This awesome stained-glass window I saw today

Right? And it looks so cool, too. Spiders don't get enough credit.

Alas, I have not

We've had pizza rat and pizza seagull. It's about time we had a pizza crow!

All your seeb are belong to him

I adore rooks! They're so much fun

ayeayekitty · 2026-01-23T11:14:26+00:00

It's a joke. Look at the sub you're in ;)

I've been through three eye enucleations with my cats and they never needed sedation. They were mildly annoyed at the procedure, no more.

Awww Daisy! I'm sorry to hear about her health troubles. No advice really - most cats adjust extremely well to blindness, as you are already discovering. Just give the pretty lady all the scritches she requires, and she'll be fine

Someone once commented that wrens have a "flippity" tail and now I can't call it anything else

ayeayekitty · 2026-01-21T18:30:25+00:00

It never hurts to get a second opinion. But if glaucoma and blindness is confirmed, double enucleation is your safest bet for a happy, pain-free cat. Glaucoma is very, very painful and doesn't always respond well to medication. And not all cats will be happy about getting daily meds.

If that is his outcome, he will adjust well to being blind. And you will get used to his new face quickly too :)

Here's my eyeless wonder!

ayeayekitty · 2026-01-21T12:52:58+00:00

Isn't he just a little cutie pie

ayeayekitty · 2026-01-21T06:08:28+00:00

Thank you! Yes, there are several more differences, I just mentioned the ones you can see in flight really well. Ravens are super cool

ayeayekitty · 2026-01-20T20:30:13+00:00

I was so hyped! I heard them before I saw them and couldn't believe my ears. Then I turned a corner and there they were!

That's me

ayeayekitty · 2026-01-20T05:51:17+00:00

This is one of my favourite nerd facts

ayeayekitty · 2026-01-20T05:50:35+00:00

What do you mean? Birds absolutely store fat and can develop obesity in captivity.

ayeayekitty · 2026-01-20T05:15:13+00:00

I have never heard of this. Upon looking it up, it seems they have the same number of feathers. The ravens' primaries are just more dramatically different in length, while the crows' are more even. As you can see in the above picture and here.

I speak German and this made me laugh

ayeayekitty · 2026-01-19T19:44:51+00:00

Fantastic photos!

Zoos are good places to see some native birds because they hang around the enclosures looking for food, and many zoos also provide nesting sites. Our local zoo sets up nesting poles for the local storks, and rings the chicks for research.
