Why are baby birds so suicidal. They barely have feathers and they jump from the fucking roof like 15 meters down in my stables 😭

This guy is the 6th I've found so far this year and the only one I've found alive and with a decent amount of feathers. All the others were all pink and dead when I found them. I think they died from overheating since their nests are right under the metal sheet roof and the parents threw the bodies out of the nest.

Last year I found two like this little one but they got caught by a neighbour's cat when I was feeding the horses.

There are no wildlife centres around me and the vets don't take them so I guess I'm stuck babysitting again.

Anyone has any tips on bird care ? I've got a cat and a dog inside so I don't think it's safe to bring him in.

Update :

I put it in a small cardboard box with a hole in the side to make a kind of bird box at about 16h and he was tweeting to his parents and hour later.

I went to check on him right now at 21h30 and he wasn't in the box anymore. I'm hoping his parents managed to get him back up in their nest but given his size I think it's unlikely they could carry him.

I haven't found infos on sparrows specifically getting babies back to their nest. Does anyone know if they can do that ?

I know a lot of birds continue to feed their babies if it's safe on the ground. I saw pigeons in my stables doing it a couple of years ago but do sparrows do that ?

Got paralives ! Just started playing with my little brother and he hijacked my computer to make me xD

Now I've got to go grocery shopping alone cuz he's not finished 🙄

[elealovesstarwars]

So excited that paralives is out but I don't know if my computer can handle it.

I checked on can my pc run it and it says low frame rate because of my gpu and ram but it's also previously told me I could run other games perfectly fine and they don't :/

What kind of PCs are you guys playing on ? I've got a Asus Tuf Gaming from that I've had since 2018 so I guess computer age could be the issue but I've changed the hard drive 3 years ago.

I have a job interview for my dream job and I just showed up 30 minutes early 💀

I'm waiting in my car on the parking lot, I feel like an idiot.

[elealovesstarwars]

I think I finally made a breakthrough in my clone drawing abilities ! (Face wise at least)

Drew a little clone wearing beskar, don't know which one. I just wasn't feeling the struggle of wearing clothes so beskar it is

Need to work more on anatomy and also not drawing laying down at a weird angle 🥲

[elealovesstarwars]

Finally started reading Imperial commando last week...

So this one is gonna take me a while to read, I guess 🫣 I can't make it through half a chapter without feeling like bawling my eyes out, and I'm only at chapter three 😅

anyone else get really bothered by the cartoon clone trooper shoes

Still figuring out how I want to draw clones and I haven't drawn in a while but here's a very quick and rough doodle of Levet with a newborn foal

Everyone on Kyrimorut can have horses and do equine therapy as a treat

[elealovesstarwars]

Finished Order66 last night 🥲 Cried a lot especially when they brought Etain's body back to Kyrimorut and her funeral. Kal grabbing her hand in the fire to say the gai bal manda so she doesn't go without knowing a parent.

Also Boss and Scorch feeling like shit because they see Darman staying with Niner when they left Sev on Kashyyk (really not looking forward to that part in the game)

So, according to Wookipedia, horses exist in Star Wars ! I knew there were horse adjacent species like the orbaks, but I didn't know about actual horses.

Apparently they were brought to Endor by humans but there's also horses on Dathomir. I have so many questions now !

● Like we know that the Nightsisters and the Ewoks ride them so would horse riding as a sport be a thing ? Would it be a one planet thing/tradition or could it be a galactic wide sport ?

● What kind of disciplines would exist ? I feel like there would be some type of working/western equitation but also maybe something similar to endurance and mounted games/polo/horseball.

● Horse trailers for land speeders ! And also horse freighter/cargo ships. Would horse do well with hyperspace travel ? It's already quite complicated to fly horses in planes so what kind of adaptations would a ship need to transport horses ? I really want to try and design some !

This makes me want to draw so many things. Also I want a ranch on a nice little planet now :(

Kept thinking about space travel for horses last night and I managed to come up with something.

I was thinking about real life comparisons to long transports like airplane and boat but what I forgot until now was the artificial gravity in the ships. This makes it more like land transport I guess than I usually thought.

Here's an rough design of a freighter I came up with :

It's quite big but I was thinking since this is a freighter that would likely travel through hyperspace with travel lasting days I wanted to add a paddock where the horses can interact and stretch their legs. It's not big but enough to prevent colicking. The stalls are narrow and would only be used from loading to hyperspace and before deceleration to landing. I was thinking thick padding on all four sides of the stalls to prevent injury in case a horse loses its balance.

In red there's the ramps with one access for the crew and the rest of the cargo and a big one at the back to load the horses with an airlock between the paddock and the door to facilitate unloading (in case all horses don't land in the same place for example).

Crew wise I went simple with bunks (though I guess with the size of the room it could be divided in smaller quarters since I haven't really figured out how much crew would actually be needed), bathrooms and living quarters with kitchen and living area.

I'd love to hear your thoughts about this and of you have any suggestions to make it better !

They did it again ! Seriously what's wrong with amazon 😂

I ordered the 3 books at the same time and set it so they would all come saturday and they send me the last book of the serie 💀

[elealovesstarwars]

I just finished Triple Zero last night and I caved and ordered True Colors, Order 66 and Imperial Commando this morning 🫣 they should arrive on Friday so I'll be spending Valentines day reading in bed 🫡

What kind of evil delivers the second tome before the first 😭

Was so excited for some reading today but it's gonna have to wait until tomorrow :(

And on the day ao3 is down as well 😂

[elealovesstarwars]

Hard Contact coming tomorrow 🥳

[elealovesstarwars]

Is getting a graphic tablet with a screen worth it ? I've had a screen less one for four years now and I'm still really struggling with not looking directly at what I'm doing.

Drawing digitally allowed me to make progress on my painting skills but I feel it has hindered my confidence a lot more and I barely pick up the tablet nowadays :/

I was told to get a tablet without a screen to learn, but am I really learning if I can draw for a maximum of two hours at a time ?
