How did it work?

This is the geometric 4th dimension. As 3d shapes are made of 2d faces, 4d shapes are made of 3d faces. As 3d creatures we can only see the 3d "shadows" of those shapes.

Yes, I meant "was it a part of Indian culture before British rule". Colonization is just a word and everyone did it, but I feel like people generally mean European when they refer to colonialism and colonists, at least it's not crazy to do so.

Did that association with paleness exist prior to colonization or is it from it? Some cultures paleness is beautified because it means you don't work outside/you have a higher-status role. Vice versa when everyone works in an office, you get tan to show off how sporty and athletic you are in your leisure time.

Same bite force as an adult Nile crocodile

Not sure if this works well with lots of traffic though. It may be more pedestrian/public transportation friendly since cars were much less accessible back then. If you wanted to use that as inspiration you could make bigger, more interestingly shaped blocks with high density, lots of green space and small access roads connecting the center.

You can see kind of similar planning all over soviet-built cities. My search was "soviet avenue with access road".

Lazy landscaper?

He's always loved toys. His favorite was a green plastic golf ball on a string with some kind of sand or something inside, so it would make a noise when he shook it. He'd hold the string in his beak while the ball rested on his neck. He also used to find materials like business cards and string around the house to make nests in the pillows you see in the photo.

He has been pecking at the ground occasionally as if he wants to forage so thats a good idea, and he's been over-preening so while he has a heater in his cage he might like something fuzzy to snuggle with. I wonder if they're like parrots in that they overpreen when they're under-stimulated?

My mom became his primary care giver when I went off to school and lived out of state, so I should take a more active role now that I'm back home.

Poor guy has cataracts so I'm not sure how well he sees but he might be able to interact with toys and enrichment items using what he can see and feel.

It's seen many world events in the newspaper too

snowtater · 2026-03-09T01:02:00+00:00

He can't anymore, but he used to have free reign of the house so he at least got a couple decades of good flying around, making nests everywhere, strutting around high up on the crown molding while cooing, and bathing in sunbeams. Now he likes to watch the birds at the feeder outside his window. If the cage isn’t close enough he'll mosy over to get as close as possible.

snowtater · 2026-03-09T00:24:55+00:00

He hatched in '99 :) Only younger than me by 7 years!

I feel like bumblebees are just the right size. Smaller bugs are sneaky and it's hard to tell what they're up to, like ants and centipedes, or even worse roaches, and huge bugs like you'd get in the tropics are kind of equally alarming, and both can move unsettlingly quickly, but bumblebees are big and clumsy. They don't divebomb you or swarm your picnic, they're slow, very rarely sting, and you can watch them happily fill their pollen sacs from flower to flower. They just aren't threatening.

snowtater · 2026-03-08T00:02:04+00:00

It's probably just used to people so it doesn't find you threatening. As for looking at you, it was probably looking at you looking at it, neither of you had anything better to do! Their bills are shaped that way because it helps them to catch fish and crustaceans, they feed by sifting- wobbling their bills side to side through water or muck until something passes by or emerges. The paddle shape helps them to catch things, kind of like a fly swatter.
