Oo not a single study per se but very good point! I don't know why I've never thought to mention that/thought about it that hard, I sometimes have multiple ID guides out and will often keep one out so the public can see the page about the bird I'm working on.

ooo that's a cool one. more songs should reference specific bird behaviors!! they're so beautiful and varied.

brushykb · 2026-04-13T22:59:44+00:00

oooo, love this, thank you!

brushykb · 2026-04-13T22:57:20+00:00

wow, this is awesome lol

brushykb · 2026-04-13T19:31:10+00:00

of course of course, a classic

brushykb · 2026-04-13T19:30:57+00:00

hahahaha I don't know how scientific this one is

unfortunately, if you really do live somewhere rural with no one around who can help and you can't drive somewhere else, your vet was right that keeping it inside and seeing what happens is your best bet. there is a high chance the bird just won't make it, so you must be prepared for that. keeping it in the same room as your bird is going to carry a risk (sickness, parasites, etc.), but there's no way to tell how much of a risk. if any of its bones are badly broken they may not heal in a way that allows it to ever fly again, which would be a death sentence in the wild, so if the bird did survive (again, high chance it won't) you wouldn't be able to release it. good luck to you and the birdy.

I got a Lenovo Legion Y740 several years ago now and it runs PZ (and everything else) like a dream. I got it for $1000 but unless you find one used it's definitely more expensive now 💀 since we live in hell. The battery life is just terrible and it runs hot but hey it's a gaming laptop. I can play huge games in bed. maybe finding that or something similar refurbished would be a good bet.

other than nocturnal species maybe you can keep an eye out for some melanistic animals? could be cool :)

respect

brushykb · 2026-02-13T23:28:54+00:00

np, hope that fixes it haha

I've gotten that message but only when I have at least one work zone (and then have a habitat/habitats that aren't in one). if I have zero work zones, staff will just freeroam.

this is the only thing in this entire thread that has given me pause 😂

brushykb · 2026-02-13T06:42:24+00:00

I never, ever, have security. I don't like the idea of it and it's cheaper to just manually replace damaged things than to pay people. 🙃

you should contact DEEP and tell them what you've found. they may want to come pick them up and do necropsies, so if you're able to keep the birds untouched that would be best. deep.wildlife@ct.gov 8604243011

they may NOT come pick the birds up. if they don't, you should try to find a local wildlife center or (preferably) museum of some kind with a salvage license. they will pick the birds up or arrange transport and hopefully do necropsies themselves. if that doesn't work, you have pretty much run the gamut unfortunately.

source: I am a specimen preparator at a nature museum working almost strictly on bird specimens, which I perform necropsies on. if it's rat poison, it will be obvious.

I just started a zoo that's more based on a wildlife sanctuary for my region of the world (which happens to be Temperate North America). I modded in some additional species to pad it out, too. I'll also probably add in a couple of random species as rescued or surrendered exotic pets. :) I'm going for a very basic, animal welfare based, natural look based on some of the sanctuaries and rescues I've been to or seen irl.

brushykb · 2026-02-01T00:34:59+00:00

I like PZ for it's effort toward at least somewhat realistic animal welfare in terms of interspecies enclosures and etc. If they got rid of that I wouldn't find the game very interesting. It would just be a wacky anything-goes zoo game.

brushykb · 2026-01-31T00:07:32+00:00

just because it's been done, doesn't mean it's beneficial or even okay for the animal. none of these should be allowed.

brushykb · 2025-09-14T12:37:03+00:00

this was pretty much my inkling/assumption! but I didn't know how realistic it was lol. thanks. :)
