Absolutely insane. I have always read that avocado is toxic to birds and that it was an absolute no to feed to pet birds. Wild that the hawks can handle it!

I am prefacing this by saying that I am known to dislocate my shoulders on a semi regular basis and it usually is not a problem. No pain, goes back on its own.

I can count on one hand how many times I’ve seen them. Never seen them eating, so to see one with a duck would be wild!

The flakes we’re currently getting are pretty pathetic, lol. Most of the stuff on the ground is still unmelted from last weekend’s ice storm, not current accumulation.
