Every damn time I go into that petshop, I fall in love with another bird. Are all cockatoos so cuddly, or does this place just raise them right?
Today I was COVERED IN BEEEEEEES
Ahehe, in the third photo you can see I was trying to get them to crawl on my hands, but they weren’t having it. Too busy.

The Gates of Hell (French: ”La Porte de l’Enfer”) is a monumental sculptural group work by French artist Auguste Rodin that depicts a scene from “The Inferno”, the first section of Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy. It stands at 6 m high, 4 m wide and 1 m deep (19.69’H × 13.12’W × 3.29’D) and contains 180 figures. The figures range from 15 cm high up to more than one metre. Several of the figures were also cast independently by Rodin.
The sculptural was commissioned by the Directorate of Fine Arts in 1880 and was meant to be delivered in 1885. Rodin would continue to work on and off on this project for 37 years, until his death in 1917.
