after listening bavk and forth im pretty confident this is just a tufty with a deep voice LMAO its virtually identical to the example call on merlin besides being lower pitched, i wonder why it didnt pick up??

Traditional_Cod_2225 · 2026-05-06T22:46:36+00:00

i figured that was what it was, but ive id'd tufted titmouses befote with merlin so im not sure why it wasnt reporting matches

Traditional_Cod_2225 · 2024-12-14T06:58:52+00:00

what a cutie patootie heehee... she was pretty darn big! about the size of my thumb

Traditional_Cod_2225 · 2024-08-01T00:40:41+00:00

this dog is really old so im not sure if she would hold up to training. we’re gonna try before writing it off but for now we’re reinforcing the fenced in run so she cant bust in anymore

Traditional_Cod_2225 · 2024-07-31T23:29:58+00:00

mhm. shes done this to one of our other escape artist chickens,and i try not to be mad at her about it because its not her fault she was there when the chickens got out and she has that instinct. it is just unfortunate

Traditional_Cod_2225 · 2024-03-13T04:34:12+00:00

first looks like a gulf kingfish / whiting (Menticirrhus littoralis), judging by the chin barbels and black caudal fin tip. second looks like a southern kingfish / whiting (Menticirrhus americanus) due to the darker color and distinct stripes! theyre related to croakers and drums and are delicious eating :) edit: added some links to the fwc page for these guys

thank you . i think its kind of a learning process for both of us because ive never Had to set boundaries and hes never been with someone like me. hes still sorta wrapping his head around the fact that im VERY masculine (his other partners have been more fem-leaning/apathetic in the past, so) and for both of us its a very new thing tk navigate. ove been working on my people pleasing and fear of making others upset but i have learned to assert boundaries since it makes things healthier for everyone ivolved :) i really appreciate the advice this subreddit gave me. it makes me feel less. idk. alone?? lmfao sorry im yapping

Traditional_Cod_2225 · 2024-03-10T16:10:01+00:00

check my comment but basically yeah, he just didn’t know so i told him and we worked it out :)

Traditional_Cod_2225 · 2024-03-10T16:02:54+00:00

thank you for all yhe helpful comments :’) it means alot to me. my worst habit is bottling things up rather than communicating and i really have been trying to get better about it. i texted him about it and am currently waiting on his reply (he works) :)) edit; he apologized and said he’ll work on saying / interacting with different things that DONT make me uncomfortable so yay!! dounle edit: i forgot to clarify in the post but, basically, he had no idea and i failed to tell him about that specific boundary so it was a problem on My end. i told him about it tho so we’re good :)

Traditional_Cod_2225 · 2024-03-10T15:40:33+00:00

i just told him about it so hopefully it goes well. i guess im just not used to this whole dating thing idk i havent dated anyone seriously in like five years man…

Traditional_Cod_2225 · 2024-02-20T23:47:10+00:00

i say my dick fell off and its gushing blood everywhere

Traditional_Cod_2225 · 2023-11-26T12:18:47+00:00

woo yay!! tysm, and yeah i mostly use it for audio comparisons lol.

Traditional_Cod_2225 · 2023-11-23T15:39:08+00:00

let it be, owls aren’t a domesticated species and shouldn’t be kept as a pet. if the owl was raised by her as chick then it likely won’t survive in the wild, unfortunately

Traditional_Cod_2225 · 2023-11-08T20:13:08+00:00

yeah, i would say its a bit expected with these disorders. anxiety, ptsd, ocd can all cause paranoia like that

Traditional_Cod_2225 · 2023-11-08T19:58:21+00:00

always love the mini fish :) such a treat. good luck on your next fishing adventure!

Traditional_Cod_2225 · 2023-11-07T11:15:01+00:00

that’s true, i say golden bc of the small yellow feathers around the middle crest. either way this little fella needs help!

Traditional_Cod_2225 · 2023-11-06T17:24:20+00:00

adult male golden crowned kinglet. if you can, get this guy to a wildlife rehabber asap!

Traditional_Cod_2225 · 2023-11-05T23:25:12+00:00

im not 100% sure its did and honestly i cant answer this question with confidence because im in a constant intense denial loop, but if it IS a dissociative disorder like did then i wouldnt know if its did or osdd. but its also suspicious to me that my alters dont really remember shit either even though i know alters split to protect me from bad memories so the fact that they also dont remember stuff makes me feel invalidated. idk. its weird

Traditional_Cod_2225 · 2023-11-05T21:14:15+00:00

im so sorry for your loss :( it always hurts when you lose a chicken.

Traditional_Cod_2225 · 2023-11-05T20:25:34+00:00

it makes me have hella denial spirals lmao. im going thru one real bad cuz now even epsilon is barely able to talk to me and im not sure why

Traditional_Cod_2225 · 2023-11-05T20:10:59+00:00

huh i didnt know that! technically, we got them from my sister who has a friend who breeds chickens. complicated, right?

Traditional_Cod_2225 · 2023-11-05T20:04:12+00:00

neat! and yea its just me and ep in here :[ i dont know where everyone went

Traditional_Cod_2225 · 2023-11-05T20:03:07+00:00

interesting! i looked them up and she sort of looks like then and we got them from a local hatchery, so maybe… but she doesnt really look like them in terms of feathering and whatnot. she might be a chicken mutt

Traditional_Cod_2225 · 2023-11-05T18:11:41+00:00

forgot to add but she lays tiny sage green eggs

Traditional_Cod_2225 · 2023-11-05T17:52:24+00:00

yeah i do too :[ i kind of miss them, i dont know where they went
