We went to the #Hobart chicken show! Brace yourself for a thread of unbelievable poultry like this red faced feather duster
This black leghorn has a nifty inbuilt umbrella
Game fowl are total bruisers and this guy is quite intimidating
This Rhode Island Red is a stunner in warm chocolate tones and thicccccck
Rose combs are the perfect blend of regal and ridiculous
Silver sebrights were literally just bred to be gorgeous and have no practical value but that’s like a lot of ppl
Japanese bantams are all about posture and tail for days
Partridge Wyandotte feathers are like miniature artworks
Australorp showing all of his pendulous skin
No idea what this is but look at that round butt
Anconas are unequivocally the best chickens and everyone knows it
Spangled hamburgs are a very fancy looking Chook from top to toe
English game fowl really know how to tail
Plymouth rocks have a lot going on in a tv static kind of way
The drama of this rooster my god but also I can’t remember this breed name sorry
Leghorn combs are chefs kiss
Polish chickens have a lot of practical problems
This looks like some young drunk jock you’d see at a pub
If there’s anything that knows about the beauty of flesh it’s a turkey
PIGEONS I love them so much
Homing pigeons need Zovirax
Pouter pigeons are the only birds I’ve ever been able to hear burp
Fantails are a mess
Look at this haircut
Thanks for coming along with me to the poultry and pigeon show!

🚨New Research!
Do nest boxes breed the target species or do they just help its competitors?
We looked at this question for swift #parrots to see if nest boxes are a good long term conservation strategy.
Read it here👇

A quick thread (1/10)
(2/10) Tree hollows suitable for swift parrots are extremely rare (and are becoming rarer because of logging).

Nest boxes are a popular conservation option to compensate for rare hollows.

But swift parrots compete with 2 birds for hollows and boxes: tree martins and starlings
(3/10) Tree martins are a small native bird that nest in the hollows and boxes used by parrots - since they're subordinate to parrots, we don't mind if they use boxes, but their nests fill up the boxes, creating cleaning work for managers

Thread 1/n: Even though the world is topsy-turvy, the annual rare breed chicken show happened in #Hobart today - I am your willing correspondent
2/n - Meet the rose comb- he’s got a mess going on upstairs and he’s not sorry about it
3/n - the silver spangled Hamburg is a stunner with a blue beak and legs to boot - shame about their warty comb but I guess u can’t have it all
