[Original Video] Doesn't this lil' ball of a chick have a fear response?

Today I was walking back home and found this extremely round child (Mimus saturninus, I'm pretty sure) waddling in the middle of the street like there weren't cars whizzing past him every few seconds. I rushed in to get him out and not only did he allow me to approach, he hopped on my hand and displayed feeding behavior like I was his parent coming to feed him.

I took a few pictures because he was just too cute and left him under some bushes on the sidewalk, but then I started wondering. He's obviously a fledgling, and yet he was utterly unfazed by the cars and the being 50x his size approaching and trying to pick him up. I searched around a bit for information on how/when birds develop fear responses to see if this is normal behavior but couldn't find much.

Does anyone know if this is expected or if there's something odd about him?

(More pictures in comments.)

Does anyone do the Tahoe work commute?

There’s a job up there I want to apply for. Rent is too expensive up the hill.

I’d love to hear from anyone currently doing the Sac → Tahoe commute. How many days a week are you commuting, and how stressful/manageable has it been?

Also, what’s your commute like - driving, Amtrak or a combination? Would you recommend it?

(Credit to the sac->sf commuter post for reminding me to ask)

Question about TSA confiscation

Is there an auction website people use for collecting their EDC stuff?

Govdeals.com is a little vague on what’s in the knife lots.

Male Ruffed Grouse filmed drumming to attract a mate.

A male ruffed grouse drums from his log in the spring forest, beating his wings so rapidly to produce a deep thumping sound that can be heard up to 400 meters (a quarter mile) away, both attracting females and warning rival males to stay clear of his territory.

When a female moves in close, he switches to quieter close range tapping. After mating, the female raises the young entirely on her own.
