Not the Verbena bonariensis? I think it looks very much like that one, although i now read they grow 150cm tall, sometimes 180. I just measured mine and my guess was pretty good, its 195cm tall.

Thank you, the flower looks very similar, but i think mine is growing too tall for this to be right.

[–] bonjour@mander.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

Ha, yeah that's it! Thank you both!

Sounds good, i mean, at least nobody's bothering you for feeding the pigeons :)

It does not have many leaves really, but they look like this:

edit: But some kind of buddleia seems right i guess, thank you.

Haha. That is a pretty big group, are the neighbours down with it?

They've been loyal and patient and it's about time for the food to appear.

Love it, thank you!

[–] bonjour@mander.xyz 2 points 1 week ago

Ah, yeah that sounds good :)

I'm a bit scared of vipers, haha. Did they leave when you were getting closer? Were you just in the Pyrenees or are these pictures from another time? Really loved it there and I want to go back for more.

I'd usually have zero problems with cross posting, it's usually because someone is interested in the topic or appreciates the post. Good intentions. I have been cross posted a few times before and thought that was neat.

The last post of mine that got crissposted to corvids apparently got removed by the sopuli admin for being "spam" lol, I guess someone reported it.

Crowsposting, huh? Good one 😁

I don't think what they do could reasonably considered being "tasteful". Honestly bums me out on the fediverse, makes me not want to post to crows because i will get angry when minutes later the repost comes in.

 

Hello bird friends. I have created a pigeon community to not post too much pigeon stuff here, as i don't think it fits all that well, but on some occasions i feel like it'd be fine to post. Like this one i took yesterday of this sweet couple. If you like pigeons, you are very welcome to !pigeon@mander.xyz .

In a metro station. Pretty damn cool how it was sailing all the way down the long escalators.

This young pigeon showed up in our yard a few weeks ago. It was searching for food pretty much all day below a feeder that's hanging in the garden, desperately looking for scraps that the finches and tits would leave. I felt a bit sorry for it. When it made its way to the balcony i gave it some seeds but quickly stopped doing so again, because it started squatting the balcony for the whole day. I don't want it to think that life is about hanging out on the balcony, waiting for someone to show up with seeds.

A few days ago then i was watering the balcony plants in the evening and noticed pigeon shit on the basil. I looked up and there it was sleeping:

(was a lot darker than it seems on the photo)

It must have slept there the night before already. I moved the basil and built some kind of poo catcher. Quite impressive how much poo it left in a night 😅 It stayed for about five nights but yesterday it did not show up, i guess it was too busy on the balcony. Still leaving the poo catcher for now in case it shows up again tonight.
