Jk... cabs here!
It does not matter if you know me or not, tortoise people talk about and photograph poop. Now maybe talking about my poop might be too personal, (not), but chelonia poop is perfectly acceptable...and that was not enuf poop to be acceptable. So Monday I'm picking up medication for constipation in tortoises...ta da!I’m gonna have to start telling my patients to eat iceberg lettuce when they come in complaining about constipation. I am so happy to hear that he’s doing better. I’m so happy I won’t have to keep asking you about poop either. I don’t know you and it’s kind of strange keep asking how’s the ? poop doing even though I do it all day long in the office.

Wow it’s been busy in here. That’s awesome
We have and still are up on lake Greason in Arkansas. Headed home later today..
Maybe there will be some bird catching done by then. Hope someone saved me some bday cupcake too...
And I’m sure glad to see even a little drop or tortoise poop... it’s most always a sh1tty situation ...
In the case of armadillos vs leprocy, our CDC says that In The southern states, this happens!!
Good morning all!
?Possibly motion activated?Speaking of Trail Cams & taking wildlife pix, can anyone recommend a good (cheapish) TrailCam? I just watched a Cow n Calf moose video taken in Canada & I’m thinking i need to set up a back garden TrailCam to catch foxes, deer & mice and men at play.
I see Bushnell has a few... https://www.bushnell.com/trail-cameras/core/core-low-glow-trail-camera/PB-119936C.html
Thoughts? @EllieMay @JoesMum ?
I have several...honestly, all the newer made camera are nice now... even the cheap “wild game” from Walmart... I think I may have shared some fox and bobcat videos from that one at some point?? I think my favorite is made by Moultree.. D55 ... we use a lot of those and the pics are very clear and the color is good.. even at night.. mine are several years old now though so there’s probably better for cheaper...;-)Speaking of Trail Cams & taking wildlife pix, can anyone recommend a good (cheapish) TrailCam?

Sounds like a good idea if you’re not as strong on bird ID as I am.The darn squirrels here attack & gobble up all our peanuts, luckily they play well.
@JoesMum - have you seen the new AI enabled BIRDSYTV wifi enabled bird cams? They actually help with the ID of your bird visitors.

Yes sir, thank you very very much!Welding was a good choice for me when I was 19, I also went to a trade school to learn how to weld, burn, carbon arc welding and reading welders blueprints. I was State certified in multiple types of welding and burning, worked in Shipyards, on Bridges, Welded on high pressure steam pipe underground. I retired from the Port of Baltimore, working in the Crane Maintenance Department and Fab shop, climbing hundreds of feet in the air. Was not afraid to climb, my nick name was Monkey Man, welding can be a hard job to deal with because of working in different climates and weather. Welding is a dying trade because most young people want a set down job. Welding is a good trade, and if you apply yourself, you can make a good and honest living. Good luck on the choice you make. Don't be afraid of a little hard work.
They’re brought to the rescue from all over Kent and Sussex counties ... they fell out of nests, got caught by cats, were in a nest in a tree that got cut back... all sorts.Wow that sounded like a amazing trip. Where do the birds come from?
My thoughts... spend as much as you can afford. Especially if you want night shots.Speaking of Trail Cams & taking wildlife pix, can anyone recommend a good (cheapish) TrailCam?

At first I thought the little birds taking up residence in my bird house were sparrows. I have loads of them. Here they're considered a nuisance because they try to drive all the other birds off. The beak and tail is why I think the little family were wrens. It was a fight to the finish. The wrens won.They’re brought to the rescue from all over Kent and Sussex counties ... they fell out of nests, got caught by cats, were in a nest in a tree that got cut back... all sorts.
We try to release them back where they came from if it is safe. However, we have so many at this time of year the rescue prefers the, to go to gardens known to be safer, where there are feeders and where that species already lives.
There are some birds I would take because they’re not common in my garden. Starlings, I get loads... House Sparrows only one or two.
The woodpeckers we released that day were dependent on our feeders for the first day and then gradually started to find their feet and come back less frequentl. We still see them from time to time, but they’re already much less happy to see people which is good
That’s a lot of $$ you can feel good about!!Good evenooning all.
Sorry for my absence. I have been kind of busy.
I made a few masks and sold them in aid of the rescue where I volunteer. That’s mushroomed and last week I made 40. I have raised over £350!
Daughter moved back to her flat the weekend before last. Yesterday her paramedic flat mate got sent home from work with a temperature. They both had to isolate and get a covid test. Luckily the results were both quick and negative. They found out about an hour ago.
Son moved back to his flat in North London last Saturday. His flat mate, who has been in lockdown with his parents on the Welsh borders, was supposed to be joining him. However, flat mate has been told that he will be furloughed until the end of September so I anticipate son returning here for company at some stage.
It got very hot (by UK standards) last week. Temperatures rocketed to around 90F and it was very humid. We finished the week with big thunderstorms. The weather is back to normal now... cool, breezy and random showers.
The rescue was quiet last Friday and we got loads done. Today it was manic. So many baby birds and all very young and needy. The smallest was this sparrow needing 15 minute feeds. Can you see the yellow lump on its neck? That’s food being swallowed. We look for that as reassurance that the hatchling hasn got a blocked airway.
