its disheartening really. i feel like thats truly horror, just barely smart enough to do things that arent related to survival yet definitely not smart enough to understand any of it

Beware the Cow





When I was in London I visited the Tower of London and spent a lot of time photographing the ravens that hang out around there. They're super loving friendly when you have food or a drink or anything they want. They also dug into trash cans for food. I was sitting watching a pigeon try and get into the raven's food. That pigeon kept on getting closer and closer and the raven was basically telling it to gently caress off but the pigeon didn't listen so the raven just tore a chunk of feathers out of the pigeon's neck. Apparently pigeons have small necks because there was a little blood but it was mostly feathers and the pigeon hosed right off. I've got photos of it, they're not great since the whole attack caught me by surprise.

Here's a link to the imgur album. Thanks to imgur's terrible new interface I can't figure out how post the small thumbnails.

Don't gently caress with this:

please do not give a parrot coffee as it can kill them :smith:

besides they prefer a fun tropical cocktail:



The keas didn't seem to get much coffee. Probably was mostly just sugar and cream. If you watch the video closely the guy clearly drinks his whole coffee before playing with them.

That monkey is such an rear end in a top hat. It shoved a couple animals off the table and then started beating up that puppy. Fantastic video.

Keas are loving fascinating birds and I found a 20 minute documentary on youtube with Attenborough narrating. There's a "full" version on youtube but it's got some weird video effect thing that makes the video bob and weave and look bad.

Apparently there's no part 3 on youtube :confused: so you'll have to watch the lovely full one if you want to see the whole thing.

pigeons are cool and I like to see them strut around like they own the place then get spooked or hosed up and fly off
