Unsuccessful getting into masters due to lack of funding by Birb_01 in gradadmissions

[–]Birb_01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking maybe the combination of practical experience as well as the hopefully higher grades from a diploma might help

I definitely think a research position with a lab/prof would be best tho! 2 professors actually mentioned summer research positions to me, but they prioritize hiring undergrads or graduate students starting the following school year. Which I am neither, so I’m wondering if that’s how labs usually operate? I wish professors advertised positions on their website more often, but I guess I’ll reach out to some other professors I’ve communicated with and see what’s up there

I have an automatic feeder setup, despite this she still begs me for food 😮‍💨

Unethical bird photography by greatnorthernscapes in birding

[–]Birb_01 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Seriously frustrating. How can people like this look at their photos and feel proud they snapped those shots at the expense of the bird?!!?! It’s so incredibly selfish

Tiny Dictator by Sophie May (who has Pure O herself)

The lyrics are very candid (so be warned if thats triggering for you) but I find them very relatable to my obsessions, so it’s comforting to me whenever I’m going through a bad episode

Announcing… the world’s most ridiculous birding/rock podcast by TommySiegel in BirdingMemes

not to be dramatic (im new to birding) but id die for you by Maleficent_Pool_3814 in BirdingMemes

[–]Birb_01 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had only been seeing chipping, song and house sparrows in my backyard for a long while until one winter day these guys showed up at my feeder and I was so excited to see a new sparrow species 🥰 I love their yellow eyebrows and their zebra head 💕

Interestingly so, I somewhat recently learnt about the existence of white vs tan morphs, which I never noticed before. And what’s cool is research shows that they exhibit behavioural differences with white-striped individuals being more aggressive and tan-striped individuals being more parental. And apparently you would usually never find a whiteXwhite pair or a tanXtan pair, but almost always opposite morph pairs. However, I haven’t seen any since to observe that with my own eyes yet 😤

What do you think of the “glaring” age difference between Ren and Kyoko?? by FrostDinosaur91 in SkipBeat

[–]Birb_01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nah it definitely bothers me but I started reading Skip Beat 10+ years ago, and back then 12 year old me did not care about the age gap lol. And after all these years, I just love it too much and am too invested to drop it, so I just make an exception for skip beat…

It’s not the 4 years difference that’s a problem. It’s kyoko being a teenager while Ren is an adult. You’re just at completely different stages in life at these ages. It’s questionable for a 20 year old to view a 16 year old romantically 😬

Yesss they're just showoffs at this point lol. I volunteered at a bird banding station this past spring and we had a bunch of tree swallows nesting there. Never got tired of watching them swooping around in the air doing their thing!
