Archer and Quiver are now over a year old, their bond is as strong as ever and they have moved into an outdoor enclosure and are gaining independence and wildness all the time. I wanted to re-share this video to remind us of how far they've come, so that when you see new videos in the next few weeks of their brand new bigger beaver yard and how healthy and strong and large these beavers have gotten, you can be proud of them with me.
Next spring I have no doubt that they will have a smooth transition to the wild, and that's what this work is all about.

Five wildlife facts for $5 Friday!
Did you know everything on this list? I bet if you follow our page you already did!
Send this video to a friend to share the knowledge.
It has been a long long time since we did a $5 Friday, all of our fundraising efforts lately have been going towards the Beaver Ball and building our new Wildlife clinic, but unfortunately that doesn't mean we don't still have day-to-day operating costs including some otter patients with very expensive diets. So if you'd like to send the otters some fish🦦🐟, Bo and the beavers and prickles some apples🦫🍎, and everyone some love, the whole team here at Wild For Life would be very grateful.

Thistle and Briar, two juvenile north American porcupines in rehabilitation here at Wild For Life Inc.
We're still not entirely certain of Thistle's future at the rescue, unlike Briar, she doesn't exhibit an appropriate distrust of humans, despite our best efforts to distance ourselves and foster wild instincts.
Thistle was born here at the rescue, and her mother passed away hours after giving birth, so human caregiving is all she has ever known. Briar came in at only about a week old, but that was enough to have a natural distrust of humans and solid porcupine instincts.
We hope Thistle will develop those instincts as she continues to grow, but if not, we hope the state will grant us the option to create a home for her here as an educational ambassador to be a voice for her species.
If you know me, you know this is a decision that I don't like making, and never take lightly. A wild life is always the first goal, and in eight years of rehabilitation and over 2500 patients we have only taken on 2 permanent wild ambassadors, but sometimes it is the only compassionate choice. Time will tell, in the meantime enjoy snack time with this prickly pair.

Today I posted some orphaned baby pigeons on my story and it sent some people into a state of shock that they are just so goofy looking. So I guess that means it's time to repost this classic video that got millions of views and shocked the Internet the first time with some pigeon facts.
A few years ago I made dozens of videos about pigeons that received millions of views, and it brings me so much joy that the rhetoric around pigeons is changing thanks to videos like these. Videos that help people learn that pigeons are loyal and loving animals who mate for life, that they were our first domesticated companions over 3000 years ago, and have been heroes in human history ever since.
Now instead of my comment sections being full of "pigeons are dirty" or "rats with wings" people are writing love notes to pigeons, and taking notice of their beauty.
That is my biggest pride doing this work is seeing the ripple effect it has and the ability to change millions of minds and hearts to learn and care about animals.
But also pigeons are just really goofy looking.
