Smelled like death and 3 or 4 power washes later you could still faintly smell the carrion. The car's paint was also damaged. Beautiful weird birds though.Tracey Ann Jaymeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10361953040642325561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12171673.post-79818415848241244782010-11-29T23:18:06.471-05:002010-11-29T23:18:06.471-05:00If you see a fledgling bird on the ground, unless ...If you see a fledgling bird on the ground, unless it is obviously injured, leave it alone. Bird parents will leave their fledglings to hop around on the ground while they go get food, then come back for them. <br />My daughter volunteered at the local wildlife rescue for two years. A lot of perfectly healthy fledglings were brought in by caring but uninformed people. As good as the folks at the wildlife center are to these babies, they are much better off being raised by their wild birdie 'rents.Terralunanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12171673.post-14779293901643348742010-11-29T00:37:42.246-05:002010-11-29T00:37:42.246-05:00Closest I ever got to a vulture was when I went on...Closest I ever got to a vulture was when I went on a long walk with my mom and she got tired and started to lag, just then the sky filled with Vultures and she hollared up at them, I'm not dead yet!!! and I offered to find a bungy cord to use to pulled/drag her along...Intense Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441598926026727682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12171673.post-70174243752008918872010-11-28T01:19:58.881-05:002010-11-28T01:19:58.881-05:00heh. um, might be drifting off topic but the bit a...heh. um, might be drifting off topic but the bit about "toilet habits" caught my interest. There is a chook (<i>Gallus gallus domesticus</i>) here that seems to have 'adopted' my backyard. Have a tendency to leave my back door open. Hid itself behind the toilet door one night; whoo boy. Is there some way to teach it to hop up on the porcelain?<br /><br />Also, chooks aren't all that far away from raptors. Worked in a shed full of 'em some time ago. Pity the one which got sick; pecked to death and eaten.<br /><br />(PS. word verification - duckdits, heh.)Davohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02785126939071213905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12171673.post-15460387333696905892010-11-27T22:11:20.590-05:002010-11-27T22:11:20.590-05:00Actually when I lived in St. Cloud, MN they even n...Actually when I lived in St. Cloud, MN they even nursed ducks that had been hit by cars back to health.
