What bird is this? 🤔 (See alt text for clue) 🌏 #whatbird? #mybirdcards | #birdsoftheworld #birds ❤️🦜
Image description: A profile shot of a relatively large bird perched on a light-coloured wooden railing. The bird has iridescent blue-black plumage, a sharp black beak, and a long, tapered tail. A distinctive bright rufous-orange patch is visible on its primary wing feathers. The background is mostly a soft, out-of-focus green. Clue: "I am a sleek, iridescent black bird from the cliffs and urban rooftops of eastern and southern Africa, best known for the bold flash of rufous-orange that appears on my wings when I fly." Fun fact: When building their nests, they use a mix of mud, grass, and sticks. They are famous for lining the inside with soft hair—and have been known to fly down and pluck hair directly from the heads of unsuspecting humans!

Den ALT-Text verstehe ich nicht.

Of course!!
I've noticed not a lot of sites seem to utilize/push for ALT text as much as bsky. I definitely never used it until I joined bsky since I didn't know what it was. 🤔

What bird is this? 🤔 (See alt text for clue) 🌏 #mybirdcards | #birdsoftheworld #birds ❤️🦜
Image description: A close-up of a vibrantly-coloured small bird perched upside down on a thick, textured brown branch. The bird’s plumage is a brilliant lime green, with its head featuring striking patches of crimson red on the forehead and throat, accented by bright yellow patches around the eyes and cheeks. Its short, thick black beak is pointed downward, and its small, orange-red feet are visible gripping the wood. The background is a soft, out-of-focus pale peach, which makes the bird’s vivid colours stand out sharply. Clue: "I am a small, plump, mostly green bird whose repetitive, metallic call sounds like a craftsman hammering on metal." Fun fact: When the bird calls, it keeps its beak tightly shut. Instead of opening its mouth, it inflates patches of bare skin on the sides of its throat like tiny balloons and bobs its head to push the sound out.

Perhaps, in the alt text, to the original post? 🤔

🤔 - a little puzzled Peter.
The significance of the Chi-rho monogram is in relation to other votive plaques with no symbol i.e. possible Christian v pagan worship.
Alpha & Omega are mentioned in the ALT text.

What bird am I? 🤔 (See alt text for clue) 🌍🌏🌎 #whatbird #mybirdcards | #birdsoftheworld #birds ❤️🦜
Image description: A photo of a medium-sized wading bird standing in shallow, rippling water. The bird is shown in profile, featuring its characteristic black cap and back, pale gray wings, and white underparts. It has a thick, pointed beak and a striking, bright red eye. Its reflection is visible in the dark, shimmering water below. Clue: "I'm a widespread, red-eyed wader that hides in the shadows by day and hunts the marsh by night, wearing a sleek black cap and a hunched silhouette." Fun fact: They nest in large colonies and if a chick from a different nest (even a different species like an egret) ends up in their nest, the parents will usually just shrug and raise it as their own.

What bird am I? 🤔 (See alt text for clue) 🌎 #WhatBirdAmI #MyBirdcards | #birdsoftheworld #birds ❤️🦜
Image description: A close-up, front-facing profile of a small bird atop a weathered wooden fence post. It features a distinctive black-and-white striped crown, a bright orange beak, and a smooth grey breast. The background is a soft, out-of-focus blend of vibrant green and yellow foliage. Clue: "I am a dapper little North American bird known for the bold black-and-white "racing stripes" on my head and my sweet, whistling song." Fun fact: During migration, these birds can stay awake and alert for up to two weeks by resting only one half of their brain at a time. Scientists have even studied this ability to see if it could eventually help humans, like shift workers or long-haul pilots, stay alert without sleep.

Oh another question!! I notice people put alt text in the replies, I've been posting them in the photos themselves exclusively 🤔 does it matter which we choose?

Do people find it more helpful if it's in the replies?

Image description: A close-up, side-profile photo of a large aquatic diving bird swimming in blue, rippled water. The bird has a long, slender neck with pale feathers, a sharp pointed beak, and a striking vivid red eye. Its head is adorned with a prominent, dark, spiky crest and chestnut-orange frills around its cheeks. Water droplets are visible on its neck and head, highlighting its recent emergence from the water. Clue: "I am an elegant waterbird known for my vivid red eyes, a striking dark double crest, and a famous 'weed dance' performed with my mate during the spring." Fun fact: Their chicks are nicknamed "Humbugs" because they are covered in bold black-and-white stripes, much like the old-fashioned peppermint candy!

Alt-text is great, but I hope people aren’t spending their time manually writing out screenshots of text for it 🤔 Your OS will do vision analysis when in accessibility modes to read out what it thinks it sees, so descriptive alt-text is very useful for images, but OCR has been rock solid for years

kolektiva is supposed to be all about solidarity (among other things), right?

So why no alt text or request for help with that?

Image description: A side-profile photo of a small bird hovering in mid-air, showcasing its iridescent emerald-green feathers and a sharp, brilliant white patch on its throat. Its long, dark beak is extended forward, and its wings are captured in a graceful blur against a soft-focus green and purple background. Clue: "I am a vibrant nectar-drinker from South America, recognizable by my metallic green coat and the stark, snowy patch on my neck that gives me my name." Fun fact: To build its nest, this bird uses a mix of plant down and moss, but it binds everything together with stretchy spider silk. This allows the nest to actually "grow" and expand as the two tiny chicks inside get bigger!

Reposting with alt text!

The very first art of these two together despite how important they've been to each other from the beginning. Can't believe it took me so long.

They need a ship name. 🤔

Digital illustration of two OCs, Nikki and Hotaru, under a purple umbrella in the rain. Hotaru stands with one hand in her pants pocket and the other held out to feel the raindrops. Her shoulders are pulled up to her ears, and she is pouting and glaring at the weather. Nikki holds with umbrella over them with one hand, his other also out to feel the rain but with a little flourish. He is leaning toward Hotaru and smiling fondly. In the background, a haze of green surrounds them.

What bird am I? 🤔 (See alt text for clue) 🌏 #WhatBirdAmI #MyBirdcards | #birdsoftheworld #birds ❤️🦜
"I am a vibrant Australian parrot easily recognized by my deep blue head, bright orange-red chest, and lime-green wings. I don't spend much time cracking seeds; instead, I use my specialized brush-tipped tongue to feast on nectar and pollen from native flowers. You'll often hear me before you see me, as I travel in loud, energetic flocks that fill the trees with screeching chatter at dawn and dusk." Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1) Image description: A close-up photo of a vibrant medium-sized parrot perched on a wooden railing. The bird features a deep violet-blue head, a bright yellow-green collar, and a brilliant orange and yellow chest. Its wings and back are a rich emerald green, and its sharp, curved beak is a striking coral red. The background is a soft, out-of-focus blur of grey and white, making the bird's multicolored plumage stand out vividly.
