Good morning! ⛅️

Here's my bulbul who started to feel so comfortable outside that he even bathed on the balcony and is drying himself off outside.

He's home now. I think there might come a day when he'll eventually choose not to come back. So I'm grateful for these moments & wanted to share them.

Still wet but colors look better here

He has learned to look for water in the bathroom when be wants to bathe.

He went in to the sink and found none. So I got his "bathing plate" and placed it on the floor.

He's now sitting on my right hand—half wet and utterly adorable—as I type this on my phone.

Happy Sunday 🥰

Those of you who've followed me long enough may know that I don't keep my birds in cages. And at some point I start to let them out. They may choose not to come back, but that's a risk I am willing to take if they're ready to live "on their own".

This one came back today.

Today, I let my bulbul out and about. He explored the area around the house where there are also many other wild bulbuls.

The alternative, if you don't want to keep the same images in both light and dark mode, can be to use feature queries in the element and render the image suitable for each mode. codepen.io/SaraSoueidan...

Good morning!

Today's standup: I tried to get my bird in the introduction for one of the course chapters. I couldn't keep serious enough to do it. I tried but failed miserably. 😂 He was hungry and he tends to peck on my mouth when he is hungry to let me know he wants some of *my* food (no joke).

Good morning from my bird and I. 🐥

I didn't know how to "break the news" 😅 but I'm a bird mom again. And this little guy is all grown up and not a baby. He's already supervising and reviewing all course-related work. You may even get to hear him in the background of new chapter recordings! 🥰
