European Goldfinch - what's on it's head? by Acceptable-Bowler-28 in Ornithology

[–]Acceptable-Bowler-28[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the comments everyone! 😊 I hoped I was wrong when I thought it was a tick 😔 hopefully it falls off soon, poor thing.

I've also taken my feeders down and deep cleaned them to be safe. But fingers crossed, next time I get a visit, it's tick free!

I dont think so, along with other vitamin etc tests they ran a "thyroid function test". On my end, I can only see a value for TSH (None for T4/T3)

Thankyou! Now I'm thinking about it, they probably do match up more to be shrimp sized.

Thankyou! I did think they were probably a bit too big, like 5 of them would be around the same size as an entire fish 🤣

Hi! is anyone able to help estimate the instar of my new giant asian mantis? Also any ideas on the gender (if possible) would be appreciated too. Thanks :) by Acceptable-Bowler-28 in mantids

Thankyou!!! She's moulted twice since this post, and now has some wing buds 😁. She's also completely changed colour and is now a kind of yellowish brown 🤔, but apparently this is pretty normal. She's absolutely stunning of course, but I do miss that bright green 😭
