hi granny, flaming is like a big burn on someone, a flame war is something that happens online , often when someone is trolling..troll means they say inflammatory thing,s just to get everyones feathers all flying.. and that starts a flame war ...
Being online for some people is like a costume party. People get rude fast. also no body language to read to see if its just a terrible joke or meant to be offensive.
Forums are scary places where this happens lots. So far this place seems ok .
that hound is gorgeous..lol..face of a police dog..classic. !
we had a small kestrel sit in our oak tree every day one spring, but he didnt try to take the girls,( they were twice his size) felt very uncomfortable though. That was the same year a lone white pigeon moved in with them too..bought his girlfriend back the next year and she looked at him like he was bonkers and they left.
It never ceases to amaze me how hardy these chickens are, so delicate but such a strong survival instinct.
So glad you rescued your bird.
