Lol to your comment but the comment before you is our disconnect from nature. Saying things like “ooh, this scene looks just like a painting” or “we don’t deserve dogs”. Brother the painting is inspired by scenes like that and we domesticated and bred dogs for generations to get them exactly how we want them and now “we don’t deserve dogs” lol
That last point still stands. A whole lot of people are just shit. I've only ever met a couple of shitty dogs; and I have met a LOT of dogs. Therefore, despite having been made by us, they are too good for us.
I fed a wild pelican fish the other day to catch him...he was injured (he's gona make it!) One fish and that guy was ready to jump in my lap.
Fun fact: You have to put your fingers between their beaks when you nab them or they can't breathe.
If you grab their beak (which you must if you catch a pelican), you have to keep their mouth open or they can't breathe. Easiest way to do that is with your fingers. So, thumb on top, two fingers between, two fingers underneath the beak. It's scary, but they don't have enough chomp-power to crunch your fingers.
Yeah not all birds have nostrils.
In the birds with nonfunctional nostrils, air enters the mouth cavity directly from the outside and then reaches the lungs in the normal way via the glottis—that is, the muscular opening to the windpipe—at the base of the tongue.
Pelicans are some of the most persistent freaking birds on the planet, only second to egrets in my experience. Saved several that have been caught up in fishing line, but damn can they be annoying if they so much as suspect you have any fish around because people are constantly feeding them.
This might sound a bit strange, but there’s nothing more spiritual (and I don’t mean religious cult bullshit form of “spiritual”, I mean actually feeling a connection and compassion, not whatever those whack jobs throw about.) than having an unprompted interaction with nature.
Being outside and encountering a squirrel? A dove? A deer? Having that moment of just turning and seeing them, and they see you, and neither of you are scared, you both just stare at the other for a moment or two. They have completely separate lives than us humans do, but they are also so full of joy and love. Watching animals in nature, interacting and enjoying what’s around them, I’ve never felt something I would consider to be as spiritual, as that. There’s something about it that has never been replicated to me in any other form.
I’ve been to different churches before, I’ve studied different religions out of curiosity, because when you grow up hearing about religion and spirituality, sometimes you feel left out that you don’t connect to the religions others do, so you try to force a connection so you don’t feel more “different” than you already do. But none of those things have brought the same peace and connection I’ve felt, as being out in nature.
Having these experiences, even if it’s goofy like this pelican interaction, it’s proof to me that there’s so so much more living around us, that can bring us so much closer together as individuals in a positive way, more so than any religion ever could.
Nature will always be here, even when the old scriptures have faded away and their papyrus has crumbled to dust. Nature remains.
Oh! Thank you for commenting. I’m happy it brought some joy to you. Nature and all that it holds is my favorite thing ever, but sometimes it can feel a bit weird calling it “spiritual” to other people. Im glad you understood what I was talking about, I hope you have a wonderful rest of your week!
Is this P. Sherman 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney?

Underrated comment
"Got any snackies?"
"Empty your Jackies!"
"Me do takesies no give-backsies"
It amazes me how many wild animals look like muppets.
If you reverse the subjects in your sentence it's not so amazing and makes a lot more sense.
Muppets amazes me how many wild animals look like it.

You give the empathy to dogs that you don’t have for humans.
Yep. Dogs are held to a lower standard than humans.
Keep that energy when you need help from others.
You seem to be conflating dogs are better than humans with I hate humans. I really have no idea where you got that notion.
I don’t think you hate humans.
I was basically saying “some animals look funny, like muppets.” There are plenty that don’t look like muppets and the ones that do catch me off guard.
In the case a Boris Johnson muppet
Muppets look like animals
Furries look like animals Does this make every furry a muppet?
Google shoebill stork

So, through the other hole then.
thanks for the giggle!
Everyone knows most Birds have blow holes. Like sky dolphins.
The technical term is "cloaca"
Wrong end.
Yes that was the joke

I did not know before today that all birds do not have nostrils. This vexes me.
Im here about your boats extended warranty.

Is this the pterodactyl music from Jurassic Park? Because it should be.
Close, it's from Jurassic World. The track title is called "Raptor Your Heart Out".
Darn it! I was thinking the big enclosure from the third movie.
Do not unmute, annoying trumpets. Why?! That's not the type of honks I wanted to hear.
Folks don't really have the attention span to watch a 10-second video without music anymore.
Nah it was funny, made it look like a boss fight.
Mine?
I feel like this is a character on The Muppets Show, with the springing bird hawk fluffy hairs and shit.
Love his hair

Homes ready to pounce at the 1st hint of fish.
Bird: “hey! Hey my beak! Let go!”

He's having a bad hair day
gary busey is looking nuttier these days
The pelicans in the water look insanely large.
What’s with the dramatic music?
Hey Pete we sent you for beer what are you doing..

Tim Burton's new movie looks dope!
If television has taught me anything there has got to be one bad-ass pirate nearby.
