For all your owl related needs!

  • I feel silly about how long it to me to recognize Barred, Tawny, and Ural were all so closely related. Maybe it was the large gaps in time between when I learned about them all they just felt more distinct. Also, the Barred is here in North America, and we don't have the Tawny or Ural, so they feel more "exciting" despite being rather similar. That also made some of my first exposure to Tawnies children's media, and the majority of Ural pictures I see make them look like chill stoners, so I have to constantly remind myself Tawnies and Urals are just as viciously territorial as Barreds. Brains are weird.

  • I wonder what caused their falling out ... 🤔

  • And it's coiled up like a spring!

  • I don't know how someone couldn't just fall in love with that face!

  • They know they aren't guaranteed dinner every night, so when they nab a little extra, into the pantry it goes!

    Calories are life!

  • Someone had to be the most badass after the dinosaurs threw in the towel to some space rock.

  • I'm glad you enjoyed it!

  • You guys are the best audience! 😊

  • I also recommend this particular community! 😇

  • Lol, you are correct, I just rewatched it. He was debating with Jerry at the dinner about turning it into a "real charity" which quickly devolved into people showering him with praise in order show worthiness of his "generosity" (jeez, this is sounding like how I imagine the Board of Peace will operate...). When Kruger calls him in, he still chickens out and gives the money back unprompted and plays the victim of religious persecution for his father's celebrating of Festivus instead of Christmas.

    I don't know if George would have went through with it, because his cowardice, paranoia, and desire to not actually do anything likely would have won out, so I still think he's less evil as he at least somewhat confesses to being a fraud and he returns the money without a fuss, which doesn't seem like the behavior of a FIFA Peace Prize winner.

  • At least The Human Fund didn't actually have George stealing from anyone, it was just him being a jerk. When Mr. Kruger gave him that big check he at least somewhat came clean it was fake. The president taking tax money for his League of Villians is just outright theft like if George would have cashed the check and called the accountant a liar.

  • Yes, but it has been accepted as your contribution to the Board of Peace. Thank you for your donation.

  • And rightly so! They don't know what we're doing to them and we're touching them in ways not even their mate ever would. To their owly brains we're up to total no good. That's why an angry owl is usually a good sign. They got enough health and energy to be that upset. As much as I'd love to boop the little guys all day, in reality I'd rather have them all want to tear me to shreds! 😄

  • I had to include its photo when I saw it. It doesn't look so fancy in every photo, more like the second cricket there, but I felt it showing off its full glory would make it interesting for you all.

    There are so many animals, large and small, that we will never get to appreciate, so I love sharing them with you when I learn about them myself.

  • I agree. Poison is cruel enough even if it just goes to the intended target. Glue traps are almost as horrible with suffering and by-catch. Live catch traps need to be checked way more often than people realize due to the high rate of rodent metabolism, otherwise those cause cruel death as well. Snap traps aren't foolproof, but are the best humane option one has if they are determined to kill a mouse. Ultimately, finding the source of ingress and sealing it is best for all parties involved.

    There's been a user on another community that kept talking about buying bait stations and I've had to bite my tongue a number of times now. Other communities aren't my place to go moralizing to people, but if you're reading articles here, that's fair game.

  • That's what it wants you to think!

    Those are its ocelli, the false eyes on the back of its head!
