Episode 3: Time for a poached bird POV

INTRO: I'm Pied, a pied urvogel, or an Archaeopteryx! 

I'm Mr Bloomsip, purple sunbird who owns two blue LEGO bricks! 

I use my alias for the title here! 

We're Pied- and Bloomsip- hosts of 

Survogel asks the Biosphere! 


NOTE: This is merely a fictional narrative of events. Don't take it to be a real thing. I'm not risking my life IRL, because of the fact that I have a future worth turning into a present. 


Alright, are we live yet? 

Yes. 

Good. *inhales* Okay, so... I've got a proposition. I'm going to get into the wildlife trade and survive for as long as I can. If it seems I'm not going to survive, then only will I call the cops. I'm going to pose as a weird drongo thing that can talk, DEFINITELY get captured alive due to the fact that I can talk, do a Shawshank-redemption Papillon by freeing as many birds as I can without getting caught, and see where I end up, which I hope to Frog Titan isn't "stuffed in a museum in Germany". 

I want to visit Berlin, but with my skin still attached to me. 

Now, here's what we'll be doing to ensure that my odds of dying are very, VERY low. Bloomsip, pan. 

Okay! 

Here's my laptop. Right here is a tracking app, which'll show where I am in India, or rather, the rest of the world, if things get there. Also, nobody can contact me, and there's a measure for if I die. I don't want it to come to that. If you noticed, the migratory birds who came over for Christmastime are also being tracked. And there's already the fact that I can talk, but I've been trying to ventriloquy so that nobody notices my teeth, which I'll use as a last resort. 

Speaking of which, I'll pose as some weird drongo variant by pulling some of my tail feathers out. *rhrhgrhhghrg* Darn it, it's painful. Thing is, with these ShInY rAiNbOw CoVeRtS, there'll be a high price on my feathers, so anyone who can afford me, if not my parents, will definitely have bought a computer of some form, and if they haven't, I can probably escape from their cage if I try. 

My journey will start in a rural region near Bhigwan Bird Sanctuary, where there will be poachers. Mr Bloomsip, unfortunately, or fortunately for him, will be Ground Control at home or the recording studio. I'll be sending regular updates this way, so wish me luck! 

All the best!

Hello again! Here are two new pages of my webcomic, ready to read! Mr Bloomsip (preview alert) may or may not feature in this comic in future pages, so stay tuned!  For more frequent updates, here's the Scratch link:  https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/881818483/   This chapter is set in the Los Alamos laboratory in an unspecified year, featuring Richard Feynman and Enrico Fermi. They're poring over a paper by Albert Einstein, and no dinosaurs feature here (yet).  The main arc should be coming soon!  -Pied Survogel  P.S. A regular blog article and a once-a-month posting schedule should happen soon.

Happy World Wildlife Day!

Hello, fellow eukaryotes! It's March 3, which means it's World Wildlife Day! It happens on the same date every year. I decided that I'd give you a little behind-the-scenes update and share a few facts about wildlife.  ⬆️The avian co-hosts and I had a chat today. Here's a picture of it.  So, the next episode is going to be biome-focused. Unfortunately, I deleted the draft for it, accidentally and irreversibly. Thankfully, the guest stars and I are willing to re-record/rewrite it. It's going to be more scientific than previous episodes.  Now, here are the facts.  "Wildlife" doesn't just mean "animals". Bacteria, archaea, fungi, plants, and other eukaryotes also count.  Most animals are arthropods! This is because insects are successful. And beetles alone comprise 40% of insects.  Speaking of insects, flycatchers aren't named that because they catch flies. It's because they fly to catch prey (flycatching).  And that's all...
