Thanks for the website Terry, but I have a phobia (fear) of birds

Also I am really bad at puzzles. Good luck!

Terry Harri

All this talk of puzzles and passwords and secrets in between what otherwise just seems like black bars of posts and some would argue too few compliments for the Nuthatch, I have grown suspicious.

My incisive insight was confirmed soon after my suspicions grew when a poster in confidence and in private has informed me that some of you (likely the one posting positively about chickadees) have been "hacking" my Internet directories.

Let me here and now state that there is nothing else to my website besides a humble love for Nuthatches and anything you have stumbled on beyond that is a glitch, which is a computer term for error.

Following this, I will be editing my second post in this Internet thread to highlight specific pages I have specifically been told are not to be visited. They are glitched and could hurt you. I keep them here as a reminder that they should not be visited.

Beyond that, I will remind you that "hacking" is illegal pursuant to the laws of the World Wide Web. Please simply leave my Nuthatch site be and instead engage with it entirely by visiting multiple times on all of your electronic devices.

On a positive note, the numbers behind the scenes have grown tremendously overnight. I knew B.Y.O.B. would be a reliable community for "engagement".



Lastly, remember to visit the Nuthatch today if you haven't already!

Think I saw a nuthatch outside today! :peanut: :blessed:

I'm terrible at puzzles :( but this one is making me have some serious thirst (dot png) so I'm gonna have 5 ounces of water, and every 5th sip will spell out: ZTUTXJYRMSMYFDM ... which does not seem to abate my thirst one bit! but that's what i've got so far

terry, what do you think about house sparrows? where do they fall on the nuthatch vs chickadee conflict? i'd love two hear your complete thoughts on this!

ooh, i got this one pretty quick - once i went through my starting rotation of puzzle-solving attempts it took just over a score of tries to get it

Thank you I did them myself. I assume you are talking about my naturalistic sketchings. All of the other graphics were done by an...acquaintance.

You seem to have bolded some of your words by accident in your post. Sparrows are horrible, particularly in light of Nuthatches. I'd say perhaps Sparrows and Killdeer are equally horrible.

Where I live (Japan) having sparrows build a nest on the outside of your house is considered good luck.

My opinion is I'm really freaked out by pretty much all birds, with the exception of ducks.

I don't think they have nut hatches here

sorry to hear that friend, though ducks are p cool i don't mind most birds - aussie magpies can be dangerous (naturally) but i kinda like having them around

I love most birds! but i can't stand the permanent enemy of the nuthatch, the chickadee (I learned this from Terry's website--another success my friend :) )

biosterous has a good point on their puzzle solving rotation, though I'm not sure I understand why their 21st try was the meaningful one. it didn't take me nearly that many, though to be fair...

...I think I went an entirely different direction with it

I put my thumb up my bum and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth.


God, I wish I wasn't so bad at puzzles. Other than sudoku, I loving crush sudoku. Anyhow chickadees go to Mars and drive cool cars, nuthatches go to Jupiter to get more stupider.

Same. I'm awful at puzzle stuff. Logic puzzles, okay. But this more free form sorta thing less so

Terry Harri

I, too, hate puzzles. They are like the chickadees of the thought world.

In fact, I hate puzzles so much that when I happen to stumble upon one, I don't even bother working with my friends to solve it, I just leave it alone. I erase the experience from my head and think about buying a bot account that will artificially bolster my favourite Internet website's traffic.

hello friend


i thought i was pretty good at puzzles birdwatching but this ones giving me pause, to the point where i made my first pot of coffee in months to see if that helps (it hasn't)

wow, that is quite the bird you've posted for us to watch!

you may want to try different ways of playing with the letters. i've got the letters visible here, organized by the lines they're in, in case you don't want to type them all up yourself: https://pastebin.com/nrpHBMWK. nothing pre-solved, just all typed up to save a little work

i can imagine you're pretty thirsty in the morning if you only had coffee! but I'd put your thirst aside for now, it's just going to distract you from more important things

Nice 'hatch.

There are online tools that can automatically turn the letters into something readable, if you figure out the right idea of how they need to be changed

Terry Harri

Ah, that's nicer, a lot of positive chatter about Nuthatches, just as I had envisioned.

Admittedly, I'm still rather on edge that a poster or two is attempting to backtrace my cyberspace, but perhaps I am being overly suspicious of such a welcoming community.

Wait no, I definitely felt something.


alnilam

Terry my bud which is your favorite kind of nuthatch? Your wonderful web site is surprisingly mum on the subject.



I got #2! The online tool hint was helpful as was the reference to roman rulers, which was not a thing i had heard of before. Ty for the hints all.

e: oh my The Hideout has a new one

helpful reminder to people like me: sometimes your browser will display cached content instead of updated content! in firefox reloading with ctrl+shift+r will ignore the cache and force a fresh load. this is useful for making sure you have the latest nuthatch information and in my case seeing the link to puzzle #3 because it wasn't there because i kept seeing the cached page lol

i don't think i'm cut out to be a bird watcher lol haven't seen a single nut hatch!

I'm finding these impossible, lol the hints are just as confusing to me. think i'm just not a puzzle person or possibly too high to figure it out

I'm a complete begginer at nuthatches. Are they called that because they eat nuts? Do they have specially shaped beaks for breaking open nuts? I'm clueless! Three clear
