Why can an owl rotate its head almost 360 degrees? Let's see if the owl cognoscenti know this one!
To watch out for turkey ambushes. I would guess that there eyes are fixed so the need to move there head?
They have very limber necks is why. The question is -- why do they need to?This. The owl's head is so stuffed full of eyes that there is no room for eye muscles.We had a lot of banties when I was growing up. My sister named some of them. Bad idea, since my sister gave them the same love she did the horses, and a brace of banties make a fair dinner. Two were named Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. Macbeth was an atypical rooster in that he didn't like most of the hens in the flock. He had no problem with other roosters in the henhouse. He did have a thing for Lady Macbeth though, and she returned his affection. They were paired like geese instead of chickens, and as long as the other residents didn't mess with his lady, Bantytown was a happy place. Mac and the missus liked to wander into the house and roost on the mantle clock, which sat between statues of Jesus and the Virgin Mary. The birds would nap up there side-by-side -- for no longer than half an hour at a time. When the chimes went off every half-hour, those two birds would literally hit the ceiling, squawking and flapping like they were being attacked by a skunk. They'd sulk around on the floor all outraged and fluffed up for a few minutes and then return to their perch -- until next time -- like clockwork, you might say. Every half-hour the chimes were a complete surprise, and after every episode they'd set up for the rinse and repeat.
The "Southern Cross" is "in the same part of the sky" at midnight in June and in December, but it's not in the same place, and not in the same orientation. In June, the "Southern Cross" is on one side of the South Celestial pole, oriented one way, and in December, it's on the other side of the South Celestial Pole oriented 180 degrees from its June position. It's like our "Little Dipper" that contains "Polaris". You can see it every single night of the year, at any time, in "the same place", but not in the same orientation as it moves around the pole star ...So it's not like it's not moving - it's close enough to the South Pole in the sky so that you can always see it and it never sets ....Lannis
I can tell you know what you're talking about ....
Recipe for tough game birds:After cleaning and plucking or vice versa. Have tomatoes, onions, garlic, potatoes in the portions that you want and at least one green papaya. Clean and prep all veggies for cutting. Chunk cut all veggies. Chunk cut up fowl. Place in pot. Add veggies. Add water to level of stuff in the pot. Put cover on. Bring to a boil. Lower heat to lowest setting and simmer. Taste broth. Add Salt & pepper to taste. Let simmer for at least an hour. The green papaya is used like a squash. The papain in the papaya will tenderize the meat. You could stuff all of the mess into a slow cooker. Works for pork too. Serve with green toss salad and your favorite carb.
STOP! Leave it right there, don't say another word .... Lannis
I rolled over, looked at the clock, thought about this post and wondered why Humans are the only one of God's creatures that worry about time. I mean the dog or the cat could care less, just feed me and let me out to pee.
Americans love to customize things...the English language, for example.
I can tell you know what you're talking about, but I'm a fair way from getting a grasp
I have often wondered why when I fart I usually don't sheet my pants?
I knew this would come full circle back to soap eventually.
Hold your coffee mug in your left hand, straight out to the side. Now, climb out of your left ear, walk along your arm, climb down into the coffee mug and look out the window in the bottom at your shoes. Six months later, transfer the coffee mug to your right hand and hold it straight out again. Climb out of the sun's right ear, walk along the arm, and down into the coffee mug earth to look out the same Australian window, and you can still see your shoes. When you look at the Southern Cross, you are essentially looking "down" in relation to the Earth's orbit around the sun. You're not looking out radially along the plane of the orbit. Does this help?Howard
