Fig 01- Jalapeno pickle eggs

When we visit one of farmer markets close by our home recently, we noticed that there are pickle eggs.

We found the eggs include chicken and quail eggs, but no duck eggs as pickle eggs are sold.

The different between pickle and salt eggs are:
1) Salted eggs
- eggs are soaked in the brine or wrapped by salted charcoal paste.
- traditionally, salt eggs are duck eggs for specific texture and taste.

This bird has three well known common names, they are shell parakeet, budgie and common parakeet.

The scientific name of Budgerigar Bird is Melopsittacus undulatus, and native to Australia regions.

The bird is popular as pet in many parts of the world with several reasons include its ability to imitate human speech, small size and low cost.

This budgie is easy to breed, the bird may breed in captivity and then the baby bird in pairs.

Fig 02- Birds love to consume sunflowers seed.

Budgerigars love to consume seeds such as sunflowers, chia seed, safflower, flaxseed and others.

However, when we tried to give seeds, the bird flew to the tree, then flew away.

Fig 03- The Budgie was ready to fly away.

A Bank Robber out of Bullet$ - Sign 53

We talked about "Don’t Give Money to People in the Roadway" at previous sign:
- Don’t Give Money to People in the Roadway - Sign 50 | Tanza Erlambang Update

Fig 01- A man with a sign

Currently, in the corner of street, we saw a man, a beggar or might be homeless with a sign: "Bank Robber out of Bullet$." 

We think this is a quite unusual sign, and we didn't know whether this sign is serious, just for fun, threat or what. However, we observed that very few people gave some money to the man.

Actually, we may find other "surprise or familiar" signs used by beggars such as: "seeking human kindness, justice for vet., please help! God bless!, hungry and homeless need food, money and work," and many other signs.  

Fig 02- A sign, help prevent suicide.

The real beggars "use signs to explain their situation and ask for help," but who knows which is real or fake one.

Have you ever seen odd signs?
