Fun little video. Curious to see how video links are being handled across apps.

From World Bird Sanctuary

Trevor, the Eurasian eagle owl, became very alert when he realized a staff member had come into his area. Birds can adjust the position of their feathers, and this is one of the best ways to understand what a bird is thinking. Reading bird body language is very important to help keep our birds comfortable and happy. Trevor went from very relaxed to very alert when an unexpected person appeared. Alert does not necessarily mean upset though. Trevor begins hooting at the end of the video because it is one of his favorite trainers.

    Eh, just shows up as a link with no thumbnail in Summit and Boost.

    Worse on the web I think.

    Boo. 🫤

        It does. Rather nicely in fact! I haven’t checked on Voyager in a bit, so thanks for the heads up.

        Part of me wants video content to show quick things like this, but another part of me is glad video content is clunky. I don’t want posts everywhere that are just a video clip. We already have YouTube, and it seems lazy like just posting a link to an article with nothing new added.

          2 second clip. Probably less bandwidth than an equivalent animated gif, so I think you’re good. That was cool!

      I wonder what it feels like to have muscle control like that.

      It probably wouldn’t look as impressive to raise my arm and leg hair like that though! 😔

    So, startled but then realized it was treat time?

      It does sounds like when a pet knows you’re about to walk through the door. So not necessarily food coming, but something positive anyway. 😁

        Either they bring the treats or they give the best scritches. Quite probably both.
