Blue jays and cardinals sometimes go through an annual molt like this. You can utilize this comic to think about other normal body experiences that society thinks is taboo. Talking about periods is a common example.

119: Normalize Bodies

Photo Description:
Panel 1: In the middle of winding branches zoomed in with various browns and greens is a screech owl named Nugget. She hears someone say from the left side, "I'm not coming out! I'm too embarrassed!"
There is a question mark next to Nugget.

Panel 2: There's a response from the right side, "I promise whatever your body is going through, you're not alone."
The left responds, "Alright..."

Panel 3: The panel zooms out to reveal a cardinal named Paprika on the left and a blue jay named Pepper on the right. Both birds are missing most of their head feathers.
Paprika, "Oh! You molted your head feathers too."
Pepper: "Yep! It's normal."

Panel 4: Nugget replies to them both, "It's important to normalize our bodies." There's a red heart above Paprika and a blue heart above Pepper.

I've been seeing this awful meme go around in many #Neurodivergent spaces with nothing but heart and laugh reacts.
This isn't funny, cute, or quirky. This HURTS businesses, especially smaller ones.
Prevent yellow by not reviewing.
You can be #ND and an a-hole. And this is definitely one of those times. There is no helpful feedback whatsoever, just a rating that'll hurt the owner.
DO NOT MAKE THIS A TREND.

Photo of a one star review that says,

"YES I KNOW I SAID STAR. I do not like the colour yellow so l always rate 1 star so that there is less of it on my screen.
THIS IS A POSITIVE REVIEW. NOT A BAD REVIEW, I AM RATING ONE STAR TO PREVENT YELLOW

THANK YOU"

Reminder to unclench that jaw and relax those shoulders.

Cute but threatening cartoon heart face of a barn owl named Cupcake saying "Unclench that jaw. (top) Or I'll unclench it for you. (bottom)"

A group of blue jays is also a band. Also this is why you're the Parliament. Some folks actually think I mean like the government. 😅

118: Group of Birds

Photo Description:
Panel 1: In the middle of a diagonal dirt and grass path surrounded by sunflowers on either side are blue jay named Pepper, a crow named Rye, a flamingo named Dragon Fruit, a great grey owl named Bagel, a budgerigar named Sherbet, and a fiery-throated hummingbird named Macaron. The sky is dark blue and sunset with orange clouds.
Pepper begins, "My raven cousin was telling me that a group of her is called an unkindness. I think she's plenty kind though."

Panel 2: She continues, "A group of me is called a party! What are your group names?"

Panel 3: Dragon Fruit responds, "Flamboyance!"
Bagel, "Parliament!"
Sherbet, "Chatter!"
Macaron, "Charm!"

Panel 4: Rye replies, "YEAH... I DON'T REALLY WANT TO TALK ABOUT MINE."

I GAVE UP HOPE! WE GOT OUR FIRST HUMMINGBIRD! I'VE NEVER SEEN ONE BEFORE!

Reposting. My own bar is on the floor this week. 😅💚

It is okay that your mental and physical energy level is different each day. Some days I can do many tasks. Sometimes just getting out of bed is the most I can do confidently.

117: Returning Home

Photo Description:
Panel 1: In a nest which is a variety of browns with a single blue forget-me-not flower on the outside is a stressed barn owl named Cupcake and her happy babies, Sprinkles and Confetti. They're in a green and brown tree with an orange and dark blue sunset background.
There are healthy and sparkling labeled plants: potted orchids named Orlando Bloom, a potted cactus named Cactus Everdeen, a potted sunflower named Keanu Leaves, and the whole tree named Morgan Treeman.
Cupcake says, "Aaaand we're finally home... Potato did a great job nest-sitting."

Panel 2: She continues in exhaustion, lying upside-down, "Oh hoot... The hardest task awaits. UNPACKING. Maybe we'll just unpack one item a day."

HEAT WAVE ALERT! ⚠️ Reminder to deep clean your hummingbird feeders DAILY this week. If you can't handle that, don't put them up.
You need to toothpick clean the inside of the little flowers too.They collect a LOT of mold if you don't.
I'm personally taking mine down because we don't get any anyway, and my flowers finally bloomed which is better for them if they arrive to my garden.

Reminder that doing your "half & half" to spoil them is actually really harming them too.

116: Relax

Photo Description:
Panel 1: Nighttime beach background with a stressed out barn owl named Cupcake sitting on a towel under an umbrella while her babies, Sprinkles and Confetti swim in the water with a beach ball.
Confetti says, "I love vacation!"
Sprinkles replies, "Me hoot!"
Meanwhile Cupcake says, "I really don't know how to relax..."
Present are a white gull named Sea Salt and a pink gull with him.
In the background is also a swimming mallard duck and a booby that's chatting with someone we can't see.

Panel 2: Cupcake sees the gulls, "Oh hey Sea Salt, and?..."
The duck swims futher out, as well as the beach ball.

Panel 3: Sea Salt responds, "THIS IS MY COUSIN, PINK SALT."
We barely see the duck and beach ball.

Panel 4: Pink Salt says, "THERE'S NO ONE CORRECT WAY TO RELAX, DEARIE. JUST DO WHAT YOU CAN AND WHAT YOU'RE ABLE TO DO."
Cupcake is happier.
The duck and ball are gone completely.

Me sorting through orders:
"I need to count my spoons..."

"Wow that could also be metaphorical because I'm exhausted today." Lol
