They're wild animals and it stresses them.

Because there's always someone who think "touching" means chasing down, lifting up by the tail and tormenting while they smile for the camera.

I asked my grandmother this once; she said it's because the squirrels are greedy little bastards who'll eat out of the squirrel feeder, and still ransack the bird feeders.

Mind you she said this after having installed a squirrel-feeder anyway, and every time we visited, every afternoon without fail a squirrel was sound asleep half in and half out of the thing after having gorged himself to the point of food-coma.

Reminds me of the possum who found his way inside a pastry shop and ate so much he couldn't even move when the owners found him the next day.




For reference - he fit through that tiny chewed hole, now look how fat he is.

The latest science says that birds are dinosaurs. Not descended from dinosaurs, actually dinosaurs. You toggle one gene on and they grow teeth. You stick a plunger to a chicken's butt, and it walks like a raptor. Dinosaurs are alive and well, and you can watch them feed in your back yard.

I found an abstract for a research paper many years ago on the effect of delaying the activation of genes for (I think) vitamin A production in birds when they're still developing in the egg. When they altered the point at which the vitamin production was supposed to begin, the birds developed scales instead of feathers.

Sadly, abstracts don't come with photos so I'll never know what the birds - I think they were chickens - looked like, but I'm betting it was uncannily like dinosaurs.

Ever look at a bird's feet? Scales.




Imagine the whole bird looking likes that. Yup, dinosaur.

We had chooks as a kid and did this to them all the time.

Roll them on their backs and gently trace a line from their neck to their abdomen a few times and it mesmerises them. They'll stay frozen for up to a minute unless you poke them or make a loud noise, like clapping.

You do definitely not need Flash. You need Firefox 45 and up (because something broke it in previous versions) and you need Firefox' Tracking Protection disabled for the forums (because that blocks the Twitter image host). If you're using something else that blocks cross site requests and scripts, like uMatrix, Policeman, Ghostery, Noscript or whatever, then those might also need to have permissions set up to allow the Twitter embeds to work properly.

I finally managed to track it down using your post as a starting point. Thanks.

For some reason I had set "media.mediasource.mp4.enabled" to false in about :config. Setting it back to default has fixed everything - well until I rediscover what was broken in the first place. But that's a problem for tomorrow.

I was sick last weekend and my dog was having none of it.

Cohen kept wandering into the room where I had a yet-to-be-unpacked suitcase full of dog stuff, bringing me various treasures in an attempt to get me off my butt. First, it was a bag of treats. Then it was a blanket. Then it was a frisbee (see photo). Then it was a shoe. Subtle, she's not. :3:



She was saying, "I can see you're miserable. These things make me happy. I hope they make you happy. Also, taking me for a walk makes me happy, so you should totally do that, too."
