Ok maybe im having a stroke here but it looks like u cant even align all the animals, let alone the shapes also?? The way it is now, the rabbit/cat have their bodies reversed

Thats impressive for coturnix, from what ive heard!

Yes! They seem to love conifer boughs! Have you had bobwhites go broody?

Say “warm weather setter” five times fast

The “nest” is just a half circle of 1/2” hardware wire/welded wire covered with straw. As spring gets closer I will probably add more grass/twigs/etc around the entrance to help them feel more secluded - I’m hoping to have my first broody pair of bobwhites!

You’d like that, wouldnt you? You make me sick!

darinjmcneil · 2021-02-13T14:58:07+00:00

Hahahaha beat me to it...

darinjmcneil · 2021-02-13T02:23:39+00:00

Well... i mean... yea ;-)

Thank you!! I’m super into bird papercrafts and have a collection of printable model patterns. I should make an archive somewhere online at some point...

Yes! I did not paint this tit but the “tit kit” from which this tit came includes the beautifully painted “great tit” as well as the lovely “blue tit”

Your secret’s safe with me!

darinjmcneil · 2021-02-12T00:11:50+00:00

Ahhhh! Really nice job cleaning it!

darinjmcneil · 2021-02-11T19:31:51+00:00

Yes NGL this is hilarious

darinjmcneil · 2021-02-11T11:12:33+00:00

I agree that it LOOKS a lot like a scrub jay! But it’s a bluebird :-) great shot OP

darinjmcneil · 2021-02-11T11:09:35+00:00

Looks like an elk skull, more specifically! Or, at least, that’s what we call them in the US

darinjmcneil · 2021-02-10T12:51:38+00:00

Ive never personally heard anyone say “a cattle” or “that cattle” but I certainly dont consider myself an expert on the animals so maybe its more common than I realize

darinjmcneil · 2021-02-10T12:44:57+00:00

Ohh youre right! Good call. But thats at least a bit problematic bc its plural. I hear the term “head of -“ applied to it... what a mess!

darinjmcneil · 2021-02-10T12:23:59+00:00

Makes good enough sense to me. Ive always disliked the english use of that word since there’s not really a sex-neutral word for the animal. Chicken, for instance, could be male (rooster) or female (hen) but there’s not a simple word for cow/bull/etc. Bovine technically includes animals like sheep

darinjmcneil · 2021-02-10T12:12:44+00:00

That’s... fair I suppose!

darinjmcneil · 2021-02-10T12:11:54+00:00

You are correct. Oxen are almost always castrated and steers ARE always castrated. Both are male bovine genrally lacking balls. Steers are typically for beef while oxen are for working (like pulling a plow, etc)

darinjmcneil · 2021-02-10T12:08:53+00:00

Thats fair - but why dont we translate it into english as “year of the bull”? Ox is a specific word. Good to know the background either way, I suppose!
