What did you take a photo of on your walk today? (feat. CHUNK)

Oh I so want to be there to run with the dogs. I’m jealous.

@runswithdogs That’s a beautiful beach, and the most beautiful thing about it is the lack of people! I never get this my New Jersey beach. It’s crawling with Guidos (I’m allowed to say Guido because I’m a huge amount Sicilian). fist pump

Just casually walking in the woods having escaped the office for an hour, and this tiny feather literally dropped out of the sky in front of me. I put my hand out and it landed right in my hand…

Youre like Dr. Doolittle!

I find these all over, but it’s from my preening African Grey, Chino.

He’s a pretty boy

Shortstuff · 2019-03-28 16:55:16 UTC

He’s beautiful @x-Dena-x

I’ll be finding them soon too, when I adopt my rescue hens on April 6th

Thanks! Its funny because with Greys, you cant tell the sex by visual means, only blood tests. I never had it done and Chino always felt like a “he” to me.

Then fast fwd 10 years later, I wake up to find an egg at the bottom of the cage. He turns out to be a she, but I still call her a he, because she will always be a he, to me! Say that even 2x fast.

Thats sweet!! Are you building them a hen condo??

christylaine · 2019-03-28 17:14:36 UTC

It’s 2019, Chino can be a Shim all she wants lol ‍♀ but that’s so crazy to find out 10 years later! She was ahead of the game

x-Dena-x · 2019-03-28 17:21:00 UTC

Lmao seriously. Why rock the boat?

Shortstuff · 2019-03-28 17:24:26 UTC

I have this to start with, but once they’re settled in this will just be for sleeping in as I’ll let them loose in the garden.

x-Dena-x · 2019-03-28 17:35:35 UTC

Thats so cute! How many are you adopting??

Shortstuff · 2019-03-28 20:04:20 UTC

Four ex-battery hens. My friend runs a rescue and is taking in a batch of 200 hens on Saturday so when I bring my girls home they will be very early in their recovery.

Janie · 2019-03-28 23:23:26 UTC

What does “ex-battery” mean?

You now have to plug them into the wall to make them work.

One of the wonderful things about living in the Pacific Northwest is the proximity to so much of nature. I live up in the mountains and about a fifteen minute drive away there’s a beautiful waterfall; twenty minutes gets you to a ski resort. We’re surrounded by forests and wetlands and an array of rivers and streams. We also have a ton of lakes nearby and spring is the perfect time to pop by.

After picking up my little one from preschool this afternoon I drove about five minutes to Lake Sammamish. We had fun on the beach there and watched a bunch of the wildlife, then headed to the nearby playground (which has an awesome zipline among other things). We had a great time.
