despite having chosen the northern flicker as my persona on this app, i simply cannot become a bird furry bc i am incapable of selecting a species. what about NUTHATCHES! what about BARN OWLS and FINCHES and MOURNING DOVES. there are just too many good birds in this world. tragiqué

How it started vs. How it ended

Today I shipped the portfolio that this print is a part of to Puerto Rico so I thought I’d share the beginning and end stages of this Puerto Rican birds print! 🦜

lmao this account got my hackles up awhile back, but i didn’t know they were doing fake numbers-station shit. incredible
Almost 800,000 people on here are following a totally-not-real account claiming it's a group of rogue park workers and who are now posting cryptic nonsense to make it seem like they're sending messages to the deep state. Also they're selling resistance merch. WTF are we doing man?

As spring approaches it is vital to remember: dead and dying trees (and other plants) ARE habitat.

Do you want to feed birds and help them raise their young? It’s easier than you think. Simply leave those leaves or dying tree alone. That’s all there is to it.

sometimes i’m like “damn. i’m never gonna do anything special in this world”

& sometimes i remember that i have managed to get kinglet photos crisp enough to show their rictal bristles & the snacks in their beaks 😌

Today’s #1000postcards is the blossom gazer, because we could all do with something gentle to start the day, and what could be better than the first blossom

happy woodpecker wednesday! you may be aware that acorn woodpeckers store - and can remember the location of - thousands of acorns, in “granaries” like this one. BUT did you know that they also shuffle those acorns between holes as they dry, ensuring that each acorn fits perfectly in its hole?

Training isn't just about tricks!
When many people hear 'training', they still think of just making animals perform & entertain people.
Our ambassador training focuses on quality of life & medical behaviors, like stepping on a scale to monitor daily weights. It's also a lot of fun for the birds!

I’m a little late this month, I usually like to send out my zines by the 15th. But I’m sending out tomorrow. So last chance to see the first issue of Oozing From the Cracks over on Patreon @ SweetBeansComix.
