.Cheyenne Beach, MSc🦆🦆🦆 already saved #WOS2022 by running out and buying replacement projectors, and is now telling us about scaup (duck) physiology! Did not know scaup are the most abundant diving duck in N America

But why are scaup declining? Wetland loss and pollution, decreased food abundance, increased competition with fish— is this the full story? Cheyenne Beach, MSc🦆🦆🦆 says probably not and points to spreading epizootic disease— trematodes that live in snails #WOS2022

These disease outbreaks can lead to mass die-offs, but Cheyenne Beach, MSc🦆🦆🦆 is interested in what happens to the birds that haven’t died— how does the trematode parasite impact living birds? #WOS2022

How do we help these scaup? Give these ducks more stopover sites so the birds and parasites’ densities are lower. Cheyenne Beach, MSc🦆🦆🦆 #WOS2022

I'm always double fisting birds as much as I can! I'm pictured here with a female (left) and male (right) pair of redheads.

Agreed! I felt really safe and taken care of!

Genuinely bitter that people are insisting on doing things in person-only again. Was really hoping the accessibility of virtual events would be embraced as a part of this new pandemicine normal, but...

4 wheel ridin 2 u fat!so? I actually answered elsewhere, I would have loved fatphobia there instead. Since that’s actually the root of the issue and doesn’t demonize fat people.

explaining the emu drama over the last week like no babe there are two tiktok emu girls. the cool one has the mean emu. the racist one is the one who kept kissing her emu after the rest of her farm birds got bird flu. here's the twist he didn't even have bird flu, it was stress.

no babe even though he doesn't have bird flu a lot of people are still mad at the racist emu girl for being racist and for kissing a possibly sick bird. no yeah a bunch of bird experts told her not to get close like that but she refused to wear a mask because it scared the emu

yeah babe so everyone would've been super pissed if we had another devastating pandemic because this girl wouldn't stop kissing her sick emu

What a time to be alive and horribly aware of everything

There should be a word for the opposite of mansplaining: When you keep telling a man something you know to be true, and he won't listen until you show him that another man said it also.
