Coot found.
Lol!
Wouldn't be the first coot I had for dinner.. Sorry I couldn't help it.
I honestly couldn't kill it and eat it though. It's a living breathing creatures, cold and confused.

Posted by febyIf I was out hunting them I might, but this appears to be someone's pet. I don't really like hunting much. Idk how people could hunt with a belly full of food, but each to their own. For all I know though it could be farmed for food and basically escaped the Holocaust. I use to buy 1 $ mice from the snake food box then raise them for years. Giving them lots of cotton balls then watching them build big warm fuzzy homes.Posted by SoulLol!! Funny enough we were reading the same book 😄

I believe there are people you can call who will come and help. Like a bird rescue.click to expand
Posted by RumiLoveIt doesn't fear me to a point it tries to escape, but if my hand gets too close it slowly tries to peck me.
how cute.
Doesnt fear you? Adopt it?
Posted by RumiLoveNot at all. It waddled down a dirt hill, chilled under my vehicle for a moment, then went straight into a corner. It stood there looking around for a bit, then laid down. Probably from the cold. It's snowing slightly today.
Does the bird seem injured?
I guess it could be injured, but it didn't walk with a limp or anything, no visible injuries.
Posted by RumiLoveI might attempt to take it home. Idk what I could do for it though. Is it domestic? That's the real question. It seemed drawn to use humans. If that's the case it would be safer in the the hands of humans, and surly die on its own. The only problem is providing it food. Idk what the person it came from was feeding it, assuming it did come from someone's farm. I did find thisPosted by SoulId say ADOPT IT!Posted by RumiLoveNot at all.

Can you provide for it, like keep it warm..?
Or will you call up animal rescue people?

Eats mainly aquatic plants including algae, duckweed, eelgrass, wild rice, sedges, hydrilla, wild celery, waterlilies, cattails, water milfoil; when on land they also pick at terrestrial plants and sometimes eat grains or leaves of oak, elm, and cypress trees. They’re not exclusively vegetarian. You may also see them eating insects (beetles, dragonflies, and others), crustaceans, snails, and small vertebrates such as tadpoles and salamanders.
Maybe I should look into a professional rescue.
Posted by RumiLoveNope. It doesn't run, but tried to lightly peck me when my hand gets too close.
How will keep it warm...? You said its too cold?
Does it let you touch?
Call Captain Planet.
Posted by HemispheresYea, I'll tell him to bring Inspector Gadget along also so we can get to the bottom of this.
Call Captain Planet.
Some of my coworkers are now telling me they watched it fly in and and land on the hill. If that's the case it mogjt actually be wild. Idk if they are telling me this so I don't actuslly attempt to take it home, or if that's the truth. I don't understand why a wild animal would trust humans, unless it's lost and confused, or sick and injured.
So I noticed a dog sniffing around and I thought to myself "Wtf is this, lost animal day?" And before I could chase the dog the dog ran after the coot. Luckily the bird flew to a brush pile where it can safely hide.
This is where it hid

Posted by ImarollinLife I previously mentioned, a dog chased it, but I yelled at the dog then the bird flew into a brush pile to hide. I feel it's pretty safe, and it was smart enough to take shelter in the brush.
Maybe feed it and let it free? leave a cardboard box out in case the cold is too much and it is injured.
I've just never been able to see why anyone would cage an animal that's meant to fly.
Let it be free
Posted by ImarollinI will, but I'm not too worried about it freezing. Essentially all northern (maybe even southern) water fowl secret an oil in their feathers to keep them from freezing in the winter and cold waters. Normally in the winter they are known to gather in large numbers. Sometimes in the thousands. I think this little one got separated from the rest.Posted by SoulOh good. Maybe leave an old towel in a cardboard box near if it needs to seek shelter?Posted by ImarollinLife I previously mentioned, a dog chased it, but I yelled at the dog then the bird flew into a brush pile to hide.

I'm Aquarius which is air fire signs need to kno I can't be burn by fire why do y'all be mad?
What annoys you fellow Aquarians? I'm curious because I don't know many people who share my sign. Here's some general things that irk me. For one thing I'm not too strict about a lot of things. The only thing I'd say I'm super strict about is my priva
Me, topless make out, get high, and staring at the ceiling contest. You?
Yours is a sign I know very little about. Maybe you guys are just extraordinarily friendly. My friend and I casually dated for a couple months, but things didn't progress and he started seeing someone else, then we stopped talking for awhile (all this too
Throughout my time on this board I've read countless posts on the disappearing Aquarius but what about the reappearing Aquarius? What are the reasons you come back months later? Long story short...I broke up with my Aqua back in earl July. He had been a
I asked the other day about how an aqua likes to console their partner. How would you like being approached of you were sad/upset/frustrated? Do you want immediate attention? To be left alone, until you're ready? To just vent and then forget it?

Dear Aqua board, I am formally addressing you all to inform you that you are being invaded today. Prepare yourself for a swift and rough invasion, where you'll have no choice but to accept the invasion and learn to live with new status quo. Thus, I hav
I suspect you lose interest and move on? Am I correct?
And those in my real life so fucking annoying, conniving, manipulative bitches?
What's your reaction, both internal (gut) reaction and external reaction when you see your partner upset/sad/frowning and you don't know why? Do you assume it's you? Do you try to make them feel better right away? Do you let them be?
Every Aqua, including myself, I've encountered appear to be picky or health-conscious eaters in comparison to Libras or Sagittariuses who are open to eating or trying literally anything (which is great because they're not difficult to cook for). I also no
Question for all the fixed signs: Taurus, Leo, Scoprio and Aquarius Do you find to let to let go of people? Are you good with change? Are you stubborn? What do you think reflects your fixed placement. State the placements your fixed signs fall in
So this coot waddled up to all of us today at work, then curled up in a corner. Idk what to do. The coot is an aquatic bird and we're far from any lakes or parks. It's kind of dumb, and by that I mean it doesn't fear humans so it must be domesticated. I fear it might die due to weather, animals, or lack of aquatic food. At the same time Idk what to do with it.
