Meta Knight was introduced in Kirby's Adventure, yet in the very next mainline game Kirby's Dreamland 2 he's entirely absent. Why's that ? well I have a little idea

the pacific parrotlet (forpus coelestis) is a small parrot species native to western ecuador and northwestern peru. while their range historically favors dry habitats such as deciduous forest and desert, deforestation in their range has pushed parrotlets into more humid environments. they typically live in flocks of 40 to 50 birds, and are non-migratory, meaning they maintain the same territory year round. in the wild, the average lifespan of a pacific parrotlet is 10.4 years, but in captivity they may live for upwards of 20 years. they have become increasingly popular in aviculture, however, their small size is deceptive to some prospective owners; sometimes referred to as ‘mini amazons’ in reference to boisterous amazon parrots, parrotlets are known to have short tempers and feisty personalities. although their ‘voices’ are not as clear as some larger birds, they are capable of mimicry. in captivity, they often become aggressive with cagemates, despite living in large flocks in the wild; this may be partially due to many parrotlets being kept in unsuitable housing for pairs. with proper care, they are often curious, cheerful birds who can bond closely to their caretakers.

Sucks how many people were taught that "horses put their ears back when they're mad" but then never taught the difference between "angry backwards ears," "mildly annoyed backwards ears," "pain backwards ears," "concentrated backwards ears," "sleepy backwards ears" and "just happens to be listening to something behind it."

"Horses put their ears back when they're mad" idk man i think it depends

These are all completely different expressions in completely different scenarios, and only two of them are decidedly negative.

Actually, I wanna talk about the third horse, the one putting its ears back in pain. Over the last 15 years veterinarians and animal scientists have worked out pain scales for most domestic animals by taking photos of the during routine procedures.

We know vaccines painful, and by comparing horses at rest with horses getting vaccinated, we've been able to determine how they express pain visually. By looking at horses with disorders like colic, broken bones, wounds, and so on, we can determine their facial expressions during more severe pain.

At zookeeper school we were drilled through the pain faces of the most common lab animals and livestock. Nowadays I believe this has become a routine lesson in all animal related fields, but the general public still doesn't know that this is a thing that exists.

Here are all the pain face/grimace scales I've been able to find. Please study them if you interact with any of these animals on a regular basis:

Pixel post dividers for everyone! It's not much, but feel free to use them if you'd like. I don't know the ideal size for these, so let me know if they're too tall. I can make them a bit shorter next time.
