Dark, glossy, unhurried. Glossy black cockatoos mate for life, nest in centuries-old hollows, and feast on she-oaks in the eastern coastal range forests of NSW. They rely on ancient forests and centuries-old hollows. Protect one, protect the other. 🖤

When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

Steve is giving hot stone massages again, despite having no public liability insurance. I'm going to have to have a word with him.

How the ruins are displayed in Serbia.

Budgies drinking at Kangaroo Dam, Gluepot Reserve. I've just seen that Gluepot has had some heavy rain and tracks in the the north-east corner of the reserve are temporarily closed.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:

Now, after a near total population collapse, bogong moths are delighting scientists with sudden spring abundance www.theage.com.au/environment/...

Check out the gorgeous vermiculation on the feathers of the rufous scrub bird - in the dense ground-cover they hide in their colours make them effectively invisible. Their camouflage is SO good that they can afford to have incredibly loud voices and predators still can’t get them

If you haven't already got it, you need to read this latest book from @irishrainforest.bsky.social The opening 2 paragraphs alone are going to be quoted for decades.

Gotta love a sunny Friday in spring.

Why shouldn't a wild animal also be honored? In 2012, the mountain lion P-22 managed to cross Los Angeles and freeways to enter Griffith Park. He survived a decade before being euthanized, too injured & ill to be saved. In between, he raised awareness of what our cities and freeways are doing...

In 1966, Marlon Brando bought a Polynesian atoll after filming ‘Mutiny on the Bounty’. He had the invasive rats removed, then just let it be. It's now a thriving wildlife sanctuary. For example: 15,614 turtles hatched in a season. The power of rewilding. timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/rest-o...

In some U.S. states you can open carry an AK47, but you can’t see a gambling ad. Americans look at our gambling advertising the way we look at their gun control – as a damaging risk to the country. Co-CEO Richard Denniss lays out these risks in the latest episode of “What’s the Point?”. #auspol

Between two Japanese islands a tidal turbine on the seabed is sending 1.1 megawatts ashore through a single cable, and every hour it will generate for the next decade is already printed on a chart. www.ecoportal.net/en/tidal-tur...
