yamamanamaThere is a gannet at the wildlife center. Well, two. One dead, one living. Both had fishhooks that threaded through their wing and back. The living one is approximately two and a half years old, we can tell by his dark brown plumage. Adults are white with black wing tips and yellowish on the head. And they have huge wingspans. Gannets are suliformes, which includes frigatebirds, boobies, gannets, cormorants, shags, and darters. Boobies are Pacific-only but the others can be found in all oceans. Not necessarily the same species in each ocean, but you know what I mean.
This is our gannet. His spinal column feels very firm. This guy dove under the surf twice while someone was trying to catch him and bring him to us.
The screech owl wasn't too happy. One of his/her (they have color phases: red and brown, but they're not indicative of sex) retinas was detached. They'll go after insects, and I guess the insects swarm around car headlights, or show up in car headlights, and get hit by cars.
I think the herring gull had some bone sticking out. It was either the gull or the swan, that I know.
Here are some random events:
I normally say the meals the animals get look good, but not today, because (a.) the greens looked terrible, and (b.) the herring gull had dog food and mice sauteed with fish viscera.
Itsy Bitsy grabbed the fire alarm at a petco with her tail, or so Nina said.
Someone drew a unicow on the whiteboard.
Here are some random facts:
Hamsters will jump if you've been handling a snake without gloves/with the same gloves you handled the snake with before handling them.
Baytril/Enrofloxacin is not used in humans because it causes hallucinations and tastes disgusting. Much like datura, I guess. I don't know how vivid baytril hallucinations are.
also:
I'm getting over a cold. Last week at this time, I had a sore throat, which was weird because I felt perfectly fine that day and the days before.
Midnight did feel eternal that day.
Hopefully, I'm completely over it by Friday. I think about a liter of snot came out of my nose this week. I don't even know how it fits in there.
Burning question: in the movie Die Hard, why is no one singing or dancing?
