And finally: Macaw at the Spa
Andrew Y. shares this relaxing massage.
Lucky birdie…I pulled a muscle in my shoulder yesterday; I could really use a massage.
So happy for sweet adult kitties finding good homes. Rosie is so pretty.
My holiday wish for you all: may you be as happy as that macaw. I never realized birbs could bliss out like that.
Love all the reunion/rescue stories today.
The latest (and last on Spotify) episode of the podcast Heavyweight dropped yesterday. It’s about a macaw and it’ll leave you swearing at the onion-cutting ninjas!

I’m hearing two men saying good by to their brother, along with finding the bird.
25 years later!
In some small way yes.
Grief is very individualized so its not a one and done kind of process
That’s one healthy-looking cow
Also looks very happy!
Love the rogue cow living with the bison. 😀
I’ve probably told this story before, but the farm below us had a young cow escape a couple of winters ago, and after several sightings (some as far as 2 miles away), and near misses, she was finally captured after FOUR MONTHS on the run. Missing an ear (tangled with a barbed wire fence) and slightly underweight, but otherwise completely fine.
I asked the farmer if she was planning to spare the cow after all she’d been through and her response was basically “lol, sorry but no.” In her defense, though, they spend a LOT of money raising these cows and sell the meat for $$$$ (and the cows are ethically raised, so I know the cow lived in relative luxury for whatever time she had left).
I figure I know what you mean, but “the farm below us ” made me imagine a colony of agrarian mole people, farming mushrooms by the light of bioluminescent moss.
😭
LOL! Sorry, yes- for context, we live on a hill and our property goes out to a ridge, with a lot of farmland on the road below the ridge. And we have plenty of moles, but none of them farm mushrooms. As far as I know, anyway. 😛
I thought I replied to this…
This comment made me laugh and threw me right back to the Acri Creature Feature on Friday nights in the 1970s (1956 film The Mole People)
I’m very happy for all the rescued and adopted pets.
Can’t see the cow video, it’s region restricted for me.
That parrot looks blitzed out of his little bird brain!
Cute story but some concern that they need to catch that cow if they can.
Apparently if she breeds with the bison it could be dangerous for her. Like why they always breed horse mares with donkeys for mules.
Interesting fact: If a donkey mare mates with a horse stallion, the resulting get is called a hinny (not a mule). It must happen occasionally, I guess, or why have a name for the offspring? But I agree it sounds like not the best idea.
It’s illegal in a lot of states apparently.
Makes sense, less dangerous horse mares than donkey.
