I like turtles
My favorite bird has got to be the short-tailed pygmy tyrant cause first of all look at it:
But second of all this lil fella is "töpökääpiötypäkkö" in Finnish and that shit is just fun to say
How is töpökääpiötypäkkö pronounced?
Explaining it would be really hard, and I'm kinda self-conscious about my voice (weird for someone who's done streaming I know), but I found this site that does text-to-speech in Finnish and it actually works:
OH GOSH ITS NAME MEANS STUMPY-DWARF-SHORTFATTY.
And typäkkö, shortfatty, is a scientific name for certain birds. (or short-plumb or short-round, however you want to express that this birb is rotund)
It's currently -12°F (-24°C) with a RealFeel of -22°F (-30°C). I'm so cold

I was finally able to capture a photo yesterday and I'm so glad because this would have been my last chance before I move
