Happy Thanksgiving to all the US owl fans here, and a big thank you to everyone around the world that visits here.
I'm thankful I've gotten the opportunity to learn new things about animals with you every day for the last few months. We've been able to teach each other so many things, both about the places we're from, and places most of us will probably never see.
We've gotten closer to each other, no matter where we are physically, and hopefully we feel a closer bond with our fellow creatures we share this world with.
Also a huge thanks to all the animal rescue and rehab workers. They work around the clock, entirely reliant on donations, and it is a tough job. Only about 30% of animals that make it to a rescue will survive. It must take a big heart and an iron will to deal with that amount of loss in a daily basis.
I looked it up, and it seems second to the bobcat, the GHO is the second most common predator of adult turkeys, but they seem to only be able to handle the female turkeys, not the full grown males, and they usually only claim the head. They will snatch them right out of the trees.
GHO are truly top tier predators!
Well of course they kill turkeys, turkeys sleep in the owls' trees.
I missed the joke. Could you explained it to me ?
It wasn't much of a joke really, just shoehorning in the fact that turkeys sleep in trees lol. So do peacocks. I found out the latter one when I stayed at this hotel that had resident peacocks, in the morning half the cars had peacock poop on them.
