help!

I set out the dish of water under a big tree for a nesting american robin who’s been panting in the Oklahoma summer heat, but this one has been a few times to drink. Is the dish bringing dangerous attention to the yard where the robin is nesting?

Is there anyway I can do a DIY peel and stick tile or fake tile situation over the blue tiled bathroom walls? I’ve seen videos of people doing peel-and-stick floors over tiles, and I’ve seen it on kitchen backsplashes, but never on tiles covering the wall like this. It would also need to be rental friendly, so preferably no need for grouting (I’ve seen stick on “tiles” that are fake grouted). Or, can grout be removed easily? I have no idea how that works, lol. Is it feasible to redo this blue tiled bathroom, as a renter, without damaging the original tiles?

EDIT: Okay okay, I get it, people like the bathroom as is 😂 - NO this is not rage bait, something just felt so off in the bathroom- I do think that I have a bigger issue with the floors paired with the walls than the walls alone. Everyone who commented about decor is right, I could definitely lean into the vibe with decor and love the walls, but that seafoam green floor tile in the opposite pattern of the walls really throws me off. I literally know NOTHING about diy tiling, so I will do a boatload of research and won’t do a thing if I could genuinely damage the original tiles (or care about my security deposit)

help! I found this little one in my yard after my dog went after it (just sniffing, nothing aggressive). My yard is completely fenced in, I have no idea how it got into my yard. It must’ve found a way under the fence somehow. There are two giant ponds pretty close by in my neighborhood, with a creek connecting the two ponds and running throughout the side of the neighborhood where I live. There’s tons of turtles, ducks, geese, swans, etc around the ponds and creeks. We have had a TON of rain, which makes me think this little one went adventuring when it was wet and ended up in my yard.

What should I do?? Should I take it out of my backyard and just put it in the front yard, or to the pond/creek in, or let it be and hope it can find its way out of my fenced back yard? I’m worried it won’t be able to get out or would get attacked by my neighbors dogs (3/6 neighbors I share a fence with have dogs) or my dog, if I think the turtle founds its way out but it’s actually hiding somewhere and my dog finds it.

Is there any chance it was a pet that was dumped?? I don’t even know what type of turtle it is, or how old it is. I know nothing about turtles or tortoises. I hope this is okay to be in this sub, I just searched for a turtle sub to hopefully ask people who are more educated in this area.
