Baby birb being cute
Bubble-tip anemones lookin fancy
Pin-cushion urchin wearing a hat
Hartley the big goober lady
Photo of a small parrot chick in a hand. The chick's eyes are open, but it is covered in grey fuzz and lots of spikey pin feathers. Photo into an aquarium, it is dark with vibrant blue light. Amongst some subtly visible rocks are two anemones, looking like they are glowing cyan and pink. A banggai cardinal fish is faintly visible between them Photo into an aquarium, looking down at the substrate against the glass. There is a spikey pale sea urchin sat in the sand and it has pulled a decorative purple wizard har ontop of itself to "wear". Photo into an aquarium with grey gravel and some live plants. There are a few goldfish in the background but up in front is a large round fancy oranda goldfish with a bright orange wen and a black and white body, mouth open and seemingly trying to get attention from the viewer.

The pinecone has eyes
Photo of a single small parrot chick sat in a hand, it doesn't even fill up the palm. It is covered in spikey pin feathers, and it's eyes are open!

Update:

pinecones
Closeup photo of a nest of small parrots. The chicks are still mostly pink with white fuzz, but have pin feathers starting to grow in, making their skin look prickly and dark in those areas.

Photo looking down into a small parrot nest. There are 5 small baby parrots huddled in a pile. They are pink with a fine layer of white fuzz and dark eyes which haven't opened yet.

Orb Child
Photo of a hand holding a very small bird egg up to a bright phone torch light, using it to candle the egg. The light is illuminating inside the egg and making the veins inside visible.

My idiot son
Photo of the head and neck of a brown llama, stood in a green field with trees covered in autumn leaves around. The llama is looking at the viewer/photographer, his ears back and big eyes making him look very round and babyish.

Happy World Jellyfish Day!

Cassiopea sp. - Upside-down jellyfish

These guys are such fascinating lil buggers and have the endearing vibes of something halfway between a fish and a plant.

One of my favourites!
Digital illustration with a human figure viewed from the side, dramatically leaping/falling downwards and to the right. They are wearing black and blue, with a kitsune mask and short-medium brown hair blowing behind them. The background is textured orange, and bright blue flames streak off of their body. Text says "Origins : Soul Wisp"

Me trying to act normal around birds
Alan Carr stands in a dimly lit stone room, cloaked in deep green and trying (but failing) to suppress a laugh. His hands cover his mouth, eyes crinkled with delight as he giggles uncontrollably, shoulders shaking with the effort of staying composed. There’s a bubbling sense of excitement he’s desperately trying to hide. It’s giving: just seen a Kingfisher.

More shifts at work.
Pro: More money
Con: More work

(But here's one of the cute guys there. He's a pro too.)
Photo of a llama, looking at the viewer and leaning in close to look. He is varing shades of brown. In the background you can see trees, grass, wooden structures and some ponies.
