Female birds need to eat calcium to have enough of the mineral to lay their eggs. But it can be hard to find enough of it to eat in nature.

“It is not about fixing or mending, but about celebrating the vulnerability of the object and ultimately myself.” - Yee Sookyung Shattered porcelain is impossible to repair. As impossible as fully, and accurately, reconstructing the past. But who needs that pressure? What if, instead of tossing those shards in the dustbin of history, we acknowledged that the thing will never be what it once was? Maybe then we appreciate the beauty, and the human resilience, of what new things it could be, in the now.

The Arctic is still wintry when male Snow Buntings return to nesting areas in April. There's a big benefit to arriving early enough to claim a prime nest cavity in a rock face or under boulders, where it will be safer from predators. Nesting in chilly rock cavities means extra care must be taken to keep eggs and nestlings warm. That's why, unlike many other bird species, female Snow Buntings never come off the nest. The males bring them food, giving them more continuous time on the eggs.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

Today's guests, David Soria Parra and Justin Spahr-Summers, are the creators of Anthropic's Model Context Protocol (MCP). When we first wrote Why MCP Won, we had no idea how quickly it was about to win. In the past 4 weeks, OpenAI and now Google have now announced the MCP support, effectively confirming our prediction that MCP was the presumptive winner of the agent standard wars. MCP has now overtaken OpenAPI, the incumbent option and most direct alternative, in GitHub stars (3 months ahead of conservative trendline): For protocol and history nerds, we also asked David and Justin to tell the origin story of MCP, which we leave to the reader to enjoy (you can also skim the transcripts, or, the changelogs of a certain favored IDE). It's incredible the impact that individual engineers solving their own problems can have on an entire industry.

Book review: Nesting by Roisin O'Donnell  

On Easter Monday (21st April 2025), we will bring you a special two-hour Nesting Season special. Derek Mooney and his panel of ornithological experts will broadcast live on RTÉ Radio One between 09:00 and 11:00 and tell you all about what the birds are up to. Make sure to tune in!

Nesting by Roisin O'Donnell On a bright spring afternoon in Dublin, Ciara Fay makes a split-second decision that will change her life. Grabbing an armful of clothes from the washing line, Ciara straps her two young daughters into her car and drives away. Head spinning, all she knows for certain is that home is no longer safe. It was meant to be an escape. But with dwindling savings, no job, and her family across the sea, Ciara finds herself adrift, facing a broken housing system and the voice of her own demons. As summer passes and winter closes in, she must navigate raising her children in a hotel room, searching for a new home and dealing with her husband Ryan's relentless campaign to get her to come back. Because leaving is one thing, but staying away is another. One Hundred Years of Betty by Debra Oswald Meet Betty: storyteller, feminist, eternally curious and phenomenally old. On the eve of her hundredth birthday party, Betty tells us her story. Born into poverty in pre-war London, and growing up fast during the Blitz, Betty grabs the chance at a bigger life by migrating to Australia. On board the SS Asturias she meets three people who will influence the course of her life—Pearl, a good-hearted party girl; Athena, a Greek woman on her way to marry a man she has never met; and Leo, a German Jew who lost his family in the war. In Sydney, Betty is making ends meet as a waitress at the famous Trocadero dance hall when she stumbles into a rushed courtship with Donald, a wealthy businessman, and dedicates herself to being the ideal 1950s suburban housewife. But life has other plans for Betty, and soon she must find a way to do more than survive. Set against a century of world events and social upheavals, Betty takes us to the frontlines of the anti-war protests and the women's liberation movement of the 1970s, to the AIDS crisis during the 1980s, to Mexico and eventually becomes a TV screenwriter. Even in her nineties, Betty is still passionately engaged with the world, still surprising us. From the creator of Offspring and bestselling author of The Family Doctor, One Hundred Years of Betty is the saga of a strong, intelligent woman born too early in time to make the most of her talents without having to fight for everything. It's about the defining force of motherhood, the family we make, and how the determination to live to the hilt, with all the joy and sorrow that entails, can lead to a life beyond one's wildest imaginings.

Pippa Hudson is in conversation with Roisín O'Donnell and she is an Irish author who lives in Dublin. Previously known for her acclaimed short stories, she published her debut novel in January of this year, and it is this book called Nesting. Pippa dives into this good read with Roisin.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Debut novelists, Roisin O'Donnell and Chris McQueer, go head to head in a war of the words. They discuss their latest books ("Nesting" and "Hermit"), their writing inspirations, the power of short stories and the rise of toxic masculinity. Whilst Andrew Tate doesn't in any way dominate this conversation (nor should he dominate any conversation), the authors discuss how young boys and men are being radicalised through dangerous people on social media and what, if anything, can be done about it. Both books also look at the theme of coercive control, which again is something else that is on the rise. They also recommend us some brilliant books - and have a bit of a love-off about Wendy Erskine. THE BOOK OFF 'Threats' by Amelia GrayVS'Demon Copperhead' by Barbara Kingsolver Hosted on Acast.

Hanna Bankier shares her innovative approach to redefining parenthood beyond children's upbringing, emphasizing the importance of evolving parenting strategies for emerging adults. Explore the three critical phases—grief, relief, and joy—that mothers often experience and learn how to transition smoothly while fostering personal growth and renewed sense of self. With insightful discussions on avoiding common parental pitfalls, the conversation uncovers the power of community and preparation in embracing change wholeheartedly. This episode is packed with practical advice for mothers facing this pivotal transition and offers a refreshing perspective on creating meaningful connections and friendships post-parenthood. Key Takeaways: Embrace the concept of a "birdylauncher" to positively shift the perception of an empty nest, focusing on personal growth and renewed freedom. Understand the three phases of the birdylauncher journey: grief, relief, and joy, and how navigating these emotions is vital for a successful transition. Avoid common parenting mistakes during this phase by evolving your relationship with your children into a mentorship and adjusting family dynamics. Importance of community support: Engage with other mothers for shared experiences and guidance during this transitional stage. Rediscover your identity and interests post-parenthood to ensure a fulfilling and enriching life for the decades beyond active parenting. Notable Quotes: “How is the nest empty if I, the mama, am still in it?” “Parenting is about 80% managing your own anxiety.” “We have to manage all of those emotions and make space for them again without getting stuck.” “You get to co-create your new version of your relationship.” “Ultimately, you have to show your kid that you are living your best life, much like you want for them.”

Minister for Nature, Heritage and Biodiversity, Christopher O’Sullivan of Fianna Fáil, is calling on the public to protect our birds as nesting season approaches Nesting Season (March 1st to August 31st) is a critical time for birds and wildlife as they prepare to breed. Hedgerows provide both food and shelter for our birds and wildlife. Legislation prohibits damage to hedgerows from the beginning of March until the end of August, with limited exemption.

A young, pregnant mother tries to leave an abusive husband. Obstacles are everywhere for her and her children. Yvette Benavides reviews Nesting—a tense and emotional novel by Roisín O'Donnell.

In this episode, I sat down with my friend and luxury real estate expert Maile Mock to dive deep into the emotional journey of empty nesting - but with a powerful reframe. Instead of viewing it as an "empty nest," we explored the concept of becoming "free birds" and embracing this next chapter of life with excitement and possibility. Maile and I got real about why having our kids leave feels like losing a limb (because it kind of is!) and how the transition evolves from those raw early days of missing them desperately to finding a new rhythm and reconnecting with ourselves. The beauty of my conversation with Maile is that we're both in it right now!We also tackled the practical side of empty nesting, particularly around housing decisions and partnerships. Through Maile's expertise in real estate, we discussed how couples can navigate different visions for their next chapter - whether that's downsizing, moving to the city, or finding that perfect lock-and-leave property that supports a more adventurous lifestyle. I loved exploring how we Gen Xers are rewriting the rules of midlife, with most of us viewing this as a time to start new ventures rather than winding down into traditional retirement. The key takeaway? It's time to give ourselves permission to dream big and explore possibilities we might have put on hold while raising our families. As Maile perfectly summed up - 50 is the new 30, and we have so much life ahead of us to create, grow, and embrace our free bird status.Key Takeaways:1. Empty Nesting is Hard - And That's OK2.

Summary Ground nesting bees represent a significant portion of our native bee population, yet they often go unnoticed due to their solitary nature and unique nesting habits. In this episode, we dive into the fascinating world of ground nesting bees and how we can get involved in their study and conservation. Today's guest Dr. Jordan Kueneman is a research associate in the Danforth lab of Entomology at Cornell University. He is also the creator of the Ground Nesting Bee project on iNaturalist where he is collecting observations of ground-nesting bee aggregations. 3 things you'll learn from this episode: An overview of ground nesting bee biology, their behaviors, and their importance in the environment and potentially to some of our agricultural crops. An introduction into how much we still don't know about ground nesting bees, including the answers to what would seem like fairly basic questions. How individuals like you and I can help researchers learn more about ground nesting bees and where they can be found.

Owners of cats or dogs will know that they shed lots of fur. While many deliberately leave this fur in gardens for birds, it may be doing harm. A team of researchers from the University of Sussex has discovered that chemicals used for the treatment of pet fleas and ticks can kill the chicks of songbirds.

Chickens for Beginners | Episode 353 Raising chickens is a great step toward self-sufficiency, providing fresh eggs, meat, pest control, and natural fertilizer for your garden. Whether you're in a rural area or even a more urban setting, chickens can be a great addition to your homestead. Here's what you need to know to get started.   Why Raise Chickens? Chickens offer numerous benefits beyond just egg production. They help with composting kitchen scraps, reduce insects in your yard, and provide valuable manure for your garden. Plus, raising chickens can be a rewarding experience, especially if you have children who can learn responsibility by caring for them. Choosing the Right Breed Not all chickens are the same! Some breeds are better suited for egg-laying, while others are raised for meat. For beginners, hardy, low-maintenance breeds are ideal. Here are a few top choices: Rhode Island Reds – Great layers, hardy in different climates Buff Orpingtons – Friendly, good for both eggs and meat Barred Rocks – Low maintenance, excellent layers Leghorns – High egg production, but more active and independent Setting Up a Coop Your chickens need a safe, comfortable place to live. A well-designed coop should include: Proper space – At least 2-3 square feet per bird inside the coop and 8-10 square feet in the run. Roosting bars – Chickens like to perch off the ground while sleeping. Nesting boxes – One box for every 3-4 hens is sufficient. Ventilation – Good airflow prevents moisture buildup and respiratory issues. Predator protection – Use hardware cloth (not chicken wire) to keep out raccoons, foxes, and hawks. Feeding & Nutrition Chickens require a balanced diet for optimal health and egg production. Essentials include: Layer feed – Provides the necessary protein and nutrients. Grit – Helps chickens digest food properly. Calcium supplements – Crushed oyster shells or eggshells keep eggshells strong. Treats – Kitchen scraps and scratch grains can be fed in moderation. Daily & Weekly Care Chickens are relatively low maintenance, but daily and weekly care is necessary: Daily: Fresh food and water, egg collection, general health check. Weekly: Coop cleaning, refilling grit and calcium sources, deep litter turning. Common Health Issues Like any livestock, chickens can develop health problems. Common issues include: Parasites – Mites and lice can be prevented with diatomaceous earth or poultry dust. Respiratory infections – Good ventilation helps prevent these. Egg-binding – Calcium supplements and proper nutrition help prevent laying issues. Egg Laying & Collection Most hens start laying around 5-6 months old and produce eggs regularly, depending on breed and season. Expect fewer eggs in winter unless supplemental light is used. Collect eggs daily to keep them clean and fresh. Seasonal Considerations Summer: Provide shade, cool water, and dust baths to prevent overheating. Winter: Insulate the coop, ensure proper ventilation, and keep water from freezing. Legal & Neighborhood Considerations Before getting chickens, check your local zoning laws. Some areas limit the number of birds or prohibit roosters due to noise concerns. Keeping good relations with neighbors by maintaining a clean coop and managing noise levels is essential. Expanding Your Flock Once you have experience, you may want to add more chickens. Introduce new birds gradually, as chickens establish a pecking order that can cause initial aggression. Final Thoughts Raising chickens is a rewarding experience that provides food security and self-sufficiency. With the right setup and care, you'll enjoy fresh eggs, pest control, and even a little entertainment from your flock. Whether you're just getting started or thinking about expanding, chickens are a valuable addition to any homestead!
