As a professional violinist, it is absolutely vital that Kateryna Timokhina take the time to regularly practice her instrument. As a result, you may find her doing so in some of the most unexpected places, like her backyard. One day, Kateryna was doing just that when, out of nowhere, someone decided to join in and add their own musical touch. And just like that, Kateryna’s violin solo had turned into a duet. This enthusiastic music lover was not a family member or even a nearby neighbor. On the contrary, they weren’t a human being at all! But don’t you worry — this unexpected visitor did not cause Kateryna any alarm. Her brief musical partner was simply a bird who was resting in a nearby tree! Experience their beautiful duet in the video below! View this post on Instagram A post shared by KATERYNA TIMOKHINA I Violinist (@timokhinaviolin) Professional Violin Player’s Beautiful Solo Turns Into a Mesmerizing Duet Thanks to a Nearby Bird “I once heard a mockingbird start singing parts of my flute pieces! Unlocked memories,” someone shares in reply to Kateryna’s video. Other commenters add, “I’ve done the same with a flute! They do sing back,” and “[That bird] continued the melody, not just repeated.” Birds are such fascinating creatures. It’s no wonder that the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service says there are about 96 million bird watchers in the United States alone! There is just so much to love about these winged creatures, including their affinity for music. There are tons of birds who mimic our music, the European Goldfinch included. In fact, that is the very bird some people say turned Kateryna’s solo into the most unexpectedly beautiful duet. Do you want to see more critters admiring music? This man’s tiny kitten adores when he plays the guitar. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!

Kairo is a bully. Willow is a husky. While both breeds have their quirks, it’s time to discuss why the “bully breeds” have such a bad reputation. “Bully” comes from pit bull, but the nickname includes a wide array of terriers, such as the American Staffordshire terrier. In some instances, people might say the title has been well-earned. @kairoandwillow Dinner is at 6pm SHARP, mom #bullybreeds #pitbull #fyp ♬ original sound – Kairo and Willow Did you see that? Kairo is totally and completely being the bully that the breed is reputed to be! Notice that icy stare, boring to the depths of his mom’s soul. Unable to jump down from his perch on the sofa, he leaned back as far as he could, hanging his head. This was clearly an attempt to “bully” his mom into a pity response. He is acting like he is starving to death. She is unfairly withholding food from him. Who is the real bully here? Kairo would have you believe it is his mom. This dog is clearly a bully. Watch as he tries to bully his mom into letting him outside with his stuffy. @kairoandwillow He understands everything, he just doesn’t always listen #dogsoftiktok #dogtok ♬ original sound – Kairo and Willow Hype is hype, and 95 percent of the reputation of all the bully breeds comes from the five percent of bad actors. Consider that even that small percentage is the result of human intervention and training. People have become afraid of a dog breed with no real conception of the breed itself. Ask the owner of a bully breed. They are fierce and loyal to a fault. They are gentle babysitters and make excellent nanny dogs. Petey from the original “Little Rascals” was an American Staffordshire terrier. They will defend their owners or anyone who is in distress. They will also bully their owners with those pitiful eyes, so beware. Please share. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.
