Ooh yes, those bites are bad. Infection goes deep & quick. Glad he's doing better, poor boy.

It was quite funny watching it waiting to get the opportunity- palpable relief when the bossy birds left!

Wendy&Co @wendy59.bsky.social · 17h

They're so bossy aren't they! We've upped the number here now too. So beautiful, so agro! 🤣

1. #PMGeorgiaMeloni #Trump BL feigns interest covers suprasternal notch & arm cross self hug, self pacifying. Crossed arms defensive, feels threatened. Eye roll. Covers mouth ‘I can’t believe he said that.’ Covers suprasternal notch fear & anxiety. Drops head down frustrated.

2. #GeorgiaMeloni #Trump
BL Begins to groom hair, to self soothe, stress & boredom. Grasps her head on either side & in so doing covers ears, trying to block him out. Micro expression of disgust, sneers. Pulls herself together, covers suprasternal notch again, fear & anxiety.

Vote now, if you haven't already, for the Guardian's Bird of the Year 2025

It helps to nominate a bird that's endangered, giving it a much higher profile - like Baudin's black cockatoo for example

Please vote - this is a wonderful environmental exercise

NSW ICAC was widely condemned by politicians & the media after they took just under 2yrs to conclude their investigation into Gladys Berejiklian’s corruption.

Is anyone condemning the NACC who after well OVER 2yrs is still investigating Robodebt? Why not? #auspol

🚨 This is a new low! Scammers targeting those who want to livestream the funeral service of a friend or loved one. #Scams #ScamAlert

A Police warning about a scam being perpetrated on people who want to watch a funeral service online. Scammers send fake links to friends & relatives & often ask for money. The links will take you to a malicious website. Police recommend only getting live streaming details direct from the funeral home & never click on other links.
