How does the lower bird have the spare lift to carry another bird on top? And how big a stack of birds could you make...?

Sooo many of these images don't display on my browser (firefox). Is it a geographic region thing?

That's too bad.
I use Firefox on a Mac OS (all modern). And they work for me.
"I only see a message about disabling tracking protection, but you can click on it to go to the tweet."
I get a similar message for lots of Facebook reposts:
if it were pictures, I would use a screenshot, which would void the problem, but I can't do that for a video, which twitter has a lot of.

Not that it surprised me even a bit.

In Japan, a team of researchers conducted an experiment involving 34 dogs. The results were amazing. Food containers were placed in front of the animals, but only some contained treats. In the first round, the test leader pointed to a container with food, but in the second round, he pointed to an empty container. When he again pointed the dogs out to a container with treats in the third round, the majority of the four-legged friends were skeptical and did not react: their trust in the test leader was violated by the previous deception. A recent study also seems to show that dogs can even tell when a person is not behaving properly toward their master. In one experiment, the animal companions observed an interaction between their owner and an unknown person. In it, the dog owners asked for help opening a container, with the response of the other person varying: some helped immediately, others ignored the request, and still others actively refused. Afterward, the test subjects offered the participating dogs a reward. In the first two cases, they accepted the treats, but the fur noses consistently refused the food of the person who refused to support their owner.

... so if a dog is actively avoiding a certain person, you might want to trust their instincts.

Although this is a bit tricky, since dogs also can and do adapt to their owner in their behaviour: if the owner is actively avoiding/hostile to certain person (or, as more often happens around here: certain groups) then the dog will do so too, leading to sayings like 'even my dog knows they are nothing good'fresh_42 said:

Here is a nice picture of a thylacine. Most are of poor quality.
This predator is often called a marsupial wolf or tiger (because of it's stripes).
It is usually considered extinct though some hold out hope for its continued existence in places like Tasmania.
