I remember a friend who was living in south Korea for a while talking about her roommate who insisted on buying expensive imported certified organic food, when the local farmers sold their produce cheaper, needed the support, and most couldn't even afford pesticides anyway, they all used duck gangs.

My reaction was basically, holy poo poo back up please tell me that "duck gang" is literal. It was. I was delighted.

Reminds me of when I was little & my grandparents had a neighbor with a chicken coop. Whenever he had new baby chicks, we'd take them out to the field behind his house like a little army & help them hunt bugs :3:

NSW has just bought up a huge cattle station to turn it into a national park in the hopes of giving these endangered birds a better chance.

I think that is pair of eastern screech owls and their babies. I also think one of the babbies may have fallen off of the bird bath at around a minute and a half.

https://youtu.be/ZcI44JywvgA

You can hear the whinny of the eastern screech owl all through the video, so I’m guessing there is at least one of another pair nearby, trying to locate its mate. Although that might be the owlettes talking.

Another owl tried to get into the bird bath at around 3 minutes I think. That’s a fairly small birdbath. Those owls are, like, 6 inches tall. Until I saw one nightly at my old apartment, I had no clue owls were made that tiny and cute.

Dude, ix-nay on the oice-vay.

I feel like somebody better go get that hummingbird some sugar water to make up for fooling it with the bright red necklace.

Like, sure, maybe it’s a dumb hummingbird (is that what a fledgling hummingbird looks like?), but still, it thought that necklace signaled food.

Juvenile or female, but I'd lean juvenile just because it seems a bit on the fluffy side and generally unsure about the world.

I had a hummingbird buzz me the other day because it was hoping the taillights of my car were something delicious. They were not.

I got a kick out of the hummingbirds that ate at my friend’s house. She has hummingbird feeders all around the deck. So anytime you go outside during the day in summer, there will probably be at least 5 hummingbirds buzzing around.

They will often buzz up a couple of feet in front of you to give you dirty looks for standing so close to the feeders. And they impatiently wait in line when wasps are getting drink from their preferred spouts, cause they are smart enough to know that wasp venom is bad for them.
