yamamanamaJess said the hook in the cormorant's esophagus was too close to its heart so we had to put it down. On the other hand, the painted turtle was released, there are only two squirrel cages left, the gull is going to be released.
Jess speaks French, along with a bit of German and Mandarin Chinese. I said that German, Dutch, Danish, all those things sound like what I imagine English sounds like to a non-speaker.
She has a cat named Tache, which is French for "spot," and also a cat named Morpheus, which is Greek for the one who shapes, and a cat named Spring, which is English for "spring", but whether it's English for "printemps" or "ressort" I know not.
We did dentistry on a chinchilla because the back teeth were blocking the tongue and he was drooling all over the place and that's really bad for chinchillas. Chinchillas can't get wet and have to take dust baths in fine volcanic dust, which falls off easily and strips the fur of impurities.
And the kestrel from midnight eternal came to get his leg looked at after four weeks. So what happened is since the kestrel was tethered down, the cooper's hawk wasn't able to ravish him away, but his leg broke.
Kaz sang the Following The Leader song when taking us down to show The Magic Button, which turns lights on and off. If you're short, you have to jump to hit it.
Sea turtle hatchlings in the Atlantic go to the Sargasso Sea, where they have plenty of seaweed to eat and protection from predators. They had to put tracking devices the size of rice grains on them to find this out, since, you know, the Atlantic Ocean is more than twice the size of Asia.
Other than that, it wasn't the most exciting day. I don't think I've forgotten anything, unlike the last entry, where I neglected to bring up Brody wielding a blowtorch and Nina wearing a pigtailed blonde wig and nobody could take her seriously while she was wearing it.
burning question: What languages do you encounter in your daily life?
