oops lol that's true - maybe my non-pet-owner status is showing haha
although i am considering maybe fostering a cat or something??
not sure yet how serious i am about it - i have a lot of plants that might be bad for them so i'm not sure how to resolve that :-(
but a friend offered me a bunch of cat stuff if i decide to do it :0

oh yeah there's lots of dangerous plants. but most are just fine.

having a cat is super cool though :3

are cats naturally inclined to chew on plants

i was also thinking i could move them all into my bedroom and just keep them out of the room p:

haha i would love to be a cat owner ^^
in the past i kept a friend's 2 cats for about a month, and i've lived w cats in the past, but that's been the extent of it

Depends on the cat in my experience... mostly they prefer plastic. >_<

they go pretty crazy for cat grass. I've also got some big catnip plants but they don't like that as much as the bagged stuff. The hummingbirds get way more out of it than my cats. xD

ooh i didn't know about cat grass :0
i think i'm envious of your cat ownership haha

that's so cool that you get hummingbirds! :-)
do you have a backyard?

oohh like people eat cat grass too?

that sounds lovely ^^ a tiny balcony sounds really nice
i love birds but don't know that many of them yet / how to identify them
i only learned what a sparrow looked like last year, they're really common and so cute n pretty :3

∘◦ᵒ .⋆｡˚☽˚｡⋆. ᵒ◦∘ ══════════════════════════════

Shark

Friend PM Trade

probably certain kinds. maybe. xD

I love learning about new birds! It's cool to watch one and see all of its little habits and sounds and then trying to identify what it is. o: Sparrows are great! and there's so many different types of sparrows too. :D We have a ton of Dark-eyed Juncos around here, which are in that family. They make the coolest sounds.

yes! i was watching some nature documentaries earlier this month and different species have such specific rituals and dances
like bowerbird nests, or like birds of paradise will clean before they dance, and manakin birds do a dance with 3 backup dancers lol
it's soo cool and interesting! and they're so cute lol
i can't recognize them by sound yet tho :0

and oh cool :-D i'll have to look out for those
i noticed that birds come out at 5 am here, honestly pretty close to the dot (uhh not that i'm awake then or anything >__>)
how do you learn about birds?? i feel like there's so much i don't know and idk how ppl figure these things out :0

birds are freakin incredible...

sometimes I hear birds awake at 3 am and I don't understand how x_x the sun is nowhere in sight!

I get most of my information from allaboutbirds.org
Like one bird at a time. Just accumulating info over time.

agree ^^
i guess maybe some birds are nocturnal??
i also sometimes think about whether climate change is changing their habits

this is great thanks for the birds website lol ^^
i'm so impressed by ppl who can id birds :0
i have this one friend i used to send pictures of bird i see while out and she would just know :0

swallows are supposed to wake up at sunrise, but they seem to get up quite a bit earlier. there are a bunch that have nests along the apartment roofs here. they have the cutest little squeaky kissy noises.

yeah climate change is probably affecting them greatly... :(

a lot of IDs are tricky. theres this one bird I've seen here twice to eat seeds, and I'm still not sure what it is. D:

oohh! i've never id'd the bird sounds before, i'm not even really sure how since searching for a bird sound isn't very easy ?
do you figure it out from watching and hearing them make the sound?

i haven't seen to many of them around, i had to look up what swallows look like and ugh i just love looking at bird pictures lol

last year when i still went ouside lol i would see a lot of sparrows and starlings!
i think starlings are invasive but oh gee are they really pretty lol

yeah trying to find what goes TWEET TWEET TWEET doesn't really do much. xD; but listening to the sounds on videos helps if you have a general idea of what the bird could be.

yaa tree swallows have the prettiest shine! we have a bunch of those here this year.

starlings are very pretty too. o: I love how they make the funniest kind of angry duck sound, and also have the most beautiful songs. There's also I video I saw recently of a guy who has a pet starling that mimics what he says! It's both adorable and creepy. xD

ooh what kinds of videos?? i had a friend who was working on a project classifying bird sounds, i wonder how that went now lol
at first i was just like oh that's interesting and fun but now i'm like i see how that would be very useful!!

oh my gosh i didn't know they made duck sounds lol and i didn't realize they could do mimicry like that!! lol i'm looking up starling videos on youtube now ...
if you have a link to the video i would be interested in seeing it!! lol
and like i wonder what they're saying, it's just so cool to think about how they're communicating ^^ and what are they screaming about at 5 am lol

btw i hope you had a good birthday yesterday! ^^

ahh anywhere really. o: there's this tumblr blog I follow called ostdrossel, and they post a lot of great photos and videos! and I also follow this channel on youtube that posts videos of birds https://www.youtube.com/user/Woodfibrebirder

there's a ton of youtube channels like that, but I liked that one since it has birds that are more local to my area. :p

and here's the video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DE29KFIEqw

I heard a swallow chirp at 11:40 PM last night above my window xD I wonder what woke it up.

thank you thank you! It was fine, I just wish I wasn't in so much pain.

oh my gosh

this is the exact kind of content i want in my life tysm for sharing!!! * sob * lol i just watched a bunch of woodfibrebirder videos
if there are other channels you follow and feel inclined to share i would love to subscribe to them!!! whenever i try to look for bird videos on youtube (i.e. searching "bird videos") it's always like clickbaity ~ funny/cute compilations ~ (which i still enjoy a lot don't get me wrong lol) but videos of animals in nature is what i actually want!!!!

lol @ the starling vid! i guess when you have such a wide range of sounds you can make and grow up around / hearing humans, it makes sense you would replicate the sounds humans make

oof sometimes i'm overwhelmed by how cute some birds are

if i could pet a bird my heart would sing with joy

aw i'm sorry to hear you're in pain <3 is it chronic or did something happen? (if that's ok to ask)

I'm glad you like it! :D
I think I just searched for a certain type of bird and found that page. Looking up what the most common birds are in your area, and then picking one of em will probably get some good results for nature videos. o:

I would love a crow friend. But they always fly away from me. xD even if I throw peanuts for them...

yeah it's a chronic issue. :( Lots of pain at all times and nothing really helps.

i love it ^^ i've been trying to find these kinds of videos but i don't usually know enough specifics to get there
i feel like with the way youtube is set up - if you already know the specifics you can end up in the niche you're looking for (e.g. searching for "dark eyed junco" or "white faced ibis" - examples from the channel) but just searching for "bird videos" isn't gonna get you there ...
and that's good advice, i'll have to give it a try!

haha i don't think i've been that close to a crow ... but i definitely see them and always try to take pictures of them lol corvids are just so ~ cool ~

ah i feel, i'm sorry to hear that :-(
i have chronic pain too, it might not be the same as yours but i get the part where it's all the time / it's sticking around
hope you can find some relief in the meanwhile!

yeah I rarely search for anything on youtube unless I know specifically what I'm looking for xD so I don't think I've seen how hard it is.

I have a couple pictures of them too :) If I had a nice camera I'd be taking so many pictures of birds. As it is now, I can only really take pictures if they're close enough.

Thank you >_< I'm sorry you also have to deal with it. hopefully it's manageable ^^;
