I love watching, learning and thinking about the parallel lives that surround us: the animals and birds. Apologies for poor iphone photos!

@FlintBlackBird @SLB_211 I was watching the rooks in Zurich building their nests yesterday. It's a huge operation and I think several family members get involved. At one point, I was showered by the fluff of sycamore seed pods that one was rook was ripping apart - presumably to line the nest with 🙂

@stonedragonlisa Yes! They are uncommon here. 16-18”. The ones we usually see (downy woodpeckers) are much smaller - 7”!
Very dramatic bird!

No animal deserves to face its final moments fully conscious, in a state of terror and pain. In a landmark ruling in 2023, a Greek court drew a firm line by declaring that slaughter without prior stunning is not legally permitted — a quiet but deeply significant victory for animal welfare. The court acknowledged what science has long confirmed: animals feel fear, pain, and distress just as acutely as any living being, and they deserve basic protection, especially in their most vulnerable moments. This decision is not a statement against any religion or community; it is a commitment to upholding fundamental welfare standards that apply to every animal, regardless of the reason for slaughter. Change like this rarely happens loudly — but for every animal spared from dying in full consciousness and agony, this ruling speaks volumes. When courts choose compassion, they speak for those who cannot speak for themselves.

@thebrewboy Sad. I felt bad about these birds. I used to work in that building and we would watch them building nests. Then when they were almost done, building management pulled the whole thing down. 😢 The birds that nest earliest have the best chance of raising one or two successfully.

@SLB_211 I saw Spike and his partner gathering twigs for nests on Tuesday but it's quite sad. The nest they use is in trees overlooking the train platform and they cut it down last week to make way for a railway track extension. Still, they don't make a fuss. They just get on with it 🙄
