It was time to check the Long-eared Owl nest box to ring/band the owlets today. Little dude has attitude!
"Oh."
"Did you bring food or are you just here to annoy me?”
Makes me think of the Skeksis dinner scene!
Hah! Yesterday I watched a stray cat enjoy a mouse. It was at once interesting and gross. She consumed bones and all, and finally swallowed the tail in a final gulp.
It is brutal in a way, but it is efficient and wastes nothing, so who are we to criticize? 🤔
It was oddly amusing seeing the Cooper's Hawk the other day "murder" its meal I brought it. Having the snacks be not alive to begin with makes it exponentially easier to swallow, both for them and myself. They're just even smaller Cornish hens at that point.
I just can't imagine how/if cats pass bones! I need to look it up. The old timers used to make puddings and included things currently thrown away, eyes, bladders, etc. A neighbor told me he won't eat store bought pudding because he watched it being made at home. Oddly, they rest hotdogs.
Do you all warm up your feathered friends meals?
I wouldn't have though cats eating bones would have been a hard thing to look up, but after a few different queries, all I get is from stuff about people trying to give a raw diet to housecats. As they're 100% carnivores, I'm sure they're designed to handle whatever they would eat purposefully, but it would be nice to have more details.
That reminds me, I heard someone "donated" a case of vegan dog food the other day, whatever that is. I didn't get a chance to check it out.
I love hotdogs, despite their reputation. After having about a quarter million as a kid, it's just too late to worry about their contents at this point! 😄
The animals that aren't on formula all eat ambient temp food as far as I've seen thus far. I'm just happy if someone actually bothered to thaw out prey items for me, I usually have to thaw them myself and it takes forever soaking them in water and flipping and separating them and all that to try to speed it up. Some animals have the precise weight of the food recorded, and since they swallow it whole, I have to make sure it's flexible, so I've got to thaw the whole bag to make sure I can get something appropriate for the specific animals.
In the wild, they'll eat cached or found found, so most don't require it to be so particular. We do accommodate if they're picky eaters though, like with the pregnant opossum that wouldn't eat the raw eggs, only scrambled.
"Ach! Ge' weey ya gommy greet eedjit w' yer blasted sausage fingarrs!"
Misfits, Attitude.
Such a great logo.
Great brand recognition for sure. I think more people likely know the logo than the music.
It's like the girl (teen, high school probably) that I saw wearing an AC/DC shirt in 2007. She probably doesn't / didn't know their music. But, if I'm being fair, I had a Pink Floyd shirt in high school before I really knew what they were about. Can't point fingers. I'm old.
We've all done something similar at some point. Some stuff just looks cool, and you like it even if you may not know what it is.
I listen to German metal or industrial stuff and just assume they're saying cool stuff, but who knows. 😁
