I have three jobs that are all unstable.
I live in complete poverty, a sole provider to a family of three in the global south dealing with nerve damage and a new disability after a surgery. Am out of my levothyroxine which I need for life after total thyroidectomy.. thank you!

An incredible conservation success story, the number of Yellow-eared Parrots was estimated to be about 80 birds in the 1990s. Today, about 3800 of these birds are found in the high Andes of Colombia.

It was an incredible treat to spend time with these amazing birds.

I have no idea how they come up with bird names.
