I didn't do an #introduction post when I started on here, because I had NO idea what I was doing (apart from starting my exodus from the bird site). Thanks to some generous souls here, I've quickly found my feet, so I'm now making one.
I'm a conservation biologist in New Zealand, specialty birds. Lots of #kokako work in particular. I love #dnd and have dabbled in other #rpg as well. Want to get my attention? Try these tags:

@CheekyKokako Your name reminded me of this wonderful post: https://photog.social/@enzo@photog.social o/109592413828378582 I highly recommend following @enzo
@owlislost @enzo They are absolutely delightful birds. I have worked with them quite a lot since arriving in NZ, between translocations, censuses, & nest finding. I remember seeing a doco on them when I was young in the 1970s & thinking how cool it would be to work with them, and now I do. I am truly blessed!
@CheekyKokako @enzo That’s amazing! I think the link I tried to put in broke but it’s easy to scroll his feed and see the beautiful photo. I don’t think it’s hashtagged with #kokako You are so lucky to be able to experience them in person and the world is so lucky to have you help them!
@owlislost @enzo It is broken, but I figured out that and added the bit onto the end & it worked. Thanks for linking us! And I feel like the luck is all mine!
@CheekyKokako
Welcome aboard.
@EconIntel Thanks- welcome to you as well!
@CheekyKokako @Pineywoozle Pleased to meet you!
@vox_n_thecosmos @Pineywoozle Pleased to meet you as well!
@CheekyKokako Welcome! I just got on here too and look forward to hopefully finding a community on the new platform!
@GM_Tatum I like the feel of Mastodon- it definitely seems like a healthier community! Also seems easier to meet people, since the algorithm here isn't skewed towards narcissistic sociopaths like at the bird site.
@CheekyKokako Aloha! Thank you for reaching out! I'm definitely getting used to it but enjoying the feeling of early platforms; I joined the bird site in 2007 and it had similar vibes (how much has changed!) Hoping for more decentralized conversations, inspiring communities, and lots of TTRPG convos on this platform. Happy New Year!
@CheekyKokako Hail fellow well met!
@jeffowup Howdy- always good to meet another Mastodon noob!
