Klyith posted:Every article about Flaco always includes a bit about how there are no other eurasian eagle owls here so he might get a bit crazy looking for a mate. I worked with a Peregrine named Dash who got hatched by hand from an illegally obtained egg from the DDT extinction era, and was thusly human imprinted. He was a major sperm donor to the reintroduction of the Peregrine Falcon, especially in urban areas. Being imprinted was decidedly funny for kids in school as an educational animal; it was decidedly not funny when you were doing animal care for him and your boss was a woman.

Dumb Sex-Parrot posted:What did he do? He was decidedly a straight male Peregrine falcon who thought he was a person but acted like a bird, so you know... all those women I worked with at that place, from boss to coworker - if they worked with him, they were part of his harem. He was very charming, that's why he made a great educational animal. My experience with Dash's horseshit, after knowing him for years as a volunteer and then working with him as staff, was my boss (a woman) telling me to go clean the carcasses and stuff out of his mew, and then walking off and talking to a couple other employees (both women) on the way in. I got in with a push broom and a rake and never even started cleaning his mew before I saw a 3lb dinosaur made out of razor blades just silently drop to the ground in front of me. He was not happy about what he just saw. It wasn't even that any of us were hitting on each other, heavens no I'm not hitting on a bunch of lesbians; it's just that he's a dumb dinosaur birdbrain, and he thinks he's a person, and it's really weird and hard to deal with in real life when real life stuff happens. I had to throw the rake at him and then run for the broom against the wall, shoo him with the broom and then jump back into the airlock that latched with hook loop fasteners and ditch the broom. It was not very fun. He got to educate a lot of people and make his mark on the reintroduction of his species before he kicked the bucket, though.
