    Imagine how much wildlife and birds and other shit you get outside your window on the left compared to that desolate ecological wasteland on the right

      I have a mourning dove nesting on my balcony for the third time this season and the amount of joy it has brought me is immeasurable. It’s fucked up so many people are deprived of this experience

        I have a tit nest directly above my front door right now, I have to be careful not to close the door too hard when entering/exiting.

            there’s a family of black redstarts nesting in the courtyard every year. they’re incredibly loud. i think the male (maybe?) is expending like a bodyweight’s worth of energy every day to scream/sing.

            one of them managed to intimidate my cat once. cat just scurried away.

                oh no, i think it’s mating season and he’s trying to defend his territory or draw our attention to him so we dont look for the nest. or something.

                    i mean, it’s a 5cm tall bird and it can produce enough volume to echo around a multi-story courtyard. it’s fucking impressive. football fans only wish they had lungs like this.

            This one goes over my head. Not in the “it’s hanging above the door” kind of way but in a “I genuinely don’t understand the joke” kind of way.

              Might be an American saying. “Seems like tits on a door/tits on a doorknob” is a way of saying something or someone is sitting around being completely useless.
