Sometimes it's worth it to force yourself outside even when you're running on under three hours sleep for multiple days in a row and you're angry and pessimistic about everything, because you'll come across things like a sleeping bee on top of a flower and things won't seem so bad after #bugSky

Today's Dopple. This guy is my second favourite-he happily eats from the seed glass, and has such an attitude if I put seed out but don't move my hand away fast enough. He'll wing slap me and huff and hoo and peck and I love him for it #pigeonSky 🪶
