Long tailed tit juveniles look a little weird when they're ready to leave the nest. Cute, but also a little gross!
That second photo could be a character in a Don Bluth movie.

Y'all, I need some suggestions for alternatives to Spotify, starting to get sick of their shit. The one feature I find difficult to replace is finding new music that's similar to others I'm listening to. I don't listen to music, I listen obsessively to one song until I get almost physically sick of listening to it. So I need to listen to snippets of multiple songs which Spotify does allow you to do. Do any of the alternatives have this feature?
Off the top off my head I would recommend:

I need to go to bed, so I'll need to come back later and elaborate and drop some more tips but those options are a good starting point.
I love Pervis
I've used both Ecosia and Kagi and find the former gives me too many irrelevant results compared to Kagi. Recently though Kagi has been giving me some funky results but it doesn't happen very often.
You should come to France and also have some of our anus sausage. Relevant quote from wiki:
True andouillettes are rarely seen outside France and have a strong, distinctive odour coming from the colon. Although sometimes repellent to the uninitiated, the scent is prized by its devotees which can also be said for the texture.
Let me introduce you to the greatest love story of all time:
I was on a trip recently in Extremadura in Spain and it was an amazing place for owls, especially little owls. They're pretty abundant and chill so I was able to get some nice shots which I wanted to share here with fellow superbowlers:
We also saw a couple of Eurasian Eagle Owls, which were on my list to see this year:
Sadly did not catch the Scops owl but we did hear one at night!
If you're a birder in Europe, you absolutely need to go to Extremadura if you have the chance (and not just for owls). I swear the skies felt incredibly empty when I got back home.
We can point fingers at governments and companies all day long, but unless something motivates them to change they're not going to. Right now the only real mechanisms we have at our disposal are our votes and our wallets. If people throw up their hands and can't even be arsed to leverage either of those things, nothing will change. Telling ourselves it's someone else's fault and doing nothing is the pinnacle of being part of the problem.
How about the statue of confederate Lieutenant General Nathan Bedford Forrest on horseback?
It's ugly on the outside and the inside!
A resident Tawny Owl sitting cosy in their nest. The photo was taken last week in Paris, this particular nest has been used by tawny owls for at least 10 years (likely the same owl?)
@anon6798@lemmy.world is singlehandedly keeping this place alive so I thought I'd also participate and share a photo I took last month. This is a burrowing owl I photographed on the grounds of a hotel in Brasilia. A couple of these guys made their burrow in a little ~~hole~~ hill at the bottom of the garden and were seemingly unbothered by hotel guests that were walking past. I have a couple of other shots but this is my favourite. Thanks for all your superb owl posts anon6789!

It's the thick fleshy bit around the eye that I find a bit weird. They are very adorable, but the adults look like perfect fluffy little borbs, fit for a fairy to ride:
The kids never stood a chance.
