WILD ANIMAL ENCOUNTERS

Narson

@Apos Good boy Braum. Many ear strokes.

Yam

@Apos tell me how you acquired a pet cloud

TNP

That’s not a cloud. It’s a polar bear.

BurnNotice

Am I the only one worried about why the deer had hands. Braum knew some shit was up.

I SAW A TURKEY VULTURE

this is really exciting to me because vultures are not REMOTELY common around here and I have never seen one in my 30+ years living in the area ah;hghgggg

Yam

@tsar GRATS ON YOUR TURKEY VULTURE SIGHTING. I still get excited when I see regular wild turkeys around here.

OMG ME TOO

GF

There were three ravens in my yard when I went out to the mailbox today. No idea what they were doing, and they flew off before I could even get my phone, but I was shocked to see these animals I’d only ever seen in photos before. I always thought ravens were small, but these things were each the size of a football before they even opened their wings.

TNP

@GF They were being unkind.

Third Eye

This is a pretty tame wild animal encounter but I’m gradually rescuing pictures from Photobucket and found my trip to the Petrified Forest from a few years back, where I met this handsome creature.

The pics don’t convey how BIG ravens are in a way I was not prepared for, but it was a kindly raven. It was clearly used to people and I think was angling for me to feed it. It had a business.

Solstice

@Yam

Loki, is that you?

Tori

Not the greatest shots because despite being MONSTERS they terrify super easily

I think it’s been eating my hibiscus. I tried to get better shots when it moved to the pool AND IT HAD A BUDDY but they ran away as soon as I raised my phone.

Snackness

TINY FROG!

BurnNotice

That is CLEARLY just a leaf, @Snackness.

Snackness

@BurnNotice That’s what he WANTS you to think.

Ravens in the UK typically have a wingspan of up to four feet. They are not small birds by any stretch, and it’s only the size that marks them out from the other all-black birds. We had some in our corner of Wales - the only birds that were bigger were European buzzards and red kites, since we didn’t have eagles.

tl;dr: Ravens are big.
