Do you ever tell your boyfriend how much you like Jochen? 😂

I'm curious whether guys get jealous when they hear something like that. Or are they more shocked by his background.

The last time I sent him a video of an old fighter jet, he didn't seem to have any problem with it.But if it were a video of a handsome guy, that might be a different story. 😂

I've been chatting with a guy for a while, and he told me he has a girlfriend. I couldn't help thinking that if she ever wanted to come after me, she'd have to sit through a flight that takes several hours first. Unless she's flying a fighter jet😂

the egyptian vulture is a small vulture found from the iberian peninsula to north africa, west asia and india. like many vultures, a large portion of their diet consists of carrion - however, they are opportunistic feeders that eat a variety of found foods, and willing hunters. they predate on small mammals, birds, and reptiles, and are known for their love of feeding on the eggs of other birds. large, thick-shelled eggs are difficult for the vultures to open, and they have been recorded using tools to access the inside of the egg, such as dropping rocks onto the eggs to crack them open. egyptian vultures have also been recorded using tools in other ways - they use twigs in order to roll up found wool to bring back for use in their nests. adult birds’ plumage is white overall, with black flight feathers. they also have notable bright yellow facial skin, which is bare as in other vultures. wild birds often appear brown or rusty in color from contact with iron-rich soil. the egyptian vulture is currently considered endangered by the IUCN. with few natural predators for adult birds, most of the threats to wild populations are human-influenced, such as poisonings (both accidental and intentional), hunting, pesticide accumulation and collisions with power lines.

Lmao, I had a dream this morning where I French-kissed Jochen. It felt amazing ;)

After I woke up, I kept thinking back on it for a long time hahahaha

On this Scavenger Sunday, we have a vulture's beard (but not a bearded vulture) to remind us that the vulture trait is "reduced feathering on the head" not a "featherless head".

It is Scavenger Sunday, and Eleanore is demonstrating proper mouse eating etiquette at the Albuquerque BioPark Zoo.

Forgive me. I keep having indecent thoughts about this great fighter pilot. I have sinned. I repent...

with his left hand

Liebe Eltern! Ich bin also glücklich wieder in Osterholz gelandet. Entschuldigt bitte meine Handschrift, denn ich habe mir etwas meine rechte Hand auf der Baustelle verletzt. Ich habe ein 1 cm tiefes Loch zwischen Daumen und Zeigefinger, sodaß drei Finger steif sind und ich links schreiben muß. Es ist aber ungefährlich. Wie geht es Großvati? Schreibt bitte sofort. Gruß und Kuß Euer Sohn **** *******

So cute, I want to squeeze him
