Dr. Kara M. Million@darterdancer.bsky.social · 3d agoI've been trying to get Gabe to learn chicken noises for two years, and the ONLY way he will do it is to the tune of the Robot Chicken end credits song (a show he is NOT allowed to watch, btw)😑🐔

The Mississippi kites are back this year! I wonder where they decided to nest this time? They love my neighborhood; guess they think it's a great place to raise kids.
Watch out, baby bun. I saw the whole parliament on the hunt tonight, and they're hungry. Be cunning and full of tricks.
I didn't realize this was a whole entire genre of children's literature, but I am here for it! (And yes, my favorite Frog and Toad story is the one where Toad doesn't want anyone to see him in his bathing suit)

My back yard has been certified as wildlife habitat by the National Wildlife Federation. Not sure if monarchs can read, though. 😅
CW: spider He's so smol!! 😭 He could fit on the tip of a Bic pen. Crab spider.
Gabe is currently reenacting a frequent argument I have with our cat where she begs for wet food when it's not dinner time and I firmly tell her "no!" He laughs uproariously in between takes. I'm not sure I appreciate getting roasted like this. 😑
Oh to be a bumblebee snuggling up to the wisteria.
"Can you hear me??" YES Gabe, half the neighborhood can hear you!! 😑😆
She looks big and scary, but she is a friend. She's helping us keep the grasshopper and katydid populations manageable. Thank you, ma'am! 🫡

Who do you think you're fooling?! (Obscure bird grasshopper nymph)
If it's your birthday today, happy birthday from Gabe the parrot! He has a special song just for you. 🍰🥳(Recorded from the next room because he's still shy)
I'm seriously chomping my way through the city like PacMan. The dots are beignets.
Dr. Kara M. Million@darterdancer.bsky.social · 4w agoIs there some kind of New Orleans city ordinance that you're not allowed to make bad food? The grits alone are healing my soul. ♥️

Don't worry, he has all his leggies. One is just tucked under him because he's being all casual. Five-lined skink.
Aww, look at this cute little flat-tailed leafcutter bee!!
