Ya know, if you feed 'em enough, they'll grow to be big enough to ride.
Hmm. Good point. Seems to hold true for people... my kids just keep growing like weeds.

<Plus, I read it on the internet. It has to be true!>

Ride my kids? Saddle? :eek: No. :heh:

Boy, I didn't realize how ... wrong ... that sounds until I read it in someone else's post.

Besides, I can't even get them to wear a bridle, much less a saddle. ;)

It said 'big enough' to ride, not neccesarily ridden. And, as much as I carry them around now it's only fair that they might return the favor when I'm old. :p

The closest I have had is a crow in our neighbor hood that has landed on my shoulder on a few occassions. The second time it happened I gave it a potato chip and it flew off. Now I am in its permanent memory as 'sucker'. :p

The Auld Grump, who rather likes crows...
 

A duck stood on my back porch for the better part of last evening.

Nope, not sitting, standing and staring. Looking back and forth into the gloaming every now and then. Kinda Berke Breathed-ish, seeing it from behind. It stood there for about four, five hours.

A mallard, to be specific.

Just throwing that out there...

We used to play D&D out behind the house, and a crow missing one leg often came to watch us. Eventually we started feeding it. :)
 

2 questions...

How warm was it during the day that day? and how cool was that night?

The reason I ask, is that at least around here, during late spring/early Fall, the nights tend to get significantly cooler. This has the effect of bringing some local wildlife (usually porcupines, with the occasional skunk) out onto the comparably warm asphalt roads in some of the more rural regions.


Another possibility, is that it could be a fledged owlet that hasn't quite left its nest. A lot of young birds will leave the nest physically so as to escape the parasites that inevitably infest it, yet are unable to "leave" the nest and are stil reliant upon the adults.
