Are these chirping sounds a good thing?

I have been working with this big girl (Marley, an adult female red-tailed hawk) for about a year and a half. I've just recently begun offering food from my hand, and she has taken it every time. She also makes these adorable chirping noises when I offer the food to her. I want to assume that these are good noises, but on the off-chance that it is a sound of stress, I would like to get someone else's input as well! I typically watch her body for any signs of stress, but nothing has stuck out to me other than the occasional back up or tiny show of wings. Is she stressed or happy that there is food and just being chatty?

Hello! I am from New York, just an hour from the Canada-US border and have a question about the child labour laws. I am 16 and graduated in November of 2025. I have my official diploma and will be starting college this August! I would really love to get a job, however when I have asked my mom about it she says that we need to go through my school district to get a bunch of paperwork approving me. The thing is, I earned my diploma through a online private school (Acellus Academy). I believe my school district is Carthage, though. I'm not sure about all of the details as my mom handled all of that.

I am wondering if I do still need paperwork even though I have graduated? The only reason I haven't been able to get a job is because my mom simply doesn't want to do all of the paperwork... Which I understand, but still. I think having a job would be good for me. Is my mom telling the truth and I do need paperwork or is she just keeping me from getting a job?

I am willing to share more information if needed, thanks!

I live in New York, about 30 miles from the Canada border. I found this little guy under some rotting wood by a small creek I live by! Is it a baby? Is it an adult? It's cute :)

I'm 16 and have had content restrictions since I was T E N. I understand why I would have restrictions then because I will admit that I was a dumb asf kid who was curious about the hub and wanted a free bike. I have grown quite a few brain cells since. I'm gong to college this August, COLLEGE, and I still have restrictions. My safari is hidden (so I can't even check my student portal to see any updates, specifically housing updates), I have a single hour of game time, and I can't add any contacts without the screen time password.

On my old phone (iPhone 11) I found that restarting my phone over and over allowed me to bypass time restrictions on my games but since I now have a brand new iPhone that doesn't work. I just want more time on my games. My mom gets really pissy about typing in my password (or even when I talk to her about anything, I'm thoroughly convinced she's tired of having me as a kid despite me doing everything I can to be a responsible adult)

I also fine it funny that she will gladly drop me off at the zoo for 9 hours a day and trust that I'll stay there but refuses to let me do my wordle. (I enjoy the zoo, I'm a docent there and get to do so many cool things and I never want to leave when I am there so it does make sense that she allows it. Off topic, if anyone would like to see some animal photos I have a Google drive FULL of them!)

Anyways.. Is there any way that I can get more time on my games without using a screen time code? I'm willing to share more information if needed :) any and all advice is much appreciated, thanks!

edit: Proof that I go outside for anyone who is concerned! Creek critters (Google drive photo!)
