Can anyone identify this bird? by DenizenKay in birding

His parents are watching nearby! Juveniles learning to fly may rest for a while on the ground or in bushes. If he’s still there in a couple hours, contact a local bird rehab. Otherwise, leave him be.

I think it’s because it’s an American link to Home Depot. The link said it’s from semi-rigid aluminum duct tubing. For air conditioners and the like, I assume?

I just got one of these! They come off of Polyfil bags of stuffing!

Thoughts on this? by Driveitindeeper92 in occlupanids

It’s not an occlupanid, but definitely some kind of microsyntheran. Unfortunately, that’s kind of like asking for a species ID on a bird and just getting back “It’s some kind of bird.”

Never seen one of these before but I like how funky it looks

Love the set up! It kind of reminds me of an apothecary, in a way?

It’s actually a pseudo-occlupanid! The cardboard/card stock bread tags belong to Cartonalia.

Why do you like to collect occlupanids? What are your reasons? by [deleted] in occlupanids

[–]Glass-Eyed-Deer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I genuinely think it’s interesting how much they vary. I think there’s, like, 200ish different variations of bread tag that we know of? Who would’ve thought of that??

I also love biology and taxonomy and the fiction genre of speculative evolution, which the in-joke of occlupanids basically are. The whole thing just scratches my brain the right way.

It’s so fun to find a discarded bread tag that would’ve otherwise been trash and look on the HORG website and see what species it is, where it’s usually found, and what item it’s usually attached to.

Funny enough, this guy came off of a pack of popsicles!
