  1. هل يمكن لطائر أن يكذب؟ طائر القيق (The Jay) ليس مجرد وجه جميل في الغابة. إنه يمتلك ذاكرة خارقة، يخطط للمستقبل، يتظاهر بتخزين الطعام ليخدع اللصوص، ويستخدم النمل للاستحمام بحمض الفورميك الحارق. تعرف على الجانب المظلم والعبقري لهذا الطائر المخادع.

  2. Red-rumped Parrots, male and female

    Red-rumped Parrots are pretty little birds. Their colours are a shimmering mix of blue, green, and yellow. So, why the name “red-rumped”? If you manage to see the male bird at the right angle, you’ll spot a patch of red between his wings, above his tail.

    We don’t see Red-rumped Parrots in my area, on Australia’s east coast just north of Sydney. I saw these birds while on a recent trip westwards. Both sightings were on the Barrier Highway, a 1000-kilometre road that leads west from Nyngan to Broken Hill and beyond.

    The first two were feeding on the grass at a rest stop between Wilcannia and Cobar. Here’s the female , followed by the male:

    The second pair were at Nyngan Riverside Tourist Park, located in the town of Nyngan at the eastern end of the Barrier Highway.

    Common name: Red-rumped Parrot
    Scientific name: Psephotus haematonotus
    Approximate length: 26-28 cm
    Date spotted: 22 July 2026 (winter)
    Location: Barrier Highway and Nyngan, New South Wales, Australia: 31°33’33.1″S 147°10’51.7″E

  3. Sunbeam on Wood

    The whole color palette brightens whenever the Baltimore orioles (Icterus galbula) are in town.

    Step into a world where even the smallest moments—like the glint in a bird's eye—tell their own story.

  4. Good morning. 😎✌️🍵

    21 August 2026

    My fingers need to get a tappin’, because it’s a walk day and I want to git‑er‑done before it warms up too much. Truth be told, I might end up doing the walk before I finish my morning rant — priorities and all that.

    If only I could think. As Quick Draw would often say, “I’ll do the thinnin’ around here, Baba Louie.” And this morning, my brain seems perfectly happy to let him.

    Is it just me, or does anyone else find it hilarious that Underdog’s girlfriend’s name is Sweet Polly Purebred? I mentioned it to my wife, who didn’t find it nearly as funny as I do. But as an adult, the name hits different. The writers slipped in satire that kids would never catch — a little jab at pedigree, genetics, and social class wrapped in a Saturday‑morning cartoon. Genius, really.

    Another name that comes to mind is Pepé Le Pew, who had an ongoing crush on Penelope Pussycat — the black cat who always seemed to end up with a white streak of paint down her back, making her resemble a female skunk in Pepé’s eyes. For some reason he insisted on calling her Fifi, one of his many over-the-top French pet names. Meanwhile, Penelope spent every episode trying to escape his romantic advances.

    And then there’s Dick Dastardly’s dog, Muttley. He’s a favorite of mine because his sly little snicker reminds me of the look Charlie gives me when we’re playing catch and he decides it’s time for keep‑away instead. I’ll reach down to grab his toy, and he gives me that mischievous side‑eye before pulling it away — pure Muttley energy.

  5. 残念ながら取り逃した模様…​:meowweary:​
    巣材集めで水面に浮かぶ羽を拾っている姿を目にしたことはあったけれど、水生昆虫を狙うこともあるんだなぁ
    空中で羽虫を捉えるイメージが強すぎて、今までは見逃してたのかも
    やはり観察を続けると新たな

  6. A Willie Wagtail stands on the red dirt of the Outback in South Australia. Despite the name, Willie Wagtails are actually fantails rather than wagtails. Fantails spread out their tails and wave them from side to side, whereas wagtails waggle their tails up and down. However, Australians chose the name Willie Wagtail and it stuck. sydneybirder.com/2026/08/21/wi #Birds #BirdWatching #Australia
