any good source of FR world/lore content that ISN'T fandom?

TItle says it all, but the ads are like the whole screen, and the wiki is so well organized that it so far has been like the only option to find info on offical FR worldbuilding content.

ya know how the minecraft wiki moved off fandom? anything close to that level that yall know of?

Successful Brown Headed Cowbird Host species on the american Piedmont?

Parasitism is always such a fascinating topic to me, and upon realizing the areas I frequent only have one real interspecific brood parasites which are cowbirds, they’ve really caught my interest.

I’ve rarely gotten to see the actual host species interacting with the cowbird young, but I’ve seen plenty of adults of all sorts. Courting, Scouting host nests, whole lotta foraging, love the little deadbeats lol

I’ve often found myself wondering though what all these adults i’m seeing were raised by. Fun thought thing yeah? Looking at an individual adult cowbird and wondering what exactly that birds early life was like. It’s a bummer the cowbirds are so good at avoiding picking up tendencies of their host species, cause that’d make things a whole lot easier! (joking ofc)

Anyhow, I had trouble finding reliable answers online. I know what the target host species are, but that’s a very different question from what the cowbirds were seeing successfully reach adulthood were raised by.

Thoughts? I’m mostly in the middle stretch of the american piedmont so I’ve focused my efforts there.

Anyone know what damage type Dreglord deals?

Asking as a guardian player. I expect mostly physical, but espically for all the ranged attacks and rot explosions I'd like to know what they deal. The only info I can find online says magic and is just one dude on reddit so idk about that lol. Also magic doesn't really make sense, but eh, whatever, sometimes magic damage gets handed to really weird things.

My prayer for whoever hears this scream into the void

give me romina nightboss for Harmonia OR Dreglord and my life is yours. Their nightbosses are just... such ass. I need rot mommy to show up and do her cool ass boss fight!! I wanna face her in nightreign instead of wallowing to the very end of Shadow of the Erdtree every time.

Truely I fought her in my one game where I was overleveleved and thus mopped the floor with my fav boss design. I wanna actually experience her boss fight and what it has to offer.... instead here I sit contemplating if I want to put myself through Messmer again just to reach her.

Dreggy could use her! Scarlet rot assioations, resentment, the whole nine yards! Both of them even have a horde of lesser aspects of themselves who they rear as beloved children of sorts (butterflies and the dregs).

Harmonia as well and honestly I don't feel I even need to explain the reasoning behind that one. Look at them. Not even to mention the huge links between both the Balancers and Romina to the shamans. Feminine floral divine imagery with a twisted malicous red truth to their sad existence. Also she has a polearm. Enough said. She's legit titled a saint for marikas sake. I'm honestly more shocked she WASN'T a harmonia nightboss.

Lost Pet Budgie/Parakeet Spotted.

I am not a resident of Potomac MD, but a hobby birder and owner of several parrots who knows who valued they are to people.

I stumbled upon a birding post from a backyard feeder of a budgie spotted on 7pm August 5th along Devilwood Dr Potomac, MD 20854

I’m posting this here and other places where the owner might be looking. Please spread to similar forms and groups and message boards if you can.

If a distressed parrot owner is out there I want us to be able to reunite them with the poor bird.

I have photos of the birding list in question and the post has photos of it.

Thoughts? Can’t tell if i’m reading into this too much lol

female lovebird, this is the first morning poop so of course it being weird is somewhat expected. However given how recently her diet has somewhat changed (just added some harrisons into their pellet mix), i’m on a look out for weirdness in her droppings.

Is it okay for the urrate to be that spread out? also the color is really green. She might have eaten an abnormal amount of veggie chop yesterday but still. Hard to say.

Thanks yall!

Why’d Carl have to use the BLANK to escape BLANK?

spoilers below at your own risk!

>!I’m confused what made Katie Carl and Tram have to use the gate of the feral gods to escape after defeating the city boss octoshark-thingie?!<

>!Was it the pressure leaving them no other choice, because if so I feel like their combined inventories surely would have had SOME method to figure out to ascend quickly. Was it the ghost of Quetzocotlus that was maybe still able to reach them? I’m confused why we right away went with the nuclear option when minutes earlier the whole reason for fighting the city boss was explicitly to not have!< >!too!< >!use the gate.!<

what’s up with the missing 386?

i use a random number generator to get random episodes because spotify doesn’t have shuffle on podcasts for some reason and got 386. I look it up in the feed and it doesn’t exist. i looke up the feed and it jumps from 385 to 387. I look it up and it says it’s a candlenights episode, but the other candlenights episodes are in the feed, or at least not assigned an episode number if they’re in the McElroy rewards vault .

anyone know what’s up with this?

emojis mystery status on one discord while a member of the server the emoji is from?

>does "this emoji is from a server that is only invite-only or unavailable" appear even if you are a member of the discord server in question that the emoji is from?

context is I am not a on nitro account, but a friend of mine is. we are on multiple servers together and discord recognizes this fact by telling me their nicknames on all the servers we are in together. However upon them reacting an emoji on a smalelr server that was gotten from a larger server that I am also a part of, it does not tell me it's from a servver we are both longtime members of.

Is that an intentional feature or an overlooked bug?

Thanks!

Bonus Action magic items?

Life cleric player who's looking for options to use my bonus action. Spiritual Weapon is the obvious thing, but I'm looking to get more creative with it.

I'm also trying to learn magic items since we're getting to the level where those start being meaningful, and I've not looked at magic items in depth before.

Any thoughts for bonus action magic items? Prayer beads seem my best go-to I can find.

I've had a habit of billowing my cloak of billowing to be included in the fun BA things lol

Roudybush pellets turn to dust to quick. Recommendations?

Recently switched my guys onto Roudybush which was a very smooth transition! Thing is that my guys really enjoy the CRUNCH of more solid pellets. They enjoy round bush but very quickly most of the pellets (natural, mini size) is turned to dust that they’re uninterested in eating. This means the majority of the food is being tossed away.

Anyone know any harder foods that I could mix into the roundybush bag too give them more of a challenge?

Really hard pellets! I’m trying to have the food last more then a few hours before it’s a pile of mostly uneaten dust lol

Recs for where to buy perches of different kinds from?

I've had a lot of mixed sucess with buying perches so far, with some really wonderful natural wood ones, and even more less then ideal ones. I'm looking to hvae a few set online stores to look at though for the future.

Natural wood, a variety of shapes and sizes, and solid stainless steel connections! plastic connections stand no chance against them lol.

Little staircases would be wonderful (cockatiel bumbles around and needs easy ways up sometimes lol), small platforms (mostly to cover things we dont want them shitting on), and something to sharpen the beak on!

Peeps (lovebird) is very meticulous about her beak care. We need our bath, we need our in depth preening, and we need our beak to gleam in the light with just how pollished and pristine our weaponry is. She'd absolutely love a perch that shes able to rub her beak against!!! Unsure whats safest though!

Reccomendations? Something she's able to sharpen her beek with, and a perch that helps with long nails as well. thanks!

Any website or sellers anyone can reccomend would be wonderful!

Recs for Air Quality Monitors?

hey yall, I've had a semi-cheap (I think it was around $50?) air quality moniter for my birds for the last two years, and the amount of stress it's false alarms have caused has me wanting to look for a better one.

Few things that are important!

  1. able to send alerts to two different phones
  2. able to differentiate between things beyond just "VOT"
  3. temp reading, particulate matter readings as well (tiels make a lot of dust lol)
  4. reasonably able to be transported via car

thanks yall! the big thing for me is how often the VOT reading skyrockets without any indication of why. A big differnce when certain airborne things are way more dangerous then others! I try to ensure everyone I share a building with is aware of bird safety, but family and neighbors can be unpredicatble, so I'd like to be able to tell the difference between a neighbor making soup, and fumigating or smth extreme like that.

I can moniter what I put into the air, but theres only so much I can moniter what my rotating cast of neighbors do, so I wanna be able to react quickly if something dangerous appears on the moniter. I've had a glass of wine in the room for a few minutes before and it was reacting the same way (VOT reading maxed out) as it would if it was bleach.

Thanks!!! Any recommendations or past experiences with air quality moniters would be nice! My price range is flexible.
