I've started reading Simon Jimenez' _The Vanished Birds_, and so far I'm loving the lesbian representation.
It's like, a month-long first date the completely defines a character's emotional landscape even though the relationship it seemed to be the start of never actually happens? So real.

Vacuumed the house yesterday. This morning tape rolled the dog hair off my black sweater, then walked from upstairs down to the kitchen touching nobody and nothing. Currently in the kitchen covered in dog hair. It’s like _The Birds_ only with short white dog hair. Deploying the emergency tape roll.

There are issues with spelling and probably some misplaced jealousy for all the attention he gets for just _hitting birds_ when he could have just not hit the birds like a not-dummy

At Home With Tippi Hedren, Melanie Griffith and a 400-Pound Lion
#### Written By: Ben Cosgrove
Tippi Hedren, perhaps most famous for her role in Alfred Hitchcock’s _The Birds_ , is an actress of formidable gifts. Hitch said, when directing her in that classic film, that Hedren had “a faster tempo, city glibness, more humor [than another frequent Hitchcock heroine, Grace Kelly]. She displayed jaunty assuredness . . . and she memorized and read lines extraordinarily well.”
But her role as an animal-rights activist and conservationist might well be Hedren’s most lasting legacy. For decades, her Roar Foundation and the animal sanctuary, Shambala Preserve, in California have advocated for big (and not so big) cats from lions and leopards to bobcats and servals and she’s been honored with a host of humanitarian and conservation awards through the decades.
In 1971, LIFE photographer Michael Rougier spent time with Hedren; her teenage daughter, Melanie Griffith (from Hedren’s first marriage, to Peter Griffith), her then-husband, the agent and movie producer, Noel Marshall; and others at their home in California. Also in attendance: Neil, a 400-pound mature lion, who occasionally slept in the same bed as Griffith and, as these pictures attest, had the run of the house, from the kitchen to the living room to the swimming pool.
Hedren has since acknowledged that it was “stupid beyond belief” to put her family at risk by allowing an animal with “no conscience or remorse genes” to roam free. On that, at least, we can all agree even if these pictures make Neil look like the world’s biggest pussycat.

This myth was some of the material used by Barry Hughart in _Bridge Of Birds_.
It's a wonderful fantasy read. Now I want to re-read it and see how well it's stood up to societal changes.

Mythology Monday - the Cowherd and the Weaver girl which is the story of Star-crossed lovers who can meet once per year the 7th day of the lunar calendar.
They are the Vega / Altair stars ✨ separated by the Milky Way & can meet due to the kind Magpies that took pity on them and make a bridge.

I highly recommend _When We Were Birds_ by Ayanna Lloyd Banwo @ayaroots.bsky.social. It’s a delightful read which I think would be especially great for those who enjoy magical realism, strongly developed characters, and perspectives from other cultures (assuming you’re not from Trinidad & Tobago 🙂).

_The Genius of Birds_ by Jennifer Ackerman, says most birds pair bond, & few are "faithful"
Benefits:
Males: More chicks (both senses)
Females: More genetic diversity of chicks + chance to impress sexy males who may lose mates someday
Chicks: Males patrol wider area for predators
Birds: Get smarter

I was watching an Osprey sitting on her nest when she started calling loudly. Another Osprey flew in, which I assumed to be her mate, but when he got close yet another Osprey arrived. The Osprey holding a fish (her mate who must have been in the middle of a meal) chased off the intruder.
