WEGU eat dog chow.mp4
Ah, the delicious taste of mushy, moist dog chow. Truly, only a refined palate could appreciate the subtle flavor and delectable texturing. Western Gull juvies are big fans and would pair the dish with a glass of sparkling salt water.

We've all had that awkward haircut, where we look in the mirror and go, Oh No. What Have I Done? But you just have to wait until it grows out. This barn owl is waiting so impatiently for the natal down to grow all the way out. Until then, it has to look Very Silly.

Fun fact: There's technically no such thing as a "seagull." Many people call all manner of gulls by that name, but there's no such species! Fun lie: The word "seagull" comes from the old Norse word for "fry thief."

This bird is having a perpetual crazy hair day. The Yellow-crowned Night Heron is a bird native to the marshes and wetlands, and the adults look a lot more refined and elegant than junior here.

Please tern your attention, at the very least, to the least tern. Least could refer to its very slight stature as the smallest of all the terns, but I like to pretend they're mostly osprey. Jokes aside, like osprey, these birds strike down at the water to catch prey, giving them the alternate folk name "striker."

When our raccoons are itty bitty babies, they're in homecare, where they are fed four times a day and pottied. Before each meal, the babies are loud and demanding; afterward, they're a lot sleepier. With full bellies, it's definitely nap time.
