he's in love...with humanity @claratyler - Tumblr Blog

how it feels to have thoughts and feelings and problems you lowkey can't talk to anyone about

we joke about Tumblr making your brain unable to interact with regular humans, but today I used the phrase “very slow tigers are chasing me” and no one, NO ONE, understood what I meant.

Tumblr is a giant step towards achieving a Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra level of communication.

These are baby zebra finches. They are too young to get food for themselves.

Baby birds are fed by their parents dropping food into their mouths. For some birds these can be small bugs or seeds; for others, their parents grind it up into goo in their gizzards and vomit goo into their mouths. (Some even feed them milk that they make inside their own throats). Most birds have a crop, which is a sort of pouch at the top of their eosophagus where they can hold way more food than what can fit in their stomach at once; they shove a whole bunch of food into their faces and swallow it slowly over time. Normally, a parent would put as much food as they could into these annoying brats' mouths to fill up their crop.

These finches don't have a parent, so their human handler is doing the job with a syringe. When they are a bit older, they will learn to eat by themselves and this will no longer be necessary. Until then, they will be Really Loud And Annoying whenever they are hungry, as is the way of baby birds.
