Is peace an option here?

I have a raven friend at work. He won’t yet sit on my arm or let me pet him, but I can feed him by hand and pass him objects that he will momentarily play with. This is my buddy, Brandon

A bird thread without potoos????

I am shocked!!

And pretty put off. How could someone ignore such a majestic bird!!

Did I mention that I was shocked?!

Just look alone at this chick. It speaks so true to my heart. Especially when I read about the newest adventures from Planet Lolcow.

Tropical birds are my favorite:

At some point in time, I would like to get a nice piece of land out in the country, and have a little homestead, with chickens, guineafowl, pheasants, and turkeys.

There are so many of them, it's nerve-wracking to be around their feeders.

Birds are useful for keeping your teeth clean.

I dunno why specifically I adore California Condors but I do. They're like.. majestic bald beauties. I just think they're neat birds!

A juvenile owl that we almost ran over coming home one night, after a windstorm. Didn't see it until the last second, thought it was some leaves. Managed to straddle it with the wife's Mini, but seen it tumble in the rearview & lay still.

We live in the middle of nowhere, and it was about a mile from the house, so I stopped to check on the bird. It was still alive, stunned, but not visibly hurt. However, it didn't move, and we heard a truck approaching (fucknuckles around here aim for animals in the road), so I scooped it into the new cat carrier we had just bought.

At home, it showed no lack of appetite, devouring the raw chicken my wife gave it (seen here guarding the bowl, wouldn't let me near, I had to use tongs).
The next day it seemed fine, and I spotted the nest it came from, so that night we released it. The owl walked out of the cage and had no problem flying straight to it's home. It was still around when we moved a year later.

Never found out what kind it was, we just call 'em wood owls.
