It’s so easy to take our own wildlife for granted, but when you really take the time to look at them for what they are you’ll be delighted

Eye-opening moment for me was meeting a Canadian during a conference in Europe who asked us, star-struck, what was "that amazing blue-winged bird" he saw in a park earlier. We struggled, eventually realising it was a magpie. Being too used to seeing it, we forgot how cool it was

@homo_placidus Interesting, I do see the truth of this based on the experience of my recent trip to the Galapagos

@jhopehobiseoki Their black feathers are iridescent when they catch the light just right

I’ve never seen a magpie look like that, here they’re all black and white and that’s what I’ve seen on tv as well!

@SStew66620 Haha yeah, when I saw the saffron finch I was all "wow! so yellow!", meanwhile the humble European oriole:

@General_JWJ Happened to me with Scarlet Tanagers. Saw one in bird book, said wow imagine seeing a bird that is all red, forgetting I have seen cardinals my whole life

Are there any particular apocryphal works you'd be interested in seeing in this format? After Enoch and the Shepherd of Hermas I'll have kind of exhausted the heavy-hitters. Maybe the Pistis Sophia? It feels like a fine line between publishing and endorsement

A lot of print-on-demand books are formatted extremely poorly. You're lucky if the text is even justified. I want you to read something beautiful, and feel like you didn't waste your money. This is the best I can do as a one man operation. I really hope you like it

magpies, like seagulls and geese, are classified as "evil birds", unlike pigeons, ducks and ravens, which are "cool birds".

@p0quess1ng A couple used to nest every year in a small tree under my bedroom window but our idiot neighbours cut down all their trees and tore down all their hedges so that's the end of that. "Good riddance", they said, "birds look messy."
English
@p0quess1ng We were like, "a large beautiful bird with blue wings? In a European city? Are you sure? Like an escaped parrot?" then we end up finding the magpie and going "ooooooh"
English
@General_JWJ wow that blue is very bright!! yes australian magpies are known for ‘swooping,’ mostly during ‘swooping season’ in spring where they attack people who go near their nests to protect their babies. they aim for the head/face and that does end up with peoples eyes getting poked 😂
