I heard angry Sulphur-crested Cockatoos overhead and found them yelling at a Grey Goshawk!

@raccoonologist.bsky.socialDon’t know if any of you are @theskepticsguide.bsky.social fans, but I’m really hoping that Julia is guesting on the podcast because theyre considering making her a rogue. It’d be so cool if the podcast carried on to the next Novella generation… !
@dermotlynott.bsky.socialReposted by @raccoonologist.bsky.socialMe: I need to keep this computational environment stable for reproducibility purposes, so I'm just going to switch off automatic system updates for now IT Services:
@raccoonologist.bsky.socialEvery blue moon I wonder what the cockatoo folks are up to at the moment in Hong Kong. The answer: pretty cool stuff !

@bonhanson.bsky.socialReposted by @raccoonologist.bsky.socialNot your typical 'cat stuck in a tree' call. A baby bobcat got stuck on the top of a power pole in Kelowna. He waited until the rescue man reached him in the lift and said, "No thanks, I got it," and shimmied down himself. 😂🤣

@c0nc0rdance.bsky.socialReposted by @raccoonologist.bsky.socialThis is Huckleberry, an animal ambassador at the Nashville Zoo. Huckleberry is a Javan ferret-badger (Melogale orientalis) & I think he is amazing, but you need to meet the rest of the ferret-badger crew (babies incoming 😃). Let's learn about ferret-badgers!
@drspacejunk.bsky.socialReposted by @raccoonologist.bsky.socialThe first time I saw a bottle of clamato juice on a Canadian supermarket shelf I felt like the world had glitched
@raccoonologist.bsky.socialCanadians: “Hear me out, what if we made a Bloody Mary…” World: “Yes?” Canadians: “… but we add clamato juice…” World: “Sorry, tomato uhhh… clam… juice?” Canadians: “… and we call it a Caesar so it sounds exotic” 😁 World: “Yeah, so, uh what was that about clams again???” 🥴
@raccoonologist.bsky.socialCongrats !
@raccoonologist.bsky.socialJust a couple of a postdocs working on papers in the graveyard. PI called, tried to make her guess where we were.

@raccoonologist.bsky.socialThis was my first PhD experiment…. I learned a lot about how not to design an apparatus 😂 Sometimes you can take the “comparative” part of cognition too literally …
@raccoonologist.bsky.socialI’m not fancy, but I’m feeling awfully fancy with my new scientist access card for the Austrian National Library 😎
@raccoonologist.bsky.socialMy home province man. Bleak.
@raccoonologist.bsky.socialI’m sorry 😞 those re-realizations are rough
