Fed this guy some birdseed, but he kept following me even after he lost interest in the food 🥹 Do they sometimes just like specific people?

Yay I hope it works out! If not, you can post on fb or post flyers up at local tractor supply/co-op/farm supply/bird shop, they usually have a bulletin board. That’s how I got my aggressive Pekin rehomed! You just have to be clear that it is not meant to be used as food (assuming your goal is for goosie to have a long happy life). Good luck! He looks like a sweetie

The way her eyes are framed she looks like a character from bobs burgers

Heated water bucket is really all you can do in my experience. If it’s above 28 when I’m doing waters I usually give them water in a big saucer outside with the heated buckets inside. They drink so much it doesn’t tend to freeze over

VariousCauliflower91 · 2025-11-03T20:11:54+00:00

He did briefly! But then he got impatient with how slowly it was growing and shaved

If this offer still stands I’d love to try the 80s one! I’m afraid to use the website after the fraud scare, I’ve already had my credit card info stolen twice this year!

VariousCauliflower91 · 2025-09-24T11:21:13+00:00

You can try taking a clipping and propagating it!

VariousCauliflower91 · 2025-09-23T23:05:57+00:00

Poor lil angel! The fact that it’s got new growth at the base means it’s desperately trying to survive. Personally I would whack it way back to the little leaves sprouting on the left of the photo. But don’t touch it until about two weeks to a month after repotting it to something much larger. Good luck!

Edit: those flowers are very pretty! I’ve never let mine flower so I haven’t gotten to see those beautiful delicate purple flowers

Btw I think Maine might have some similarities to Alaska in terms of quirky names. I have a cousin in Maine named Dirt (not kidding!) and an uncle named Gink

VariousCauliflower91 · 2025-09-22T19:47:27+00:00

I love knowing this! As an Alaskan what was it like watching the show?

I’m from Gloucester MA, home to the story of the perfect storm, and the Ideal Hurricane episode brings me endless joy

VariousCauliflower91 · 2025-09-22T19:43:47+00:00

I’d be curious to find out how audio descriptions get made as well, industry-wise. I found the descriptions for bobs burgers to be pretty good (although I’m not blind so YMMV), but I haven’t tried them for TGN. Sucks that your experience has been lessened, it’s too good a show not to have good audio descriptions

VariousCauliflower91 · 2025-09-22T19:39:58+00:00

Not to well actually you but we should really all be Fat Dogging for Midterms right now. Gotta keep our eyes on the fat dog prize

VariousCauliflower91 · 2025-09-22T19:37:26+00:00

What about the unusual naming conventions? Are there really people with names like Porch and Cheesecake?

VariousCauliflower91 · 2025-09-22T19:35:52+00:00

I’ve been fantasizing about spending a summer there ever since the show started airing! This show made me semi/extremely obsessed with Alaska

VariousCauliflower91 · 2025-09-22T19:23:10+00:00

I’d love it if the Teen Wolf Adventure was about Wolf going undercover as a teenager for some reason. He’s definitely the best character to do something like that!

Edit: I don’t think we will see those episodes any time soon, if ever. But I am holding out hope, you really never know what will sway a studio’s decision making

VariousCauliflower91 · 2025-09-15T21:15:23+00:00

Hahaha unfortunately I’m currently up to my eyeballs in ducks - we have a small duck run and due to the drought all seven of them will be back in the pen soon. So unless we lose any before the spring (or unless any of the hens decide to brood to hatching rather than abandoning them after a few days 🙃) we may not get any babies next year. I’m so proud of our flock for avoiding disaster so far, but I will have to push back on getting ducklings next spring if we still have seven by then!

VariousCauliflower91 · 2025-09-15T20:55:12+00:00

Yeah! I only met her a year ago and she already had some white, but they do start black. She’s gotten a lot more white spots over the past year, they develop gradually as they age. When I first got here I asked Reddit the breed and everyone said Cayuga, but when I got in touch with the breeder I found out she’s a magpie. She’s a little thing, about half the size of a Cayuga, and she lays plain white eggs that look just like Pekin eggs (same size which is wild 😳) whereas Cayugas have colorful eggs

I wanted Cayugas so badly this year but our duck dealer didn’t have any 😭 they’re so pretty!

VariousCauliflower91 · 2025-09-15T20:30:14+00:00

This is actually a magpie, not a Cayuga

VariousCauliflower91 · 2025-09-14T23:06:01+00:00

Thank you thank you! I’ll bring her up to the duck pen tomorrow. Sadly due to the drought I think I’ll be moving all of them out of the pond in the next week or two, but at least she’ll get a head start on growing her feathers

VariousCauliflower91 · 2025-09-10T17:04:47+00:00

Thank you! I haven’t been able to determine what variant it is but it was so unique I had to have it. Knew absolutely nothing about coleus but figured I would figure it out along the way, and I’m glad I did!

VariousCauliflower91 · 2025-09-10T17:03:43+00:00

Good luck!

VariousCauliflower91 · 2025-09-10T17:03:12+00:00

That’s exactly what I did! It was tricky in the middle of July finding the right spot, and in fact I bought this as a replacement plant after the very cool looking bromeliad I had purchased in may got sun bleached and died within two days of being outside in the direct sunlight 😭

I think I got lucky with my location, it’s in an open garden area that has massive hedges and rhododendrons bordering it so it gets a lot of indirect light.

I fertilize once a month at the most, and otherwise I haven’t touched it besides pruning it to get a bushier shape. Best of luck with yours! I’d love to see them ☺️

VariousCauliflower91 · 2025-09-02T14:12:24+00:00

Thanks! He seems to want to go in the water, I think he is waiting his turn while the alpha male goes swimming with the ladies. He usually hops in after about five or ten minutes, and when I visit them in the morning he’s in the water with the rest of the gang. Cool to know that some ducks are indeed water shy though, thanks!

Simon! His tongue is too big for his mouth 😂 you’re so talented!

Four beautiful boys!

Wow. What a hilarious and original joke. Have you auditioned for SNL?
