I used to have a parrot as a kid, we built towers of toy bricks together and played peekaboo etc... Whenever I read about parrots, cockatoos or similar birds I have an urge to adopt one, but it'd be a bad idea - not only we have two cats, I'm also too much of a hermit to fulfil its social needs.

Researching in English is a ride.
Topic: Australian birb, Site: wikipedia (a good place to start looking for sources to read).
"Culture" section. Cool, I'll get links to papers on Noongar folklore, I think. Nope. First sentence: "The earliest European depiction of a cockatoo..." Eh, ręce opadają.

The dickcissel (spiza americana) read research papers about cardinal bird family, and then made its entire existence about forcing scientists to include "with exception of..." at the end of every paragraph discussing the cardinalidae.

Caracaras turned out to be surprisingly difficuilt to research, partially because of their conflicting lore, and partially because of how much bullsjit and AI generated slop clutters the internet lately. Found out some cool facts though!

Today, we're writing about canaries. What's the likelihood that we'll manage to smuggle "classically birb-shaped" past a science editor?

Talis is not amused by my shennanigans, but it was worth earning her ire for that shot. I'm sure her rrvenge will be devastating.

Of all the crimes against humanity committed by the Game Of Thrones tv show the worst is convincing some folks that dropping a knife during a clash to catch it with your other hand is both cool and a good idea. Not only it looks fucking stupid, it literally only works if you're fighting a mannequin.

Spectrum of Stardust was my first nebula in oils. I started it in January 2023 right after I made the bold, slightly unhinged decision to leave academia & become a full-time space artist.

I wondered for quite some time why you so rarely see random birds or animals in the background of American movies, but then I found out about "wildlife services" and everything became clear. And also horrible.

The best part of working on the new Primer is that I find the most wonderful birb blooper pics to send to Anna during my research dives :). In a few weeks she'll have enough to make a special edition with drawings of silly goobers.

You're told it'll sabotage your career if you're a vocally politically opinionated, queer, woman. But things sabotaging my career are systemic xenophobia, sexism, and horrible job market. Which are a direct consequences of people not being vocally opinionated in the first place.
