Hi new friends!

If you’re here because you accidentally clicked follow when you meant to boop, no worries. Go ahead and click that unfollow button and no hard feelings.

But if you’re here because you were booped and booped back and decided you liked the cut of my jib, I’m thrilled to welcome you!

When I’m not spam booping and reblogging booping memes, you will find vitally important bird content, fandom wank, books, memes, other animals (I’m an equal opportunity wildlife observer), sewing and embroidery, whump that I meant to post to the sideblog that I forget exists, and whatever else catches my fancy. I love this hellsite beyond reason.

Happy following!

estranged siblings is such an underutilized trope. i stand firm in this. they grew up together. in some ways they know each other better than anyone else ever will. and in other ways they don't know each other at all. it's tragic and awkward and tense and i want so so much of it

#honestly estranged anything is a banger for me#people who loved each other once#who loved the people they once were#who were someone else when they loved them#inject this into my veins

“Start by pulling him out of the fire and hoping that he will forget the smell. He was supposed to be an angel but they took him from that light and turned him into something hungry, something that forgets what his hands are for when they aren’t shaking. He will lose so much, and you will watch it all happen because you had him first, and you would let the world break its own neck if it means keeping him. Start by wiping the blood off of his chin and pretending to understand. Repeat to yourself “I won’t leave you, I won’t leave you” until you fall asleep and dream of the place where nothing is red. When is a monster not a monster? Oh, when you love it. Oh, when you used to sing it to sleep. Here are your upturned hands. Give them to him and watch how he prays like he is learning his first words. Start by pulling him out of another fire, and putting him back together with the pieces you find on the floor. There is so much to forgive, but you do not know how to forget. When is a monster not a monster? Oh, when you are the reason it has become so mangled. Here is your humble offering, obliterated and broken in the mouth of this abandoned church. He has come back to stop the world from turning itself inside out, and you love him, you do, so you won’t let him. Tell him that you will never know any better. Pretend to understand why that isn’t good enough.”

Anonymous asked:

Do you have any cool bird facts

aplpaca answered:
  • female raptors (eagles, hawks, falcons, etc) are larger than male raptors in pretty much all species. this happens even in groups not closely related to each other (ex: hawks and falcons), so its beneficial enough in their niche that its evolved independently a few times, though its unsure exactly what that benefit is atm (bc unlike males being larger in a lot of mammals, female raptors dont make a habit of fighting each other or using size to attract mates as far as we know). ex: heres a male and female Cooper's Hawk

  • somewhat mentioned above but falcons are more closely related to parrots than they are to hawks
  • Gray Catbirds and American Robins have been witnessed raising young in the same nest at the same time. In one instance (reported by Mulvihill and Murray), they were recorded caring for the young of both species in the nest, and when the Catbird young fledged, the adult Catbirds continued to provide food for the not-yet-fledged Robins. heres a pic of the nest from the report

  • the worlds oldest known bird as of 2024 is a wild Laysan Albatross named Wisdom who's 72-73 years old (at minimum, we dont actually know her birth date, just that she was at least 5 years old when she was banded in the 50s) and still raising chicks. here's her with one of her chicks

  • also Albatrosses have wingspans of up to 3.5m/11.5ft and have been recorded flying 49,700 miles without touching land (they do land in the water to eat tho)
  • this is from personal experience but if you walk around in a north american grassland for long enough, you Will get jumpscared by a Mourning Dove bc they make their nests on the ground in the grass and like to hang out on the ground in the grass and they also like to wait until youre right overtop of them to freak out and fly away from you
  • Bald Eagles don't get their fully white heads and tails until theyre about 5 years old

  • A lot of birds have been observed incorporating cigarette butts into their nests, and a study in Mexico on House Finches found that this actually results in drastic decreases in parasites affecting young compared to nests without them
  • Cedar Waxwings (and Waxwings in general) just look so smooth. they look like someone airbrushed them. look at this shit

  • in Jacanas, females lay eggs in multiple males' nests, and then the males raise the young by themself. Also they carry their babies under their wings like this

  • Horned Guan. Theyre endangered and live in a small area of central america. both the males and females have the little horn fez, the males just have taller ones

Today’s vibe is the monster found locked up tightly in an abandoned building. Maybe someone found it in an old lab, long abandoned with the experiment’s purpose completely forgotten, or rotting away in a dungeon cell deep underground with only rats for company. Possibly even in a special prison, designed specifically to contain this monster, and hidden away in the hopes that nobody would find it and let it free

Was the person who found the monster looking for it intentionally, or just stumbled upon its prison by accident? What would they do with the monster?(hurt it? try to help it? leave it where they found it?) And why was the monster sealed away? For committing a terrible crime, being framed for said crime, or even just being powerful enough to scare people?

(And if the last one, imagine how little strength the monster would have after being released)

Especially that moment of discovery and the indecision that follows
