As it so happens, I’m sitting in my backyard right now, soaking up the rare sunshine, and there are about 20 American Robins running around on my lawn, hunting worms. I just saw one pull a huge worm out of the ground about 2 feet away from me. It’s really neat watching them. They run along the grass until they hear something, then they cock their head, putting their ear closer to the ground, then they attack with all the force their little 2 ounce bodies can muster, and yank the worm right out of the ground.
Edit: I got an okay picture for you of one of them listening, but it won’t let me upload it for some reason. I’ll try on a fresh comment.
Edit 2: yeah, it won’t let me. Bummer. The server probably updated again or something.
That sounds ever so like a UK song thrush or blackbird - and yes, fun to watch!
On posting pictures in replies (or indeed at all), i find I have to use the raw Lemmy website rather than the Alexandrite overlay. Might that be your issue?
I tried using 2 different apps and the mobile site. I’m able to post picture comments elsewhere, so idk what the problem is. It gives some sort of invalid json character error on this thread only.
