Wonderful tribute! He was an extraordinary man, and he still was jumping over fences in his 90s! I hope his conservation efforts get taught about in Idaho schools 🐦

I hear you, Jason. In their press release announcing the expanded rollout of these, Amazon said they would work with NYC DOT to install protected bike corrals for them. Some couriers haven’t made the best decisions in where to park them but TBF they aren’t as obtrusive as a full scale UPS truck

Hey Alicia! The voice you hear in the background is Kor Skeete—from Season 1, Episode 1—who was hosting a pre-show trivia round. This video got taken around the time Nathan first arrived but I don’t remember the context of the booing. I think it was something related to one of the trivia questions

Oh wow! That’s an interesting question! You mean from the owl laying on it? I can ask if that’s plausible to some of my experts

This is the most asked question from my story. Unlikely according to Dr. McGraw from MSU:
To me, it is highly unlikely that a shift in diet, such as a pulse of carotenoids consumed by the bird, would be responsible for this coloration. Owls don’t deposit carotenoids in plumage (just in bare parts like legs and bill), and even very high doses of ingested carotenoids should not create the create spatial distribution of color that you see in this bird’s feathers. For comparison, gulls or terns (another bird group where carotenoids are lacking from feathers) thought to ingest high carotenoid doses flush a light pink across much of their white plumage.
