@stragu@mastodon.indie.host back before most photography was digital, you had to put blank film rolls into your camera which you had to send in to companies developing the film roll into actual photos. These rolls came in these tiny cute plastic cups which were very useful to store small stuff once the photos were developed. I still have some ancient ones around to store seeds for example 😁 @birdsarah@flipping.rocks

@DrJLecter@beige.party oh I know what those containers are, growing up in an analogue photography buffs home! I didn't realise it was actually what was used, I thought maybe it was something more specific but nicknamed that because of the similarity. @birdsarah@flipping.rocks are they actually just that, film containers? And is that a standard for weighing small birds in the bird-handler community? Is the bird nice and calm once their head is in there? I should try it for myself!
