I want to be your object, of your affection

Give me all your time, touch, money, and attention

Pick me up after school, you can be my baby

Maybe we could go somewhere, get a little crazy

He's rich and I'm wishin', um, he could be my Mister Yum

Delicious to the maximum, chew him up like bubble gum

Mama's pretty party favor, he says I'm his favorite flavor

Uh, uh, catch me ridin' like a bitch

Got the six forty-five, catch me ridin' with my bitch

Uh, long hair, Lana, that's my bitch

Uh, You can tell by the swagger and the lips, uh

Uh, uh, catch me ridin' like a bitch

Got the six forty-five, catch me ridin' with my bitch

Uh, long hair, Lana, that's my bitch

Uh, You can tell by the swagger and the lips, uh

You say that I am flawless, true perfection

So give me all your drugs, props, money, and connections

Pick me up after school, actin' kinda shady

You're the coolest kid in town, I'm your little lady

Your sick and I'm kissin' him, magical musician, I'm

Drivin' at the cinema, lovin' him and lickin' him

He's my lovely life-saver

Doesn't mind my bad behavior

Uh, uh, catch me ridin' like a bitch

Got the six forty-five, catch me ridin' with my bitch

Uh, long hair, Lana, that's my bitch

Swervin', swervin', gettin' all them dimes

Tell her I be doin', I be swaggin' to my prime

This ain't all the time, it happens all the time

That's a big contradiction, get your money on your mind

What, what, tell her I be on a chase

Chasin' for that paper and you see me on that race

What, what, tell her I be goin' first

I be gon' first and they put me in a hearse, oh

One big room, full of bad bitches, no

One big room and it's full of mad bitches

Lana, Lana, tell them what it is

Tell 'em that you doin' it, you mean to do it big

I said, one big room, full of bad bitches, no it's

One big room and it's full of mad bitches, I said

Lana, Lana, tell them what it is

Tell 'em when you do it that you only do it big

Uh, uh, catch me ridin' like a bitch

I' ll stand by you

Oh, why you look so sad, the tears are in your eyes,

Come on and come to me now, and don't be ashamed to cry,

Let me see you through, 'cause I've seen the dark side too.

When the night falls on you, you don't know what to do,

Nothing you confess could make me love you less,

I'll stand by you,

I'll stand by you, won't let nobody hurt you,

I'll stand by you

So if you're mad, get mad, don't hold it all inside,

Come on and talk to me now.

Hey there, what you got to hide?

I get angry too, well, I'm alive like you.

When you're standing at the cross roads,

And don't know which path to choose,

Let me come along, 'cause even if you're wrong

I'll stand by you,

I'll stand by you, won't let nobody hurt you,

I'll stand by you.

Baby, even…

Waiting for affection

Cat hugs her kittens and licks them while they try to escape.

It's hard not to love a kitten, even if you're a cat. In general, most adult cats will tolerate, if not show affection for, any kitten -- especially their own.

Barred Owls have personality. The are diurnal, which means we have some light to observe and photograph them. They have great calls. I particularly agree when the pair join in for a lively conversation. I was fortunate to catch this moment when they joined up on the branch and showed some affection for each other.

Principalement piscivore, le martin-pêcheur affectionne toutes sortes de poissons à condition qu'ils soient de petite taille (de 3 à 7 cm grand maximum) comme les tanches, les carpes, les gardons, les vairons ou leurs alevins. L'oiseau tire son nom de sa technique de chasse consistant à guetter ses cibles et de piquer sur elles. Concrètement, il repère ses proies à partir d'un juchoir ou en vol stationnaire puis il plonge rapidement et rabat les ailes vers l'arrière au moment de l'impact avec la surface. Pouvant aller jusqu'à un mètre sous l'eau, il saisit le poisson avec son bec et d'un coup d'ailes puissant, refait surface instantanément pour rejoindre son promontoire. Si la proie est petite, il l'ingurgite directement et si elle est trop grande, il l'assomme contre son perchoir avant de l'avaler. L'oiseau régurgite régulièrement les parties dures (arêtes, écailles, os) des animaux consommés sous forme de pelotes. La période de reproduction varie en fonction de sa distribution. En Europe, elle se tient au printemps et en été (de mars à juillet). La parade nuptiale est marquée par de bruyantes poursuites aériennes et des offrandes : la femelle fait connaître son choix de partenaire en acceptant le poisson qui lui est offert. Dès cet instant, le mâle continue de nourrir sa dulcinée afin qu'elle se consacre entièrement à la reproduction. Pour la nidification, le martin-pêcheur est cavernicole : il niche dans une loge laissée vacante et située sur la rive d'un cours d'eau. Si aucun terrier préexistant n'est disponible, le couple creuse à grands coups de bec des sortes de galeries pouvant atteindre un mètre de long et au bout desquelles est placé le nid. Le refuge est positionné assez haut dans la berge pour échapper aux inondations. Le couple d'oiseaux élève généralement 2 nichées par an, voire 3 ou 4, si les conditions sont favorables ou si une nichée a été détruite. La femelle pond entre 5 et 8 œufs qu'elle couve en alternance avec le mâle pendant environ 3 semaines. À leur éclosion, les petits sont nourris par les deux adultes avec de tout petits poissons. Mangeant environ leur poids en nourriture chaque jour, ils grandissent vite et peuvent quitter le nid à partir de 4 semaines. Les jeunes restent groupés à proximité du nid et effectuent leurs premiers plongeons quelques jours après leur sortie. À ce moment, la femelle a souvent engagé une seconde fécondation et laisse ainsi le mâle s'occuper des juvéniles. L'épervier et le faucon hobereau comptent parmi les prédateurs du martin-pêcheur adulte tandis que les jeunes encore dans le nid sont la proie des rats, des renards et des hermines. Si la dégradation de son habitat et la pollution des eaux représentent des menaces pour l'oiseau, celui-ci n'est pas considéré comme une espèce en danger en Europe. L'espérance de vie du martin-pêcheur est de 10 à 15 ans à l'état sauvage.

You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.

A pair of Silvereyes, winter back yard, New Zealand. Silvereyes (also known as Wax-eye and locally as Tauhou) when paired show great affection for each other, stroking and preening one another's feathers and cuddling together. Silvereyes are slightly smaller than a sparrow.

Spoonbills are a genus, Platalea, of large, long-legged wading birds. The spoonbills have a global distribution, being found on every continent except Antarctica. The genus name Platalea derives from Latin and means broad, referring to the distinctive shape of the bill. Six species are recognised, which although usually placed in a single genus have sometimes been split into three genera. All spoonbills have large, flat, spatulate bills and feed by wading through shallow water, sweeping the partly opened bill from side to side. The moment any small aquatic creature touches the inside of the bill—an insect, crustacean, or tiny fish—it is snapped shut. Spoonbills generally prefer fresh water to salt but are found in both environments. They need to feed many hours each day. The spoonbills are most distinct from the ibises in the shape of their bill, which is long and flat and wider at the end. The nostrils are located near the base of the bill so that the bird can breathe while the bill is submerged in water. The eyes are positioned to provide spoonbills with binocular vision, although when foraging tactile senses are important too. Like the ibises the spoonbills have bare patches of skin around the bills and eyes. The six species of spoonbill are distributed over much of the world.

Ibises are a group of long-legged wading birds in the family Threskiornithidae, that inhabit wetlands, forests and plains. Ibises usually feed as a group, probing mud for food items, usually crustaceans. It is widespread across much of Australia. It has a predominantly white plumage with a bare, black head, long down curved bill and black legs. They are monogamous and highly territorial while nesting and feeding. Most nest in trees, often with spoonbills or herons. Due to its increasing presence in the urban environment and its habit of rummaging in garbage, the species has acquired a variety of colloquial names such as tip turkey; and bin chicken, and in recent years has become an icon of popular culture, being regarded with passion, wit, and, in equal measure, affection and disgust. 49040

Nach den ganzen Vogelbildern möchte ich heute mal wieder ein Luchsbild zeigen.

Dieses Verhalten habe ich so noch nicht beobachten können.. diese beiden haben immer wieder ihre Köpfe aneinander gekuschelt..
