When not pestering diners they're busy helping persecute the remaining fish, or attacking cute ducklings or our consuperordinals, ie rats and young rabbits.

I particularly like how in the video the little owl's initially hazy gaze came into sharp focus as soon as it saw and recognized you.<br /><br />That's a satisfyingly good scratch the Heron had, I bet. When it came to partial grooming my beloved late canary bird would start by arranting his tail feathers, then his breast feathers, then he'd vibrate his wings for a handful of seconds, and he'd finish the whole business by having a good scratch like the Heron. I never knew why he did that, but apparently it felt good to him.Tinúvielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794275230697959519noreply@blogger.com
