Parents swung by regularily to feed, but also to encourage to follow, all w blue skies, but soon clouds formed everywhere, and rain started pouring, so I wrapped a box in plastic tarp, set it sideways, made a slim opening, and placed it under a chair - back to the rail (help for flying practice...

The second struggled to make the same move, but did get onto the railing, only to stumble down to the balcony again, and thereafter never really caught on to it (the whole rail/wall construct is tricky, and bird tries up fly straight up it, which won't work, there's an edge, then another one -...

Parent tits came by all of today feeding the two, until one of them flapped onto the railing, enjoyed the view for maybe half an hour, then leapt into the forest below, parents in chase

For strange reasons, I have an abnormally large balcony, 4th floor, so it's ideal for birdlings raising, hiding, feeding in a wall vent - but not ideal for fledging; they're very exposed to crows, magpies, gulls - although the nearby thrushes are excellent allies, 3 times during today, they...

Dammit, one of them died. On the balcony floor, scrawny, shouldn't be for the time they've been in there, a last runt maybe... ? I imagine parents musta dropped it there, so I dropped it to the lawn.

it sounds insane to be reporting on my relentless great tits they are relentless though, my god

In one, the "protagonist" gets a phonecall from "his daughter" but nei - it is in fact a creepy hax0rz who use *software* to make himself SOUND like the daughter! Shudder :O

I was worried the entire day before the visit, because he can be unpredictable, now I feel like shit, because the whole time he intended it as a good bye :I

Before getting on the bus, he told me he was terrified of going, especially since he's gonna be alone in a 3rd world country - he gets drunk, he gets beligerent, and again... I can now only hope they send him back here, where he will still be miserable, but at least not in danger of fucking...

I am left to hope for something fucking up, preventing him from going - he's supposed to live with his wife in the Dominican Republic, but dude can't even live with her here - he got admitted to the psych ward for extreme act-outs

At the time, my mind is in semi-denial, like - okay... sure... don't die there, lol - but as evening fell, it begun to hit me, and I am now truly concerned I have spoken to him in the flesh for the last time

yeah, fuck you Bologna airport, how about you expand the airport with, say - a goddamn hallway or two? A bench would be nice!

Bologna's airport is SO shit, they actually have PSA posters there, urging people not to assault the staff :'D like literally, the posters show hands in cuffs, stating it is illegal to assault staff for "any reason" ending with an accusatory "control yourself!"

Modena was 100% super charming, would again - they even stop when you cross pedestrian under green man, very generous - then again, it's the rich-people-town. Bologna's sooo crap tho - and the airport? holy shit, worst ever

Ohhh, I wondered - I think it's more about brain-case scanning, and doing comparisons of the brain, concluding that T (as well as all theropods) would vocalize in a manner more similar to birds/crocs than mammals which makes sense; but makes it unlikely to have performed big, awesome roars -...
