Birding in the archives: #Peacock (f.33r) + #Parrot (f.53r) in the marginalia of a Book of Hours, Northern France, 16th c., @UDLibrary Special Collections MSS 095.031.
#BirdsInArt
ℹ️ While neither bird is native to Europe, both were known since ancient times as exotic imports; each was then adopted into Christian symbolism, with the peacock associated with immortality and the all-seeing eye of God and the parrot with the praise of God and the Virgin Mary.

Thanks for the heads up!!

For almost all of us who missed it, SurrealEstate S3 premieres today at 10 pm EDT in North America.

It’s a great little spooky sci-fi horror show with a great, diverse cast. Just the quirky Canadian thing to wryly lighten our viewing.

Who starts promoting a season premiere the week it takes place?!!

(No, an ‘AOL exclusive’ and a Syfy blog page a month ahead isn’t getting the word out.)

I’ve been waiting for this for a year with no updates from either CTV or Syfy. One would think they wished the show would fail…

But it shouldn’t. It deserves all its viewership and fans in North America, Latin America and Europe.

And finally caught this sneaky one! :neofoxthief:

I think it's not a real albino one because it should have reddish eyes while he has normal ones like the others. Still waiting forever to get a photo of his plumage. So far, no luck. Maybe spring time will work now.

Kinda funny that the zoo has more than one leucistic peacock. The park in Poing seems to have none despite having a questionable amount of them. :D
