I'm so heartbroken💔, I'm so angry. My cousin died today in a hospital queue in excruciating pain waiting to be served. It isn't only how he died, but how he lived that breaks my heart to think of & is hard to accept. Even as I spoke to him on the phone in that queue, I didn't... Think it was his time to go. Coz how is it that life could be so tragic for him & end just right there! How can life enslave him to a chronic illness for all his adult life in a country like ours #Zimbabwe & just give nothing back to his last breath. I have to tell his story...

¹Hello! Your friendly birder here introducing you to another cool grp of birds
MOUSEBIRDS!
¹Red-faced Mousebird
²Speckled Mousebird
This is 2 of the 3 in southern Africa
Like their name, they have cool similarities with mice. They hang out in grps clamoring on trees like mice.. ²they are grey with long tails, a crest and short legs adapted for tree crawling. If you watch them on trees, get do look like mice🐀
There are 6 spp of Mousebird & all are confined to Africa. They are evolutionary distinct & special (someone can add here)
