HOO'S HEAD GOES ALL THE WAY AROUND?

In terms of being a good familiar, they at least have the ability to make a decent circle, but it needs to be salt not dirt.

What are you talking about, plant pots are terrible familiars.

But then why not just go the other way? Why engage the tiny dinosaur? And why doesn't the bird leave? It doesn't look like the right season to be protecting a nest. Are they playing?

Canada geese are assholes and don't care about anything but themselves. They exist to wreck your (or anyone's) day and nothing else.

I can fly and my body is a boat but I'm going to lead a single file precession slowly walking in front of your car for five solid minutes all while honking and making GBS threads.

This is potentially a really stupid question, but is it possible for a cow to effectively headbutt something that small/low to the ground?

One has been bred to be a passive, barely mobile source of milk or meat, and one has a brain the size of a cashew. Just imagine that, for those animals, every day is Spring Break at a college for dementia patients.

Yeah, definitely. The herd of beefalo I share a pasture with is incredibly accurate low to the ground.

Au contraire, they can store things, grow plants, and be used to knock people out. They're the best familiars on the market. Let's see a lovely owl do all that.

They have hooves and they have teeth. That bird would be dead in a second if they were pissed, but it they don't really have any reason to fight the bird when it's easier to observe and walk away.

Yeah, that's why I wondered if they were somehow playing. Cows could trample a goose. If either the goose or cows felt genuinely threatened it would be easy to escape.

Having spent time around cows, they can be really silly and playful if in the right mood. That mood isn't often, but it happens.

Cows are extremely curious. Personality-wise they're kinda like dogs. Too bad we farm them to eat, not to be pets.
