2.25 inch opening: Bit of a struggle, but as Mr Meeseeks says: CAAAN DOO!

2 inch opening: Alright, lets try chewing the opening a bit, As long as we get the nuts into the mouth (huhuhu) we good I guess…

Uh-oh… Steve is getting greedy

A performance.

Hi I don’t really post on here, but I’m kinda confused. I saw a bat that was on the ground and it’s not moving a lot and I put it in a box but I don’t know what to do. Does anybody know what kinda bat this is or what I should do?

Edit: Thank you to the person who responded. I was able to find a rehabilitator for them and they stay with her now. I’ve never did that before, but THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE ADVICE.

went on a long walk outside the other day and i carry acorns with me for the express purpose of feeding squirrels and on the way back a squirrel bounded up to me and stopped in front of me waiting for an acorn. 10/10 would recommend taking walks and feeding squirrels, watching them eat them is also adorable.

Today is Squirrel Appreciation Day!

https://sawgrassnaturecenter.org/2022/01/18/squirrel-appreciation-day/

As of September, the Sawgrass Nature Center and Wildlife Hospital has treated over 800 wild animals. This is a 20% increase from last year’s total intakes. While we can’t be completely sure, we assume the increase is due to other local nature centers and wildlife hospitals closing down and redirecting traffic to us, as well as COVID-19 causing more people to stay close to home. 

The more time people spend at home, the more time they have to notice all the native wildlife running around their backyards. 

Gerard is just... a fascinating human. This is somehow both surreal and strange and yet surprisingly relatable? I had never thought of the images a book created in my mind as happening behind my head rather than in it, but his explanation of that is intriguing. Also the thing about climbing into your own head? Deeply relatable. 

Also I appreciate the Barbara cameo :) At least, when I see squirrels in something Gerard-related, I now assume that they are his tame squirrel friends.

Back in February, Gerard contributed to a comic/prose anthology, along with several other artists/authors, called The Secret Loves of Geeks. He wrote a short 4-page comic on the subject of love. It’s very Gerard. Anyway, here are pictures from my copy. I haven’t spotted any chatter about this in the tags yet, so enjoy! Also, the full book can be purchased here– and it’s well worth it, because all these stories talk about love in all kinds of forms, all sorts of genders and sexualities, etc. Really a great thing that he participated in!
