billvon 2,400 #1 May 26, 2004 It's spring here (not that you can really tell) and all the larger animals are busy producing smaller animals. At Perris, the covered creeping area is chock full of house sparrows, with their young screeching for food. Whenever a bird (or even a person) comes near, two wide open mouths appear from the nest, and they wait for someone to shove a bug in or something. In a few weeks they'll probably be learning to fly, and the creeper area will be full of small birds and nervous parents flailing around. At the tunnel last night, Celeste brought in a baby hummingbird that someone found at Perris. It is about the smallest living flying thing I've ever seen, about the size of a small peanut. She was feeding it with sugar water, and it seemed pretty happy, sitting on her finger and looking around at all the people bouncing off the walls of the tunnel. And then this morning, while watering the slope, a rabbit the size of a small orange came out of nowhere, ran past me, and ran straight into a pot. It fell over onto its side, made running motions for a few seconds, then realized that wasn't working, so it got up and took off again - this time right into me. After that collision it got up and wobbled away into the canyon. Looks like it has a little more to learn before it joins the ranks of the adult rabbits who spend their time eating all my plants.

DrunkMonkey 0 #7 May 26, 2004 I was bored one day, so I took my pet rock and a hammer, and forced it to give birth to a half dozen baby pet rocks. Sadly, they haven't grown a lot in the past month, and their appetites are nonexistent... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I caught one in team room G and let him go outside. (Melanie would probably kill me if she knew.) It looked like it was not long for this world, though.
