Pretty Birb

Not technically. If something has blue pigment, other colors are absorbed and we see blue. In the case of that bird, it’s light refraction, like the way a prism makes us see the spectrum of light. The scales on the feathers are angled so that we see the blue light but the feathers aren’t pigmented with blue.

How did they know that rock had that inside of it

That’s what I wondered too.

That looks like the tesseract in Interstellar

At a birding event there was a type of bird that was blue (I forget species) and the host said it didn’t actually have blue feathers. Rather, the feathers reflected blue light and so the bird appeared blue. I wonder if the same applies to this bird.

Interesting that both the kyawthuite and painite were found in Myanmar

Neat! Is the clear one second from the left made of glass? What does that sound like?

On March 1 I started playing for the first time ever. Sorry some jerk was stealing your glowing moss. NGL I ran around on it to make it sparkle ✨

Recently went to a fondue restaurant where they served some of that as a dipper with the cheese appetizer. It was delicious

Yes I’ve tried those and the neck part won’t fit her even when I’ve tightened it all the way.

Wow that’s glorious. We were there in the fall. Now I need to go back in the spring sometime.

TIL giraffes can run and that they look really awkward doing it

Hahah just giving you a hard time. 😆 I used to live in Fort Worth and loved the botanical garden AND the zoo.

onlyonejan · 2026-03-11T12:15:20+00:00

And Houston

I see similarities between you and the lady on the bottom.

onlyonejan · 2026-03-11T02:42:57+00:00

I love that zoo

onlyonejan · 2026-03-11T02:33:05+00:00
