Right? I was hyped seeing it there. I saw it before in the tree, pecking along, but never near my balcony.
Haha, yeah I guess me too.
Love this one because of all the pigeons, somebody feeds them there and it's always a whole lot of them there, often times just happily fed and chilling.
I don't know, maybe by crudely cutting some real old bread, haha.
But yeah, that's why i said that probably any bread knife is a bifl item, just this knife is hands down the best bread knife i have ever used, so i thought i'd recommend it.
At first i thought it may be moulting, but it is only three months old and its little sister's feathers look nothing like it, her feathers look perfect. I would guess for about two weeks now it looks scruffier by the day?!
It actually manages to get some food from it with the long beak. I also suspect it to be the bird who picks up the peanut that I lay out in one of the flower pots every day.
I remember being a bit turned off when they recommended it to me in the shop, because of it being a Victorinox, but they told me it's the standard bread knife for all the restaurants etc, so i thought why not, it was also only around 20€ or something. I bought it for my parents too, they somehow lost their old bread knife (how can you lose a bread knife?), they also like it a lot.
The bread is from a bakery.
It is delicious, it's a 100% wholegrain rye bread from a very good bakery.
Thanks for the heads up.
I guess pretty much any bread knife is a bifl one, but in the twenty odd years i've had this, i keep thinking to myself that this knife is awesome basically any time i use it. That's why i want to recommend it. When I bought it it was quite cheap too, does not seem to be the case anymore. Is a Victorinox 5.2930.26
Alright. I see you managed to post to lemmy with it and the comments show up on your blog, nice.
Hey birdie, are you still active on lemmy? Or do we need a new moderator?
Chill out some more to get rid of my corona, prepare some snacks for the birds and cut some video from my cycle trips this year. Starting with a small one because from my long trip i have so many clips, i think i'll cut that around christmas with more time.
Would rather like to post these to peertube than youtube, but since i am using copyrighted music it feels wrong. Is it wrong? Like and subscribe my youtube channel, thx.
Little overnighter in Belgium before it gets too cold, wet and dark. Forgot my filters and didn't feel like cooking cowboy coffee, sitting in a Café now, getting some caffeine in :) Sunshine, beautiful autumn forest.
It's the older one of the two that grew up on my balcony. I haven't seen the younger one in a long time, this one i had not seen for two weeks (for which one i was on holidays).
Fed him some sunflower hearts. He is absolutely not scared of me and also not of my camera. When i tried to pet him, he picked at me and also hit me with a wing some time ago, haha. I don't think he'd do that if he was actually scared.
He then was sitting in the corner of the balcony where he used to sit with his little sister when they couldn't fly.
Mom and pops were just checking out my balcony again to find a place to nest, but i saw them do it yesterday already and upgraded the anti nestabiltity a bit. They left now, i don't think they found anything good today.
But this time with thin sliced peppers for more even coverage :)
Just onions, olives and oregano. Mmmh.
Maybe my favorite birds. She ate some raisins on my balcony (i keep count) and let me get all close, i didn't even realize she was there at first when i went outside.
I built this myself from sticks, wire, a plastic lid from a box of licorice, a lid with seeds and a small plastic bucket with some fatty homemade tit food. I stuck it into the flower pot, but it is quite shaky due to pigeons landing on top of it. And parakeets and apparently woodpeckers :)
Better view of it:
