nnhhh I tried braining a mouse with a pushpin for my bp last week in hopes of tempting him to take it (new source, he’s not convinced it’s food yet) and the skull was so thin and crunchy and the feeling stuck with me very vividly and now I’m getting intrusive thoughts re: my bird’s equally thin and crunchy skull and it’s a Bad Time folks

i collected a very very very dead squirrel today… but the skeleton’s amazingly intact! head and all four limbs and look at that gorgeous spine! after a month or two more of decomp i might have a complete enough skeleton to articulate, i’m very hopeful.

all that remains of a little wood thrush i found under a bridge last summer. i put it in a dirt pot wrapped in newspaper, and the newspaper totally melted away along with most of the ribs. the incredible smallness and delicacy of bird bones is always amazing to see: the skull is only about an inch long. the leg bones are as fine as toothpicks and the wings are even daintier… i’ll post a better photo of the bones later when the peroxide’s brightened them up.
Our most beloved Father 🙏
Just a little self-reblog cause I love everything about this photoset…
