i know…i cried seeing a stuffed specimen as a kid. it’s always been fascinating but horrific to consider their extinction, given just the sheer numbers of them. and ultimately yeah, conservation wasn’t really…a thing up until that point. so i guess that their sacrifice is worth something, but at the same time, we haven’t stopped killing off entire species…
aww, thank you. and thank you for all the great work that you do. i hope your proposal goes well. i know ive personally taken little birds like chickadees to rehabbers, and i don’t feel like their life has any less value than an “impressive” bird, you know?
haha i don’t think so but thank you
pretty much yeah
they are great birds
birds are higher life forms
awww i love them!! funky men
The truth
could be both! sometimes birds can be reluctant to get on hands if they’re a little shaky or don’t feel stable to them; he could want to be on your hand but be unsure. or he’s just chilling!
