Wohoo! My contraptions once again featured in @TheMagPi! On page 32/33 of issue #70 you’ll find an interview about Enzo’s Activity Board!

Magpi

Almost forgot about these two. This is Barker and Cassidy, two thieving bird bots who give Jinx hassle every other week day. No one is sure where they came from or what their function is but they seem to enjoy stealing and hoarding other peoples things. Fun facts:

Barker (black) is leaner and faster than Cassidy. Barker is the more aggressive of the duo and tends to peck things when agitated.

Cassidy (blue) is very agile and can carry more weight than Barker. Cassidy is very excitable and doesn’t stay still long.

They hate all flight capable RM’s with a passion. Asimov have mercy if you get too close to their ‘hoard’ of stolen items.

Will steal from anyone. I mean anyone.

They seem to like Jinx enough to respond to her commands. She’s the only bot so far who’s been able to catch the pair so they seem to respect her enough for her to be considered part of the flock. That doesn’t mean she’s immune to theft though.

This poor little guy has these huge lumps on the side of his face, one seemingly covering one of his eyes. he seemed kinda weak but hanged around a lot. He did let me get close enough to him for me to take this pic, but if I got a bit too close he’d fly off to the fence. Tbh I wonder if he might be blind in that eye. My only guesses as to what this could be is Avian Poxvirus or a really nasty parasite. Either way, we’re thinking of getting him to a wildlife vet. I have posted him on Reddit but got no response.
