What happens when the bird lands on the dogā€™s eyes and scratches it? How confident are you that the dog wonā€™t give a warning nip?

Furthermore, mammal saliva is toxic to birds. This is stupid in more ways than one.

It only takes one time being surprised.

Itā€™s always a risk. Would you want your best friend to go into a polar bear enclosure alone even if the bear had never mauled anyone or acted like it wanted to?

Itā€™s never worth the risk if you value the little birdā€™s life.

Many professional trainers believe that hard mouth can be a hereditary affliction. When selecting a puppy, by all means check out the parents first. Still, there is really no surefire way to tell if a dog is going to be predisposed to damaging birds once it grows up. That part likely falls in the luck-of-the-draw department. There are, however, precautions you can take while training your retriever puppy that may help prevent the dog from developing hard mouth. Common sense applies in most cases.

I mean, theyā€™re literally bred to grab birds.

Please donā€™t do this.

A dog has a very strong predator instinct, and one little bite is all it takes to kill the budgie very painfully.

It looks very cute, but itā€™s a recipe for disaster.

Letā€™s play ā€œguess the GOP response:ā€

  • They were breaking the law, so they deserved to die
  • This didnā€™t really happen, itā€™s made up to make Abbot look bad
  • I donā€™t care, do u?

My favorite part of this whole thing was when she acted like this was a hard ā€œgotchaā€ question.

Itā€™s an easy question if youā€™re not a cryptofascist; she just didnā€™t want to take a public stand that would piss off the white supremacist faction that makes up the GOP base.

Its a perfect question for exposing the game that cryptofascists like to play.

Iā€™ve never looked at a pelican the same way since I saw one swallow a seagull in one gulp.

@Zombiepirate@lemmy.world avatar

HB 900, which was approved during this yearā€™s regular legislative session, requires school library vendors to rate all their books and materials for appropriateness before selling them to schools based on the presence of sex depictions or references. It also requires vendors to rank materials previously sold to schools and issue a recall for those that are deemed sexually explicit and are in active use by a school.

Man, I wanted to buy a copy of the Bible with all of the MPAA warnings printed on the front!

Contains a ludicrous amount of incest. Not for use by persons under the age of 18.

Although the Freedom Caucus statement does not specify the exact ā€œcancerous woke policies in the Pentagon,ā€ a spokesperson for the group pointed to provisions included in the House-passed National Defense Authorization Act in July. That bill would prohibit the Defense Department from reimbursing expenses related to abortion services, prevent health care coverage of transgender surgeries or hormone treatments, ban drag shows on military grounds, bar the teaching of critical race theory in the military, limit diversity training, and prevent the Pentagon from carrying out President Joe Bidenā€™s climate-related executive orders. The House version of the NDAA passed largely along party lines and is dead on arrival in the Democratic-controlled Senate.

GOP: Support the troops! Unless theyā€™re not Christian Nationalists, in which case they should have their lives destroyed by our bizzarre religious crusades!
