My Magnificent Octopus

hi here’s a cool bird I betcha didn’t know existed, ✨the wallcreeper✨

it literally looks like a monarch butterfly it’s so cute

the creeperrrrrrrrr

Every now and then you also need to do a bit of gymnastics...

Everyone's thinking "witch" but the owl was actually going as a cowboy.

Iirc the original images are from years ago, and everyone was worried that the owl was actually stuck to the toy - but apparently the townspeople had seen him put it down to hunt and such, and then go back to pick it up again. Which straight up triples my enjoyment of this story.

A yellow and grey cockatiel "sings" the chorus to "September" by Earth, Wind, and Fire in a high-pitched whistle. It occasionally pecks a metal object to the beat, and it makes a deep, short sound similar to that of a cowbell.

Is this heaven?

“White-faced Storm Petrel”

Bird: White-faced Storm Petrel

“A flying white-faced storm petrel skiing on the water. Storm petrels regularly exhibit this behavior whilst searching for food on the water’s surface, but I have never seen such a perfectly timed photo of the moment of impact.”
