Re: The Nature Photography Thread
aww thats such a cute bird, i was biking out of my driveway onetime and i looked to the side and saw two giant eyes and i jumped off my bike because i didnt know what it was and it scared me, turned out it was a baby owl, i warmed her up and took her to the nearest rescue animal shelter, they fed her gatorade and put her on a heating pad, by morning she was fine, i visited her many times before she was released

That's interesting, I never knew that. Even with my vet tech training I don't remember ever hearing about that enzyme...cool, learn something new everyday!

Re: The Nature Photography Thread
Learned it from a wildlife rehabber after I had a baby bird die on me... he had been eating like a monster and then still died, with a full crop. Live and learn, and leave the wildlife rehabbing to the experts!!!

He's still got his little egg tooth on the tip of his beak. :-) When I put him down, he started following me instead of going back to his momma!! Had to usher him back home. :-)
