Today's unexpected Other Duties as Required: wrangling baby pigeons.

They're safely on the porch, rather than in the middle of construction, now at least. Tiny little feather dusters.

The Miraculous Resurrection of Notre-Dame Cathedral

How an army of artisans on a five-year deadline turned back time to restore a centuries-old masterpiece—by hand.

From the article:

In 2012, Fromont, then a 35-year-old scholar at Paris’s École de Chaillot, decided to address that absence. For his advanced degree, Fromont proposed spending a year surveying every inch of the charpente. When they were at last granted permission, he and his partner on the project, Cédric Trentesaux, entered the cathedral’s south transept and climbed a winding staircase into the triangular south gable. There they squeezed through an aperture and entered a medieval realm barely visited in over 800 years.

SILVER PHEASANT || Lophura nycthemera

I got him off a teacher for 25 bucks who was clearing his attic out. He loved this mount but had no room for it anywhere and now it had to go.

This mount is estimated to be 30+ years thus some age related damage is expected.

I'll post updates on him after I get his face and spur fixed and I'll check him for moths before putting him with my other mounts. ((thus bathroom arrest.))
