The image depicts a street scene in Manhattan, New York City, captured in 1964 by Italian photographer Mario De Biasi. It showcases the urban landscape of Park Avenue with its tall buildings and a vintage car in motion. The photo is in black and white, typical of the era, and captures the everyday life of the city with a pedestrian visible on the street. The buildings in the background include the MetLife Building, then known as the Pan Am Building, which has been described as a controversial part of the city's architecture

Yes friends, it's happened again, the doomscrolling and re-doom-skeeting. So now is a good time to share with you Mr. Moo's Magic Mittens. 💖

A carrion crow, a large black bird, crouches on the ground with its wings spread, tent-like. Although it's hard to see, there are small ants crawling through its plumage.

SOOTHING BIRD FACT

Many species of birds roll around on anthills and rub ants on their feathers, a behavior known as "anting." Ants' formic acid *might* help control microbes and parasites in plumage... or it might just feel good. 🐦🐜
