’JESUS CHRIST IN RICHMOND PARK: ORIGINAL UPLOAD’ One of my all time favourite YouTube-video’s, revisited in February.

More birds! "[R]esearchers showed that the urban finches rely so heavily on feeders that their beaks have adapted: they’ve become longer and deeper to accommodate the sunflower seeds typically on offer, which are much larger and harder than the small cactus and grass seeds that rural finches eat. This adaptation has altered not only how urban males sing, but also what urban females prefer in a mate.[...] Evolutionary theory aside, however, I was stuck on one point: There’s such a thing as a finch Brooklyn accent—thanks to feeders like mine."

I love looking at charts, in all shapes and forms, so it was a happy day when I stumbled upon Michelle Rial’s Real Life Charts.

Favorite February Trend setter of the month!
