I'm sorry but whenever you guys abbreviate the Phantom of the Opera I always think of this bastard

Reciprocal love

booby appreciation post!

okay, so we all know these guys…blue footed boobies! the clowns of the sea!

but theres many other gorgeous boobies!

the magnificent red footed booby!

a gorgeous bandit…the masked booby…

the nazca booby with their bright orange beaks!

the brown booby…stunning, elegant and surprisingly goth…

and last but not least the peruvian booby…they look like blue footed boobies had offspring with a kookaburra

Are you guys aware of chimney swifts??

They’re in the same order as hummingbirds and, in some positions, you can see the resemblance

But like… a hummingbird that’s cosplaying as a falcon.

Sleek. Efficient. Aerodynamic. Perfectly optimized.

Also they like to sleep in chimneys, hence the name, and when they perch they become very very flat

They also like to sleep in groups

Anyway 10/10 weird little beast. Love these little flat fuck hummingbird falcons

I opened the gift. I'm honestly surprised; it's really thoughtful--a sweater with a big cartoon owl in the center. It's one of those 'ugly Christmas sweater' style sweaters with a bunch of little birds lining the top and bottom. It's actually really cute. To my friend who gave me this, if you read this, thank you. I only wish I had thought to get you a gift; I'll make it up to you, I promise.
