- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca
- Merkitse K18-sisältö tarpeen mukaan

My old roommate had a budgie called Bobby. We lived in a shitty flat near a junction that led out of town so a lot of police cars and ambulances went past. Bobby fairly quickly started imitating the siren sounds with his whistles.
Completely unrelated, my favorite moment in learning non-American English expressions was discovering that an international version of "banana hammock" is "budgie pocket"
Or "budgie smugglers" here in the UK.
Yes, that's another! Love it
My new veterinarian has an office parrot and it replicates a smoke alarm perfectly.
