GOOD MORNING ☀️ #NOSTR
Bird of the day: Rainbow lorikeet
They are hollow-nesters but are not overly fussy. Rainbow Lorikeets have been seen nesting in palms, in rock crevices and even digging a hole at the base of a tree! Rainbow Lorikeets are 'communal roosters'. This means that on dusk, huge numbers of them congregate together in a few trees.

Daily Roman History:
After being nursed by a she-wolf on the banks of the Tiber when they were left for dead the legendary founder brothers of Rome, Romulus and Remus, grew up and set out to find a location for their new city. Romulus selected the Palatine hill, while Remus the Aventine Hill, both waiting for an omen for validation. Eventually Remus sighted six vultures on the Aventine, while shortly after that Romulus saw twelve over the Palatine. This lead to a disagreement over whether it was the time of arrival, or the total birds which held more importance. While Romulus began to make a furrow in the ground outlining where the walls of his city will be, Remus leapt over it declaring how inadequate these "walls" were. In a fit of anger Romulus killed his brother, ensuring his site, and name, was used in the new city.

Daily Roman History:
An early shock to the Roman system occured after the Battle of Allia in 387BC. Against a Gallic army lead by Brennus the Romans, surprisingly, were utterly routed. As shocked as the Romans were to this outcome the Gauls held back for a time before it was clear Roman had no surprises in store. Arriving at Rome the Gauls encamped overnight, again afraid of a trap, however this proved unnecessary as the Roman army remnants had fled to the recently conquered city of Veii, rather then the Capital leaving the city defenseless. Thus, the sack of Rome began. For days street fighting, looting and fires raged. Eventually the citizens sheltering in the citadel on the Capitalline Hill offered a ransom to end the seige. Agreeing to this request Brennus put the amount at 1000lbs of gold, with the Gauls providing the scale for measuments. When the Romans brought up the fact the scales appeared to be rigged in the Gallic favor Brennus threw his sword on the counterbalance and said "Vae victis" or "Woe to the vanquished", increasing the total owed. This event shook Rome to its core, and the boogeyman of Gaul would remain until Caesars conquest hundreds of years later.

The Canadian response to fighting inflation and the housing crisis is to increase capital gains tax to 67% 😂
GOOD MORNING ☀️ #NOSTR
Bird of the day: Sulfur Crested Cockatoo
This bird is so fucking rock n roll. Sulphur-crested Cockatoos have a distinctive yellow crest on the back of their head which sticks up when alarmed. They also have a dark black beak. Male and female birds are similar in appearance. The Sulphur-crested Cockatoo's diet includes grass seeds, plants, nuts and insects.

Daily Roman History:
On the shortlist for greatest Emperor, certainly the one who did the most with his time, is Lucius Domitas Aurelianus. Coming to the throne in 270CE after the sudden death of his predecessor Claudius Gothicus to the Plague of Cyprian (technically he took power from Claudius' brother who only rules for a few months). Being a military man Aurelian wasted no time continuing the campaigns on the previous years, heading to Italy to fight and defeat armies of the Vandels, Juthngi, and Sarmatians, expelling them from Roman territory. He also used this time to secure the safety of the capital city, he ordered the building of the Aurelian walls, often working existing structure into it to speed up. Perhaps his greatest feat was rejoining the Empire which had split into the Gallic Empire in the west, and Palmyrene Empire to the east. Soundly defeating these two rival Empires and making the Empire whole again for the first in over a decade, he was granted the auspicious title Restitutor Orbis ("Restorer of the World"). All this was done in just 5 short years. Unfortunately he had acquired a reputation as a ruthless disciplinarian, and fearing retribution of an invented failure he was assassinated by some of his officers in 275CE, on the eve of invading the nearby Sassanid Empire.
