Back with another moth species I found it just chillin’ on the side of my house and it was very big. Flew away after.

Central Vermont.

I’m located in central Vermont. My one of my cats brought it to me and it seems hurt ig? I think it got in thru a window that was left halfway open and must have flown in and gotten caught.

Can’t fly, I tried to set it free and it’s unable to.

Meet my son

This is my little baby, Piepmatz!

He is a baby European Starling, and I’ve been raising him as my own, since he was a little baby without any feathers! How far he’s come!

Piepmatz had three other siblings, but only he survived, and he’s the sweetest bundle of joy in the world.

His favorite things to do are snuggle, eat, sleep, repeat!

Raising a Starling is one of the most demanding jobs ever with lots of risks, but they’re the sweetest birds in the world and bond so closely to you ❤️

(European Starlings are invasive here in the U.S. so it’s fully legal for me to keep him, and I have lots of experience raising birds.)

So fat his dumbass broke it. Look you can even see him attempt to escape from the crime after, not on my watch, I’ve got my evidence right here!

A life-sized sculpture of the Kauaʻi ʻAkialoa I made.

This small finch was an endemic to Hawai’i, meaning that it was found only on those islands and nowhere else in the world.

It was first discovered in 1887, and the last one was shot in 1969. It has not been seen since and is certainly extinct.

An excerpt referring to the Kauaʻi ʻAkialoa is given below:

“At Kaholuamano in the latter end of February and beginning of March they were more common… in once instance I shot a female, and the male stopped in the top of the tree calling desperately. I fired at him without effect, and so intent he was in looking for his mate that he immediately returned and was brought down by another shot” - Scott B. Wilson, 1899.

Cause for extinction: introduced species and habitat loss.

This sculpture, save the bill and rod, is made completely from paper.

But would you give him a chance?

“Frank, you- uhh… looked a little different from last time I saw you!”

I’ve counted eight so far at my feeders, couldn’t be any happier!

Attack

Wanted to put this nice little Pine in my aviary

They have never really chewed plants, and the store I bought it from doesn’t use any sorts of pesticides or any other chemicals on their plants (I know the owner of the store)

Just wanted to double check the safety of it!

First photo for comparison-

In the second one she might be sick?

Just wanted to give some of y’all a little laugh! Love this sub sm
