@skeh @patterfloof If we had more of these posts, it'd be a murder I tell you...
@skeh it is my sad duty to inform everyone that your picture is of a corn crake baby, and crow babies are not quite as fluffy, although they are cutely awkward!
@Vierkantor @skeh that's a fledged juvenile. The babies are much worse looking
@Vierkantor huh, I thought it was a rail chick (unless corn crake is a regional name thing?)
@Auri A corn crake is in the rail family so it could be! But the chicks of rail species in my part of the world look slightly different, especially their toes are longer and slightly webbed so my guess is still corn crake.
@Auri also: rail chick (girl who likes trains)

@Vierkantor Ooh, neat. That makes sense 😁

Thank you for the wisdom!

@skeh Just don't let it hatch! Unless you want constant fur-pdates.
@skeh my eepy brains first thought:
We could shorten this to "Mycroft"
@skeh he looks like he’s already planning world conquest
