So, I just went to get a pan off my hanging kitchen rack to make some food, and found what looks extremely like bird poop? I don't own a bird. I have in the past had an occasion where my (previous)dog brought in an unconscious bird that woke up in the house, but I haven't seen as much hunting instinct in the current dog( though he *is* half pointer, which is certainly a bird-dog), and if this is the case, somehow the bird must have both entered and left through the dog door while I was at work( unless he caught it again and swallowed it whole, or there's a nasty surprise waiting for me in some hidden corner...). Anyone else have any thoughts on this? #AskMastodon #Weird #WTF #AnimalBehavior
