please,can napoleon be birb of the day? like, hes a friggin loser deluxe, but he turned ten months today and I made this overview (im one of those nerds who make “see how much you’ve grown”-photo albums for their pets) and im sorta proud how far he’s come?
i think a lot of people hear the word ‘roadrunner’ and associate it immediately with the looney tunes character but uh. real roadrunners actually manage to look even stranger than the cartoon?
Before my parents married my dad worked at a national guard base in Arizona that basically consisted of a bunch of “office buildings” made up of clusters of those long, thin pre-fab style tube houses. In the afternoons if it wasn’t too hot the guys in his building would open the doors on either end to get a breeze through. Apparently a local roadrunner took this as an open invitation and started coming in to “inspect” the offices each day/use the long hallway as an indoor runway. He go up and down the hallway stopping at each desk to see if anyone had anything tasty for him and then wander back out the other end and go about his roadrunner day. If they didn’t open the doors right away he’d just be hanging out, waiting outside the building until someone let him in. They are apparently highly curious (and also incredibly trusting) birds.
this just made me so happy thank you for sharing your story
today’s bird is: a unusually colored feral muscovy duck!
Zazu always has to welcome new rescue birds to the house 🙄🥳
the azure jay is a large, bright blue jay native to a small range in south america. they are south america’s largest corvid, and like other corvids (jays, crows, ravens, and magpies), they are known for their intelligence and complex social structures. azure jays mainly feed on the seeds of the araucaria tree, but opportunistically feed on other seeds, fruits, and insects.
hey just thought i should mention that toucans often eat their food by picking it up and throwing it in the air and catching it like fruit-slinging maniacs
