A Falco Feathursday

This Feathursday we showcase three of the smallest falcons in Europe and America: the Eurasian Hobby (Falco subbuteo), Common Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus), and American Kestrel (Falco sparverius). All are in the genus Falco, and all occupy a similar niche within the falcon genus, although the Hobby is more falconesque in its hunting behavior. The American Kestrel, however, may not be a true kestrel, but seems more closely related to other North American falcons.

These paintings are by the British bird artist Terance James Bond and are reproduced in our folio volume Birds, The Paintings of Terance James Bond, published in Cambridge, England, by the Lutterworth Press in 1988. Of his painting of the American Kestrel, Bond writes:

The species . . . can be found in parkland, farmland, and the margins of towns and villages [and cities!]. To hint at this association with modern man I have chosen to illustrate my male bird against a setting of sawn logs. This I feel works very well, the firewood is a perfectly natural element but the presence of civilised man is suggested through the obviously unnatural arrangement of the timber. The bird could be sunning itself in somebody's farmyard or rural garden and has taken advantage of the perching point whilst it sits and waits for the arrival of a potential snack.

Faucon hobereau - Grâce à sa rapidité (jusqu'à 200km/h), il peut attraper ses proies par surprise. Il se cache derrière un buisson ou un bâtiment pour fondre sur des hirondelles, des martinets ou des moineaux avant que ceux-ci ne l’aient aperçu. Il les déchiquète souvent en plein vol.

Lieu : Pairi Daiza

“Salad cops, motherfucker! You have the right to… Romaine silent!” bellowed the heavily-armed shock trooper standing in my freshly-exploded doorway.

It wasn’t entirely my fault. The energy crisis made it happen. A couple decades ago, when gasoline suddenly got kind of expensive, the bigwigs decided it was time to make gasoline more sustainable. This is, of course, code for massive farm subsidies. They'd pay farmers to produce a shedload of corn. And I don't mean like a small shed. No, they would make so much corn that the country could not consume all of it, and then turn it into mediocre gasoline, rather than do something silly like export it to a country where people might want to eat the corn.

Corn's really easy to grow, apparently, and the people who make corn often vote for the kind of politicians who promise corn subsidies. Thing is, it doesn't have to be corn. You can make ethanol-rich gasoline out of basically any vegetable or plant matter, plus a bunch of gasoline. And while it's not so great for your lawn implements or motorcycles or to sniff, ethanol gasoline has a fantastic resistance to knocking. Which means you can plug it into your car, and then run an incredible amount of turbocharger boost pressure. Which means horsepower. Which means that you will be able to make up for the lack of respect that literally every authority figure in your life has given you since the very day you were born.

So: I simply went around to the local restaurants, and scooped leftover salad out of their dumpsters. Then I mixed it with R/C car nitromethane that I pulled out of the hobby store dumpster, and: boom. Cheap gasoline. For a little while. You see, people only throw away so much salad per day. A lot less than I can burn in that same day, especially with a 255 litre-per-hour racing fuel pump and injectors the size of a Eurasian red squirrel. Which means that soon i was out of gas to run my ridiculous car, and had to instead putter around at normal boost pressures, like some sort of rube.

This is where the salad police come in. You see, only the government is allowed to decide which vegetables are massively subsidized. And if you commit a daring midnight raid on that government's Tactical Turnip Reserve, for instance, they're gonna figure out real fast who suddenly is driving around town smelling like brassica farts and burning 10W40.

About: I’m a British brown bear with a love of pastels and nostalgic cartoons! I enjoys drawing, reading fanfiction and playing video games with my friends. I tend to hyper-fixate on hobbies/interests and will collect merch that I display proudly in my room.

I love sweet treats such as cookies/biscuits, cake, ice cream and pastries. My weight is constantly fluctuating because of my bad eating habits.

I mainly play video games on my Steam Deck. I love playing Monster Hunter, Red Dead Online, Pokemon and Baldur’s Gate. I’m a sucker for survival crafting games and adventure rpgs.

I’m an introvert and feel safest in the comfort of my home 🥰 I love chatting with my close friends and attending conventions when I can.

My fursona can be drawn both chubby or very thick but nothing hyper. I’m a plus size individual so like to see my fursona drawn the same. 🐻🩵
