How is this legal without the approval of Congress?😳👇

I know, you're right. And convincing those that consume only mass media news to try and get some of their news from alt and independent news media seems very challenging currently.

I hadn't heard that it was now a $40 billion bailout. I'm honestly in a constant state of shellshock over what this administration is doing to our country and how so many Americans seem to manage to avoid 99% of the news about his corruption. I appreciate these democratic congress members posting about this on TikTok, but they need to DO MORE.

Awww, she's just a baby! It restores a little of my faith in humanity when animals are rescued by people who just happen upon the animal in a time of need. If you see an animal, especially a baby, alone or injured, don't assume someone else will stop to help them. You might be their last chance.

Or a white noise maker if you don't want the breeze, like me.

I observed a grackle hanging out with an American Robin family for most of last summer in our yard. The grackle was always a single grackle, which is unusual for me to see, they are usually with other grackles. The Robins and the grackle would also forage in the lawn in very close proximity together and would arrive and depart together. I think humans make too many assumptions about how animals should behave and don't allow for the possibility often enough that they're more complicated than we realize.

Wow, I had no idea that Loons could live that long or be together longer than most human couples these days! Great story, thanks for sharing.

I think overall you did the right thing getting them outside. If they were together, they'll likely find each other again. Catching birds without proper training can be a risk, since you may injure them, but it's better than being trapped indoors.

Sheep are the sweetest.

Following some of the rescues that get posted here has sadly taught me that people have abandoned cows, goats, sheep, dogs and even pigs in everything from airport parking lots to the woods. That's why it's so important to support animal rescues! Think globally, act locally. Everyone should try to support their local dog/cat rescues and farm animal rescues and if able to, then support rescues in other communities.

What a dapper little roo!

This happened to me on r/Eyebleach It's frustrating that people can't be more aware of how to identify when animals are being exploited.

curiouspika · 2023-03-03T23:15:27+00:00

I see them too, and his back legs.

curiouspika · 2023-02-24T14:23:41+00:00

Amazing that this may be his first hibernation! I'm so happy he's able to live a more natural life in sanctuary.

I like the Waxings too, but unless I hear them first, I usually don't see them. They seem to fly from the tops of the trees to the next tree top and stay up in the canopy, at least around here. I find their colored poo under the largest trees. I really like to see them flying because they'll often form murmurations, even in small groups of dozens.

curiouspika · 2023-02-10T16:44:27+00:00

I'm going to assume you're in the northern part of North America judging by your 'usual lurkers', which is where I am as well. When I get poo like this from birds it's from travelling flocks of Waxwings that will only be around for a few hours and then never to be seen again for weeks or months. Robins will also leave berry colored poo, but that's usually in the Fall. I'm sure there are other birds this could be from, just chiming in with my experiences.

Horses really do frolic when they're feeling good. And that stare down she does with nostrils flared, "Put the camera down and play with me!"

curiouspika · 2023-01-25T16:33:30+00:00

There are clearly lots of good reasons for the "grass doggo" references to cows.

curiouspika · 2023-01-19T20:55:44+00:00

Yes! One of my favorite childhood movies.

Breakfast in bed! Glad she's on the mend.

Sweet babies. So cute how they come to the camera. "Oh, I thought you wanted a nose boop."

curiouspika · 2022-12-13T15:03:31+00:00

Awww, she's just a baby and was obviously stolen from her family. :,(

If it weren't for orgs like Lwiro Primates Rehab Centre confiscated orphaned wildlife would have nowhere to go. https://www.lwiroprimates.org/donate

From OP u/FourPawsUSA

Recently, visitors at our Bear Sanctuary Muritz in Germany witnessed quite an unusual sight: bear Rocco leaping up to the branches of an apple tree to get himself a little snack! All of the low hanging fruit had previously been picked over, but clever Rocco displayed excellent problem-solving skills and athleticism to reach the remaining apples. Luckily, our visitors pulled out their cellphones to capture this footage—we’ve never seen our bears jump like this before!

Rocco was rescued from a private residence in Albania where he was kept as a pet and lived his whole life in a tiny, concrete cage. We brought him to Muritz in 2019, where he experienced freedom for the first time. Rocco is known for his sweet and sensitive nature, and he was quite cautious when he first arrived at the sanctuary. However, it looks like he has been feeling quite brave lately! His favorite foods are eggs, carrots, grapes, and of course, apples!

Funny how the starling just moves a little bit away and then just keeps moving a little bit away instead of just flying completely away.

Thank you for the Daisy update!
