruno and almost everybody in the Encanto as a threat (you can see him eyeing Bruno lol😂)
I can see Sebastián being protective of Bruno as well! Like i can see a Bruno protection squad brewing.
Valéria is a hugger, and does not know the meaning of personal space, because her social skills are pretty bad but she works on them with Collin and her Mother and still tries to be friends with everyone! She does have anger issues that still need be resolved but she’s alright.
and thank you for making this beautiful and amazing AU! I hope this is alright with you and I reread the posts you said about the au so I don't things messed up! Have a good day everybody! this AU belongs to@ramshackledtrickster
