These are Red Tailed Black Cockatoos which are currently desperately searching for food in suburbia (as so many of the native trees they historically relied on have been cleared). These were feeding at my neighbours. They&#39;re so vulnerable on the ground (and road!) but it is lovely to see how many people stop to watch them. #birds #birdphotography<br/> <img src="https://o.mastodon.au/media_attachments/files/114/534/663/533/278/762/original/424e5639806efc8f.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://o.mastodon.au/media_attachments/files/114/534/663/587/280/640/original/ca288ba86aea7fad.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://o.mastodon.au/media_attachments/files/114/534/664/259/087/331/original/305cdfdcdf7d676d.jpg"> <br/> 2025-05-19T13:15:28Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqswhrgmz0d5fg0re7pwql0qt3a495ngl0mk928suras24rwame2rmqzyz577atreylyljwtj7pa6dfe2cu3gwd426cwg359ylcmpnjjlhf4jl3jucr Female and male Red Capped Robins. #birds #birdphotography<br/> <img src="https://o.mastodon.au/media_attachments/files/114/495/165/018/825/792/original/9ade6b8749eb7a25.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://o.mastodon.au/media_attachments/files/114/495/165/048/109/828/original/6e2e8194683ec41e.jpg"> <br/> 2025-05-12T13:47:31Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsfk5g3x9lf3wj44ep7596kjf6p5pzxjy3l38jw04gxwu5nmwhxg9gzyz577atreylyljwtj7pa6dfe2cu3gwd426cwg359ylcmpnjjlhf4jfrmnql I haven&#39;t been out birding much recently.

We can individually squirm in the darkness hoping we are not noticed. OR collectively make a stand. The USA is not currently a reliable millitary ally or trading partner. Whilst honouring our existing agreements there should be NO FURTHER deals. No trade deals, no expansion of military bases, no state visits. The USA should be frozen out of any and all international agreements until Trump is replaced. This also means no cultural exchanges and NO SPORTS. The Los Angeles Olympian games can be between the USA and Russia and the Russian vassal states.<br/><br/>Means nothing if one country does it. Means a whole lot if it&#39;s the EU, the UK, Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea etc. I don&#39;t know what China would do in this situation because they are the country that really does benefit...... 2025-03-01T08:00:25Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsvrv43dsa6rya3gj6xy6ffzp4dyzj2tqpjzfr895plygc8hqsxzpszyz577atreylyljwtj7pa6dfe2cu3gwd426cwg359ylcmpnjjlhf4j3vtexs Trouble?
