I see Jim Henson is now giving God advice on animals.

Glad to see he's still working, after his death.

Judah will start doing that bathing flailing when it's raining.

He is not outside in the rain.

Ten years on, and it seems to have yet to dawn on him that he never actually gets wet during these baths.

Our birds have always been irregular about this but sometimes the first indication of rain was one of them splaying their body feathers and pointing the wrong end up while worming around for no reason, still being inside of the house. If it wasn't too cold we would usually plop them out on the deck and set the hairdryer up on top of the cage so that they could get into drying positions afterward.

Hawks/birds of prey are awesome :black101: My house is surrounded by huge pastures and after they cut the grass there are mice and whatever everywhere, so for days after there are hawks just circling around and gorging. You can get pretty close and they'll still come down, it's neat but kind of :stare: because drat they're really pretty big when you get up close.

I'm guessing those are... I don't know, what the gently caress do you call stuffed animals that are really artistic and meant for show.

My fav hawk story is a time a saw one taking a nap on a tree branch. A crow flew down and bit him on the rear end, then flew away.

They really enjoy being dicks to raptors. This one flew onto a branch right next to a Red-shouldered Hawk and called at it for almost a whole minute until the hawk got pissed and made a pass at the crow.

These two birds are so underweight that you can see the bones of their wings. Luckily, as you can see in the photo, they're eating very well now and we hope in a few weeks they will recover enough to be released back to their flock.

One time my cat attacked a magpie but it got away, so for the rest of the summer we'd have magpies in all the trees surrounding our house and they'd harass the cat whenever he went outside.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa loving incompetent loving writer, Australian magpies aren't in the loving Corvid family. That's European magpies, which are a completely different loving species you useless twits. Don't just type "magpie" into Wikipedia next time you're researching Australian magpies. gently caress

Also the "stick eyes on the back of your hat/helmet" and "stick sticks in your helmet' DON'T WORK. An umbrella that's unfolded will shield you from maggies. A stick will do jack poo poo.
