Once we had some mirror tiles set up as a garden decoration, until a blackbird spent over three hours attacking its reflection. Then we took them down.
The goose below is having a similar problem with some mirror-glass windows.
And for some reason, this video is actually quite funny.
The print is based on kozy’s 2009 drawing “Spirit Animal Collective”. The drawing was the culmination of kozy’s 4 year-long “Unknown Portraits” project, which involved Kozy’s nearly obsessive search through old photographs in junk shops from Australia to Spain to Northern England to San Francisco to our own backyard in Venice Beach (and more!). Most of the drawings were the size of playing cards, but for the final artwork Kozy [created] a massive graphite rendering of a 1940’s-era New Zealand primary school class photo. In it she imagined the camera to reveal the spirit animal within each of the students. This summer we decided to produce a colorized version reminiscent of old tinted photos (Dan’s grandmother used to tint photos as a side job while raising her children) and this is the result.
Here’s a fast-bodged-up reaction gif for all Isaac-traumatising occasions.

Do you ever wonder if the reason that different cultures have such wildly different onomatopoeias for the noise a cat makes is that cats have regional accents?
Actually, they do.
There’s a lot of evidence that animals have regional accents. Both birds and sperm whales in fact to vocalise differently depending on where they grew up.
As for felines themselves, there’s an ongoing study underway on at Lund University precisely about this.
As a phonologist who has watched entirely too many cat videos on the internet, I can confirm that cats of differing countries do have differentiated accents in their cries. Felines in England tend to have shorter, lower “mow” whereas Japanese cats do tend to make glides into high vowels, and are sustained longer, such as the ubiqutous use of “nyaaaan” in Japanese onomatopoeia.
Hope this helps.
WHAT? ?
Makes perfect sense since cats meow at humans as a specialized interaction with us that does not exist in the wild. Means their meows are cultural not inborn.
Not just cats. The songs of the tui differ from place to place as well. Those in Palmerston North sing differently from those in the Kapiti area.

‘Funny’ isn’t 'Fun’ you Illiterates
In haunting online Flash game sites, I’ve noticed more and more that there’s a lot of misuse of the term ‘funny’ when attempting to convince skeptical browsers that your game is just the thing to waste your time on.
And I do mean misuse.
It’s the modern, clean version of the f-bomb dictionary error.
