A little friend (a Fantail) mid-cheep as it looks up into its tree. Fantails are usually relatively unafraid of humans so it's not hard to get close to them - it's just hard to get them to stay still long enough to get piccies...

Honestly, I am a low-key fan of House sparrows. They are fascinating little birds.

I’m looking for a good looking, sturdy, and practical solution that can hold carabiners around my neck/chest to hang bird bags on (for bird banding) when transporting them from the nets to banding station. Any creative people who have some tips on what I could get?

Last year I used a simple rope “necklace” with carabiners, which worked well but looked meh.

Am googling “harness”, “chest harness”, “tool harness” etc. thinking I could sew the carabiners on, but I’m getting either kink results or things that are way too big for what I need (like for carpenters) 😕
