My 3rd Hive Birthday, and it's World Cassowary Day!

in FreeCompliments2 months ago

A couple days ago I achieved a milestone here on the blockchain. I completely missed it and likely wouldn't have noticed it until who knows when. I was lucky that @silversaver888 did notice it, thank you once again! I have been on Hive for three whole years now! I haven't been blogging that long, the first year and a half I was playing Splinterlands which is how I arrived here. Now things are completely opposite, I don't play Splinterlands all that much anymore and I blog most every day. I enjoy it more this way as the blogging has become more fun than playing.

It's kind of ironic that I first started blogging not because I really wanted to, but as a way to earn some extra money to invest into Splinterlands. That way I would not have to import any of my funds to keep progressing in the game. At first I tried blogging about my gameplay but quickly learned there were just too many people already doing that already. That changed my tactics, I started to reach out and explore communities. I quickly began to share with the Silver Gold Stackers because it's been a life long hobby of mine already. Nowadays I kind of share what I want and participate in a few weekly events. It's a lot of fun!

I want to say thanks to all of you who have supported me along the way, it's been a fun journey!

This post really would be way too short if I called it a day right here, so I want to share something that popped up online today, the World Cassowary Day.

Cassowary

These large flightless birds are native to New Guinea and a part of northern Australia. Although they may seem pretty they are in fact the world's most dangerous bird. They mainly eat fruit but also will hunt small animals for protein. They are relatively tall much like an emu at 1.5 to 1.8 m (4 ft 11 in to 5 ft 11 in) and weighing in at 58.5 kg (130 lb). They have three toes on each foot with sharp claws, the innermost having a long dagger like claw that can be up to 5 inches (125 mm) in length. They tend to live deep in jungles and avoid interaction with humans, usually hiding before they are spotted.

A cassowary attack

They tend to be very aggressive when pursued and use their long, sharp talons to cut the victims. Most human attacks have been people either feeding the birds or raising them in captivity. The most recent fatality was a man from Florida, US that raised the bird from a chick. One day the bird attacked him and he fell down and was clawed to death. Talk about a bad way to go...

I didn't know much about the cassowary until I looked it up this morning seeing that it was World Cassowary Day. The things you learn from random things online, so Happy World Cassowary Day to everyone as well!

I hope you all have a great Thursday, it's almost the weekend! Thanks for taking the time to check out my post. Please feel free to leave any comments or questions below. Thank you everyone for all of your support, it really means a lot to me. Stay safe everyone and far away from cassowaries!

Congratulations on your 3rd year, I'm guessing you started playing in 2021. A lot of people have come through splinterlands and many have found a home here and stuck around I'm glad you've actually adapted all through. Many more years to you.

They have been interesting times for sure. Hopefully we can keep it going for years to come!

Just stopped by to wish you a Happy 3rd Hiversary! Hope you're enjoying your journey and will continue to do so. I appreciate all the support you've given me the short time of our acquaintance. Take care.

Happy Hive anniversary. Even though you didn't start on the ground running with blogging you still have much to show for it in your growth :-) Many more to come.

Thank you! Now that I've gotten going I've seen my account really start to grow the last few months. Almost to 5K HP!

Happy Hive b-day and Cassowary Day! 😄😄

A friend of mine was hiking “Kennedy Track” along Mission Beach in North Eastern Australia. (Along the coast between Cairns & Townsville). She and her husband encountered TWO different Cassowaries on the trail!!!

Happy Birthday! Three years is definitely a good record on here. I've seen many people come and go in a much shorter time. Hive is a nice hobby and outlet for me. I find if really refreshing and even at its worst, I keep coming back each day.

I keep coming back too! It's sad to see people come and go, but I enjoy as well! Thanks!

Congrats. I completed 3 and now in January it'd be 4th year! Time does fly here. Enjoy your weekend.

Congratulations! On to number 4!

Happy 3 years my friend, here's to more!

Happy Third Birthday my friend!🤗
I always tell my friends that blogging is a great way to earn Crypto organically without breaking the bank!😊

A really great way to do it here. Almost all of my near 5K HP was organic. It can be done!

Absolutely my friend!👍😊
It’s strange how many people I know that are into crypto, but do not seem inclined to put out a post to earn organically!🤔😮

Congratulations to you.

Nice! Congrats! 😎
