I was reading one story before of a person out looking for owls and there were dozens of them along the side of the road, and they weren't able to see them, but they said the hooting was just going all up and down the road. That would have been something to hear!
Ok, I know some country folks, and I can picture trying to deposit a chicken or maybe even a cow. But what on earth possessed this person to think an owl had financial value lol?
Since the runway Superb Owl competition, I've read everything I can on our fabulous Flammulated friendos and have even played one in an RPG since. Little bark ninjas 🤩
With a year's worth more awareness of him may be able to get him into the finals this year. He ran a good game against the famous Snowy for an owl nobody knew about beforehand.
Ooo they do have some nice stuff. The Art Deco Owl Necklace looks pretty nice IMO.
I typically will cut out the parts about donations when I make posts, because I don't want it to come across as me trying to shake you guys down for cash or guilt anybody into doing something. I'm here mainly to bring you a smile and some educational stuff. I'll occasionally throw it out there that none of these places that do animal rescue receives public money, which is a shame since so many things that hurt animals do receive your tax money...but I digress.
I also don't want to plug one rescue over another. There is one likely not too far from where you are, and I'll always encourage you to support your local animals. The smaller the facility, the less resources they'll have available, so they all need our support. For the Owl of the Year, I made a donation in c/Superbowl's name, and the winner, White Faced Scops, to my local owl rehabber. I've been to their open house twice and they look to do a very good job, not just with owls, but all types of local wildlife.
Most of these places will have online stores with merch or Amazon wishlists you can send them stuff, and of course with cash they can buy whatever it is they need. Most of it will be cleaning supplies, paper towel, bedding, etc. Follow a few of my links to the sources and you can see. Maybe I can work on a list of non-Facebook links as well since I know many Lemmings have a strong aversion to it.
This is another thing that I always look for your feedback to. If you guys want donation links or for me to see what rescues are in your area, don't be afraid to let me know. I'm here to do what is useful and fun for you guys.
Spotting spiders at night is really quite easy. Go outside after dark. Turn on the flashlight and hold it at the side of your head, even with your eye. You want the beam to be shining at the spot where you are looking, and you want the source of the light to be as close to your eye as possible. Then look slowly around your yard, paying close attention to grass, flower beds, etc.
If you look carefully, you should see some bright pinpoints of light. Examine these carefully. Some of them will probably be drops of water clinging to the plants, but many of them will turn out to be the eyes of spiders. Depending on where you live, the weather, and how carefully you look, you may see a few spiders, or you may see hundreds of them. It is amazing how many spiders there are out there.
Kind of a tangent, but I saw this, and thought, "oh I should send this to anon6789 somehow or post it on superbowl..." Then I looked at where this was and who posted it lmao! Very interesting story, I'm glad the owl was able to be rescued.
I saw it a few days ago, and I save things I think will get more attention for the weekends, and I was so nervous someone would beat me to sharing this one!
If any of you ever see anything interesting though, feel free to share it here or send me a link. I don't have the exclusive rights to owl stories or anything. I'm always curious to see what things you guys find interesting as well.
Yes, it has been hiding in plain sight for months.
I kept wondering if I had posted this pic before, but it looks to be the one I used as my profile pic for the last few months. It's nice to know who took the picture now.
Exactly, we can see it cause the image is a close up and we're looking for it (the owl). Would be neat to try and look at wider-scale pictures to play "Spot the Owl" lol!
I wasn't able to find any conclusive on if it is legal to possess an owl in South Africa, but if I were to wager, I'd say this guy was probably not supposed to have it to begin with. In that case, if he just left without being fined or arrested, then he indeed came out ahead of where he started. The man and owl are not both likely in better positions than they were.
The bankers were probably able to distract him with some free pens or other bank branded novelties, so he may have gotten something tangible of some monetary value for his time and effort.
