Take two fresh eggs
Place them carefully on a few (and I mean a few) toothpicks
Balance yourself on said eggs for a few weeks and then keep feeding once hatched in plain sight your only genetic material going forward to the future
How are there do many woodpigeons?

Two children have been killed every day in Gaza since the so-called ceasefire began.
Why has this disappeared from the headlines?
The genocide never ended — and our government is still complicit.
End all arms sales to Israel, now.

🦇many people will do this on Dec 25 🎄 but try doing it every day for 8 or 9 months of the year 👇
Bat fact: Bats eat their body weight in insects every night. That’s the equivalent of a 180-lb guy crushing 180 lbs of chicken wings before sunrise. Respect the efficiency.
