RE: show me a photo contest - pigeons again?! (6 foto)

Yeah the pigeons butt tops everything ๐Ÿ˜‚!!!!! So funny.

And the Grebe "duck" is nicely captured as well!

They are actually not really ducks. They are an own family within the birds, and they are tied to water as they are divers. Thats why their appearance is so distinctive. Also their bones are not as hollow as with other birds, cause they only get out of the water when nesting or taking a break. Some species within the family can't even fly anymore. Sorry for being a smartass, but that's what I recall learning in school back then ๐Ÿ˜‡๐Ÿ˜….

I love how much you know and was quite excited to see you join the DNA Discord I hope you get involved. I wish I had more time to spend there!

Hey Melinda, I appreciate you saying this :).

But to keep it in the context of the greek philosopher Sokrates - The more I know, the more I know that I know nothing.

I don't consider myself knowing a lot, I see it more like having a lot of interest in certain things. So I try to educate myself about them with the knowledge available and my own experiences.

About the discord, I will check in once in a while but to be honest as of now I am not sure what to make of it. I feel like crushing a party and to buttonhole people is not so much in my nature. Maybe it is because I am rather new to the whole social media thing. Until last year everything was more or less a one on one thing with people, due to my jobs.

Now I'm at home trying to dive into the world of online communication and sometimes I feel like a weird intruder ๐Ÿ˜… .
