I’ve never ONCE seen one of these and not being just like…absolutely riddled with tension, so. Keep passing them around, I guess!
The caption really doesn’t do it justice.
there are three types of pigeon breeds: "just your average french fry thief," "a little weird but nothing to write home about," and "what the fuck"

normal dude. just loitering around the city. kinda funky, interesting colorway, but feral pigeons have plenty of variety. not really of any particular note, all things considered
u know, that one’s a bit of an oddity right there. in the realm of weird, yeah, but i can still connect point A to point Z
what the fuck. no, seriously, what the fuck is this. how did you get to this morphology via selective breeding. what led you to choose to continue this at each and every step. what.
bonus: why they ourple

Hey Neil, I know this is a long shot but I'm really not sure where else to get industry advice since I don't know any authors. To cut a long story short: I wrote a children’s book and kickstarted it to fund self-publishing it. The kickstarter was really successful and I actually got an offer of publication from a publishing house to publish it through them. This obviously is great news! However, I need copies of my book to send to my backers and the publishing house appears to be asking me to pay full retail price for those books. I don't have any issue paying for the books I need, but from my research it seems to be that authors usually get some sort of discount if they want to buy their own books. Is there any sort of industry norm around this? If you wanted to buy a couple hundred copies of one of your books, would you expect a discount from retail price? I haven't signed anything yet and just want to check I'm being treated fairly.
The industry norm is that you as an author pay the publisher 40-60% of the retail price (normally it's 50%). That can be for single copies, let alone for hundreds.
It sounds like the "publisher" is essentially ripping you off here, or trying to. You have backers, you've already sold them books, now you need to print books and send them to them. And you need to make money doing this, otherwise you'll have done an enormous amount of work for nothing.
If I were you I would be careful, I would google the publisher, ask to speak to other people they have worked with, and check Writer Beware as well.

One of my favorite thing I’ve learned about animals studies is that you should avoid using colorful leg bands when you’re banding birds because you can accidentally completely skew the data because female birds prefer males with colorful bands
Apparently if you put a red band on a male red wing blackbird his harem size can double
So like you can completely frick up the natural reproduction of a group of birds by giving a guy a bracelet so stylish that females CANNOT resist him
Me, putting a red bracelet on the leg of a male red wing blackbird: ON GOD we gonna get u some pussy bro
I remember reading a study where researchers realized that female birds of a certain species preferred males with a darker breast. So they created what they literally called a “Super-Sexy Male” by catching a male and coloring his chest with a marker. They then ran dna tests on the eggs in the area.
Previously when the researchers had run these tests, they found a certain amount of infidelity was common for these birds. Somewhere around 10% of eggs were fathered by males who were not the primary mates of females.
After the advent of the Super Sexy Male, however, stuff got crazy in bird world. Infidelity skyrocketed, with upwards of 25% of ALL EGGS in the area being fathered by this specific male. Furthermore, his mate’s eggs were 100% his.
This is just insane to me. Just imagine you’re living your bird life when suddenly somebody scribbles on Dave’s chest and the ladies can’t stop throwing themselves at them. It’s stupid that we theoretically can wreck this kind of havoc on an ecosystem.
Shut up. That’s hilarious. I hope each and every cop involved has to personally give him $5000
