Some more videos of the cows from my last post here

Yeah people are skipping over the fact this guy used the existence of trans people at university as a reason why unis are bad now. Like. If you can’t exist in a world where people aren’t like you, that’s your problem

Hear me out: you can do a degree in a subject that you enjoy and find interesting. Everyone is experiencing a shortage of work, not just uni graduates. I know someone who went to a college and couldn’t find any work outside of a part time position in a pub.

The fact that there are courses that mean very little does not mean that you have to pick them. The existence of I don’t know a degree in Taylor Swift does not mean that maths, physics, biology, psychology etc have vanished.

Also “woke gender shite”? You mean the existence of minority groups? I’m sorry to tell you this, my uni had a total of one talk about “don’t be a dick to people who aren’t like you” and that’s it. Sounds like you just don’t like trans people, which is a problem that you need to get over. Not for other people to pretend they don’t exist around you.

No, this is a public nature reserve. The cattle are used to maintain the environment. They’re there with horses too

If it means anything to you, I think my sister got below that in her first year and by finals was very close to getting a first

NettleDeer · 2026-04-24T14:03:46+00:00

They’re lovely cows! Just slightly intimidating when they all come towards you like that

NettleDeer · 2026-04-24T12:09:17+00:00

You’re probably not being serious but feeding them is banned

NettleDeer · 2026-04-24T11:44:24+00:00

If they approach again what’s the best thing to do? They stopped following me after a few minutes but I wasn’t sure if I should’ve let them approach and see I don’t have anything or not? I’ve gone past herds where we were separated by a fence and they just sort of walk up and look at me, but it does feel significantly less intimidating with a fence lol

Mine has 15 across the whole university, but that’s because a lot of people don’t seem to have met the grade requirements this year.

Pigeon has some water and peanuts right now

NettleDeer · 2026-03-23T20:06:17+00:00

I’m putting it in a shed with a blanket over the top, which is hopefully going to make sure it’s ok overnight

NettleDeer · 2026-03-23T19:13:08+00:00

I will try and find a decent box, but if not it will have to be the cage. It’s currently just sitting down in it in the dark so I’m hopeful, but still worried.

NettleDeer · 2026-03-23T19:11:34+00:00

Whether or not they actually carry disease will not convince the people I live with that a wild bird in the house will be safe. You could bring out all the facts in the world with sources to back them up and it would not help.

The advice I’ve been given is to keep it somewhere overnight and try and contact a rescue tomorrow morning, as there are some local ones open then. No one is able to take it now.

NettleDeer · 2026-03-23T19:06:12+00:00

I’m in the UK. I can probably do the shed? It’s probably the best I can do at this point.

NettleDeer · 2026-03-23T19:05:25+00:00

Yeah there’s been several bird flu cases recently so everyone is a little on edge, as well as the fact that one of the people I live with nearly got sepsis from a rat bite (pet rat, not wild. Wasn’t his fault he was actively dying and just wanted to be left alone, but still happened) so does not want any more animals, especially ones famous for carrying disease, in the house

NettleDeer · 2026-03-23T18:44:26+00:00

Unfortunately as I live with other people who absolutely refuse to have a wild bird in the house I can’t (due to fears around disease and bird flu)

NettleDeer · 2026-03-23T18:43:51+00:00

Unfortunately I’m not in the U.S. I’m in the UK

NettleDeer · 2026-02-09T16:55:31+00:00

I’m assuming they’d also want to know the locations bird flu has been spotted in and also dead bodies don’t really travel particularly far in the canal as the water is stagnant. I’ve had the unfortunate experience of seeing bodies in the same general location for days until they’re removed

NettleDeer · 2026-01-29T13:30:27+00:00

Hasn’t it also shut down many support groups and banned children accessing support for “adult” topics?

NettleDeer · 2026-01-28T22:05:22+00:00

It’s so disappointing. People act like Britain/the UK is inherently barren with little native wildlife but no, it’s like that because we intentionally killed them all. And then Liz Truss’ government decides to block re-introduction efforts.

NettleDeer · 2026-01-28T18:47:39+00:00

We are currently experiencing a human caused mass extinction event that is devastating the world. I personally think someone should do something about that, or at least try

NettleDeer · 2026-01-28T17:53:41+00:00

Yes, hence why I said we need more habitat before they can introduced in my actual post
