FINALLY I DREW A DECENT PICTURE OF HIM!

[tinysaurus-rex-deactivated20240]

So my friend’s kid has celiac and dyslexia and reading labels is difficult for them (also they’re like 7) so he’s teaching their pigeon, Grey Boy, to read the labels and identify ingredients with gluten. It’s going well, other than Nick thought it would be a good idea to make the behavior when the pigeon does find a bad ingredient to just fucking…wing slap the box. Just beat the shit out of it like, “no! BAD gluten! BAD!”

[solsticexolos-deactivated202407]

I see a lot of “they taught a pigeon to read?” comments and thought I’d explain a bit more.

So it’s not really like their friend’s pigeon now knows how to read. He’s not going to be terribly interested in a novel you hand him (unless he decides it looks like a good nest.) However pigeons are remarkably good at pattern recognition, especially visual patterns. They out-perform humans when it comes to things like identifying artwork/distinguishing between different artist’s works. So it is pretty easy for them to recognize a visual arrangement of ink, such as a printed word, and be taught to respond to that particular pattern. So when looking at an ingredient list the pigeon learns to pick out the specific pattern(s) he’s been taught to react to among the other patterns (words.)

So he sees “wheat” and doesn’t read it the way humans do (w-h-e-a-t spells wheat), but rather sees the arrangement of pigment that he has been trained to slap. So he slaps it.

He will have to be taught every single gluten containing ingredient for it to be super useful, but it is definitely possible, which is super cool! Plus it makes a little kid’s life easier, and enriches Gray Boy.

Skinner did experiments with pigeons that showed how a pigeon can learn to respond to a visual pattern cue, if your interested more in the science behind it.

Where are the people that accuse me?

The ones who beat me down and bruise me

They hide just out of sight

Can't face me in the light

They'll return but I'll be stronger

God, I want to dream again

Take me where I've never been

I want to go there

This time I'm not scared

Now I am unbreakable, it's unmistakable

No one can touch me

Nothing can stop me

Sometimes it's hard to just keep going

But faith is moving without knowing

Can I trust what I can't see

To reach my destiny

I want to take control but I know better

Forget the fear it's just a crutch

That tries to hold you back

And turn your dreams to dust

All you need to do is just trust

tbh I could totally see Seekers being social in a similar way to, like, rabbits

for those Not In The Know rabbits are ridiculously petty animals. they have p complex social structures and behavioral patterns with one another, but one thing they do is, like. so if they like you or they’re happy they’ll binky (do a little hop and a kick) or they’ll flop on their sides. HOWEVER, they will also do this in front of bunnies they HATE, as a way of saying “look at me! I’m happy because I’m an objectively better bunny than you!”

so like, yea, Seekers are way more social than other frame types and much more likely to form really strong bonds with each other,

but they’re also catty as FUCK and mechs that aren’t familiar with their behavior often can’t tell the difference between when they’re telling someone they like them and when they’re telling someone to eat shit

[tyrantofthefirmament]

I love this! Some Seekers are talking and one kinda flutters their wings, and suddenly the other Seekers are all “ OHHHHH SHIIIIT!” And like. square up beside whichever one they’re friends with in case a fight starts, and the grounders nearby are just like ????????? What? No one said anything! You guys were all fluttery and cute ??????

[primus-why]

So I'm reading "Awake" and I couldn't help but think of this scenario...

Optimus: And so... for the sake of our peace treaty, and for our own well-being, it is probably best that Autobots and Decepticons steer clear of each other... for the time being.

Everyone: [murmuring, unsure]

Starscream: PFFT! Frag that.

Optimus: I... excuse me?

Starscream: You're glitched if you think I'm gonna abide by that.

Wheeljack: You lookin' to start something, flight-frame?

Starscream: [snorts] Hardly! It's unrealistic to continue keeping Autobots and Decepticons apart. We should be learning how to cooperate with each other, and the Neutrals. Besides, anyone who's got a personal score to settle would probably disobey that order anyway.

Rumble: He's got a point.

Frenzy: Yeahhh, who else would know better than Starscream about disobeying orders?

Everyone: [some more murmurs, chuckling]

Starscream: Quiet, you! The point is we're ALL going to live on this planet, whether we like it or not.

Optimus: I have considered this, Starscream. But what can be done? Tensions between our factions are still very high...

Starscream: Well I know what I'M gonna do...

[Starscream marches over to Skyfire. His confidence is a total bluff, but the grounders don't know that]

Starscream: Skyfire... would you... like to accompany me to... that bar? Over there.

[He points to one of the few establishments available]

Skyfire: Starscream, I don't think--

Starscream: Wait, wait a klik. No tricks. No stupid war stuff. Just you, me, my trine, and a couple of friends you wanna bring along. Whatever. I don't care. What do you say?

Skyfire: I...

[Meanwhile, Starscream's stiff posture has his trine worried. He doesn't really take public rejection well... and it seems like this behavior is taking every ounce of confidence he can muster. He's really putting himself put there on this.]

Skyfire: [looks to his comrades]... Percy? Wheeljack? You wanna come too?

Wheeljack: HELL N--

Perceptor: Sure, why not.

Wheeljack: [sputters] You CAN'T be serious.

Perceptor: Mm... let's just see where this goes.

Wheeljack: [rolls optics] Fine. But I don't have to like it...

[Group starts to move up the block towards the bar. Ratchet begins to follow.]

Optimus: You too, old friend?

Ratchet: I'm not going for them. I'm going 'cause I've got spare credits and I've got nothing better to do...

Optimus: Mhm.

Ratchet: Plus, if this gets ugly for any reason I'll be right there. Doesn't that make you feel better?

Optimus: Why are you REALLY going, Ratchet?

Ratchet: To be honest-- Autobots... Decepticons... hanging out already?-- I need a drink.
