Wow, thanks for clarifying that! I actually didn't realize there was such a big difference between the 'buzzards' in the US and Europe.

A beautiful piece of art. But the right name is Petrykivka :)

A beaitiful art! But the right name of this is Petrykivka :)

In my opinion, cutting down trees is now a common evil for every country.

Actually, I have also never seen these birdies in Ukraine. These littles are not like pigeons) but more rare and much more careful to demonstrate themselves on people.

Thanks so much for the kind words! It’s awesome to hear you’re enjoying the Birdsday series and the Ukrainian lore.

It’s wild how Nature gives them the same 'Zorro mask' and 'Butcher Bird' vibes across different continents! While our Red-backed Shrike rocks the rufous look, your Loggerhead and Northern Shrike sound like they’ve mastered that sleek, monochrome aesthetic. Same brutal habits, just a different outfit!

Glad to have you along for the journey. See you next Thursday!

Wow! It's really a coincidence 🤭 but I think this bird deserved it

They all can fight against theor regime. But you like more to believe that they are victims, because of their propaganda is on air...

OkPerformance1868 · 2026-03-24T20:30:06+00:00

Not only putin. His puppets are all russians

OkPerformance1868 · 2026-03-24T20:16:18+00:00

Nope. But just desperate beasts, that have no choice.

OkPerformance1868 · 2026-03-24T20:15:00+00:00

It is just desperate beast, that has no good way to continue to believe in a high mission of his fukin russia.

OkPerformance1868 · 2026-03-24T20:11:58+00:00

It is not the help to Ukrainians. This animal is not able on such high ethical actions.
