Bold move claiming a finch can beat an owl on Lemmy...

Lemmings fear and respect the owl.

Looks more like a fly agaric. (Oh god, difficult english words. In german we just call it a fly mushroom.)

What if I have seen one before? Is it then some other type of bird? 🤔

Thanks for the heads up. I would like to subscribe to the animal release notes

Edit: oh I read this wrong and thought this guy was notifying us of a new type of bird

Missed opportunity to name it "Flying Amanita"
