A world without bird and/or mammal, fish and reptile rehabilitators would be a very sad one.

Waterbirds feed their young fish. In summary: unless you’re a cow or a human, cow’s milk is always a bad idea.

Whilst catfish have around 100,000 taste buds, rabbits around 17,000 and humans approximately 9,000, birds rarely exceed 100 of these receptors. Let’s talk about taste.
