Yeah it was something like that, very low price compared to what SMS were charged for.

WhatsApp was not free and already had a massive user base before Facebook bought it.

Hope this will turn people to alternatives.

Very nice set, and yes it has some humour to it.

Always got to watch out for drempels, even in France 😆

Oh i remember that feeder, I was the one asking how you made it in the post you linked from my old account, haha.

Love it. There is one couple in my yard but it never made it to my balcony, not that I know of. Only the wood pigeons. You got food there too or just the water?

I am right now sitting in a cafe, watching a collared dove bring sticks to the wistoria roof that covers the outdoor seats of the cafe.

Edit:

There it is 🥰

I am checking in too, learned about the Blackcap’s song a month ago with the whobird app. I don’t remember the song really but I remember I thought it does not really sound like a robin and also not like a blackbird.

Those apps are so nice to have.

Are you ashamed of your post history or why did you create a new account for this noble cause?

So refreshing seeing your posts here. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice photos and such cool looking birds.

The rare feral pigeon in a tree 😀

I’d usually have zero problems with cross posting, it’s usually because someone is interested in the topic or appreciates the post. Good intentions. I have been cross posted a few times before and thought that was neat.

The last post of mine that got crissposted to corvids apparently got removed by the sopuli admin for being “spam” lol, I guess someone reported it.

Crowsposting, huh? Good one 😁

I don’t think what they do could reasonably considered being “tasteful”. Honestly bums me out on the fediverse, makes me not want to post to crows because i will get angry when minutes later the repost comes in.

Corvids is almost all reposts of things that get posted to crows, in an attempt to keep away interaction from crows because it is hosted on the wrong instance. Personally i think it is just disgusting what they are doing there.

Aw that lil bluejay looks so cute in deed, i guess that’s him.

edit: oh and thanks for the shelter update, i hope you keep us informed :)

Love it! I was blown away how many vultures i saw in spain last year on a cycling trip, so cool to see them, and to get the top view on them like in your photo is so cool.

I have this tiny water pistol that i used to scare away an overtly aggressive pigeon that i did not want to hang around the balcony. I felt somewhat bad about it, but then again it’s just water, nobody gets harmed. It worked really well, nowadays when it shows up i just have to point the pistol at it and it leaves. I’m pretty sure that it knows i am only “dangerous” from a distance if i have the pistol in my hand.

I tried it on the cat from the balcony, but it’s too weak from that distance to make an impression. Might invest in a super soaker if they start hanging around there too much.

Maybe with some kind of water gun 😅

My neighbor’s cats were also stalking around the feeder in our garden, but luckily they seem to only be out occasionally.

Very nice, lovely light! And i think i recognize an osprey due to its feet. That is an osprey, right?

I wonder if you will ever make a positive contribution with some OC of your own instead oft just trashing other people’s posts. Bit rethorical, not really wondering.
