Birds can’t have bread it’s bad for them like really bad for their digestive system
Saying bread is bad for birds is like saying meat is bad for mammals. It’s clumping thousands of completely different species into one generalization. Different species have completely different diets and metabolisms.
The birds above are chickens, gallus gallus domesticus, which are omnivores. They naturally eat a huge variety of food; grains, insects, fruits, vegetables, grasses, mice, frogs, and just about anything edible they can get their beaks on. Whole wheat bread is actually a great treat for them, it has a fair amount of nutrients and is plenty digestible. Our birds get all kinds of leftovers, just like most backyard chickens, which makes for healthier birds and better eggs.
Bread IS bad for ducks. Ducks aren’t designed to eat it, they need fresh greens and high protein from worms, tadpoles, or fish. It’s also very unhealthy for most song birds in your garden since they are high energy critters. In small quantities a good treat for pigeons, parrots, or corvids (only whole grain bread, no white bread, it’s too sugary). Obviously it’s bad for any raptor.
tHIS IS THE SINGLE MOST BRILLIANT THING I HAVE EVER HEARD I WAS IN HYSTERICS AT 2 CUIL
i find this hilarious considering The Cuil Theory was a popular meme back in 2012, with a similar format as a popular Welcome To Nightvale meme. “weird” posts would usually have an additional reblog with “and now, the weather” in reference to WTNV but for a few months, “weird’ posts would be ended with “i give you a hamburger”. the peak of the meme was around late october of 2012, the actual video itself being published february of 2012.
Reagan was elected in 1980, around the same time that HIV began spreading and turning into a pandemic. Nearly 60,000 cases were reported with more than 27,000 dead before he even mentioned the disease in a major speech, during his second term.
His administration spent years pushing back on requests for funding for treatment and research. It’s impossible to know for certain, but if the disease had been aggressively studied and treated in the early years it might have been contained to a few hundred or few thousand deaths here in the USA.
Also he cut funds for mental health treatment and facilities, turning disabled people out onto the streets, the War on Drugs was cranked up to inner-city warfare, and the fundamentalist Christian “Moral Majority” that was his power base happily watched queers and black people and sex workers and homeless people die alone and scared.
Until Donald Trump was elected, he was the best example of an oblivious wealthy white person riding a wave of bigotry into the White House, and empowering that bigotry to a degree that cost tens of thousands of lives.
TL;DR, he watched us die and didn’t care.
Your yearly reminder that Ronald Reagan’s grave is a gender neutral bathroom.
