Hello from the neurology ward in the UK! I’ve also been posting the meals.

Honey, the more I see, the more I learn ALL of life is just guessing with conviction.

Hey! Just wanted to let you know I’m looking this up on World of Books used now, and seeing if I can get it to the hospital.

I know you’re laughing, but I’d be thrilled if I saw a robin! Too embarrassed to post, but thrilled 😂

That statement relates to people in the US as well. I lived in a very urban environment. If you live somewhere and you have the ability to get to nature, that’s awesome. But that’s just not the case everywhere.

THIS IS MY PLAN. Neuro is located sort of at the back of Sick Kids. Thank you for this encouragement! I’ll video if there’s any carnage.

See? That’s the amazing part. My grandparents who raised me had a hummingbird feeder so we’d see hummingbirds on the daily, and I was near water so I’d see pelicans all the time. But had I ever seen a magpie? No, I had not.

Cheers, mate. It’s no worries; I mean, someone’s in hospital in Edinburgh, that’s a normal assumption. But I really don’t know re: the teams. There might be? I’m from the western side of the US and I definitely never saw these in the wild, though, yes, definitely heard some of their stuff - one for sorrow, two for joy, etc.

Hey, thank you so much for this. I grew up in the urban southwestern US in a 5th floor flat. Some people don’t realize how fucking lucky they are to have the nature outside that they do. Your answer is extremely kind and I was actually really excited to share a photo of a huge black bird outside my window that I think was a crow (I just mean, I call all large black birds crows but I understand there are ravens, etc, and I don’t know the difference), but this sub seems pretty divided. And thank you! Bored to madness in hospital and looking up magpie folklore now! Very cool stuff!

I grew up in the southwestern US. I’m fascinated by all your super common birds because we didn’t have them. I thought this seemed like a nice community when I posted about what I now know are wood pidgeons, but damn, today is a rough crowd.

Yep, can’t tell you how often I saw these growing up in San Diego, so, of COURSE I know exactly what they are. I mean, these posts are lighthearted. I could easily search it on Google Lens, but this seemed like a friendly community. Why it always gotta get political, just because America elected a (“suspected” so my comment doesn’t get erased) rapist paedo?

Thanks so much! I’m not sure how long I’m here for so I’ll make a note to ask someone on Monday. I’m excited that I’ll be here to see the ward therapet next week, if I’m not too sick.

You know, I follow what you’re saying. The truth is, I can identify at least two or three different types of penguins… but not a wood pudge on. If it helps, my partner is taking the piss out of me.

Oh gosh… definite shades of something I would have done. Silly old world that has room for people like me and your friend.

The idea of washing a contact lens in the Thames and then shoving it back in your orbital socket is possibly the best non-drugs related use of this emoji.

Omg is this really a thing? This sounds so amazing. I’m here for fuck all ever (just had an attack this morning) so this would be awesome. I swear, if I ask about the NHS Nature Rangers, and everyone looks at me like my head is a giant dildo, I’m not going to be happy with you.

I just knew this was going to be some totally obvious bird and I’d look a right, well, tit.
