uber_stoat posted:i have recently learned that there is a type of owl that is named Powerful Owl. the name seems appropriate. We get them in inner suburban Melbourne. They scare the poo poo out of you at night because they wait until you walk right underneath them before they fly away and you just feel the beat of the wings in the air because they're so quiet.

They nest in tree hollows so you'd probably never see them

This is my second family, they sing to me and peck at the window if I'm too slow to give them seeds

According to Wikipedia "In general, musk ducks remain in the water all day long, alternately loafing and feeding energetically" They also float really low in the water. They're cool, chill, loafing dudes, they put on a hilarious splashing and chirping display in mating season and the babies ride on the mother's back. This is a sculpture I made of a pair, the male has the big wattle thing on his throat

Seeds are super calorie dense and bodies are really efficient with energy It's why it's easier to lose weight by eating less rather than exercise
