I was wondering what that magnificent fur was doing on the owl until I read the description. Full squirrel butt.

Oh Barkness, what big eyes you have.

Always interesting to see different country variants.

This happy happy face makes me also happy happy. :)

Creativity knows no bounds

I’m always amazed at the first people who think up the art forms and the shapes for it. Like how do you even formulate this in your mind? Just awesome.

Most human looking owl eyes I’ve seen so far.

Just wanna say thanks for sharing this baking tip. It’s so interesting that chilling the dough can make such a difference. I gotta try it some day.

Man it’s like someone took a marker to the eyes and started to cross them out. I keep feeling like it should be a complete x across them.

Just doing some late night chores. Who are we to complain?

Hey, the owls will forgive you cheating on them with the hawks. XD

Besides, rescuers and zookeepers absolutely have their favourites so no one can blame you for preferences. And it’s always great when you can bond with them. Makes it feel better.

Always love a follow up especially when it’s good news. Despite a shitty start it’s a clean finish!

Now that’s an owl with an attitude.

That looks very painful. Plus some owls use their feet for so much it must really hinder things. Glad they got into the right place to get better.

I love how we can just search up anything now. Still have to dodge the sketchy sourced ones but truly all of human knowledge at our fingertips so we can answer all our burning questions at any time of the day is amazing.

Oh I would never put down the efforts and commitment of people who dedicate themselves to animal rescue. It can be thankless and heartbreaking sometimes.

And humans really are the number one affector of the environment so any bit we can do to recover is good.

All the best to Webby indeed!

The eternal why. All kids have that phase. Even animal kids.

A rare condition and the ability to fix it. It’s nice to read when human intervention actually is positive since our species has already done a lot of wrecking so this feels like harm reduction.

I hope the owl lives a long time. I wonder if it’s genetically passed down though. Might end up cultivating owls that have that.

That surprised face is probably going to last for quite a while. Poor owl.

At least it didn’t become hawk food so there’s a bit of luck.

You’ll want one of your own. Medications, personal items you want to have. Not general line items like clothes and meds. Specifying is important. Write down stuff like 1 week of anti allergies meds, 2 pairs of pants, 6 t-shirts etc. You would think that there’s no way you would forget something important. Then you remember on the way to the airport and it’ll ruin the start of your trip.

Calculate based on how long you intend to be overseas to see how many clothes and meds you need. If you have an essential medicine like insulin pack extra in case delays happen. Have emergency medicine like for fever and diarrhoea just in case.

Portable charger and also your own wired chargers. Check what kind of power points the country will use and buy an adaptor if needed.

Buy travel insurance. If you have a delay you will need it. Check what the insurance covers as well to ensure it meets your needs. You mainly want something to cover last minute cancellations and flight delays that could force you to spend more than you intended. But also stuff like medical repatriation, lost luggage etc.

Get the details of the nearest embassy for your country. Write the contact details down so in an emergency you can get in touch.

Anyway, don’t stress. 99% of the time all this won’t be needed but for that 1% the extra effort you put in to have this ready will help you handle things better.

Create a checklist of things to pack, bring or prepare. Helps to know you definitely packed 3 sets of clothes and have your passport ready.

Keep all your paperwork in a file easily accessible. Try to print stuff if you can because that doesn’t run out of battery.

If you’re the type to fret over prices, have a currency exchange rate ready so you know how much things will cost in your currency. Just a good mental shorthand reference. Have it be what you exchanged it for at the time not whatever the current rate is.

Oh yes, I love it when the drinks are flat. I find the carbonation kinda burns so having less of that makes the drink better.

Also, you don’t get it back up the nose when you burp.
