Husband made a terrible choice today and I’m learning that there’s just like… not that much info out there on these little guys. Anybody on tumblr have or know a lot about African Ringnecks? This bird was apparently housed in close proximity with a gray and she is SILENT.. eerily so.. thus far..

#ThreeForThursday: a trio of #parrots

Edward Henry Murphy (Irish, c.1796-1841) Paroquets, c.1830 oil on canvas, 86.4 x 66 cm National Gallery of Ireland NGI.161

🆔 Scarlet Macaw, Salmon-Crested Cockatoo, Rose-Ringed Parakeet

Reminder that parrots aren't native to Europe, and the ones in this painting come from 3 different regions of the world (the Neotropical Americas, Australasia, and the Indian Subcontinent, respectively. But they became common companions in aviaries, brought together through European colonization and conquest.

This painting and others will be part of my presentation at the upcoming History of Science Society's Virtual Festival on 9 December 2023:

"The Parrot in the Picture: Biogeographical Knowledge as a Decolonization Tool in Visual Culture Studies"

11/10/23-Phone photo of beautiful cat mint in Abbey Gardens today, and six photos from this year not yet posted of; Clouded Yellow on Friday, Fox moth caterpillar at Thursley Common last month one of a fair few I've enjoyed seeing this year, a view at Pig Bush in the New Forest on Sunday, Silver-spotted Skipper at Old Winchester Hill in August, Spoonbill on Brownsea Island a couple of weeks ago and a beautiful Peacock butterfly on hemp agrimony at Winnall Moors on Saturday.

Today I also enjoyed seeing Carrion Crow, Jackdaw, Magpie, Woodpigeon, Feral Pigeon and Mute Swan and Mallard on the River Itchen, with Ring-necked Parakeets heard cutting across Lakeside and at the station as I got on the train and Robin singing a nice atmospheric opening to the day. Red Admiral, white clover, nice clumps of herb-Roberts beside the River Itchen at lunch time, ivy-leaved toadflax, forget-me-not, common mallow at Lakeside and stinking iris berries in Winchester were nice to see too.

4&5: rose ringed/ ring necked parakeets (i learnt then as ring necked) me and my sister spent ages looking up at them that some people stopped to see what we were doing haha. also i’d only ever seen them in my bird book before so very exciting, i love how they sound too.

6: pigeons chilling

7: female mallard with interesting colouring

8: starling i saw on the bus this morning (i’ve never seen one this close before)

9&10: mallards on a roof (the highest i’ve ever seen mallards) probably because the geese have claimed the pond this spring

ೄྀ࿐ ˊˎ- ︶︶︶︶༉‧ ೄྀ࿐ ˊˎ- ︶︶︶︶༉‧

★ sydney the cockatoo

sydney's the most mischievous bastard out of all of them. Your watch is missing? In his nest. Your necklace? His nest aswell. Your hat? He's wearing it. You're never getting it back. He sees something shiny, it's in his little claws. Like all the avian hybrids, his arms are wings and he's covered in feathers. Having a human face with little beak like lips. His legs are bird legs. Black eyes staring at you from his nest in a tree. Be careful where you step after any surprise snow in's. He's probably burying himself in it. 5'4

★ Evangeline the peahen

The elegant, sophisticated, coy, angelic Evangeline. Gabriel's mate but she despises his guts, similar to princess, she much prefers you. Often dragging you to their nest and squabbling with Gabriel when he tried taking you away. She may not be as pretty as he is outside, but she certainly is Inside. Proudly showing off her brown little feathers. 5'6 brown straight hair, black eyes and a little pale

★ gabriel the white peacock

Egotistical bastard. He hates his wife for being so ugly, but he does think you are extraordinarily beautiful. He could definitely envision putting his clutch inside you. He'll figure a way out, don't you worry! An albino peacock male with red eyes, white feathers and extremely pale. 5'7

★ fajarah the ring necked parakeet

she's sydney's little partner in crime, but lately she's mellowed out more. Now preferring to watch the koi mers swim around and munch on some chips she stole from the main house. Tilting her head curiously at something she finds interesting. Bright green feathers and hair, black eyes and tan skin. 5'2

★ foolish the owl finch

often seen in the fields with the cows and bulls, he's quiet and prefers to watch. Hopping around quickly and pecking things that catch his eye. There's not much to say about him since he keeps to himself alot, but he does seem to like the biscuits you bring for him.

★ simon the tyto alba

Simon is deaf and mute, having been found wandering around the farm as a little chick. Now the farmers are looking for any way to help him with his hearing long term, but he seems to have adjusted to looking for any vibrations on the ground. Pale and white hair,black eyes, very pointy beak like lips

★ the koimer quintuplets

There's nothing much different between the quintuplets except their different patterns. Just that tancho is the leader and more mature, Kiko is more curious and childish, Hime is sweet and reserved, tsu is a chatterbox and humble, koromo is loud and nosy

★ mason the "lake monster" (crocodile)

Mason is like an older brother figure for the quintuplets, teaching them Little bits of English and watching you interact with them from the depths of the lake or hidden behind some underwater trees in the lake. You may not always see him, but he's always there. Silently watching. Messy grungy hair, green eyes, and has a light tan. 6'4
