around what age do piges usually start displaying mating/courting behavior?

Some start as early as 3-4 months, but they aren’t sexually mature until 6 months.

Even then, though, behavioral sexual expression is *really* diverse among pigeons.

My little COF boy started displaying at about 1-½, 2 months? As soon as he stopped making squeaky noises he started doing the bow-coo and warbling at me. He’s always been super expressive though.

Graham (voorburg hen) just turned 2 months and is already wackooing, tail dragging, and presenting to various objects.

I thought that person was asking about pigs.

Confusion.

DO. NOT. STORE. YOUR. VALUABLES. IN. THE. DISHWASHER

sorry for the non-art post but as hurricane Florence continues slowly through the Carolinas, a hoax that started circulating in 2017 is making rounds again and I’ve already seen it on tumblr even though appliance experts and flooding victims advice NOT to store your important items inside a dishwasher

people spreading this misinformation are prefacing it with ‘’my cousin/aunt/whatever who survived hurricane Katrina said…” so it sounds like sincere advice from a trusted person who actually tried it, and I don’t get WHY they feel the need to lie about something so simple when it could endanger people

A dishwasher isn’t waterproof. It is not designed to keep flooding water OUT.

Dishwashers can also get loose under hurricane winds and end up somewhere outside the house.

People WILL lose their most priced stuff because of this!!

please reblog and tell your friends!!

IMPORTANT WARNING

If you don’t watch the news like me then you missed the breaking news so I figured I’d post it here for all my fellow Australians: if you’re in NSW VIC or QLD and have bought strawberries from woolworths this past week then CHUCK THEM OUT they found sewing needles in multiple of them.

VERY IMPORTANT UPDATE

On the news of the strawberry epidemic 6 brands have been named for containing dangerous materials and being contaminated, if you have purchase from the following and don’t want to chuck them out then PLEASE wash them and cut them up!

Donnybrook berries

Berry obsession

Berry licious

Love Berry

Delightful strawberry

Oasis

They currently think that some of them have been copycat cases. Stay safe xo

I’m glad you posted this op because I don’t watch the news but that’s where I live and I don’t want anyone getting sick or hurt.

Please take care everyone.

I don’t even live anywhere near Australia but I don’t want anyone getting injures in some way! Be careful!!

Probably one of the weirder questions you’ll get. But what do you think dog chews, like pig ear, taste like? As someone with pica and weird intrusive thoughts, usually my first thought is “I need to put that chew in my mouth” when I see one but I know better than to try it.

Weirder questions? No, not even close my friend.

I do actually know nurses who have sampled the dog or cat treats. The less juicy meats ones, anyway. And the general consensus seems to be that firstly, they usually taste how they smell, and secondly that if you are going to eat a pet treat, see if anyone will pay you to do it ‘on a dare’.

Apparently the blueberry greenies are alright? But I can’t confirm that for myself. There are a bunch that are perfectly edible for humans, even if they’re not aimed for out palates.

I have to say, I love how Anon assumed this would be ‘one of the weirder questions’ yet the comments are full of dog and cat treats that other people have already eaten, and their thoughts on the taste.

I mean, I doubt most of them would hurt somebody to eat. They probably mostly aren’t human-grade, but unless something’s seriously wrong with your immune system, one bite should be fine. There’s worse things to taste.

Two-headed alligator spotted in Tampa, Florida along the Hillsborough River in the Seminole Heights neighborhood. According to Florida Fish and Wildlife, this alligator has been reported by several people. They explained that failed separation of monozygotic twins is common in reptiles and amphibians but they rarely reach this juvenile state.

I checked this out online…no sign of photoshop! This is honestly the first time I’ve seen a dicephalic, non-infant animal in the wild!

It’s hard to tell, but it still does look pretty young! That’s super cool.

It looks relatively healthy, too, not emaciated or anything. I’d be in favor of scooping it up to put it in a zoo and keep it alive longer, but it seems to be doing OK for now. Might have more difficulty when it has to sneak up on larger prey as it grows. That can’t be very hydrodynamic, either.

ULTRA MAGNUS ONLY HAD ONE SIP AND HE’S ALREADY LIKE

I was staring at this and then I remembered how small he actually is.

Swerve gave him something that was capable of making a mech THAT sized tipsy or worse. Minimus Ambus stood no chance.

Plus maybe he drank more than was a good idea because the Magnus armor does have a big mouth.

Theoretically, walking naked into the woods and standing in a patch of sun to warm yourself after bathing sounds really idyllic. In reality, a squirrel will start yelling at you and you will start yelling back that it is as naked as you are and has no right to complain.
