Every day.Every day I'm subjected to "cute" or "funny" videos of pet birds interacting with cats or dogs or ferrets. For the last time internet people:
These.Are.NOT. Cute.
No matter how trained the animals are or how "friendly" the interactions look to humans-and they frequently are not- anyone who's making these is actively endangering their bird- and possibly also their dog/cat for likes.
Cats and dogs are not only predators, they can easily kill a bird through normal play behaviours as well- one hard smack from a cat can be enough to kill or severely injure something like a budgie or a cockatiel.and I'm not even talking about things like play biting here.
And even the friendliest best trained most passive cat might not be able to resist their natural instinct to chase birds. One slip up is enough.
On top of that cat saliva contains bacteria that are toxic to birds.
Please stop. Don't like these, don't reblog these, and most definitely do not make these.
Sincerely, someone who owns both birds and cats.

The croworkers on this fine (dreary) morning!
I guess this is the difference here between 'parking lot crows' (they're fish crows), and my home crows (they're American crows)-- you can also tell fish crows from their much more 'nasal' sounding caw. I find that "parking lot crows" like this are very used to people. As to what they are eating? I'm the corvid lady...of course I have peanuts in my car at all times.
Oh how different a journey I would have had if Hekyll and the crew were more people oriented!

[Video description: A soaking wet white and yellow-crested cockatoo bathes on a high perch. He wiggles and bobs emphatically with his feathers fluffed out.
Audio is of a woman talking to the cockatoo with an amused tone, asking questions like "do you want more shower?" and laughing in delight as the bird moves more vigorously in response. End description]
I just remembered Buttons the Cockatoo exists. I love him so much

If you see an animal, especially a wild animal, in danger, what do you do?
A) Call a professional
B) Call a professional
C) Call a professional
D) Call a professional
Yes, that's right! The answer is call a professional! Do not fucking attempt to move or "help" the animal yourself! 99/100 you will literally make everything worse and might even end up killing the animal!
Do not reblog the video of a bird with its feet frozen to a pole. It is not cute. The bird is being bent backwards. I was literally expecting to see it die on fucking camera.

The Bearded Vulture is the only known animal whose diet is almost exclusively bone.
Tumblr media
The bone-eating giant bird which coats itself minerals like copper to get its rusty hue for unknown cosmetic reasons, most likely to show dominance. The brighter the hue, the more dominant the male.
They probably need the copper because its anti-bacterial properties. useful if you’re a carrion eater.

The bird has a 9 ft wingspan.
Tumblr media
Bearded Vultures provide an indispensable service to the ecosystem, checking the spread of disease by consuming corpses. But the bearded’s diet is 95 percent bone. It can wait for the other scavengers to strip the body clean, then stroll in at its leisure to take its fill.
