WTF IS AN ECONOMY PROGRAM‽‽‽ 📉📉💸💸🇹🇳🇹🇳🐺🐺🤘🏿🤘🏿
Eww... yet another state with imperialist and fascist history that has done many genocides (none of which it has ever acknowledged). And you are proud of that?
Türkiye number one! Türkiye STRONG 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
I wonder how this works in the wild without humans?
hmmmm........ good question
i guess that maybe get atracted to sun glitter that forms in moving(mostly) water in lakes and rivers and such instead of still water?
thats the only reason i see for a bird to have a stronger instinct for shiny things than water, because the shiny thing is the water that is safer to drink
You actually nailed it. Glittering is attractive to all things with eyes because it represents water which is needed for life. Thats why car manufacturers use chrome in specific areas like the logo or a line they want you to notice to attract our lizard brain.
what!? really? is that simple? but shouldnt smell be a bigger factor?
Let me know when you start smelling with your eyes lol
Nwver heard of Smell-O-Vision!?
xD
you know what i meant >.<'
My first thought was bugs and berries looking similar to a marble, but moving water makes a lot of sense. There's for example also cat fountains you can buy, because some cats won't drink the still water in a bowl.
Wild turkeys teach their young, through demonstration, how to forage, and avoid dangers. For a domesticated turkey poult the human takes the role of the parent & teacher. To top it off the wild turkey hasn't lost its instincts through selective breeding like the domesticated turkey.
Maybe it's a learned behavior passed down through generations? I once heard that the reason housecats get stuck in trees is because they weren't taught how to go down (backwards). Could be BS tho
We do this with our dog if she get ill. We know she's not drinking enough water so we but bits of cooked chicken in the bottom of her water bowl. She ends up drinking water accidentally while trying to eat the chicken.
We do ice cubes with our cats
I've tried this with my cats but the ice cube immediately gets shoved under the fridge where it melts.
oh, we had a cat who loved to do that, but they still really needed the help drinking. it was a tip from the vet. we don't do it with all of them and we don't do it all the time. honestly, that cat had the cat kidney/stress disease and anything to get them drinking more made us happy. she usually drank the ice but if we put too much in she played with it like yours. the rest of ours, we usually only did/do it in the summer or when they were nearing the end of their lives and we were trying to superhydrate them to extend their lives.
Are floating ice cubes interesting enough? Also, don't they get brain freeze?
1: yes. they like licking them. also i think cold water tastes better and i love my kitties, so why not give them cold waters in the summer?
2: i don't know i am not fluent in cat. ice cream gives me brain freeze but that ain't stop me from eating it
How long do you leave chicken in the water bowl?
For most dogs I'd assume seconds
I vote the dumbass turkey to be the national bird of the US 🦃 No more eagle for you until you clean up this fucking mess!
Let's get you back to bed Mr. Franklin.
And put some clothes on him dammit
Only if it's full of older women
They are so grateful!!
It almost was our national bird!
Kind of ADHD energy.
Do the same trick but with a caffeinated drink if you have problems with your ADHD children
I gave a ADHD kid under my care coffee once and it was a goddamned nightmare
Look I didn't say you'd like the rest of the effects but it'll get them drinking liquids
Definitely wont regret leaving your baby alone with marbles. Zero chance of disaster.
Nothing can go wrong eating three marbles and going straight to bed ignoring baby
Thanks for reminding me to drink water. I've had a giant tumbler of it on my desk all day and was wondering why my head was starting to hurt.
Explains why they like to vote for christmas too.
