Howzabout Strine bin chickens, mate?
wiki say
The Australian white ibis (Threskiornis molucca) is a wading bird of the family Threskiornithidae. It is widespread across much of Australia. It has a predominantly white plumage with a bare, black head, long downcurved bill, and black legs. While it is closely related to the African sacred ibis, the Australian white ibis is a native Australian bird. Contrary to urban myth, it is not a feral species introduced to Australia by people, and it does not come from Egypt. …

Zone of Interest was a phenomenal film. I don’t watch the documentary about the family that came out around the same time though. I wasn’t really that interested in them. Fiction was a better way to explore their stories.

Interesting that the image brought Zone of Interest to mind for you. I can see the connection, and I do think a great way to interpret that film is as an allegory of sorts for how so many of us live now.

Well it was a straight up depiction of how people lived then, and we’re not so different, so I think it is we who are recapitulating it.
It was more the comments following it that made me think of it really.
(And not to pick on the US it is the source of wealth for most countries of European descent. All of them as far as I know )

I started a nature journal a couple of years ago, concentrating mostly on plants, with some insects. I did not keep it up, sadly; life got very busy even though I was retired, but I learned a lot about the plants at my cottage and on my street in Toronto.
