The threadiverse is small (compared to other major platforms) and I often see usernames that I recognize. How well do we notice each other around here?
I’ll start… my name’s “MrShankles” and I do be commenting/posting from time to time

Templates to make my wood cutouts and to give the painter references.
Finished cutouts
Plushies next to their respective cutouts. The small Screech is larger, so she will be weighted as a female, and the Great Horned is a little small, so he’ll be weighted to be a male.
First 4 painted by our artist. Exceeded my expectations!
Those are awesome! I bet getting to work with raptors/owls is so interesting, kudos for finding a passion! We really do have some cool people around here
It’s really satisfying to both learn about our local wildlife, and also to see so many caring people all in one place while it feels like the world is going to hell. It has really made me appreciate my community and local environment.
The owls are beautiful and amazing, but they are also kinda the biggest a-hole cats you’ve ever met. The hawks and corvids are more “fun” since they are often curious and a bit more interactive with me in positive ways. We also have a wild bald eagle right now in addition to our ambassador bald eagle, and they are just undeniably impressive creatures to see up close. I’m also constantly surprised to see animals come in that I didn’t even know lived in this part of the country. We had a Brown Thrasher, which is apparently called the Eastern Roadrunner because it runs around a lot on the ground. We also sometimes get minks and beavers from the very southern part of our county. With us being mainly suburban, I don’t think of these guys still being so close to us. And there’s tons of more somewhat ordinary animals like kinds of frogs and turtles I’ve never previously learned about.
This is a Diamondback Terrapin that prefers our one sink to the turtle tanks, so they called her Sadie Sink. The photo doesn’t do her justice! The patterns on her skin and shell are so amazing!
