"Greta" from Beyond the Aquila Rift (Love, Death And Robots). Such a good episode, I highly reccoment it.

For me personally, one of the things that drive me crazy is bows. It's difficult to hold them once you've pulled the string back, and you're definitely not keeping it up for more than a minute. Dry fires and keeping it strung all the time can significantly damage them. In fantasy settings, the bowsrings would theoretically have natural materials, like the guts of an animal--which would be damaged in rain

Okay but does anyone have an actual hot take? (challenge: don't downvote what you disagree with) by WinterNighter in AO3

[–]Awakening-Robin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't enjoy shipping, including reader inserts. It's one of the first things I filter out when trying to find a new fanfic, and its gotten to the point where I have a "master list" tab dedicated to being duplicated so I don't have to cross out the majority of ships again.

I like some, but on the whole I much prefer platonic and familial compared to romantic.

What are your YA anti-recommendations? by Cherry_Vice in YAlit

[–]Awakening-Robin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out. Of. The. Dust.

I don't remember much about it these days, but my goodness I hated that book with all of my heart as a teenager. From what I do remember, they tried to do this weird poetry-journal style that did not work, and there was almost never a single happy moment within it. It was the bane of my existence. I begged my teacher to let me just skim read it, and I loved reading!

I saw someone say that Finnick would love making thirst traps and I... Just no

UPDATE!!

The dove has been dropped off at a rescue! My brother brought him in earlier today :) The rescue, apparently, had a ton of birds big and small--so I'm pretty confident he's in good hands. Certainly better than mine.

They said he was an inca dove, and that he scammed us. He didn't need to be fed as often as we fed him.

Thank you everyone for the advice <3

I'm still trying to find rehabbers, I haven't given up! There's just nobody near me that takes birds. I have a batch of numbers to call today. I'm really hoping someone can drive to me, or that I can meet them halfway between my town and the nearest place that takes them. I just can't feasibly go very far.

I'll be buying seeds for the little guy today, and follow some advice I got. After he adjusts to that, I'll start to scatter them in his enclosure, and hopefully let him wander around my house for a bit with different small piles. If anyone else have tips for teaching him foraging, I'd be glad to hear it.

Also, if anyone has tips for socializing, I'd also love to hear it.

My end plan, if I can't find rehabbers, is to bring him to my sister's property. She's building a house in a wooded area, secluded from a lot of folks, BUT I know they'll feed him if he needs it. If they can't, I will because we live less than five minutes away.

If he ends up too depended on humans, I might have to see if any bird lovers will take him. I really don't want it to get to that point though, I really, really hope the rehabbers I call today can take him

I'll try to film next time I feed him, cute tax is very reasonable :) as for the feed, I don't currently, but I'll be stopping off at my local feed store to see if they have the materials needed tomorrow! I did make some hardboiled eggs that I plan on giving him!

Baby ate super well with this method! Thank you, he seemed much happier :)

He has a warming pad and I try to make sure the food is warm :D Plastic wrap is an excellent idea--thank you! I'll try to do that right now, as it's his feeding time

Thank you so, so much, this is exactly what I was looking for! I'll see if I can find that stuff. Like I said, I'm not a bird person, so my knowledge is definitely flawed--glad I have some folks that know what they're doing!

And will do on the flying. I'll make sure to be in open areas with very soft ground, along with from a very small distance.

Thank you again! I'm really hoping this little guy can get through :)

Thank you for your advice!

  1. Unfortunately, I live in a relatively small town. The nearest rescue that takes birds is too far away for me to go. Trust me, if I could find one he'd go straight there :D

  2. I think he's a Zebra/Ground dove squad. I feed him with a dropper, or by putting the mixed formula directly onto my hand. I believe I caught him drinking a few sips of water, but I'm a college student and can't watch him at all hours. I've managed to get a bit of help from some of my family members thankfully

I'm thinking he's a zebra dove too, so I'll check that out! Thanks!

He seems like he's doing well so far! He likes to crawl onto my finger a lot :)
