#kakapo Esperance with chick Elsie-A2-2026 on Whenua Hou. At a month old the chicks start to get coloured feathers and males will weigh around 1kg - not far off the mother's weight. But she's still less than halfway through raising them in the nest! #kakapo2026 #conservation #birds #wildlife

The bird is grey with bars on the ends of all its feathers in colours ranging from cream to yellow to orange, with some green washes on the wings. Is head and crest are feathers are partially bright red.
As before, but the bird is lower on the branch holding onto it with both feet and is now facing down.
This guy again.

"I have my son back!" - my Mum.
^ if I saw that in a commercial I'd roll my eyes and think it contrived, but it's something she actually said IRL
It's also on the PBS in Australia, so a month's supply only costs me $7.70! Our health system isn't perfect, but this is one thing it does very well.
Mental Health Update:
My psychiatrist has put me on Dexamphetamine and WHERE HAS THIS DRUG BEEN ALL MY LIFE?!?!?
It hasn't 'cured' my ADHD/Autism/Depression, but suddenly I have more drive, more energy, and not only is it easier to make it through each day I'm actually PLANNING AHEAD!

Seriously, the cult of dog has gotten completely out of hand. Owning an animal isn't inherently virtuous, nor does it excuse dickish behaviour. If you can't or won't keep your dog under control, then you shouldn't have a dog.
I like how many ppl are like"this is a dog owner thing specifically" when this "I want mine fuck you" attitude is literally the bedrock of the anti masking and maga movements

Realizing that some of my inexplicable sadness about the Artemis II stuff is that it feels like a trans-dimensional communication from an America that took a different path and chose joy instead of fear and hate.

I need to win the lottery so I can throw money at struggling artists.
Photograph of a female Gang-gang Cockatoo on a wooden railing. The bird is grey with orange barring on its breast and belly, and light green/yellow barring on the wings. She has brown eyes, hints of red on her cheecks and above her beak, and a curled, frilly crest. Her beak is light grey and large enough to cause injury (don't ask how I know).
I was visited by a Gang-gang Cockatoo, so now you have been too.

I'm pretty happy about this photo I took of a Brown Thornbill today.

I need help for another month to pay my therapy. I've had depression most of my life, but the last 2 years have been especially difficult.
I need therapy, but it's expensive, so I'd like to sell portraits of yourselves or your favorite characters for 30€ 😔🙏
