Gardening tax: collective preening in a nice dry spot!

I've never seen a rooster like that- what is it?
He's a Swedish Flower. As is his mum, who's sitting on the ground next to him. And his dad, who's my avatar. I think they're a wonderful breed: besides being eye candy, they are great free rangers and foragers, and not at all aggressive.
 
The problem is there are now so many things you can't buy locally any moe :(
For example my optometrist has me taking Pro DHA Eye, not sold in any local stores as far as I can tell.
Why do you think this happened?
Probably because Ama-zon took over the profitability of smaller enterprises.
Because people don’t look ahead and don’t see where buying by Ama-zon ends up.
If people keep on buying from the milionaires. They only get richer and if they have a monopoly it’s very hard to stop them from takeing over everything.

Look further then the first page to buy stuff. Go to a town with many shops , buy what you need and and enjoy a day in the city.

ps Edited the name of this monster to avoid an automatic link to the shop and some typo.

Today, my rooster took a long time coaxing his hen to lay an egg in a loose straw bale (the straw in the designated nest box, despite being straw from this selfsame straw bale, is not good enough straw). She remained stubbornly suspicious for a good while, but his persistent powers of persuasion convinced her in the end.

Has there ever been a conclusive opinion as to why they throw bits of nesting material onto their backs when getting ready to lay? Both my rooster and hen did this. My guess was they might they be trying to "cover" the egg, even when the egg is still forthcoming. Pretty amazing creatures they are...but of course we all know that, here. :)

Why do some birds behave strangely? Often to impress or signal that they want to date. But also to give signs they are interested in caring and being a good parent for offspring.
Humans are not so different. 🤣

Do you live in Tatooine Tunisia?
I suppose this Swedisch flower breed is more fit for colder climates.
What breeds do you have over there?
