The Cape Parrot - South Africa's only endemic parrot species is listed as vulnerable in the South African Red Data Book of Birds; meaning that they are faced with the risk of extinction in the wild.

So, I made a short video to help raise awareness for this wonderful species of parrot, only found natively in South Africa and at risk of becoming an endangered species with an estimated population of fewer than 1800 individuals remaining.

If you stick around to give it a watch, I appreciate you and hope you learn something of value :)

u survive literally every single event in your life & still every time a new event happens you feel like this is the event that will kill you and that you will never move on from but actually you will continue to survive like you always have bc u have a 100% win rate of surviving events. btw

I’ve been trying to learn how to decorate cakes and cupcakes, these are some of my first tries. Hoping to improve with time :)

it’s completely acceptable to stay alive for tiny reasons. because you want to hear your favorite song one more time. because your dog will miss you if you leave. because the moon is just too pretty to never see again. because you haven’t seen the next season of a really good tv show. because you want to see the christmas lights this year. if you’re alive, you’re doing enough. if you’re surviving, i’m proud of you.

A Christmas gift for my mom; painted with a mixture of watercolour & gouache.

Inspired by the African Paradise Flycatcher we hear singing in our garden each evening & whose vivid colours we spot amongst the leaves on some lucky occasions.

Today’s little work in progress. Slowly getting back into using Good Omens for inspiration after a necessary break.

Just blocking in colour at the moment.

Based on this photo, of course.

top five most important things you can give a character. 1. bisexuality. 2. autism. 3. so much negative rizz it loops around into irresistibility. 4. so many bad events. 5. a coping mechanism that’s cute and silly provided you don’t think about it too hard

Today I painted a Pin-tailed Whydah as a gift for my mom. There was a pair that would visit our garden a few years back and she misses seeing them flitting about.

Tried baking a multigrain loaf for the first time.

It’s my mom’s favourite type of bread but it’s gotten so pricey in our shops that I decided to see if I could make it at home instead.

It tastes really good, but I can definitely make a better loaf than this.

If you want to try it yourself, the dough is actually really easy to make, just search soft multigrain bread on Sally’s Baking Addiction.
