    Nuthatch. Just a happy little bird.

    Junco. Comes around to keep me company when the others go south.

    You know, it took me a long time to realize that many of the birds i was seeing were actually juncos! I kept misidentifying them. And I still occasionally fail to distinguish them from other birds of the same size. I love them though! So pretty!

        My favorite bird is a Cassowary, one of the few birds that could likely kill you if it wanted to.

        They are genuinely nuts. So cool. And prehistoric looking still.

        Have you ever seen one?

          Raven's are everywhere here. Big beautiful bastards!

          I do feed them. When I catch a mouse in a trap I usually throw it on my roof as a free meal for the birds. My roof is rather high so it often attracts great horned owl too. Rarely do I get to see them but they can make a bit of a thump when they land. Pretty big sky cat.

          When I'm out lake camping if I see a raven i might give them a fish head if I have one. Try not to give them people food.

          Super cool. Owls are the best. Horned owls especially so.

            I was coming home from the bar pretty late once and there was this stump in the middle of the road, so I slowed down. As my truck got closer the stump turned and looked at me and spread it's wings. Swear it covered a whole lane. With a couple flaps it was airborne carrying it's dinner. Biggest bird I ever saw.

            Had a friend that used to rehabilitate owls locally. In a barn that in my younger years I had to clean up for community service. Any way I got to meet some baby great horned owls. They are damn cute!

                They were one of the first large reddit communities that I saw moving to the fediverse. Not long after I left too.

                Great community!

                  My work situation is greying and killing me faster than my body can withstand. And so, I've updated my resume and started putting feelers out there which means recruiters have been reaching out

                  Nearly every message starts with "I hope this message finds you well." Honest to doGs truth, I think I'm genuinely going to have a cerebral aneurysm. ๐Ÿคฏ

                  I'm normally pretty easy going, but a few things can still get to me and this is one. Perhaps I've even been sent an amazing opportunity which deleted these because I c a n n o t stand seeing that phrase. WHY?!

                  [insert indiana jones raiders melty face gif]

                  Yeah. I know i am opening myself up to people saying this in the replies. sighs

                  How about this? Share with us what one your favorite birds is and why? I like that. Birds are nice. They bring happiness... unlike my soul-sucking, anxiety inducing job.

                          Sort of. They were actually so pissed at me that their voice cracked when we passed each other and they said anything. XD

                                Yeah it's very cute

                                Fun fact: it's the national bird of Guatemala and the name of their currency is also Quetzal. Apparently old indigenous chiefs would wear a quetzal feather on their head. Also it's endangered.

                                    For some odd reason this makes me think of the movie Office Space:

                                    Peter: Let me ask you something. When you come in on a Monday does anyone ever say to you, โ€œSounds like someone has a case of the Mondaysโ€.

                                    Lawrence: No. No, Man. Shit, no, man. I believe youโ€™d get your ass kicked saying something like that.

                                      Naturally. And no one would lift a finger to help you. ๐Ÿ˜

                                      There's a handful of phrases that I hear in the office world that make my skin literally crawl.
