That R2-D2 was so rad. I get so many starling at my birdfeeder but they don’t ever say “who’s my sweet chatty angel”

Maybe you should talk to them 😅

That was amazing! I didn't realize birds other than parrots could repeat human phrases like that! And it sounds so good too! Mind blown

They're so cool, and their great repertoire goes far beyond human languages 🐥

Alright, I'm still new to all this federated stuff, but I heard there was a way that users could post across platforms including places like Mastodon.

So if I wanted to "like" or comment on that awesome video with this account, how would I do that?

Apparently Kbin allows it, but I don't know the details.

It works, but I personally never cross-posted from Mastodon so far. Maybe you ask the Beehaw support at https://beehaw.org/c/support
