6 month old red fox at rescue that was introduced to 3 fox kits (all 3 orphaned from different foxes). Older fox basically adopted the kits and rescue is hoping older fox will be healthy enough to be released with kits when time comes. They're such a cute family. 😍
Good News: The bird feeders are attracting a ton of birds, including new birds I haven't seen yet. Including a huge friggin blue bird (I'm pretty sure it was a Blue Jay)
Bad News: I was too fascinated by my new blue friend that I didn't snap a pic
I'm relatively confident that they will return. Now we just play The Waiting Game...
EDIT: Although now I feel like I need to find a way to feed them. That birb was a LOT bigger than the little fellas I usually get. The birb feeders I have aren't designed for big bois...

No idea if they’re similar, but our net of unpeeled peanuts seems to wonders in attracting the eurasian jays. I think there are currently 2 that visit us regularly, and they’re the only ones that go for the peanuts specifically.
Though we also don’t have squirrels, so I’m not sure if that’s an option for you.

I was going to say I had the squirrel menace finally dealt with but...
EDIT: Good news, my anti-squirrel barbed wire might actually still work. Right now it's just sitting in the window and I thought it still was. The little bastards knocked it down but I have the outdoor tape to actually secure it to the window. I just wanted to be sure it actually worked first, which it has/had been until it was knocked down...
Chickadee Seed in the window hanger for...well...chickadees and little birds
Golden Saffron in the hanger for small to medium sized birds. The golden finches seem to really love that stuff
The Suet for pecking birds (so the base is hard peanut butter or something like that and then a ton of seeds and whatnot embedded in the brick). Usually the woodpeckers.
Grape Jelly (new feeder) as evidently Orioles LOOOOOOVE Grape Jelly.
Cardinal Mix (so mostly seeded stuff like Sunflower seeds and nuts) for the bigger birds. Not a lot seem to go after it but it does drop in seed levels so someone's eating it. I've seen the woodpeckers at it and some of the medium birds go after it. The Cardinal seems to like that stuff, though I haven't seen him in a while :(
Hummingbird Feeder with colored sugar water now hangs on a window hanger as well
I'm breaking my self-imposed comments break to celebrate this thread having hit 1030 comments. I wanted to celebrate at 1k but then I forgor 💀
Anyway yeah thank you for saving me when I was having a crisis over blackface bubba and I'm returning to my silence until the 7th anniversary stream arrives (because I've got a happy little plan in store)
I don’t think they’ll let me 😭. They had actual caretakers for the smaller passerines and turkeys.
the positions they did have only involved the larger animals, though that did in turn mean I would get to interact with the peacocks, goats, larger chickens and alpacas.
which is still an absolute win, all things considered.
I had initially assumed it was an Oriole since that's an Oriole feeder (an orange slice and grape jelly in the bowl) but it didn't look like any Oriole I could find
According to The Google, that is a Gray Catbird. It's still super skittish so that's unfortunately the best picture I've been able to get so far.
Why do none of the cats want to stay in the cat area with Tippy!?!? 😭
Edit: Well...crap. Sandi has figured out she can jump from the floor over the barrier and used this newfound ability a bunch. I've had to chase her down 6 times now...
Completely forgot to update yall about my translating endeavours
basically, that lady I mentioned a few months ago was all well ‘n good, but her course was ultimately not officially recognised, which would mean less opportunities on the eventual job market. Not to mention that the flattery she opened with sounds more and more like a sales pitch, the more I read it.
So instead I’ve decided that I’ll be following an officially credited program, which includes an internship at the end. It’s twice as expensive, but I also won’t have to deal with finding accommodation and/or public transport, since I only need to be on campus for 8 Saturdays every year.

Truth be told, most of it was added onto it by us. Basically everything that isn’t green wasn’t part of the original structure.
Queens on their throne
pov: you are a small berry
Vet guesstimate for when my kitties were born was May 3, 2022 so going with that they just celebrated their first birthday. 😁
Darryl is yawning in first pic, he just woke up from nap behind chair cover.
Happy belated guesstimated birthday to them 🥳
I was gonna make my cats birthday be on their adoption dates but I don't remember when that actually was :D
I could look it up easy enough but I feel like I'm going to have that problem every year...
If there was no estimated date I would've gone with adoption day. Probably give them special treats on adoption date too to celebrate.
It helps their birthday is in May. Kazis birthday is in May and my last cat's birthday was in May too.
It’s seal Saturday y’all!
IYKYK
It’s a sad day for the forums. Hopefully it gets all resolved.
Sends wrong message and is a bummer it happened. 😔

That was quick lol

By the power of our friendships combined, and some magic from the Cows, my love has been restored once more 💖
...yall didn't think that was enough to keep me down, did you?
Yay! Welcome! And great contribution, I love quokkas
(Though… to be fair.. there aren’t many animals that I don’t love?)
Good news bad news fam

Another Seal Saturday 🦭❄️
Went to the petting zoo today
(with the intention of checking it out for possible volunteering jobs)
PET all the birbs
I don’t think they’ll let me 😭. They had actual caretakers for the smaller passerines and turkeys.

Darryl and Dante snuggling in my lap last night.
Big one is a southern koala, small one is northern koala.
Both ones look soft and cuddly 🐨
They look super snuggly... Although big ones nails look kinda scary, would not want to make it angry. 😂
Today is Kazi's 10th bday. The bestest girl got spoiled with tasty food and treats to celebrate.
Omg we nearly share birthdays ✨
Happy almost/belated(?) birthday! 😁
No it is my bday today don't worry
