corinne tried creating a very special episode of Wall for river today but her reaction was kinda like using AI to drop some game of thrones nudity into a rerun of the brady bunch. very “this is not really why i watch and you’re maybe ruining it.”

Crows are magnificent creatures. What other animal do you know wakes up at the crack of dawn and screams into the void? Then their distant relatives 19 blocks away hear it and join the chorus. “I am awake!” “Bro, I am, too!” “Also me!” “Hey? Did you hear Phyllis is learning to fly?” Crazy. 🖤🐦‍⬛

We went to the Del Mar Fair yesterday (I am not playing your silly game and calling it the ‘San Diego County Fair’ because I’m a lifelong Del Martian) and there was a Mrs. Roper Romp. Yes. You read that right. And this guy and I hugged it out because LOOK AT HIM IN THOSE HEELS. Gurrrrrrl.

People trashing Biden and asking for MY governor and then trashing him, what’s going on. Politics is mental. I am fine with anyone who isn’t a felon and sexual assaulter. Silly me.

Look, I’m not saying everyone on NextDoor is a Mrs. Kravitz up in arms about everything, but when you start complaining about the OGs of SoCal, then I’ve got a problem with you. Coyotes deserve respect. Don’t leave your animals in a yard unattended. Do they take issue with sharks and pumas, too? 😡

Everything is grand! Let me try to corral 5 super feral cats into boxes to evacuate whilst also trying to pack all my most important possessions. This is fun. EVERYTHING IS FUN.

It was volunteer work but I loved it. A lot of wildlife loss though when I was in the care center, and it started to weigh on my soul. We don’t deserve animals; moreover, they don’t deserve to share a planet with human monsters.

Yay. Let me know how it goes. Depending on what part of the earth you’re in, you’ll get some tiny birds eating the unsalted whole peanuts. You can order them in a big bag from Amazon. Specifically for birds.

I think they’ll love it. It’s on my to-do list. The 6 juveniles I raised (I worked in wildlife rehab) here in my home were so smart, I’d give them human toddler puzzles and toys. They’d figure them out within seconds and toss them like NEXT! Can’t speak highly enough about them and ravens.

You feed during the day. And only a small amount. Also not every day. You don’t want any animal to rely on you as being a primary food source, just an occasional treat station. If I put too much food out, the raccoons and opossums come, too. This time of year it’s helpful for nursing mums.

They do it the next morning because the raccoons come and clean their paws in it and then the water is dirty. So, they’ll tilt it over and throw the bowl like, “Hey, red haired biped! There’s NO CLEAN WATER!” I need to get them one of those solar fountains.

Maybe you’re 9 crows? Who’s to say? This as they’re gathered in my yard eating unsalted peanuts and tossing their now empty water bowl around. They squawk. But they bring gifts. Therefore crow > penguin. Who doesn’t like gifts? 🖤🐦‍⬛

This entire thread is fantastic. I’m still chuckling. I think I’m maybe 8 cockatoos? Which, by the way, are little thieves. Be careful when you’re in Australia, that’s all I’m saying.

Yes! They love unshelled unsalted peanuts. I used to do wildlife rehab and was on the crow team. I had 6 juveniles at once in my house. Hysterical and so smart.

They’re very easily befriended. Unsalted whole peanuts, or dry dog/cat food. Anything high in protein. Fresh water. They bring you presents. I was given a beautiful rock the other day. They left it by their water bowl and were absolutely offended that I didn’t take it! I went back out and got it.

A man stopped us on the beach tonight going, “WHAT IS THIS?!” He was freaking out thinking it was some weird sea creature. Me: “Bro, it’s a sandbag,” and I kicked it with my flip flop. 4 seconds later I kicked a renegade volleyball back into the court. What I’m saying is I’m a Del Martian 💯

This is normal crow behavior. They are fans of the sunbathe routine. And it helps rid them of parasites. Leave them alone, please.

Who is afraid of birds?! They eat spiders. You want fear? Wake up at 2 a.m. to use the restroom and when you get up there is a spider IN YOUR BED. Just chilling. That is fear. 😰
