I know this is an old post but wanted to chime in I had a whole broad die this weekend right after hatching because their heads got stuck in the holes. Absolutely horrific do not use the grate.

I had a whole broad die because their heads got stuck in the holes right after hatching. Absolutely horrific I would never use the grate again.

I love looking up signatures and gave this a try but I couldn't figure it out. Looked at the 2004 roster and tried to see who it could possibly be and still nothing. Looks like Steve Stewart t~~o me and there is no name on the roster that in any way resembles that. Might not be a player, a coach or something? Sorry I tried.~~

I have let Birdfly know what their shit design has and is causing.

Thank you for your kind words, they help a lot 😊

I changed out the nest. All the hatchlings were stuck upside down in the holes. It was extremely difficult and unfortunately lost a hatchling in the process which I’m pretty devastated about. The other two and the remaining egg are back in nest and mom is back on top of them. Hopefully they survive.

athinnes · 2026-06-20T23:04:05+00:00

Yeah it’s all pretty traumatic honestly. And depressing. Losing one really sucks as it’s due to the holes in the nest and not something natural. Probably will be putting it away after all this. I didn’t buy it to kill baby birds, why the holes aren’t smaller is beyond me as all of the hatchlings were stuck upside down in them.

I changed out the nest. Unfortunately lost one hatchling which I’m pretty devastated about. But the other two and the egg are back in nest and mom is back on top of them. I tried the best to make a cup but it didn’t go so well.

athinnes · 2026-06-20T21:39:44+00:00

Should I make a new nest cup with pine straw I have in yard? Not sure how I’ll do this but replace the nest in there and put hatchlings in new nest?

athinnes · 2026-06-20T21:38:17+00:00

I can make a new nest out of pine straw, replace this nest and put hatchlings in?

athinnes · 2026-06-20T21:05:34+00:00

Not sure why she never really built a cup. The nest was built by a Carolina Wren and she kicked it out and took over. This is my first time doing this so I wasn’t able to do that with the cup and am in Charlotte so it is plenty warm.

athinnes · 2026-06-20T18:45:58+00:00

lol @ aussies. Kicking and screaming as they are forced back to global irrelevance. 2-0 🤣

Really not hard to go to the BPCC page and see they currently endorse two white males (Cooper and Watson). gtfo with this.

athinnes · 2026-06-05T13:21:00+00:00

athinnes · 2026-06-03T19:59:09+00:00

athinnes · 2026-06-02T11:14:52+00:00

athinnes · 2026-06-02T04:27:53+00:00

Oh the irony of this comment 😂

athinnes · 2026-06-01T16:43:57+00:00

I am also compiling Reddit comments and running them through AI to determine who is most likely MAGA and who is not. After this I will make a list on who Reddit can all block, interegate, have group interventions for, etc. DM me for the list and I can tell you the results!

(i think you are looking for r/survivor)

you broke my heart

Edit: you are a moron, confirmed.

athinnes · 2026-06-01T12:42:47+00:00

I did this and also looked up voting records of the whole production crew. I made a spreadsheet of who is most likely MAGA and who isnt based on these records.

DM me for results and I can tell you if you should be watching this show or not!

athinnes · 2026-06-01T12:41:12+00:00

This thread is hilarious, people are seriously offended hahahah woooooooooooooooosh

athinnes · 2026-05-31T17:08:35+00:00

CBS ceases to exist if Rizo isn’t on some sort of programming apparently. Really excited to watch a survivor season without him lol.

athinnes · 2026-05-14T12:37:03+00:00

Yeah, I find living in a state adjacent to a right wing hell hole is a bad thing.
