this is for all the people who enjoy simply looking at pigeons doing their thing
so when I was about 12, I decided I was sufficiently suburban and alienated that I didn’t have any proper superstitions and so therefore I would pick one for myself. now one white bird in a flock of feral pigeons is good luck for me, specifically, because I say so. hello, my own personal lucky bird
also pigeons are just fantastic. look at them. can you execute a vertical takeoff and a midair 90 degree turn to evade an oncoming Deliveroo biker? no you can’t. they have adapted ‘live on cliff and avoid world’s fastest falcon’ to ‘live on windowledge and avoid the number 41 bus’ and I love them.
BREAKING NEWS
I just learned about a bird species called Golden Plover. Their chicks have an amazing camouflage: their baby fluff resembles MOSS!
LOOK AT THEM! JUST LOOK AT THEM!
…Oh to be a tiny golden plover lying in the moss safe and sound waiting for your mom to bring you some worms…
ATTENTION: IT IS NOW TIME FOR MOSS
Reminds me of the “Tapera Naevia” aka Striped Cuckoo whose chicks look like Pine Cones, so now we have “Moss Birb” and “Pine Cone Birb”
CONIFEROUS BIRB!!!!
Getting glazed pottery out of the kiln is always a bit nerve wracking to me. Because a lot of the time I’ve spent a long time on a piece, with sculptural elements and little details, and there’s always a chance the glaze just…won’t work. But sometimes something comes out of the kiln looking exactly like I wanted. This tea set is one of those times.

Not a bluebird, obviously. That’s a blue tit. But people make jokes about that these days…
Today’s bird is a laughing dove. Fun fact: its name comes from its low coo sound that is reminiscent of human laughter!
