30 On-The-Nose Facts That Many Of Us May Feel Stupid For Not Realizing Earlier

But... Smell?

Their vision is also much more movement-sensitive than ours, and they struggle to see stationary objects. Especially cats.

Their 'smell zone' is 1,000,000 times better than their sight zone. They will smell things long before they can see them!

Feed your SO a piece of their fave food and watch them stare at either you (uummmph ummpz, good for you) or the spoon - ("So into this, but starving!).

I'm pretty sure these guys don't give a good grief..they are just fine..

If it can sit on your finger, it's a fledgling. Put it in a tree or bush, the parents are still caring for it. If it's nakey put it in a box/makeshift nest in a tree if you can't find the nest and the parents might find it. Extremely low survival rate if you try to "save it" by feeding it or trying for a wildlife rescue. Unless it's an endangered species they're not going to care about a little robin or sparrow baby. The parents might even try to attack you. Naked birds found on the ground are often sick or were pushed out by siblings (birds are brutal, sorry)

It's true of some mammals, so I guess someone just applied it to birds. But few birds have much sense of smell.

Is this true for other animals too? Like baby bunnies? I remember being a kid and our dog brought us a baby bunny (unharmed) and we had to get a paper plate and a new sponge to gently push it on to the plate to take it back to its nest (do they live in nests? Not sure what to call it) under our tree. Was that unnecessary? Hmm… TIL but probably not bad that I grew up not touching baby animals, leaving them in peace.

Oh, that's good to know

Birds can't smell

Kind of misleading to have 'u pet' in the name, lol. "Aw, I have to pet this porcupette. OWWW!"

It sounds like a rockabilly band or burlesque dancer.

My Mum suffers from alopecia, so she got her hair shaved off. It’s growing back slowly, and I sent this to her just as a fact, and she said “ it’s me “ - ngl, this matches her hair right now. 🤣🤣

Omg they are adorable!

They have skunk faces.

One of the best concepts to learn if you have to work with percentages

Bit sad if you're personally offended by this thread.

Wow. Fun page with incredibly sensitive OPs. Just read the s**t, people. It's entertainment, not Truth in its Final Form. People always trying to make something out of nothing.

Cool, je n'y avais jamais pensé !

I've been told that when you call emergency services you should start by saying your location in case the call drops out. I'm not sure if this is true but it sounds like good advice to me.

And in case you DONT KNOW. where you are, get the” what three words” app that has 3 words to describe 3 sq meters location wherever you might be on the planet . It’s awesome

I don't know how far the rollout has got, but a system exists for a mobile phone to transmit its location to the emergency services when you make an emergency call. However, it is safest not to assume that they know where you are and tell them, preferably at the start of the call in case you get cut off.

In my defense, i had just been shot and wasn't thinking coherently.

Nyc paramedic here. That is not true. We know exactly were you are. Even if you hang up after. We're coming to you!

We have a 14 and 17 year old cat. They both love milk. We asked our vet about it and she said as long as it wasn't causing severe stomach problems and vomiting, it was just fine to give it to them. The 14 year old one will sit in the kitchen and cry as dramatically as she can till you give her milk. It really just depends on your cat and checking with your vet.

Why you can buy cat milk and that's lactose free, my cats also adore my oat milk. It's thicker than cat milk and I make my own and one of my cats goes wild when he sees I'm making it!

But they stil love it.

Water is what they drink outside. So give them that at home..

And letting them outside they become part of the food chain.

In all fairness, English is a confusing language. (Their/they’re/there, your/you’re, etc.)
