    Hehehe. Amazing birb names. There was a woodcock in my parents yard one winter. It was so cute! Took us a couple of minutes to figure out what bird it was, we’d never seen it before. It was so busy out there. First it completely flattened itself like a dead leaf when it saw my dad, then when it felt safe, it started fanning it feathers out like a miniature turkey and rotating, it did a little display. (Not sure if it was a mating dance or something else but very cute.) We didn’t see it do the walk. But ever since that encounter and after learning they do a little jiggling dance when they walk (via youtube), they are one of my favourite birds now.









  • I stumbled on Veronica Explains on Youtube and holy crap she is so smart. I won’t lie though, I felt like a moron trying to understand some of the things she covered. But it was still great to see her stuff.

    My mind was blown, truly. It’s because of her that I ended up going down a tech video rabbit hole and watched all these incredibly skilled people building their own devices (or refurbishing and transforming older ones) from scratch. How?? My tiny brain can’t process it.
