It's the seventh day of Christmas! Have some more birds. This time there is some twitter drama between dark-eyed juncos and chickadees.

It’s the sixth day of Christmas! Have another bird. It’s a common starling, but it’s probably not named for the fact that much of its plumage looks like bright stars against a dark sky! In fact, ‘starling’ is probably cognate with another bird, ‘tern’.
I had no idea they looked like that. Neat!

It’s the fifth day of Christmas! There is some debate over whether the gifts on this day were actually birds. Anyway, have a squirrel’s ring.

It’s the fourth day of Christmas! Have some more birds. (Two or three different Steller’s jays, a dark-eyed junco, and a golden-crowned sparrow)

It’s the third day of Christmas! Have some birds (a suspected house finch and a dark-eyed junco). I know you might have been expecting six birds today, but I’m not made of birds, you know.

It’s the second day of Christmas! Have three birds of two different species (dark-eyed juncos and I think a chickadee) It might be the same junco twice; I haven’t had time to look for one that definitely has two.

It’s the first day of Christmas. Have a bird. (I think this one is a golden-crowned sparrow.)

The new macOS/iOS version of Seddit is out! In this version, if you have voices in multiple languages selected, it will detect the language of the first post or comment by each user and give them a voice that speaks that language. So they’ll be pronounced correctly. apps.apple.com/us/app/seddi...

Well that was quick! The new iOS version is still in review, but a new macOS version of Seddit, 1.1, is available now, with new sounds settings, a setting to not read out URLs, and a ‘random from previous subreddits’ setting for automatically loading more posts. apps.apple.com/us/app/seddi...
