Wow. Hard to even know how to respond to this. I guess transgender for all could be an issue. Maybe penises (penii) could be donated? like a penis bank 2nd hand (?) store. Trade ya 1 slightly used penis for a couple hefty boobs?

Cooper's Hawk pays a visit on a sunny SoCal morning! The little birds (other than hummingbirds) were not appreciative. Hummingbirds don't seem to care. #birds #raptor #coopers_hawk

Low light photos of my hummingbird menagerie - they get very lively at dusk. They're not captive but easily 50-100 hanging around. This is a male Anna's. #birds #hummingbirds
