Dug up an old video of rats of mine chasing the camera I was filming them with, added some royalty free music in order to share it with others.

So, I moved into a new apartment in mid April, and eventually, pigeons started building a nest on my balcony. So I got into contact with a local club dedicated to city pigeons asking for fake eggs. However, while they initially signaled wanting to help, I never got more from them than that single eMail, and while I was waiting and hoping that would change, weeks passed and not only got I eggs but eventually two squabs. I did add some chicken wire to this gap between the deck and the balustrade of the balcony so neither the eggs nor the young hatchlings would fall down, and I did provide some grain based bird feed and a bowl of water which the parents accepted instantly and the squabs took to the water at about two weeks old, and to the food at about three weeks. I myself don't own a camera - the pictures here were taken when they were about five weeks old, just a few days before first the grey one and then several days later the black one were able to fly. Both these hatchlings and the parents keep returning to my balcony, which, by now, I have cleaned of pigeon poop and put down some outdoor plastic foil. Since then, no new nesting attempts.

Just another casual survey with categories for a Family Feud style experience. All questions are optional!

The google form also includes a link to a video for having a Family Feud style game night at home with friends with the results from my first survey of this kind - and more of these will come in the next couple of weeks.

Also, I do intend to close my survey on survey layout ( https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfHKwk7b3JYTWcChX0LzV0p_XLigDa__iC_LNL6VKmt9OgyUQ/viewform ) after the weekend and publish the results a couple days later.

This is about the layout of answer options in scientific surveys, specifically scales with ranges of agreement. All questions are optional, including those about demographics. Demographics are asked for to see whether there are any differences in preferences or not.

I do intend to publish the results here.
