Puffin tossing in Iceland, pregnant pets, angry chicken, and happy owl.
Because that stunt with the turkeys really didn’t work out so well.
Why it’s perfectly normal to see baby puffins thrown off cliffs in Iceland

Another look at the Icelandic puffin toss, also sent by Kar F.:
I member this being a story in our 4th grade reader, about 15 years ago!
The New York Times did an episode of their “Animal” podcast on puffins:

This poor goat looks almost as wide as she is long, there as to be at least two in there.
That rooster seems very happy.
I’m sure that he is, but college is going to break his heart.
😿
The owl was SMILING! Never seen such a happy owl☺️
I would love to make an owl that happy.
“As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.” ROFLMAOing over Mike’s hover.
Extra amusing because the puffling story is also from a radio station! (npr was/is a radio station, right? National public radio?)
I think I tried to find WKRP reruns once, but either I couldn’t or they were edited because of copyrights on the songs, so just not as fun. I may try to search again.
You can find clips on YouTube.
Based on a true story supposedly. Threw turkeys off the back of a pickup truck at KBOX on Texas, nit clear if hey were frozen or alive, conflicting versions.
And yes, the guy did think that turkeys could fly.
Googling for Puffling Patrol videos was a mistake.
Well I just added two more items to my bucket list: toss a puffling and nuzzle an owl.
Is it just me or does the owl look a bit like a gremlin?
