It's amazing watching the little phoebe chick's hatch, then fly away 10 days later.
Short childhood 🤣

☺️ Yeah sure, next thing you'll be telling me is they don't have feathers when they hatch!

Sheesh, your a busy bee for 40 acres! Not that that's small, but the stuff you show you do one would think it was 3 times that or more. You utilise it well going by what I see on here.

Baby birds, or hatchlings, typically emerge from their eggs either with down or very few feathers, or even completely naked. Some birds, like ducks and chickens, have a layer of downy feathers at hatching. Others, like songbirds, may be almost entirely featherless.

Elaboration: Bluebird is a songbird so naked as a new born child.

Next question.
Actually I watched a Aussie give a really good chat up on a video. Bloke was down right sincere about the state of your home.
It's probably too big of a file to send but I'll try to do it in sections.

Yeah when I was a kid we used to climb trees to see the eggs and chicks.
The really high dodgy trees I used to pay this other kid 20 cents to go up and get them. He was a horror head as in rotten. He'd yell out "the branch cracked" Id yell back "it looks ok to me".

Saw still giving me a bit of a headache. Now it stalls out instead of idling. Learned how to take a stop out of the low speed setting on an ECHO saw carb.this morning.
Cut up more logs, decided that maybe Saturday would be a good day to take off on the road trip.

I had a brush cutter, we call them whipper snippers, anyway it stopped idling when you let go of the trigger and died. In warranty and the place I got it was close by. So thought ok I won't visibly fiddle with it just in case they blame me.
So I take it to the place. They say leave it with us come back in the afternoon.
I go back. "That'll be $140 mate".
Im "um excuse me mate I got that here just 2 months ago with 12mth warranty for just $120 normal retail. Can you please give me a logical reason why this warranty fix is more than the entire original price?"
It was the boss too. His face dropped and he checked and yep a $120 unit to fix the idle was more than its total price to buy.
Of course it was just take off a cover and adjust the little carby screw which again I left alone so as to not be blamed. Rip off dogs, 2 minutes using a little spanner and a Philips head screw driver $140.

Common Ghost Moth and I think they are pretty much a worldwide moth with different patterns and colours but you don't realise how beautiful their wing patterns are until you get in close. Works of Art.
