Blue-crowned Ifrit (Ifrita kowaldi), male, family Ifritidae, order Passeriformes, Papua New Guinea

POISONOUS.

This bird has batrachotoxin in its skin and feathers. (Most likely obtained from consuming Choresine beetles.)

The type of sh!t I make when I’m stressed out part 2 I guess…

Bluethroat (Luscinia svecica)

It's either a chick or a parent who has a nest in this tree. No matter how many times I pass by, this bird is always there.

Did you ever wish you had a built-in blanket? Well, this cephalopod doesn’t need to wish… Meet the Indo-Pacific violet blanket octopus (Tremoctopus gracilis)! While males are tiny, rarely growing more than a few centimeters long, females are more than 10,000 times that size—reaching lengths of up to 6 ft (2 m)! Females also sport massive “blankets,” which are actually webs of skin connecting their dorsal arms. When threatened, they can drop these appendages, distracting predators as they make their escape. 

Highlights include:

For your first two years (when you were small) you lived in a foster home with people who raised you into a very polite young man. Two is like you plus me, that's what two is.

Some people adopted you before me and they called you Timmy (which is a stupid name) and they returned your ass almost immediately because you were so annoying at that age.

Like think about how annoying you are right now at seven years old, but way worse.

I'm better than them though, I don't call you Timmy and I wore earplugs to bed for three years because you love to scream at bedtime. Earplugs are like when I roll over and go back to sleep even when you are yelling so so so loud.

I got you at a time in my life when I was really sick (being sick is like when I'm up late because I'm throwing up and you are a very handsome good boy who sits with me) and they had to put me asleep for a procedure. A procedure is like what happened to you when they put you asleep and took your balls away.
