What Bird Did That: The Art of Ornithological Dejecta is a wing of the Museum of Non-Primate Art. Specifically, it deals with the art and culture of bird poop.
It turns out that the structure and artistry of bird poop art pieces varies wildly from bird species to bird species. It’s a whole art style that we humans have ignored!
This is all very serious and not a joke at all.
Birds are nice. Everybody should learn about birds before they’re all dead from pesticides and habitat destruction. Maybe, I’ll join my local ornithologists.
Jeffrey Ventrella is a programmer. He worked on Darwin Pond and its later iteration GenePool, which are simulation games where little segmented critters compete and evolve in a little pool of water. In High School, I was obsessed with trying to figure out how to build the best swimmer in Darwin pond.
He also has other neat games, apps and information about fractals on his website.
Sea slugs are awesome! Go visit the Sea Slug Forum!
This week’s website is all about critters and leafies.
Discover life is a very useful encyclopedia of the world’s flora and fauna. I love how it has high quality photographs of so many species. I myself have used it to identify creepy crawlies and weird plants that I have never seen before.
