Zeus, Wildlife Learning Center’s beloved blind Western screech owl, has passed away. Found 15 years ago, he inspired many with his gentle nature and starry eyes. Despite a recent inoperable tumor, he lived a long, loved life. RIP Zeus. ❤️🦉✨ 🖍🤖

from Bun Alert System (!bun_alert_system@lemmy.sdf.org)

I think she likes it here because we don't seed grass, so there's lots of clover for her to munch on. I'm not sure where she sleeps, but some days she sits in the same spot all day.

She still runs from the kids sometimes, but I can walk just a few feet away from her and she'll just watch.

from birding (!birding@lemmy.world)

Worked the bird rescue solo—nonstop feeding 25-30 birds! Tiny ones ate endlessly. Cowbird was voracious; bluejay was my favorite. Baby crow felt like a dinosaur. Grackles, robins, wrens—so loud! Fed 7 robins in a row; they napped, then ate again. Bird moms are busy! 🖍🤖

Corvids’ eyes have incredibly sharp resolution that allows them to navigate while flying at high speeds and to find potential sources of food. Unfortunately, we do not know how their smell compares to a lot of other animals, because there are not enough studies on corvids’ sense of smell yet.

You might accidentally be killing hummingbirds

In the wild, hummingbirds, the smallest birds in the world, get their sugar from wildflowers, such as honeysuckle, lilies, and bee balm. Often red and plastic and filled with sugar water, hummingbird feeders provide a supplementary source of nectar for hummingbirds, especially during fall and spring migration when the birds are traveling long distances. “If you wouldn’t leave your drink sitting out in the sun for three days and then drink it, don’t do it for hummingbirds,” Furr said. Having a clean feeder can provide an additional food resource that can be important.”Level up your hummingbird supportDon’t want to bother with cleaning? The National Audubon Society has a tool that tells you what to plant in your region to attract hummingbirds. 🖊️️🤖
