a rare bird

Congratulations!!

Here are 100 birds that I've made in the past and the origins of my bird magnet sets

They were originally made for #birbfest, which is hosted today by @monkeymintaka.bsky.social

I'm thinking that a Birds of Africa set could be fun for the next magnet set (shoebills and flamingos anyone?)

I love them....

I love snow but I hate the way people refuse to drive to suit the conditions lmao
had someone cut across real close in front of me for an unprotected left and I slidddd and I have had low-level anxiety about it since

First bird seen in the new year: Canada Goose.

Shoutout to the house finch hanging precariously upside-down from a perch to tease out some of the last sunflower seeds in my neighbor's bird feeder.

I am also currently on a social media diet while I take care of myself, so I am not using this account much at the moment.

I must apologize to anything who followed me for bird-specific content. This is a personal account, for someone who likes birds and uses “rarebirdalert” as an account name/handle.

We need to take care of each other.

I’m so endeared by Sammy’s nose spots

Honestly though it sucks that my family members most able and willing to involve themselves in Mom's post-stroke recovery are family members who are absolutely awful at any sort of emotional support.

Ooooh very shiny!

That faaaaaace

Hello new blue sky friends! If we haven't met before, I write SFF! Here are a few of my books.

text that reads "They are beautiful at a glance, but look closer, and you find small things that are not right, occurring by chance. Count the fingers. Check the toes. Their shirt buttons are stones, or got eyes. Their locks are leaves and vines. The jewelry and adornments they wear are misshaped, disconnected or floating. Their gaze is hollow, their expressions eroding."

someone on twitter said that the fae and ai imagery could be spotted in similar ways, and I'm losing my mind over how weird this is

😔

These two cats are like siblings where the little brother is always trying to torment the older sister to play with him and she has no patience for his roughhousing, so seeing them share a chair to watch HD video of squirrels and birds is incredible.

It’s a terrible tragedy… I want to like it, I’m not trying to be a hater, it just tastes like soap!

Hi I’m here. Please appreciate my cats.
