Hello friends, I’m sharing with you this photo of a barn owl that I received from a friend who lives in the desert of southern Africa. Have a great day.
Coucou les amis je vous partage cette photo d une chouette effraie reçu d une amie qui est dans le desert du sud de I Afrique. Passez une chouette journée.
I believe this is a nest made by the Sociable Weaver. These nests are large enough to hold over 100 pairs of weavers, making them possibly the largest bird-made structures.
I was going to say sometimes the small things can make a big difference, but that actually reminded me of another story from the weekend!
The one head lady at the clinic was saying someone called up with a scarily diseased racoon she was handling bare handed, but the call turned into a human rescue! Through the conversation of trying to help the racoon, this lady seemed to be in some kind of abusive situation with a violently drunk spouse, so now she had 2 species in crisis to deal with over the phone!
I don’t know what happened with the lady, but the raccoon did get picked up by another clinic, but you never know who’s going to call the animal helpline! 😦
