This bird has been to my garden a few times and I just can't tell what it is as no pigeons or doves look like this in my area unless you mixed a Woodland Pigeon with a Collared Dove.

Cookie's birth has finally been announced, she gave birth to this male calf on June 17th.
Sire is currently unknown, either Sean or Panghu most likely Panghu again. It is also currently unknown if the calf is being hand raised or not.
This is her third pregnancy and overall third calf, having Cody in 2021 and a either stillbirth or miscarriage in 2023.
Here's a chinese news video about it if anyone's interested : https://weibo.com/6105713761/5324129100370290
I'm sure there's going to be lots of mixed feelings about this facility having another calf but obviously please stay civil in conversation.

I don't know if this has been posted already but Type-D orcas now have a public ID catalogue!

This is very exciting news at least to me, I really love this population and I'm glad we're able to have this kind of information on them.
With this kind of stuff available about them I'm excited to see just how much we can learn about them in the future.

Today is Wikie's 25th birthday! Born to Sharkane and Kim II in 2001, and later becoming famous for "mimicking" human speech.
There's been a lot of worry for her and her son for reasons I'm sure we all know, but there's been some recent hope for them. I'm wishing Wikie a lovely day, and I can't wait to see what cake or gelatine treats she gets.
Confirmed just yesterday by SeaWorld and some articles, Shamu Celebration : Light Up the Night is returning!
Electric Ocean will be at all three parks during summer, San Diego and Orlando have been confirmed to have the Shamu show on - San Antonio has not been confirmed, as it's not anywhere on their website like it is for San Diego and Orlando.
There have also been rehearsals seen at Orlando for a completely new orca show, with Shamu being used multiple times in it.. so the Shamu branding might be coming back.
Alongside that, filming for an ad was seen a while ago in which the orcas were apart of, it seems perhaps the corporation running SeaWorld doesn't feel the need to hide the fact they have orcas anymore?
( Also, the photo is Taima if anyone is wondering. )
