Looking for bees in the hellebores. Spicy snacks!

Mumther was stripping bark off an elder branch that looked like a good perch to me.

I have always known what to do about a thirst!

Maybe I hatched with it; maybe it's Maybelline.

Just kidding I definitely hatched with it!

Mumther got scared by the spooky story I told, so I let her hug me.

But then I whispered, "He unfastened the ribbon while she was asleep and her head fell off!" Muah ha ha.
Angelic guineafowl being hugged Same guineafowl, but now he looks like he's posessed and laughing evilly, because his nictitating membrane is over his eye and his mouth is slightly open.

"When the couple got home, they found the hook hanging on the outside passenger door handle…"

My name is Napo because my mumther said that from day 2 of life, I used to stand around looking like Napoleon Bonaparte. But I couldn't be Napoleon because I hadn't gender-revealed yet, and that guy was an imperialist jerk.

Anyway, I still stand like this and I took over the flock, so...
