Ordinarily they only handle dogs and cats but recently someone brought in a duck he found limping on the side of the road and looked to have a broken wing. Their facility will take in such cases temporarily until they find a more suitable arrangement for the animal.

    I've had birdaphobia since I was like 8 years old. I live in Alaska and I went inside of an outhouse and a giant robin flew out and scared me to death. I ran out and my friend Mike tried to enter to investigate and the robin flew out and flew right by my head. Another bird flew straight at me when this bad kid knocked its nest down. Those two incidents made me fear birds, but lately, I held down a seagull who got hooked on a pier in California while another man took out the hook and it flew away. I also have been feeding a Camp Robber who made a house in my roof, so I've been making lots of progress in overcoming my bird fear.

      @@ParagonChumba here in my hometown in the netherlands like almost a decade ago orso, we used to have an owl that would swoop on dogs and graze people over the top of their heads, he was terrorizing people walking their dogs at night, and sometimes people cycling along
      until one night, a bad judgement call on the owl's side, cause it to crash into the glass pane of a bus stop after a swoop and knocked itself clean out,
      aftter which it could be captured and it was sent off to the local bird park for a checkup at the vet and for them to take care of him in captivity
      funnily enough, we have the biggest bird amusement park in western europe (avifauna), it's not even that huge or anything but it's a pretty niche thing to have lol, i was founded by a family of hotel owners that came from this town of which their last name happens to be "de valk" (the falcon) too, starting up the park with their amassed capital,
      i guess having birds int he family went a loooong way back having that name, or it's just coincidence they opened up a bird amusement park :')
      to add to all the confusion, their hotel branches and their other companies have had a Toucan as a logo for decades, not a falcon for some reason lol
      they even have their own butcher shop here too, with serious quality meat, ofcourse with their their connections on the hotel branch, they can buy in high grade stuff in bulk, and use the butcher's to sell off certain meats on discount when the hotels aren't projecting to sell as much as they go in, so they have an outlet to minimize their losses there, and we get good prices on high grade meat, gotta love availability.

    I don't think I could ever be scared of birds, geese included. I did start rock climbing when I discovered I developed a major fear of heights between climbing all the big trees as a kid and getting out of the Air Force. So naturally I started climbing 12 years ago and I have come a long way. There will be no soloing, but I do trust my gear and don't mind a big fall.
    We did have a farm dog that would take on any stray fighting dog or pack of coyotes and always walk away unwounded. He could always be found whimpering under the porch when the wild turkeys were around.
    Miss you Hoss.

    My autistic nephew's favorite animal was a tiger. I left engineering and worked with him 50 hours a week for two years and he is about to graduate from college and can drive a car. Anyway, when he was still in elementary school, I saw a baby tiger you could pet for $20 and tried to convince him to do it. He knew it was his favorite animal, but was scared. I paid for me first and had told him "this may be your only chance to pet a tiger."
    He did it. from behind and the tiger cub kept turning around to look at him which would make him step back the first two times, but he kept petting it and finally was okay staying where he was when it would turn to look at him. I was so proud of him for doing that.

      I just hit play and she was pooped on. I'll never forget the one day I had a chance of clothes in the trunk of my car at my first engineering job. We were going to give speeches outside the building under a tree for lunch and I got to the table first and a seagull shit right on my head. I had to wash my head in the sink and then changed my clothes and then still went home to take a shower as that smell was unreal. It was the worst. The shit had gone down all the sides of my head, but the front (so maybe not the very worst).

    I have 2 cockatoos. Congratulations for facing an concurring your fear of birds. They are incredible in the sense that they can have way more personality than you would ever expect. My birds are like 3 to 5 year old kids.....all the time. The only difference is that the larger one has enough power in his beak to snip a finger off. That was very intimidating in the beginning, but then his personality came through, and also his trust in me. It wasn't long before I didn't fear him anymore.

    Vision is diffraction limited and subject to angular resolution, this is called the Rayleigh Criterion. If humans had a pupil that could open to 10 centimeters we could be able to just resolve a 1 meter object at a distance of 50 kilometers, but because we have a pupil about 4 millimeters, the human eye can barely see 1 meter at a distance of 3438 meters, or 1 CM at a distance of 3438 CM.
