67 days until the vernal equinox.

To update you regarding the rabbit, there was soot inside his organs and apparently, when he went into the fire, all the gas in his intestines exploded and that's why they were inundated in poop.

We have a bat who likes chicken baby food more than he likes the beef variety.

We got our second dovekie in a week period, not the second dovekie this week as Nicole pointed out. This dovekie was thrown out of a car window in a Wal-Mart parking lot. The last one died, I don't know, probably because it's a bird that never comes to land except to mate and when they do end up on land it's because they're very fucked up. Dovekies eat tiny fish, in turn, everything eats dovekies. Seagulls, foxes, even larger fish, even people. The dish kiviaq, involves dovekies left to ferment inside a seal carcass and can aptly be described as a turducken from hell. The logic is this: dovekies only hang out in Greenland during the summer. In winter, food is scarce, it's dark, it's cold as hell, all the dovekies are down in New England or Newfoundland. If you're ever going to try this, say, if you lost a bet or have strange great sins to atone for, use dovekies and not eiders.
While we were trying in vain, pun not intended, to draw up blood from the dovekie, the ring-billed gull in the cage behind us started splashing around. Tyler's like "sir, do you mind?" because we're trying to be quiet. Anyway, Nicole drew up a tiny bit of blood and Jacob drew up a slightly larger amount of blood, and he bled for about seven minutes afterwards. If this was a raptor, I'd guess that rodenticide was involved.

Tyler said he was probably light-headed after bleeding out some and needed cookies and coke or something, I don't know; he was whispering.
He said he'd draw up some of his blood and say it was the dovekie's.
Everyone has to be force-fed piscivore diet at least once during their internship. new rule. It's salmon oil, which stinks apparently, mixed with piscivore diet powder.

"I don't know, I'm not a dovekie."
He called it a cute little flying penguin and told it to think of polar bears while it's here.

This is the dovekie. By the time I got home, the image was on Facebook.

Posting the right link helps, kupo.

String cheese makes a weird sound according to Devin.

The swan got a Hannah Montana towel and Nicole thought it depicted Lizzie McGuire. Not only are they not the same person, but they're in different periods. Uh, I think.

We have another squirrel someone tried to keep as a pet. Putting two adult squirrels in the same cage is tantamount to gladiatorial combat but at least we can socialize them by putting them in separate cages where they each have their own food and water and territory.

Earlier, we had to euthanize a skunk with neurological issues that could be from anything from rabies or distemper to a brain infection to an inner ear infection.

Elsewhere, there was a mountain lion with teeth coming out of his forehead, which is either a teratoma (in scientific terms, it's a possibly congenital tumor derived from embryonic germ cells and formed from a heterogenous mixture of tissues that tend to contain things like hair, teeth, bones) or the remnants of a conjoined twin. Tyler says his evil ghost twin made him attack the dog.
Mountain lions do not eat dovekies, mostly because they don't live in the same habitat.

There's a bit of blood in the picture.

Matt said he was born in a volcano because one of Eden's friends is somewhere in Chile exploring volcanoes. Sunny side up scares him because it might be undercooked and then he'll get salmonella and die.

Nicole's finishing up her stint at the wildlife center and she wonders how people will remember her after she's gone. Tyler says he'll always think of her as the girl who killed a hawk and a dovekie.
I'm unsure of the circumstances of the hawk. The dovekie didn't die, and if it does die, it will probably have very little to do with Nicole and everything to do with the fact that it's a dovekie.

Emily, Eden, and Matt were looking at a chicken who might have had a disease that gave him cancer.

burning question: How did a dovekie get in someone's car in the first place?
