@why-animals-do-the-thing what the heck?
This is priceless. Fur is a great nest-building material. Normally, birds get it from snags on branches or (maybe, I’m not sure) dead animals. I know some people who actually put out a bird-feeder full of hair for the birds after they brush out their dog, specifically so that it can be turned into nesting material.
This is a very brave birb who has learned where it comes from and just decided to go get some from the source, and a dog who is probably too asleep to care.

Officially the only good post on tumblr
I’ve been planning to teach students how to describe videos and write transcripts and I shall save this post for this very purpose.
Sharing for the perfect transcript.

Always hang your cat up to dry after a bath.

I’M CRYING LOOK WHAT MY CAT DID IN HER SLEEP
Blep blep blep
CATS ARE SO WEIRD
Oh my god. This is too cute.
My best guess is that it’s a motor pattern involved in a dream the cat is having - probably either grooming behavior or drinking. Either way, awwwwww.

this is the best video in the entire planet it made me happy when i was crying and sad
