Text: parrot_rescue_lebanon: We have had 100 strikes in just 10 minutes on beirut and other areas today, with more than 300 casualties so far, and it looks like it's escalating and expanding to other areas in lebanon, including ours. I can't even describe how we are feeling right now ...
Text: parrot_rescue_lebanon: We are living the nightmare all over again, this time on an even bigger scale. My heart aches, and I feel helpless. I can not be helping out on the ground, I can not leave the sanctuary, especially when I have no volunteers and no one to help. But I'm willing to take in misplaced birds temporarily until they can reunite with their families later on, just like we did last time. However, I will have to reach out to our supporters and ask for help once again. We are literally running out of food and supplies, I need to stock up and increase the amount of food since we don't know when this is gonna end, and with the possibility of taking g in more birds...

It feels stupid to worry about parrots when there are humans paying the toll for this stupidity, but there's a rescue in Beirut and the escalation is getting dangerously close to it.
Please help Chadi out if you can.

A picture post of a poem on the TEPORINGO (Scientific name: Romerolagus diazi. Other common names include Volcano rabbit, El conejo de los volcanes, Zacatuche). All these names are displayed in the bottom left handish corner. The poem is titled SHELTER and it reads: The bunchgrass Sway gently in the breeze, cradling Teporingo sleeping To the right of the poem, is a picture of the teporingo by user Crookedantlers. The words #Akunapowrimo and April 5, 2026 is in the top right hand corner The bottom part of the picture is a border of dry yellowy grass In the background, is the scenery of Volcán Popocatépetl , Mexico
Happy Easter everyone! 🐇🐣

"A young tech entrepreneur who recently moved to Florida got upset when he ran into obstacles while trying to build a house on the habitat for the endangered Florida scrub-jay.
So he filed a lawsuit attempting to strip the bird of its federal protection."
A poem + picture of the vaquita, the most endagered and smallest porpoise species in the world. There are large words on the side. They read " #AKUnapowrimo April 3,2026 Phocoena sinus (scientific name), Vaquita / Vaquita marina (English & spanish common names). TO the left, there is a blue rectangle with a poem for the Vaquita. It reads: Ten lines for las Vaquitas Mar de Cortés with rich murky waters Filled by Rio Colorado & her daughters Woo the children of the sea- all besotted And, this is where las vaquitas marinas are spotted Wee little porpoise, the smallest actually Navigate the foggy waters so angelically Yet, gill nets from poachers snare diabolically, but accidentally, all for that Chinese med blood money- the demands of the rich incidentally TEN, maybe fewer, still remain in them waters How do we save the remaining from these marauders? There is a drawn stylized chibi picture of the vaquita in the upper right corner of this rectangle. The art is cute and is made by user crookedantlers

Love this poignant piece. The splitting of the verses spatially on the page really does show the change in belief.
I like to think belief isn't rigid like stone, more like water that shift as we age, learn & experience things. But yes there are some things that we just dont go back to huh
This here is a pretty neat explanation of how natural selection in this mouse species works~
