When is the last time you sat down outside and watched some bugs? They’re small and beautiful and make the world go round. Some of my favorite childhood memories include turning over rocks in the desert, looking for centipedes and scorpions with my dad. I highly recommend watching some bugs go about their day; bees and ants are especially enthralling.
ideally i would love to gain the trust and respect of a corvid 🐦⬛ they love to give and receive tiny gifts and i relate to that. goose and swan are also great options though a bit riskier since these guys can get mad as hell and those long necks are powerful i would also love to volunteer at a raptor sanctuary and help take care of falcons, owls, etc. i feel pretty sad and disturbed by most caged birds and having a parrot, for example is a massive emotional responsibility, their lifespans also mean it’s a lifelong commitment, i probably wouldn’t go this route but respect those who do it right 🫡
one of my favorite artists. the sculpture in the photo is in clay but his work includes lots of deer motifs, wood, terracotta, moments from indigenous mythology...
