Today is apparently ANGRY STABBY BIRB DAY.
I was taking a walk on the boardwalk out near Bolstadt in Long Beach, when I came across this western grebe (Aechmophorus occidentalis) stranded on the path ahead of me. It looked alert and uninjured, so chances were just that it couldn't take flight off of the hard surface, but I called Peninsula Wild Care anyway to see if they wanted to bring it in for a checkup.
They quickly coordinated a couple of volunteers to meet me nearby, and I needed to get the grebe out of the way since a lot of people walk their dogs there and not all of them are on leashes. I figured okay, this is a relatively small bird, not as big as the muscovies I've carted around on the farm, and it seems calm, right?
NOPE. As I tried to gently reach for the grebe it turned from a calm, if confused pile of feathers on the decking to Stabby McStabberson, and I very nearly got jabbed and nipped a few times by a long, pointy beak attached to a surprisingly agile and very much NOT happy bird. I ended up having to take my hoodie off and dropping it over the entire grebe, and only when the lights were out could I bundle it up and carry it over to the meeting place.
Since it was pretty energetic, not obviously sick or injured, and its body condition felt decent (at least through the hoodie) I'm hoping it's going to get released soon enough after a checkup and a nice meal of fish. Many waterbirds have a lot of trouble taking off from hard surfaces because their feet are so far back on their bodies--which is great for swimming and water takeoffs, but not so helpful on land. If the bird had stayed stranded there they could have been injured or killed by another animal, or ended up dehydrated.
So let's hear it for Stabby the Angry Grebe, and wish them a good release back into the wild!

I hate swimming!!
(Bandit has advanced adrenal disease which has led to his balding, he was surrendered along with his sister recently and is recieving treatment in the form of lupron shots and an deslorelin implant on tuesday. His fur may grow back but it also might not! Bandit gets oatmeal and epsom salt soaks to soothe his skin, he also suffers from sores on his tail due to long term exposure to urine and feces, he was brought in for euthanasia for diarrhea and a rectal prolapse and then surrendered to me instead, these issues have since improved greatly)

My ferret shelter needs your help!
The shelter I work with, Washington Ferret Rescue & Shelter (WFRS), has a fantastic opportunity right now: a portable x-ray machine. We help a lot of sick ferrets, and often time is of the essence when we need to find out what's wrong. And with the price we pay for rads at a vet clinic, it would pay for itself in under 100 ferrets, reducing future med costs!
The machine is a nine-hour round trip away, but my wife and I are ready to go get it if we can wrangle the funds.
It's $3,000 for the machine, $550 for the U-Haul and gas, and $200 to register it with the state. That's a lot for one person, and not in the shelter's budget... but doable by a hundred through the magic of crowdsourcing!
The post about it is here: https://www.washingtonferret.org/newsletters.php?id=9
The shelter's PayPal is https://paypal.me/washingtonferret
Or their Zelle account is [email protected]
Here are some cute photos as a tax on my begging!

I don't have much reach on my own so please share this if you can!!!
@rachiesratirementhome is an amazing, Not For Profit organization that cares for pet rats that have been injured, abandoned, surrendered, etc. You name it, they've done it. As a rat lover I have been following them for YEARS and they work wonders to care for, rehome, or - when necessary - provide quality End of Life care to pet rats. Not just the elderly at the ripe old age of 3. They take in
"I Didnt Know They Were So Expensive."
"The kids didn't like them."
"I Just Thought She Was Fat."
And much more!!
All joking aside they are in Critical Need of relocating but, as a lowly American, I know nothing of Australian housing specifications and can only help in the form of humorously exaggerated text posts.
Have you ever shared any Rat of the Week posts? I can almost guarantee you it was them.
Do you remember #TheFullSpoon?
RRH baby.
So, if you're an Australian rat lover, animal lover of any kind, care about nonprofit organizations, enjoy random challenges and have 20 minutes to spare, or just really fucking good at real estate in general????

Or if you don't have FB, message me your advice or reply to this post and I'll forward it to them!!
TIA to anyone and everyone who helps in this cause, even if it's just to spread the word.

While I’m on the topic of hedgehog facts, The UK hedgehog is actually endangered or close to being endangered (about a 33% to 77% decline in certain areas.) and it is expected that they could go extinct in the next ten years. It’d be tragic for the UK to lose one of their most iconic and charming animals. So if you would like to help save some hedgie lives please consider donating to animal conservations in the UK they provide weak hedgehogs who won’t survive winter hibernation a warm place to stay and rescue them from life threatening injuries and illnesses and release them safely back into the wild.  Here are some good places you can donate to help the hedgehog and other animals!
