Why the Blue Bird Tweets

I'm actually pretty familiar with Twitter, having used it a lot in the past when I focused a lot on digital art as a hobby. However, the minute the pandemic started, I've removed myself from majority of social media, finding it mind rotting to say the least. School was already shoving screens down my throat, so I didn't want more from looking at something like Twitter. Social media is a great tool, but majority of the people using it aren't exactly the greatest or brightest of people (myself included!). As a result, good, in depth information gets buried while bite size, too easy to consume information rises to the top. Knowing that, I wasn't surprised to see this exact pattern happen to the dozens of organizations and researchers I followed. Even those with massive followings in the thousands, barely had any engagement! Nowadays with the pandemic, who doesn't want to address the elephant in the room? Sorry, the virus in the room I mean. Between irrelevance to the public and with people just not wanting to consume anything beyond the length of one tweet, it's no surprise to me that animal science isn't the most popular of topics to engage with. The content I retweeted or tweeted about the most goes to a mix of marine life and canine research. Owning dogs myself, I'm never bored to see what exactly is going on when it comes to how man's best friend thinks of man. In addition, I took note of a mix of conservation efforts or even the other side of the spectrum, dealing with invasive species. Would it be a bit cynical (or even comical) of one to say humans are an invasive species in relation animals?
