Just as I was debating whether I wanted to specialize in genetics I found this blog. Maybe this will give me motivation to commit

So the entire group of Kestrel is a giant Polycule where everyone kisses each other, and they have 4 pets, and Oli has a (totally real) wife, and Sausage keeps rizzing up NCPs, and Kyle is maybe sort of dating Scott and Scott is also dating Sausage as well it seems, and Martyn hates Scott becasue of the faction Scott is in, and one of the members of Kestrel died and her girlfriend did as well as the same time.
Is what I'm getting

BOTD: American Kestrel
Tumblr media
Photo: Joseph Gage
"Our smallest falcon, the kestrel is also the most familiar and widespread in North America. In open country it is commonly seen perched on roadside wires, or hovering low over a field on rapidly beating wings, waiting to pounce on a grasshopper. Kestrels nest in cavities in trees; in places where there are few large dead snags to provide nest sites, they may rely on nesting boxes put up for them by conservationists."

Important reminder to scurvyblr!
it is very known among scurvyblr that the kestrels are fruity as fuck and are shipped a lot but there is something that we all have to keep in mind
Tumblr media
Kyle is uncomfortable with being shipped with his friends
when it comes to the boundaries of the other kestrels
Sausage and Oli are okay with being shipped
i dont think Martyn has said anything on it(please correct me if he has) but its safe to assume that he is also okay with being shipped as he has reblogged ship content of his character before
Scar has also not said anything i believe
Ship respectfully everyone!
(reblogs for reach are appreciated)
(the screenshot is taken from this pirates smp google doc)

A Falco Feathursday
This Feathursday we showcase three of the smallest falcons in Europe and America: the Eurasian Hobby (Falco subbuteo), Common Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus), and American Kestrel (Falco sparverius). All are in the genus Falco, and all occupy a similar niche within the falcon genus, although the Hobby is more falconesque in its hunting behavior. The American Kestrel, however, may not be a true kestrel, but seems more closely related to other North American falcons.
These paintings are by the British bird artist Terance James Bond and are reproduced in our folio volume Birds, The Paintings of Terance James Bond, published in Cambridge, England, by the Lutterworth Press in 1988. Of his painting of the American Kestrel, Bond writes:
The species . . . can be found in parkland, farmland, and the margins of towns and villages [and cities!]. To hint at this association with modern man I have chosen to illustrate my male bird against a setting of sawn logs. This I feel works very well, the firewood is a perfectly natural element but the presence of civilised man is suggested through the obviously unnatural arrangement of the timber. The bird could be sunning itself in somebody's farmyard or rural garden and has taken advantage of the perching point whilst it sits and waits for the arrival of a potential snack.
