INTENSE BIRDFEEDING (baby bird nursery volunteering, no animal death or trauma) 

fortunately, even full-grown juncos can fit easily in one hand, and robins aren't much bigger, so being attacked by them--especially as nestlings/fledglings--is more amusing than alarming, despite the occasional twitch of startlement. apropos, today I have been bitten by many juncos, a couple of robins, and a white-crowned sparrow. (3/?)

INTENSE BIRDFEEDING (baby bird nursery volunteering, no animal death or trauma) 

despite crows and jays being almost always enthusiastic eaters, the birds most likely to physically attack me for food are American robins and black-eyed juncos. we do tend to have more robins and juncos than other small birds generally, and there has been the occasional aggressive sparrow or bushtit, but robins in particular like to jump out of their enclosures and try to mug me for mealworms.

INTENSE BIRDFEEDING (baby bird nursery volunteering, no animal death or trauma) 

usually on my shift we have three volunteers and an intern, and not a lot of birds to feed, so we tend to get done with all the daily chores before we're halfway through the shift. today, we had--two volunteers! (nope, no intern!) it's a good thing we still didn't have a lot of birds to feed, but even so they kept us hopping, and we didn't manage to get through the entire day's chore list. (1/?)

Remember Rep. Jason Spencer, the GA state legislator who screamed "n----r" and dropped his pants on tape for Sacha Baron Cohen, then insisted he wouldn't resign?

He's resigning.

Trump's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was destroyed by a man with a pickax this morning. That man's name is Austin Clay, and he is being held in jail "on suspicion of felony vandalism." His bail is $20,000.

If anyone knows of a way to donate to help him make bail, please share it! ♥️

no it isn't okay if you brighten my day with some cut and pasted hackneyed Hallmark poetry (Weird Al, "Stop Forwarding That Crap To Me") youtube.com/watch?v=KCSA7kKNu2
