What If Birds Left Tracks in the Sky?
Photographer: Xavi Bou
An arctic tern creates an unusual shape as it takes flight.
A beautifully ornate pattern made up of a flock of Northern lapwings.
A group of corn buntings seem to erupt out of the ground.

What skeletal problems the African Grey have?
Skeletal problems: of African Grey via reachyourneed
Skeletal problems are common in parrot chicks. Most frequently encountered is Metabolic Bone Disease which is commonly known as rickets. Usually a lack of calcium and vitamin D, with too much phosphorus in the diet fed to the parent birds. Greys are much susceptible to this problem.
This might further leads to splayed legs or folding fractures of the long bones of the legs and wings of birds. It is always recommended to take care of food what your bird is having. Focus on the food such a way that the food contains all the required ingredients.
Constricted toes: This is the problem of toes and foot and mostly noticed in medium to large sized birds. The toes will be swollen and cause problems in holding and walking. This swollen tissue must be removed and treated in early stages itself. If not, might further leads to gangrene.
Beak deformities: It is a condition where the lower mandibles extends beyond the upper rostrum. Calcium supplements might somehow useful to treat this condition. Might need of surgery to correct this if beak over grown. This condition is mostly seen in cockatoos and macaws.

December 2022: Winter Whispers
Seen while walking - decapitated snowman:
Next year I’ll be looking for seedlings from this smashed pumpkin:
Why? Why litter? And, more importantly, The City has great water straight out of the tap so why pay for canned water:
Raccoon & bird tracks:
Found while walking. As mentioned in previous post, those fancy bags aren’t biodegradable. I cut out the biodegradable bits & put them in our compost bins:
Our first Christmas present & it is to my queen & me from our dogs. I helped them since they aren’t good at online ordering:
Just a garden frustration & delight, I transplanted a butterfly bush in Spring & it promptly died but this stick from a butterfly bush that I literally just jammed into some dirt has taken off despite this being a dormant period for this kind of plant:
We have two curly leaf parsley plants but this one has the tightest curls I’ve ever seen so we’ll definitely be trying to save seeds from it:
The succulent planting is hanging in despite the hard freezes:
Of course, there is a collard green coming up in the succulent planting because why not:
The five unwanted - four oak saplings & one privet:
Bird seed. I thought the squirrels might get a kick out of taking a bite out of the peppers from the parrot seed mix:

ooo fantasy au Poppy oooo there's so much empty space on this, it's killing me
rambles:
why is there lace? why does she have a neck corset? because she's Gorgeous and I'm the Artist Here. i will always inflict my personal tastes on everyone I draw. pretty bird <3
it's really difficult to put clothes on a bird... stream helped out a bunch with the colors & the leg gear! I imagine that the leather is durable, which is probably the only thing that gets her to traverse less Forgiving terrain. Thornbushes and itchy tallgrass can't hurt her! she's got "boots"! How Does She Secure Them, i hear no one ask. that's what neighbors are for, isn't it? and a skilled beak once she gets the swing of it.
her shawl remains largely the same due to my lack of imagination! i put a lil feather clasp instead of the shawl being tied together to give it a more fantasy-oriented look. i think i succeeded? i like to think so! i imagine that the clasp gives Poppy some stress, though. It's sharp! Ish. it's sharp by her standards!
Poppy's enchanted glasses allow her to "see" injuries and illness, both caused by magical & normal means. this is very helpful in her role as healer, but also extremely stressful - just because she can see issues doesn't mean she automatically knows what they are! to her, a papercut may be misinterpreted by the beginnings of a fatal infection! i like to think that she got tired of needing to hold the glasses in place over her beak and asked if there was a charm to keep them steady. and they confidently had their resident wizard spell them on - oops! the spell was a little too strong! they're now magically superglued on! yeah, those are never coming off.
she also has a magic bag that i imagine was a gift from her family when she left the nest! she'd never directly use it herself - what if she falls in? what if something nasty managed to crawl inside? - but the Neighborhood uses it as collective storage. it can hold a lot! supplies, books, tents, gold, even Julie when she's determined enough!
