1 out of 4, I got an “F” 😅 but it was still fun. Thanks for the pop quiz :)

Is there such a thing as too many Screech Owls?? 😂 Hope things get better, and in the meantime, please have a virtual hug from an internet stranger! 🤗
I did! I agree, the video is a great illustration of the info here. Social media is pretty random, hope you keep learning and sharing for your own enjoyment :)
In Jerboa it also opens in an outside link, which is one reason I’m not partial to videos. But seeing those feathers not move and (not) hearing the sound of the owls flight would be hard to replicate in text. Great video!
This is super interesting, just like the feet! I had no idea that feathers served so many different functions. Thank you for this post and also for curating the links. That takes a lot of time!
You’re right, that joint does look different with the two small articulations, though it’s hard to tell if that’s just the angle of the image. So interesting.
Oh nice, more goodies! Do you know offhand how it’s possible for the toe to rotate? Is it not fixed in the joint as with other birds (and mammals)? Or something about where the joint attachment is located?
This is part of what is so well done about your post. There are so many surprises and misconceptions illuminated (at least for me who doesn’t know much about owls). Thickened leg bones, weak beaks, rotatable talons, how can this be? Thanks again for this post.
This is amaaaazzzing! Thank you so much for all the research, clear summaries, and links. I had no idea that owls’ feet were so specialized and different from other birds. I’ve learned a lot! Going to bookmark this keep rereading to absorb all the things.
That is a whole barn. Bon appetit!
Did you create this yourself? Kudos, if so! If not, do you have a source? Either way, thank you for sharing. My plants are thanking you too ;)
Wait, is this a mushroom or a coral? Perhaps like some other lurking upvoters, I am not actively growing or finding but do enjoy learning from the posts here. Thanks for sharing!
I like this daring approach to getting more plants! Also had to look up ‘zombie leaves’ and apparently they are sold as plants by themselves. From an ag extension school in NC::
Some, but not all, plants can be propagated from just a leaf or a section of a leaf. Leaf cuttings of most plants will not generate a new plant; they usually produce only a few roots or just decay. Because leaf cuttings do not include an axillary bud, they can be used only for plants that are capable of forming adventitious buds.
Fiddle, are you capable??
Mango seeds are quite distinctive, so if she remembers planting it but just doesn’t remember the fruit it came from, perhaps it is something other than mango.
This is a glorious, nerdy, delightful explosion of memeness! (thanks for sharing, your user name is quite apt 😂)
I didn’t know that about rubber plants, thanks. Yes, I was thinking of the ficus benjamina, with smallish leaves and an arching/drooping habit.
If you have the space, a ficus is a pretty classic houseplant with different contours than the plants you have already.
Whoa, beautiful! 💚 How do you keep them so healthy?
