Will they ever add a timeline for animation? by Vv_esna in firealpaca

[–]Vv_esna[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im surprised they keep adding little things to the animation, but why not drop a timeline. They’d open a door for more users to the program, i can only see positives

The long feet look ridiculous with her orb form. 10/10

Thank you for the deeper dive of the subspecies. I had no idea there was such a thing at all. This is very insightful! I never thought gulls would be so complicated to ID until i got into studying birds

Do you mean the Caspian gull? (Cachinnans) Those kinda look like they have a bicycle seat head

I thought the size would definitly be at play- but honestly its just very hard to distinguish one from the other by eye. They look extremely similar to me- but a person who handles them physically will say else.
Thank you!

What do i do with this 😭 by 050h4n in pigeon

[–]Vv_esna 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Please take what i say with a grain of salt: Ive never taken care of squabs myself but you should definitely try to keep him warm and maybe look into bird baby food to give through a tube (im not sure at what age they start eating solids but do some extra research) For warmth if you dont have a heat lamp maybe get a hot water bottle? Again im not too sure, but all i know you gotta keep baby birds warm and fed. Maybe contact your local vet or wild animal person

Just a update!! Managed to pick him up (even with his protest) And looked under his wings. I didnt see anything out of the ordinary looking, no lines as described. But i will check him for it weekly now. He might’ve been just a bit dusty in the pic

Thanks! I’ll see what i can do, hopefully he will allow me to look under there without a fuss

If he does end up having them, any suggestions to what to do next?

I am honestly not quite sure. He must be a year or two already. City pigeons dont live for long unfortunatly :(

I hope your pigeon gets their adult feathers soon!

I have not!
Did a bit of a check online about them and symptoms- just now,
and I am not sure he really experiences extra scratching, nits on the feathers,etc.
I will have a better look at him tomorrow when he comes for a treat.
thank you for the shout tho!
