The Everything Animal Thread

My daughter had gifted to me, one of those bird feeders with the built in camera, for Christmas. I finally set it up. I tried it out on the table first, so that I could see how it works. It's pretty cool. It didn't take long for mama raccoon to find it lol.

 
I am on a local app and someone said yesterday she keeps getting badgers trying to raid the bird food she keeps outside. She put 6 bricks on top of the storage box to try and deter them and they pushed them off.

I saw on Facebook that in the woods near me they saw a ginger badger on camera. I didn't know they existed.
 
I had to send that video to my daughter. Her dragon, Bosco, is so cute. 🥰 This is her third rescue...the first two were sick when she rescued them and even with vet care, only survived a few months. This guy is doing well...she's had him almost 18 months I think.

my sister has one of those and it was a lot of fun, but she had to give it up because of the squirrels. her bird feeders are squirrel proof but not the bird buddy.
You can research how to make your bird buddy raccoon proof but it might be an investment

I saved a baby ringed neck snake from the lobby at our library yesterday. It was the cutest thing I've ever seen. I wasn't able to get a picture but it was exactly like this including size, photo from the Internet.

@shyvas I know lots of people here (in the United States) don't like pigeons- but they were brought here by humans, and seem to stay in the city instead of competing with native birds generally. The family of one of my uncles kept pigeons, and a girl in my high school class did too. She said a pigeon couldn't be trusted not to harm squabs that weren't her own offspring, which is sad if it's true.
 
Pigeons have been trained for search and rescue, primarily in maritime situations, due to their exceptional eyesight and pattern recognition abilities. In the 1970s and 80s, the U.S. Coast Guard successfully trained pigeons to spot orange life jackets at sea, achieving a higher success rate than human observers.​
