There have been mourning doves outside my house every morning and my favorite thing is when they notice you and enter alert mode.

cannibalism as a metaphor this, cannibalism as a metaphor that, but what about disease as a metaphor obsession. infection as a metaphor for infatuation. i’ll get inside your body and under your skin and change every cell in your body. i will invade you from the inside out. make myself at home in there until we are nothing but a virus and it’s host

every single day I think about how american black vultures are known for engaging in interspecific allopreening (preening between different species)
and they have a specific relationship with crested caracaras, in which the black vultures assist them by not only preening them after meals but also leading them to food in the first place— due to their superior sense of smell— while the caracaras assist the black vultures by acting as a warning signal in case of danger
and while this is more typical of black vultures, this is not common at all for any member of the falconidae family— it’s a special bond!

yet another post in favor of vultures everyone , hope you enjoy:) and I implore you to do some more research on these incredible birds !!
EDIT: I meant interspecific allopreening! excuse my typo!

Can we appreciate crows for a moment? They're basically like monkeys with feathers, we should talk about them more.
(Aka: A highly indulgent list of crow facts!)
🐦‍⬛ Crows live in colonies of 15-20 birds (called murders). That doesn't mean they're not menaces to society. For example; they frequently steal from their neighbours nests.
🪶 They're also quite prone to love triangles, since they mate for life. However, they do not fight often. There are quite a few cases of possible polyamorous relationships among these birds: they share nests and all help feed the little chicks.
🐦‍⬛ Speaking of little crows, even when they reach the age where they have to leave the nest and can feed themselves, they still persecute and annoy their parents to feed them. They can also "play sick" as a joke.
🪶 Crows usually eat vegetables, fruits or nuts as their main diet, but these rascals can actually eat whatever it is that falls into their beaks. There's a documented case where one feathery menace chugged A WHOLE PAIN POT.
🐦‍⬛ While the community of crows eats, one or two crows sit on a tree and observe around 800 metres (2,624ft) of area in order to inform their team of possible danger.
🪶 Crow communities defend each other against predators and mourn their losses together.
🐦‍⬛ They can fly at a speed of 60km/h (37 mph)
🪶 They live up to 25 years in nature.
🐦‍⬛ They can literally knock out their prey by hitting them with their beaks.
🪶 They're also very playful creatures! They can play hide and seek, where a crow hides and calls their community for help repeatedly until they're found.
🐦‍⬛ Naturalist Henry Ward Beecher documented a woman with a domesticated crow who cleaned worms before eating them.
🪶 Crows know how to talk. They can repeat almost 100 words or phrases.
🐦‍⬛ Some crows that live in rural American states have been documented to use cattle to rest themselves on them and potentially use them as transport. They were also said to shout "Yee haw" when they rode horses. They implement this kind of transport into hunting as well.
🪶 They can also imitate sounds like barks, tweets of other birds, or whatever it is that a chicken does.
🐦‍⬛ Naturalist William Crowder had a crow that got into the habit of playing with MATCHES in the KITCHEN.
🪶 Another crow was said to be able to PICK POCKET PEOPLE and when he didn't find anything he shouted "GO TO HELL!" and fleed.

🐦‍⬛ ^ this is a caramel crow. No it's not albino. It looks very sick though (and not in the literal sense)
Now I kinda want to have one as my familiar tbh.

Munin Guarding Her Pizza Box
Tumblr media
We stopped for pizza, and Munin was more interested in the box than the pizza. We tried to distract her from the box by giving her pizza, but she wasn't hungry, so we gave up and just let her have the box.
(Munin is my African raven.)
