Spix's macaw – Cyanopsitta spixii

The Association for the Conversation of Threatened Parrots announced yesterday that the babies of a released, wild pair of Spix's macaw have successfully fledged the nest! The report added that the babies are being taught wild behaviors by their parents, and are being occasionally babysat by their older sibling!

They also reported on a trio of babies in captive care that are all doing well!

These beautiful birds went completely extinct in the wild in 2000, but were reintroduced from captive stock a couple years ago. Many of the released birds have survived, and are now breeding on their own in the wild!

There's been some conflict about the conservation efforts, so I'm happy to hear that the now-wild ones are establishing themselves well.

If my mom sees a significant amount of blood she gets lightheaded, and has fainted on some occasions. Once it happened when we were kids, I wasn't there to witness it but I heard the story from my dad. Basically my brothers, around 7 or 8 at the time, were playing outside while my mom was making their lunch, and she accidentally cut her finger. It wasn't anything serious, but it drew a fair bit of blood and she passed out. My dad saw this and rushed over, but he didn't really know what to do so he just sort of started slapping her to wake her up (not recommended, but he had no idea and panicked)

At that exact moment my brothers both came in from playing, and all they saw was our mom unconscious on the floor and our dad slapping her. So, like, without even saying a word to each other they both just INSTANTLY start whaling on him, like, full blown attack mode to defend our mom. Which obviously didn't help the situation, but she did wake up and everything was fine.

Now our dad says that he's actually really glad they attacked him over what they thought was going on, because it means he raised good boys. And I still think that's true, they're very good boys.

Day 9: Bones Are Needed (from @stychu-stych's cotltober prompt list)

'crusading for bones' is the least subtle innuendo in existence but give them a break, do you have any idea how hard it is to get time alone once you're a god

— a while back i stumbled upon mushroom oasis and was absolutely dumbfounded by how good it was already (all whilst being a demo, too!!)

couple months later the recent update comes out and i kid you not youtuber after youtuber started uploading videos of their playthroughs and i genuinely felt so GIDDY??<DK!!! and !!!! incredibly excited for you ! 

so happy for the game's success because it is ABSOLUTELY deserved - and your hard work most definitely shows within that !

all that being said be sure 2 never forget to take care of your well-being! tis' important to note that you always come first :P

Aaa thank you!! ❤️ I tend to forget people talk about my games outside of tumblr; I used to be unable to watch playthroughs of my own games because I'd cringe at my own writing,,, (I still do sometimes guawgh) but I'm both happy and proud it's grown the way it has the past 2 years!

I should mention this ask was from 30th December 2023 (I scrolled all the way down my inbox!!!) and I didn't wanna let it stay there so it's out here now for me to archive❤️!!

Sooo I've been obsessed with this au for a few days now and I thought.. why not use my abilities for evil

These are the designs from the tf2 x Steven Universe au by @lenny-link drawn in Steven Universe's art style! Or my best attempt at it lol.

I think the best looking ones are spy, heavy and soldier :]

Close ups↓

Also here's just the background; it's the bg from the tf2 lineup as a SU background, I'm really proud of how it looks hsjdjd

I also HAD to draw Andalusite by @gracefireheart cus good god he has taken over my entire heart. He's truly everything. The myth the legend the icon the moment. Happy pride month.

I like giving him a receding hairline cus. medic(has hair) + heavy(bald) = less hair. mathematics. The first drawing is my puny amateurish attempt at Rebecca Sugar's beautiful doodle art style. (I think I nailed the face and hair tho hehe)

(Your drawings are what introduced me to this au, I love them sm- I really hope you'll like this!!) (p.s; sorry for giving him a boob window. I wasn't strong enough.)

Aaaand my own design for a medic and scout fusion, Tourmaline! They only really form him when they both feel like wreaking havoc. he's impulsive, inattentive, hyperactive, he has no self preservation, and he's low-key dumb. When his senses kick in is usually when they unfuse. He can't see for shit and has to constantly remind himself to put on his glasses

(scout and medic shitty lil bratty kid + uncle who enables them dynamic truthers rise up)

(I had so many ideas for things I wanted to post so I thought I'd just put it all in one place gsjdjd, I hope people won't mind :'] )
