ilx has a lot of avian issues this weekXD
― sarahell, Thursday, 3 March 2016 17:31 (eight years ago) link
The Eurasian jay was one of the many species originally described by Linnaeus in his 18th century work Systema Naturae. He recognised its affinity with other corvids, naming it Corvus glandarius.[2]
― сверх (nakhchivan), Tuesday, 19 April 2016 22:23 (eight years ago) link
there is a pair of these living nearby; they are a common normcore avian, though i have seldom seen them so close. they tend to flit around hyperactively in the trees, not yet quite in leaf. they look raffish without being either lowering in the manner of higher corvids, or delinquent in the manner of magpies which they otherwise resemble. the differences with the latter are instructive; swole rather than hench, less agitated though probably more agile. their footwork for a comparatively large avian is extraorindary, they seem to float above the branches as if cushioned by miniature air max 90s. they resist anthropomorphization more than the other corvids. they do not seem to have any affective idiosyncracies; their colouration may be lurid but they are otherwise neutral, typified by a sort of motivic listlessness that allows them do very little in any purposive sense, while seldom settling athwart any particular branch for very long.

whichever smartarse decided 'garrulus' was a more appropriate genus name deserves a particularly crass tick
also welcome back, etc

the bit about being cushioned by miniature air max 90s is the most on-point observation; they really do seem to flow about vegetation, rather than crash from branch to branch with the hyperbolic tail-dipping radge of a magpie. you get a lot of them near where i live.

saw a rufous hummingbird while taking a piss in a bush on Vancouver's "beer island" the other day. exceptional avian to observe whilst micturating
― trickle-down ergonomics (jim in glasgow), Tuesday, 19 April 2016 23:30 (eight years ago) link
they don't make all that much noise, again especially compared to magpies and the noise they do make is less distinctive than that of most other corvids.
― сверх (nakhchivan), Tuesday, 19 April 2016 23:31 (eight years ago) link
it's less insistent and noisy than most corvid cries, yes, but it can be quite copious. it's still a weird choice for 'garrulus'
had no idea hummingbirds went as far north as canada, truly the galapagos penguin of hummingbirds

I took pains to determine the flight of crook-taloned birds, marking which were of the right by nature, and which of the left, and what were their ways of living, each after his kind, and the enmities and affections that were between them, and how they consorted together.

It is clear that Khan doesn’t think there is much merit in appearing close to Corbyn in any way, even now that he has won his election. But what will be interesting is how critical the new Mayor decides to be of his party leader. Labour moderates are hoping that at the very least he will be what one described as ‘another woodpecker at the tree’, chipping away at the party leadership with similar comments to the ones he made over the weekend about the importance of actually winning elections.
