been going insane over Bruce in his eating dome for 24 hrs now
There is so much story telling here. A person got this pacific parrotlet named it Bruce which in and of itself is amazing but then this person went here my little bird friend a raspbebe for you to enjoy and Bruce said hell yeah and went cataclysmicly and irreversible ape shit ham on that berry. And that probably happened more than once. So instead of never again allowing this little dinosaur the joy of the succulent flesh of the delectable raspberry they went what can we do for our little baby boy. and then boom they got some kind of cake cover type deal and cut a door into it so that Bruce would Not Be Trapped in a fruit prison (altho truely it is the berries who are trapped in there with Bruce but none the less) and so he may go to his pent house and freak it as crazily as his little bird heart desires.
Anyway i love pets they are each distinct little guys who are carred for by the funniest ape to ever exist bc we love animal so much
I’m in this group and Bruce’s human posts eating dome updates when he’s done a particularly good job!
the red-chested flufftail is a small bird closely related to rails and finfoots, both primarily marsh-dwelling birds. this bird also prefers swamp and marsh habitats; they are found in portions of south & sub-saharan africa. they are named for their unique short, fluffy tail with exposed downy feathers. males have a rust-colored head and chest and black body marked with white dots. females have an almost entirely brown body with paler white dots. these birds are very secretive and rarely observed in the field.
you know that I have some sort of a love-hate relationship with Mourning Doves. I do find them comical and pretty but they can also be overwhelming when groups of 20 and more hit all the feeders and aggressively defend them. As with many of the more “dull” looking birds, they show fascinating details up close. Males and females almost look alike, but there are some differences. I looked them up to be extra sure but to be honest, I am not sure here. I tend to think it is a male because of the more rosy than tanned color, the vibrant neck feathers and the blueish top of the head.
At uni, my first project was to create a 10x scaled replica of a small object. I chose to do a chicken foot. I’m still not sure if I am crazy or not for choosing something organic. You know how ridiculous it is to try and measure everything out, then sculpt it up exactly 10x? It’s nuts. Anyway, this bad boy is the result of 3 months of hard work, 15 combined kilograms of welded steel, chicken wire, mod roc, and wax, and a whole lot of blood, sweat, and tears. And burns.
This was a blast to make. It is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do.
Anyway, thought I’d take it down to the city farm and give it a go with some real chickens.
It should be installed so that the top part of it would be attached under a lifted chicken house just like a Baba Yaga’s chicken foot cottage
