I Want To Write My Thoughts Down For This Budgie

If there is one thing I learned as a collector.

Make sure to write down all the data you have of your specimens the moment you receive it. Incase you are looking for to be more scientific.

Don't be like me and many other collectors who don't do that frequently and stand there with a massive collection that needs to their data written down.

I remember stuff from alot of these specimens but the thing is people that have these feathers afterwards let's say another collector or a museum will need to know where the specimen was obtained.

But fair I started when I was 15, I was rather more goofy than writing down stuff for my collection. Now I'm just like oh god this is gonna take months if not years.

Would anyone be interested if I try to do some researching and try to write down about local laws in europe and such?

I know this often brings debate in the community, because this can make people emotional who would really like to own stuff etc.

But trust me there are alot of things that can be owned legally, tho I am also guilty of doing mistakes.

I just, it's been 8 years. And I find this topic really interesting and I feel like there is a great lack of some proper resources put into one post.

And only things I usually see are people mentioned MBTA the moment an American collector shows a bird. Even tho laws are strict everywhere, but I think it has always been mostly towards Americans where people point fingers at. Atleast in the English speaking side of the Internet.

But I could mostly only research about birds because that's my main interest, I don't know much about mammals or fossils.

Insects I don't know much either tho, alot of stuff seems legal (please some insect collector tell me their perspective, I am curious), mostly honey bees are protected etc.

(Maybe one day I'll start an insect collection, there are sooo many gorgeous invertebrates out there, so many shiny and pretty insects!)

I hope it's alright for me to try and maybe write something cool and informative that could be used as a reference when obtaining things. I just find this topic very fascinating/interesting and have been wanting to make something like this for ages. I just have no clue how people would react.

Since in a previous post I mentioned that I don't share my stuff that much outside of my local discord friend group anymore, I have no clue what's going on on other social media sites XD

I have my final exams soon so I won't have much time to write something but perhaps afterwards (probably in two months it depends)

edit: I saw quite a bunch if people already did a bunch of similar things, so ofc I don't want to copy what they did, maybe I can find something that hasn't been talked about thus far. But I'll look around when I have time.

Hhhmm I gotta make a shopping list for my collection when I finally moved out and would like to organise more

I'll edit this shopping list whenever I find something that I need. So much I couldn't aquire yet because of school and lack of finances.

-Woodwool

-Wire in different sizes

-Ethanol

-Taxidermy tools

-Those taxidermy books I always wanted but never got

the biggest thing i’m going to struggle with this challenge is the social media break on weekdays… any tips on that?

Well for starters, I just reblogged this post for you with practical tips.

Remember that social media is a very new thing and literally everyone who came before you (and depending on your age, even a part of your life) had life without social media. People entertained themselves, they learned, they traveled, they dressed themselves and discovered their style, they found cool foods they wanted to make, they kept up with current events, they found out about shows and movies they wanted to see, all without social media. And you can too. You are not required to be glued to your phone all day. You are absolutely allowed to log off. There’s no consequences for doing so. Very very very very very few things we find online are truly worth seeing and I can bet you a million dollars right now that you don’t remember even a fraction of the stuff you looked at today. It’s just not important! You’re missing out on nothing.

This is an opportunity for you to experience a full and satisfying life in the real world. So many books to read, pictures to draw, stories to write, clothes to make, workouts to do, daydreams to have, in-person visits to make, albums to listen to, recipes to try, at-home spa days to have, miniature sets to build, candles to make, DIYs to try, journaling to do, repairs to complete, bedrooms to redecorate, local places to visit, and time with family to share. Can all of this be done while also spending time on social media? Yes of course. But many times, we don’t do it because that time gets stolen from us with nothing to show for it.

Just bc these accounts exist doesn’t mean you have to use them. They’re not going anywhere. A few months off will do you so much good.

I have random question

How many people from the "vulture culture" community or collectors that don't identify themselves as those are working in museums/research or other jobs that have to do with animals?

Something like, zookeeper, vet or like falconer?

Are some of you also artists?

I am mostly just curious how often people who have this hobby end up in these workfields.

I don't know how many end up working in museums, I only know about me, my friend and another person but that person never really collected that much.

How did the hobby affect you in life? Did it help you find a career path? Or is it just a hobby you are passionate about?

Random thought of tonight.

My hobby helped me shape my career path and now I wanna make sure to put my knowledge into good use.

Also there is are baby pigeons outside my window and I can hear them getting fed-
