  2. Nope, no pigeons for me.
    I was just listening to some video in which a girl said: “I think criminals are people, too…” it was funny because she was talking about illegal activities (condemning it), but trying to be inclusive.

    It’s sad how some animals are considered cute/better than others.

    My favorite misunderstood animal? I don’t know if I have any… I think I understand them as much as I can. Hehehe

    1. Of course they are people. Biologically at least.
      Some people want to sound intelligent but fails big time.

      Yes. And that is something us humans have invented and view other humans the same way.
      As long as you are pretty or handsome, you will get both empathy and admiration.

      Sharks of course! Otherwise I haven’t achieved what I wanted with all my shark drawings 😄

  4. Crows! I think they are dark and beautiful and are as interesting as plenty of other animals. Just read an interesting article that said crows have regional dialects they take on when they decide to move to another region and want to fit in with the new birds. Neat!

      1. Agreed, and I believe there have been a number of documentaries on the Smithsonian Channel, and in several other places, about all these amazing creatures. They are an excellent way to come to know them as well. ^_^

  6. An interesting question Andrea. There is that tension between what people consider cute animals or as a problem. At the moment we are trying to grow trees to screen out a neighbour who took his down but a small group of fallow deer seem to have developed a taste for them! Some animals in large numbers are a nuisance and a danger to drivers. There is one lone white fallow stag who is stunning and we have watched him from our bedroom window as he munches on our acorns. We enjoy his visits and odd ones by a kangaroo and a joey.

      1. I watched a wonderful TV show last night about vets who performed operations on injured wildlife in NSW, near Bryon Bay. They repaired the wing of a Kookaburra, did x-rays on a tree frog and a baby carpet snake. But speaking of sea gulls they rescued one that had a horrible fishing hook stuck in its beak and called it Captain Hook. They did this amazing operation and was able to realise the silver gull back near the beach he came from. I live in Australia! Speaking of kangaroos I loved your drawing of one looking in the pouch. someone else beat me to that picture! We have screening cockatoos that wake up early Andrea! Lynn

        1. a magical friend recently disclosed a secret trade of hers that I did not even know was in the realm possibility. She affixed an artificial wing to a delicate butterfly – who in her presence humored her, and stayed calm and stoic throughout the process and whereupon my dear friend made the final stroke and laid down her glasses, the considerate butterfly, casually shook off her efforts and flew away on its tail wb accord 🤭

          another acquaintance of mine is a poetess, and she recently wrote about the butterflies breath – And I am so grateful to think about their beautiful breaths now too.

          Thank you for your share. I enjoyed reading your comment – Heather

  10. I’ve got a thing for this darling cricket who moved into our humble home and camped out behind our tall lwooden shelves – serenading my cherished feline and myself for 3 short evenings several months ago.

    Additionally, i’ve got a ‘couple’ cockroaches setting up shop in my home currently and while I appreciate them and I’m humbled by their company and choice to stay, I have to make a call to have them humanely rehomed Because I got chills they’re multiplying
