Bored posted:Last year, someone posted an article about some peregrine falcons. The female of a mated pair was injured and taken to a rehab facility for a long recovery. So the male, thinking she was dead, found a new mate. Several months later, his now healthy, original mate was released. I cannot find this story via Google and there is no search function on the iAwful app. Can someone direct me to this article? They were actually red-tailed hawks. So much drama! Here's a 2019 update too.

Video of a lady being chased by a curious cassowary which is just interested in her phone. I've queued the video up to the part which, more than any other video I've ever watched, demonstrates what it must have been like to be run down by a dinosaur. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mi5hp4gR_fg&t=59s

I hand-fed a baby grey crow wet dogfood a few times and they make the funniest eating noises - so much stifled cawing  That baby was one of a couple of dozen raised by a very stable crow family which lived in a tree near my family home for at least 20 years. The first time one of us interacted with a crow chick was when it fell out of the nest while fledging - the parents attacked us as an obvious threat, but after a couple of days of seeing that we were just picking the little guy up and putting him on a high place so he'd be safe when night came, they realised that we were weird but friendly humans and stopped attacking.  In the years afterwards, they regularly left the newly-fledged chicks to play around on the ground when any of us were sitting outside - we basically became their babysitters. Grey crow babies are great; very chatty compared to the adults and they really like to talk while pottering around poking at sticks and interesting pebbles. I miss them a lot

Reallycoolname posted:I love corvid stories like these. Wish there was a good big compliation I can just read through. Watching them over years gives you a real insight into just how intelligent and individual they are - grey crows aren't flock birds so there was only the 2 parents plus that year's 2-3 babies, so we got familiar with them as individuals, not just as members of a big group. A couple of times one or other of the parent birds died and the remaining bird got a new mate and it was really obvious because the new bird would have different habits and even sound a bit different at first. One time it was a new male and he was just obsessed with water and baths, like, he'd take 2-3 long baths every day and habitually dipped all his food in water as well. His chicks didn't copy his bathing habits but they did seem to wash their food just like ol dad. Unfortunately he didn't last very long, I'd guess a cat got him during one of his baths, or maybe while he was rolling around on the grass to dry himself afterwards. He used to get too saturated to fly, so he'd walk off down the road until he reached a tree with nice low branches that he could clamber up into  The last of that dynasty died about 5 years ago when the remaining adult pair were both pretty old and unwell - the hen had previously broken her leg and it healed very crooked, and the male seems to have arthritis or something in his feet- he'd hop across the grass and stop and peck at his feet a little, then hop on again. They raised a last chick and survived the winter pretty well, but when spring came, a completely new pair of grey crows starting pushing to take over their nesting tree and they were just too old and frail to fight them off. The last we saw of them was standing together on the roof of a house a little way off; we put some food down for them and called them like we usually did but they just flew away and that was that, we never saw them again. It was heartbreaking but a strangely dignified end.

Hmm, something seems off here... e: oops I'm dumb. Only saw the second half of the video and thought for sure it was a bat.
