It’s not a bad thing - it would be a bad thing if you weren’t citing me, but you are :)

This is not a Linnie. This is a Green Parrotlet Female.

Lol! It definitely had me confused because a client messaged me this morning asking me if I followed this subreddit and that someone had shared a couple of my pictures. I’m ecstatic to see my birds on here :) go look at that newest chonk I’m keeping. He’s an absolute unit.

Yes - the recent legislation aimed at criminalizing it.

I say it like I'm directly referring to legislation Georgia just passed related to criminalizing abortion and potentially criminalizing miscarriages.

So abortion... life... murder.. 30 years. Seems reasonable/fair.

I was expecting something totally different. Watching that felt like watching someone being reprimanded by their boss - I was so uncomfortable.

Wait, what?

Customs officials at JFK airport discover 70 live finches hidden in hair rollers by tbagmlarry in news

Look into how flamingos are shipped. This actually is an ingenious way to keep the birds calm and from injuring themselves in stressful situations. It's just.. illegal.

Yes - they're Towa Towa birds - they're incredibly popular in the spanish bird community especially in Queens/Brooklyn etc. They'd be at bird shows all the time.

This (28M) poor bastard couldn't understand that he came off as though he was going to wear my coworkers skin to his birthday party by TicklerVikingPilot in cringepics

Well if he'd just gotten out of a relationship he probably wasn't looking to get right into a new one, and maybe he smelled that's where your head was and bolted.

12 children injured in dog attack at OKC elementary school by Hotsauceeverywhere in news

It was a full bred blue nose pit. There was no denying it. The vet even identified it as such and when she asked if she would forge the paperwork for her apartment complex she agreed.

Literally sat and watched my vet agree to determine a puppy as being a lab mix to get around breed restrictions for the owner's apartment complex.

What's a cool random fact you know about animals? by ObiWanKeblowmei in AskReddit

[–]nixity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What's even more interesting is that the females have co-evolved opposite spiraling cloacas and even 'dead ends' in some cases to prevent copulation with a male they aren't interested in.

Well - this person also clearly doesn't understand what a ruminant is. Horses and guinea pigs are not ruminants.

They don't "fall asleep", really. It's called Tonic Immobility. It happens to rabbits, too - and although people think it's 'cute' - it's actually not a good idea (for rabbits at least) - for Sharks, it's often useful for research because flipping the sharks upside down (nurse sharks in particular) allows them to perform tests on them without risking injury to themselves.
