a post-doc was doing a guest seminar at my institute and at the beginning of his presentation he was explaining why he chose birds for his evolutionary analysis - so he said "well first of all, because birds are the best and most interesting animals and it's fun to study them" and a few professors in the room gave him a very serious nod

some birds with some basic bird conservation tips for earth day! 🥰

(ETA: managed to post this with a slide missing. it’s fixed now!)

alt text & relevant links below the cut

[a series of images with Serenes Forest as a backdrop, also featuring reyson, leanne, and rafiel from the fire emblem tellius games.

slide 1: reyson crouches singing to various songbirds. transcription: happy earth day! bird populations in North America have declined by nearly 3 billion in the last 50 years. habitat loss, pesticides, human infrastructure, and loss of food sources all contribute to decline. climate change is a thread multiplier. here are some simple actions you can take to help birds!

slide 2: leanne sits beside a window, nursing a head injury. transcription: windows! an estimated 1 billion birds suffer window collisions every year in the US and canada. lights can confuse birds - help by turning off your lights or drawing curtains at night. further birdproof your windows by using decals, tape, or paint to disrupt the reflections! (you can purchase window decals just for this purpose!)

slide 3: reyson recoils dramatically from ranulf in cat form, who mutters “bro I am just sitting here.” transcription: cats. domestic cats are not natural predators in north america, and kill 1-4 billion birds each year. many of these cats are feral or stray: support local shelters and rescues with trap/neuter/release programs to reduce feral cat populations. if you own a cat, don’t let your cat outside unsupervised! leash train your boi or build a catio.

slide 4: rafiel ruefully holds yune the bird in his hands; she is lying stunned. transcription: beware pesticides. insecticides are the biggest bird killer. neonicotinoids (or “neonics”), deveoped since the ban of DDT, are used everywhere in the US - farms, cities, and suburbs. they infect entire food chains systemically. avoid neonics in your own home and garden: if you buy plants, read labels to avoid neonic-treated specimens. buy organic produce if you can. the EU has banned outdoor use of many neonics, but the US has not - support local and national initiatives to regulate insecticide use!

slide 5: get involved! this is all bigger than the individual. climate change is a big issue and we can’t fight it alone. seek resources for native plants, bird feeding, and bird monitoring efforts in your area. be sure to look up: your local audubon society; conservation orgs in your area; and climate action plans by indigenous communities near you.

[gloamvonhrym]

making reyson an environmental ambassador character like they did with bambi except instead of the idea being “look at the sweet adorable baby :(“ it’s “how long will nature tolerate your abuse and exploitation. haven’t you put them through enough. do you think yourself invincible. the consequences are coming for you. stop using those goddamn insecticides”

Has your #1 comfort character committed a crime?

#well. not personally #but he was arguably waging a proxy war by having others commit piracy on his behalf for about 20 years #I feel like that ought to count for something #but he only threatened mass murder he didn’t follow through #he punched an aristocrat. that’s definitely a crime but it was warranted

It's not cringe anymore (it SHOULDN'T be cringe anymore), just do it. You're doing something you enjoy so who cares what anybody else says. So spread the words my fellow internet brethren.

Spread the Word :)

#fanart for (or inspired by) fanfic is like the biggest honor imo
