This is Orion, a cat I found at my Uni almost a year ago. He was sitting outside and crying and my sister and I ran into him playing pokemon go. She has her own can and had picked up some wet food for her cat and it was still in her car, so we gave him some and he ate the whole can. He was super friendly and I wasn't intending on getting a cat, but I just felt something in that moment, that if I didn't take him home that day and go to the vet to see if he was microchipped (if he was just lost) I would be looking for him all summer. So I took him home, got him some essentials, and took him to the vet the next morning.

It's been a year since that night I took him home, and he is the most amazing and loving cat ever. He's just the perfect cat and I can't imagine my life without him. Don't be afraid to take a chance with friendly strays, they need love too.

Me and my dad just went to the Mexican market, there was this booth where I got my first rabbit 2 years ago, we had the bright idea to buy 2 more.
Skip forward 2 hours, I have no idea what to name them.

We got a brown one and a grey one, they are both babies, and they weigh basically nothing.

The brown one is crazy shy, but likes to be pet

The grey one is a bit more sociable, but hides a lot.

Any suggestions on what to name them?

Only 1 rule, has to be appropriate, I live with my younger siblings and you get the idea.

/an/ helps me relax and I cant find a thread to get into

So I am going to share random animal and nature pictures that I find pleasant

Please dont be angry if I dont respond, it just means I'm not paying attention and typing would distract me.

I will keep going until I am "in state". I hope you like them.

Every time I have a glass of milk in my hand my lovebird tries to take a few sips and gets mad if I stop him
I know lovebirds are lactose intolerant but would one/two sips every other day kill him? I try to feed him a healthy diet aside from this

So we have a canary in the house, and he sings like a motherfucker like, it hurts our ear drums. What can we do to make him sing less? Add another male to the cage? Or a different species?

>this is an older picture, so don't be quick to judge her appearance in this picture.
>she's possibly a chantilly

Anyway, after we feed her, we usually just leave the room...but she comes be to whoever is available and begs them to watch her eat. I should mention that she doesn't get along well with our other cats, and is what I call her a crabby old lady.

Guys, I need your finest pictures of turkey hens (living), if possible with wings unfurled to appreciate the patterns composed by their feathers.

What are the best books/videos for training dogs? I'll be getting 2 blue heeler puppies in about a month to help me out on a small farm.

My biggest fear tends to be them chasing other peoples cattle and getting shot.

>see a raven eating something in the grass outside of my window
>figure it's a mouse or something, but don't want to take my camera and zoom in on it to spoil my appetite
>raven flies away with the prey in its mouth, some guts apparently spilling out

>come downstairs
>raven flies by and into a tree
>my mother notes that there's been a lot of activity in that tree today, and wonders what might be going on there
>raven flies away with something big and round in its beak
>speculate that some other birds have their nest there and it's plundering it

>raven comes back and hops around in the dense ivies growing on the tree
>two blackbirds are in the tree too and start chirping loudly and wildly as the raven rummages through the ivy
>flies away, again with a big round something in its beak

>happens once more
>blackbirds can't fend it off, but this time both of them chase after it as it flies away again with another chick in its mouth
>I was counting and figure that's at least four of them now

>my mother gets pissed at the raven and chases it away when it returns afterwards, since we're done with lunch ourselves
>probably no chicks left anyway, the blackbirds also calmed down
>mother sad, tell her that's nature

RIP blackbird couple's offspring, though.

I wish I had taken some photos of the raven in flight and of the blackbirds trying in vain to chase it off, but I was having lunch myself, but here's one of one of the blackbird mother after it was already over.
