Le Peertube de Tonton

The Lori landing has an exceptional design and obviously needs to be visited. It is a building that serves as a walk-through exhibit with only a single purpose, to get people into physical contact with the Australian bird species that are kept in this rather large building - a large colony of rainbow lorikeet (Trichoglossus moluccanus) and scaly-breasted lorikeet (Trichoglossus chlorolepidotus). According the Avifauna website these lorikeets share their house with blue-faced honeyeater (Entomyzon cyanotis) and masked lapwing (Vanellus miles), who apparently fraternize less with the public. The birds may fly freely in the Australian habitat with palm trees, artificial red rock face and termite mounds. Visitors can buy little cups of nectar to feed and attract the colourful and loud birds. How loud they are you can here when playing the video.

Neither the lorikeets, honeyeater and lapwing are endangered species - all are Least Concern according the IUCN Red List classification. This means that with the Lori Landing a large area is being dedicated for entertainment purpose only, with little or no conservation value. Of course it isn't easy to provide information about the necessity of nature conservation when the conservation status of the animals on display is Least Concern. Nevertheless, when making such a great effort to build a beautiful walk-through aviary it is a loss not to use the close encounter experience as a moment to tell an important story about Australian habitat destruction for instance.

Personally, I am not in favour of visitors having physical contact with zoo animals. But research has shown that such contact - the physical touch - can create a better memory and experience. So, it would be a great enhancement if this would contribute to people's awareness about the current threats to biodiversity and ecosystems.

Capture of the April 28 stream. This is the 9th and last stream in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky series.

The game is modded, though the only installed mod is the Sky Reclamation Project by Decane, which claims to fix lots of issues that were present in the base game while keeping everything as Vanilla as possible. Additionally, the following optional components of the SRP were enabled:

Kittens dive and jump through a small ball pit full of colorful toys.

Kittens get creative with washable paint, leaving colorful paw prints behind.

Kittens climb and tumble around a massive pile of soft pillows.

A whimsical gathering where kittens explore a party setup.

Kittens learn to conquer stairs with determined little paws.

latest track i made. started out as some random arpeggios and derived into this.
