Is that corn growing in the background?
Au contraire, mon ami. The question is what’s known as an “ice breaker” - a simple question that’s used to jumpstart a friendly conversation.
But of course, some people are so socially retarded that they’re unable to see this basic conversational device. Social-emotional agnosia can be a beyotch.

My house sparrow fleet (some 30+ strong) has successfully raised a juvenile cowbird that acts like a sparrow and "blends in" with the flock. I'll try to get a picture of it the next time I see it. Also, getting a regular male feeding in the area.
went out to close the chickens in last night n saw another raccoon scurry out of the yard. since the last one bent smth inside the trap i can't use it anymore, so i brought the chicken food inside the house thinkin' that would be enough
i was wrong. i am not smarter than a raccoon
these are my golden buttery matriarch mercury's feathers. she's safe, but he nipped her side n i had to clean her fresh new bald patch with antimicrobial spray before work
next raccoon's getting murdered. i don't care how cute it is

Trash pandas and squirrels are cut from the same cloth. No matter what new idea/device/deterrent you get, those fuckers learn quick!
-spray her with antimicrobial spray this evening while i'm filling the chicken waterers
-try to put her in the small coop because the roos are feistiest first thing in the morning n right before bed
-she comes back outside the coop
-largest rooster in the backyard tries to mount her
i'm gonna spray her periodically with the antimicrobial spray but she's staying in the small coop with the window closed. sucks for her child n it's gonna be hot out tomorrow but fuck sake...
on a completely unrelated note i'm gonna put some excess boys down this weekend

they get blueberries n stuff as a final meal
i'm not a douche abt it when i do it, but i can't have a full size roo tryin' to mount a half-size hen who's recovering from a raccoon attack. there were roos in the coop who didn't defend her either
literally a single mother in there defending her child from a predator n they were like "looks like she got this; i don't wanna get me too'd"
in a lot of ways blonky spoiled me cuz he was the first roo i met n so far the best one i've had in charge of the flock. he woulda ran the big boy off n fucked him up the second he heard mercury squeal
Can you send cartel-style execution videos of it afterwards?
i prefer ISIS style but i agree with the sentiment
taking the opportunity to read up on the material and boy i did not know this classic was that terrorism coded lmfao https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salil_al-Sawarim
So, in other news related to "farm work", my wife watched a baby cardinal fall from it's nest and for hours begged me to put it back. 3 beers later, some Deep Woods Off, rubber dish gloves, and a ladder, the little fucker is back in his/her nest and it's parents didn't reject it. So yay for my wife's feels. Trying to teach a city girl about the circle of life is tiresome, but rewarding when you intervene with nature successfully.
