getting ready is physically a 15min task but emotionally, anywhere between 30min to 5 hours

Baby bird season is incoming and I’d like to remind everyone that birds do not have a significant sense of smell. Bird parents will not reject birdlets because you have handled them.

If you see smol birbs with few or no feathers on the ground, you can safely put them back into their nest, bird parents will still care for them.

If you see smol birbs with some or most feathers on the ground, please leave them there, as bird parents are probably nearby watching and feeding.

nakey bird = accidentally fell out, is cold and scared, put back in nest! if you can’t reach the nest, try to put it on a wide branch or fork so predators can’t get at it as easily.

scruffy feather bird = starting to try the fly thing, not very good at it. only put in nest/branch if predators abound, i.e. you have four outdoor cats and they’re licking their chops.

fluffy feather bird = smol fly guy! do nothing. can probably get away from predators and will flip its shit if you pick it up.

Reblogging this because I’d always heard the ‘Don’t touch a distressed bird its mom will reject it’ thing treated as fact before now, I didn’t realise it wasn’t true…

Spring is coming, time to reblog this again.

an equally friendly reminder to not let your cats and dogs near downed woodland animals. The bacteria they carry can be very harmful and a dog that’s gentle and sweet with you is likely to consider a baby bird as a tasty mouthful.

hi can we normalize the idea of choosing not to drink

Me: “Give me one good reason why I shouldn’t buy this book.”

My Brain: “You have no money. You have no room for more books. You don’t have time to read it - not that you even would. You haven’t read the last thirty-six books you have bought. You-”

“You shouldn’t make friends with crows,” he’d told her.

“Why not?” she asked. 

He said the first thing that popped into his head. “They don’t have any manners.”

“Neither do you, Kaz.” She’d laughed, and if he could have bottled the sound and gotten drunk on it every night, he would have. It terrified him.

Y’all I can’t wait for Six of Crows to come out on Netflix- and in that excitement came this; a fan song for the series itself! Brick by Brick is meant to encapsulate the series with a general tone and mood (no spoilers). Thank you so much @lbardugo for making this wonderful duology. Lyrics and chords are below-

Plan in my pocket

And a cane in my right 

We work in the darkness 

Save the heroes for the light

Men can only be built so high before they come tumbling down 

No mourners, no funerals 

It’s my creed, hear it now

Through the city and the streets of sin

Meet your maker with a broken grin

When the debts start piling in

I’ll be tearing you apart, brick by brick

We are the kings and queens and we run this town try to

Plead none will hear you make a sound

Till all the pieces start falling down 

I’ll be tearing you apart brick by brick

The streets of the city are made of fools gold

Give it the chance and it’ll steal back everything you stole

Gotta debt to pay

Count your saints and pray

Wager for your life

And even though they destroyed you

Rise back from the tides and fight

Through the city and the streets of sin

Meet your maker with a broken grin

When the debts start piling in

I’ll be tearing you apart, brick by brick

We are the kings and queens and we run this town try to

Plead none will hear you make a sound

Till all the pieces start falling down 

I’ll be tearing you apart brick by brick

I’d crawl to you if I had to

Putt everything on the line

I’d crawl to you if I had to

Anything to make you stay this time

I’d crawl to you if I had to

Putt everything on the line

I’d crawl to you if I had to

Anything to make you stay this time

Through the city and the streets of sin

Meet your maker with a broken grin

When the debts start piling in

I’ll be tearing you apart, brick by brick

We are the kings and queens and we run this town try to

Plead none will hear you make a sound

Till all the pieces start falling down 

I’ll be tearing you apart brick by brick

Oh 

I’d like to see you take us on

Our echo will be heard when we’re dead and gone

The runaway

The con

The gun slinger

The witch and the 

wraith and

The thief as their leader

(Em, A7, G, D)
