Nic/Moho's Nature Stuff

Nonbinary, she/they. Casual birder and botanist, beginner kemeticist. Mostly original content about life.

Hello! I felt like I should start a nature/irl blog on Tumblr as well (besides my main one on Instagram), so here I am!

I won't refer to myself by my preferred/formal name on Tumblr due to personal reasons. Still, you can call me Nic, Nia or Moho (my preferred name on this blog). I am a university student studying in the UK, but am originally from Hong Kong.

Birding is one of my favourite hobbies despite me only picking it up a few years ago (2023). I have improved a lot since then, and I love teaching my skills and sharing stuff about my interests to others who want to know more about it.

I will be sharing mostly original bird stuff on here, but I may reblog art that I post on my other blogs on here (@/nicleotidez, @/projectnomoho). I also have a Blogspot.

Due to the fact that my main username @/perspicillatus is taken on this site, I have decided to name this blog after yet another favourite recently extinct bird of mine - the Hawaiʻi ʻōʻō (Moho nobilis). I will mostly focus on extant wildlife on here and will reserve extinct stuff on @/projectnomoho, though!

Not posting this on my main Tumblr as this does concern private matters.

I am engaging myself in casual Kemetism (working out with ancient Egyptian deities/Netjeru) despite my religious trauma from past events. I really hope these deities will provide me with strength to overcome and stop thinking about what happened to me in my childhood.

I took some devotional art doodle requests on the Kemetic subreddit so that I can bring some of the Netjeru with me to the Hong Kong Palace Museum. (The full list includes Anpu/Anubis, Khonsu, Khnum, Hathor, Iah, Djehuty/Thoth, Seshat, Ma'at, Nefertem and Ra/Re.) Overall, I think they did help me overcome some of my insecurities in public, and I must admit that I stopped overthinking about what others would think about me because of them.

In the end, this was a fun visit! Even though there wasn't too much content related to unpopular Netjeru/deities, I still felt connected to them in a way that makes me feel happy and free instead of forced. I will continue practicing talking and working out with them in secret (family reasons) and hopefully I will feel much better about myself and my past.

Just found this funny enough to put here - I bet all the non-birders on my course were confused as to why they had to ID the birds for themselves when the guide is supposed to help them with bird ID.

For context, this page is from an ID guide for my field course that is supposed to contain "vital information" to help students with animal and plant ID.

And almost every other page besides this had detailed notes on identifying plants and animals.

Honestly the most depressing thing about extinct species I've personally seen in a museum so far

(And yes, they did not leave my homie Moho nobilis out.)

when your local museum supports both the destruction of nature and the conservation of biodiversity at the same time (yes the ai gallery involves ai art)

I can't attend the Hawaiʻi exhibition over at the British Museum due to time- and school-related reasons, so I had to make my most expensive impulse purchase yet. Around £45 (shipping included) for the official book and the museum-exclusive postcards from the online shop. I'm especially excited for the postcards, because...

LOOK AT THEM. LOOK AT MY BABY NOW. IT'S THE HAWAIʻI ʻŌʻŌ THEMSELVES AS A POSTCARD AHHHH

anyways i bought these and they should be coming this friday if i am lucky

new birdsona art (based on nākeiki on my alt @/projectnomoho. this version of her is basically just "what if nākeiki had to adapt to society and wasn't allowed to be herself")

she is a hawaiʻi ʻōʻō (Moho nobilis), you might know her close cousin (the kauaʻi ʻōʻō) as it was popularized in memes. yeah she's just them but on a different island /hj

also yeah. i did use her as an excuse to take over@/moho-nobilis on here. don't mind me lol

This curious little European robin (Erithacus rubecula) was one of my highlights during my visit to Newquay Zoo yesterday. It was a delight to be able to approach this little one up close, which led to some very good photos!
