We have a sora. If you're asking "what the hell's a sora?" and I know I was, Jen described it this way: you take a great blue heron and hit it with a shrink ray and then you give it giant green clown feet. I don't know if Jack's ever going to post a picture of it but for now, you can use your imagination. In fact, please use your imagination before going to Wikipedia.

We also have a yellow-rumped warbler. They look like songbirds with a bright highlighter yellow splotch on their butt and sometimes on their chest and throat.

In med ward, we have a juvenile swan, a red tailed hawk, two geese, and some rodos or modos. Outdoors, we had yet another herring gull, we chased it around to see how well it could fly and Emily dumped out last night's dinner, which, judging by its appearance and by its smell, had already started to ferment. There were some bits of various rodents strewn about, and there was a compost container outside. Later that day, they took him to the beach to fly away into the wild. The hybrid duck is outside. To me, it looks like a mallard with a palette swap: the body is tan and sepia and the head is a vaguely greenish dark brown. We think it's a mallard x domestic duck because mallards will fuck just about anything, but it could very well be a black duck x some other kind of duck. I think it's male, going by the coloration.
Primrose says she's going to put padding above the duck cage's door. It will still hurt when you bonk your head on it, it just won't hurt as much.

In boarding, there was an adorable lop-eared bunny.

Emily looks a bit like Katherine, although her eyes are dark brown instead of cloudy gray. She is tall and has Cyril Figgis glasses and dark hair in a bun that she says can get poofy or unruly, just like Katherine's. She has a short-haired black cat.
The Emily from spring and Taylor apparently showed up while I wasn't looking.
Emily was expecting live fish. No, they're quite dead, you can tell by the smell. Their eyes are starting to glaze over.
Fish, Sapir says, do not do well outside of water. She is emphatic about not finding bearded dragons scary and says that seagulls don't care about precise measurements.

The food everyone was eating smelled amazing, though. Except for Emily's turkey and greens sandwich, which didn't really smell like anything. But Primrose had sticky rice with bits of pork and soy sauce on it which was really potent and Sapir was eating sweet and sour chicken and lo mein.

burning question: why did it have to be seagulls?
