The respected ornithologist went to South America in search of the rare Foo bird. The bird was thought to have colorful plumage, but the most interesting claim about the bird is that he had no natural predators. Old records are full of reports of the bird quickly dispatching any would be predators, but exactly what method it used was unknown. All the reports said the attack was sudden and deadly. After weeks of searching for the bird, the scientist and his crew stalked and found the bird. As expected, the bird was beautiful, but it didn’t seem to be aggressive, or dangerous in any way. Before ending his research, the scientist decided to wait until the bird left it’s nest to take one of the small beautifully marked eggs from that nest, and he did. On their way out of the forest, they heard a bloodcurdling screech from above, and looked to see the once thought docile bird diving at them like a hawk attacking a mouse. The speed and squawks were disorienting. At the last second, the bird pulled out of it’s dive, and instead of attacking with it’s claws and beak, it defecated all over the scientist. The smell was overpowering. His assistant and crew described it as what they assumed mustard gas was like in WW1 The scientist was in agony. He jumped into a nearby stream to wash the foul odor off, but upon entering the water he died. His assistant did survive even though the egg was lost, and made an in depth report on all that was learned from the expedition. Much was learned, but the major fact that was learned was taken as warning for any future ornithologists who might want to study that bird. If the Foo Shits Wear It.

Saw my first wild owl last night. Was on the couch watching tv when I noticed something in my peripheral vision. Thought a balloon blew into the tree at first, then watching it realized it was a bird. Thought it was one of the predatory hawks we have here that eat smaller birds thenr ealized its' wingspan was too big. Staring at it a bit I gradually realized it was an owl. And it's big black eyes were looking right at me. Thinking of a recent 'real aliens abduction' movie, one taking place in Alaska...I remember they used an owl metaphor for aliens peering through windows at people. So I thought to myself, I hope that's really an owl...

Maybe Athena is spying on you.

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog! Saying comes true at last as canines frolic in front of the camera

I guess this is one answer supporting nurture over nature, eh?

In Texas, a 12-year-old girl who missed school due to illness found herself in a terrible situation. Her mother wasn't answering her phone, and her new puppy, apparently having eaten something unsuitable for a young dog, was dying right before her eyes.
Panicked but determined, she grabbed the car keys. Although she'd never driven before, she drove about a kilometer, heading for the nearest veterinary clinic, and just a few minutes later, police lights flashed behind her.

The officer who pulled her over quickly realized what was happening. Without hesitation, he hurried to transfer the puppy to his car and raced to the veterinarian. Thanks to his quick reaction, the puppy survived.

The girl, already overcome with guilt, was later driven to her mother's work. Before leaving, the policeman turned to the mother and said,

"Under normal circumstances, I would lecture you, hoping you'd raise your child better. But, madam, you've raised an amazing, strong, compassionate, and intelligent young woman. Let's just make sure that in a few years, she knows which side of the road to drive on."
