Lol, this is VERY random, but I needed to share this with someone...

 

When I was driving, I saw a bird carrying another bird that looked like it in its claws and flying away from crows, trying to attack the bird in the claws :(

 

Lol, I'm stupid... But seeing this just made me want to cry.... WHYYYY DO I HAVE TO BE SO FREAKING SENSITIVE/EMOTIONAL!?!? Lol.

That sounds so sweet! Probably a young bird. The crows can be soooo mean and attack the baby birds and eggs. I have been known to go after crows and train dogs that like or dont care about birds to chase crows. I know that is just what they are made to do, but they don't have to do it in my yard!

I think you are very sweet to be so concerned, (hey, I cry at the sight of road kill, so I get it)

but Karen is right. It is likely the bird was rescuing it and I am sure they were both fine.

Crows are obnoxious.Loud and rude....and  I shoo them off all the time.

OMG!  I get all upset over road kill too!  I always feel sorry for the poor whatever that gets killed....especially if it's a deer.  And yes, I do like to eat venison but I don't kill them myself.  I'm such a hypocrite....... :wacko:

Crows actually chase hawks away and for that reason I like having them in my trees.  Saw them chase away a small hawk that I believe got one of my baby turkeys.  Hawk hasn't been back.  A few days ago I saw (heard, mostly) a crow way up in the sky dogging an eagle that was perusing the open buffet that is my yard full of chickens.

 

I happily share my chicken treats with the crows. :)

      Rectal pain

      I was suffering from PF just previous to being dx with celiac disease about 25 yr. ago but have not been troubled with it since. Not sure what the connection between the two is of if there is one. But I do know it is a very painful condition that takes your breath away when it strikes.

      Rectal pain

      I have dealt with proctalgia fugax on and off for a year now. It feels almost paralyzing during an episode and they have started lasting longer and longer, sometimes 20+ minutes. I was recently diagnosed with celiac disease and wonder if the 2 are related. I did request a prescription for topical nitroglycerin for my PF episodes and that has helped tremendously...

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions. I assume you are in Ireland or the UK. If it's any good to you ... 9 White Deer based in Cork brew a range of gluten-free products including a gluten-free Stout. I'm not sure if they...

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley...

      Gluten Issues and Vitamin D

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease. Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

I'm not sure if they are certified though. https://www.9whitedeer.ie/ I haven't come across any certified gluten-free stouts this side of the pond.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.
