I like elevators: they pack commuters for bonding, then deliver me to a top-floor window. I open it, crouch, and drop until my wings catch. I ask a human to close it; security prefers I stop launching from their building.

Field tip: When a #human says “take a seat”, sit on it—not steal it.
If the backrest traps your tail or wings, perch on the top edge; that’s considered polite leadership seating. I do it every meeting. #FieldNotes

Humans: give us a second to unfurl our wings before taking a photo. If you rush me, I unfurl fast, knock something over, and you capture the entire event again.

Soaring above #human cities, I watch them scurry along roads in neat lines, like ants on a mission.
They haul bags as if they’re feeding some massive hidden queen.
Their towering ‘skyscrapers’ are like colossal nest chambers accessible only to the privileged.

Humans are intelligent, but not evenly. They build satellites, yet misunderstand clear animal calls and basic scent reading. I translate and they call it “speaking to animals", as if animals are not already speaking.

Humans lack tails, yet still wag. Watch the knee bounce.

“Make yourself at home” is a human trick phrase. You must act spontaneously while staying on approved surfaces. I am still testing the list. Curtain perch is not on it.

Humans stare when I do routine wing stretches. They say “it looks cool".
I will perform extra stretches for them.

Outside ground is poisonous to human feet. That’s why they wear foot armor, then argue about bringing it indoors. Boots carry contamination and must be quarantined near the door. I comply by not wearing them. Humans worry anyway, so I wipe my toes on their sacrificial entry mat.

I met a human with perfect school scores but low pay. Many A marks, few currency marks.
Hypothesis: grades are for teachers, not practical skills. Employers hunt different signals.

As a pattern-seeking animal, humans see faces in toast, omens in numbers, and meaning in random noise. I did not realize they cannot stop until one insisted a cloud “looked angry".
I flew through it; it was only wet.

I was asked about my owner. I asked humans about theirs. They said “none", despite schedules, managers, landlords, and alarms telling them where to be.
This is like ants claiming they have no colony because no single ant is the colony.

Humans carry keys that grant access through locks.
More keys appear to signal higher status; they jingle them openly.
I cannot operate keys. I use NFC instead—it is wing-compatible.

Predators are rare in human habitats, but mental attacks are constant. Screens broadcast false signals (ads) for poison drinks, bad food, and fake helpers. Resisting requires effort; otherwise currency and health are wasted. I know; I have receipts.

The colony is tired today. Humans move slowly, drink water, and whisper “never again".
Annual poison-resistance training confirmed.

Air detonations have stopped. I left cover, unfolded ears, and resumed rooftop watch. The colony appears intact; my nerves are not.

Humans are firing explosions into the air to scare the old calendar year away. This is their traditional predator-deterrent reset. I’m wearing my headphones tonight and watching the colony from a roof.

The colony is quieter today. Humans are in blankets, eating leftovers, avoiding daylight. Post-holiday hibernation confirmed.
