    A reminder to take a moment and add us on your other favorite platforms! Here's a short list but there's more links in my bio as well. I'm super sad about what is happening with Twitter right now, for all its faults its been an amazing way to connect with different communities.

    A very round baby falcon discovers carpet for the first time: She fluttered there (to her surprise) and her feet touching the new surface made her both try to do the bath dance in it and to kill it with grabbyfeet. #falconry #americankestrel #babybirds

    In case anyone thinks borzoi are dogs and not unicorn princess noodles: Cyrano came limping, crying into the room favoring one paw. When I ran to check the source of his agony, he had a small banana label sticker stuck to one foot.

    He knows he's not supposed to stand on the counter unless invited, so he has taken to sitting on the barstools to watch me cook. But sitting nicely is a lot of work, so it turns into slouching, then being a comfy pancake on the barstool instead. #babyvulture

    This emu has taken over the duck coop and is now diligently siting on goose eggs. I just watched a chicken run in, burrow under him, lay an egg, and leave.

    Sometimes, when the snow is deep, the ducks will give up on walking and scoot around on the snow like penguins

    I can't weed and wash the bricks because emus show up and flop down as soon as they see the hose. They love being watered.

    It's that time of year again, for 'Emus on Ice'.

    We can't have him inside while we extract honey, so he's had to stay in the sun porch a few nights. Whenever I go back into the house he tries to follow, then sits peeking in the doorway window, like "Excuse me, you forgot your vulture." I feel like such a monster

    Have you heard of the honey buzzard? If you haven't, you are in for a treat! These raptors specialize in raiding wasp & bee nests, eating honey, larvae, and pollen. Their head feathers have developed into hard, armor-like scales to protect them from stings. #birdtwitter
