OT: The little hedgehog that felt poorly - det lille pindsvin, der havde det skidt

Last summer this for it's age very small hedgehog was a frequent guest in my McBirdie, and he of course needed something else than seeds on the menu. Click on the photos to enlarge them.
Sidste sommer kom dette for sin alder meget lille pindsvin som en hyppig gæst i min McBirdie, og der måtte naturligvis andet end frø på menuen. Klik på billederne for at forstørre dem. 

The first time I saw him in right before noon, and that's almost always a sign of distress, because hedgehogs are nocturnal. He was not reacting normally, was so exhausted or ill, that he didn't even curl up, like a hedgehog normally would do when touched.
Den første dag jeg så ham var lige inden middag, og det er som regel altid tegn på nød når et nataktivt dyr færdes om dagen. Han reagerede ikke normalt, var så udmattet eller syg, at han ikke engang rullede sig sammen, som et pindsvin normalt gør ved berøring.

I grabbed some cat food and served it, he ate and ate, and he drank some fresh water too.
Jeg serverede straks noget kattevådfoder, og han spiste og spiste og drak frisk vand til.

Completely exhausted he fell asleep only a few steps from the food, out in the open, but in the shade, another clear sign he wasn't feeling well. At this point I was pretty convinced that he wouldn't make it, watched over him and waited.

Hey you, for a human you are kind of OK...

But he woke up late afternoon - and he looked much more chipper. He ate another huge dish of food and drank some more water..
After a while he searched towards denser vegetation - but first he pooped a bone dry poop, maybe he had stomach problems.
Men han vågnede op sidst på eftermiddagen - og så nu langt mere kvik ud. Han åd endnu en stor skål foder og drak mere vand.

Snart søgte han over mod tættere vegetation - men først kom han af med en stenhård og stor klump afføring, måske havde han ondt i maven.

Later the same evening he came back, but this time Findus thought - geez a tiny hedgehog can't possibly eat all that - and felt it was very unfair that he weren't allowed to eat the food.
Senere samme aften kom han igen. Men Findus tænkte: Sådan et lille pindsvin kan ikke æde så meget - og han syntes, det var vildt uretfærdigt, at han ikke måtte spise det.

We saw him frequently the rest of the summer, and eventually later and later in the evening. He had his own "table" in the restaurant.
Resten af sommeren så vi ham ofte, og efterhånden kom han senere og senere om aftenen. Han havde sit eget "bord" i restauranten.

OT: The Fallow deer - dåhjorten

Today I have an off topic post for you!
I run a very busy and extremely popular fast food restaurant. Families from far away come for an easy and delicious meal, and during summer it's sometimes very crowded, when 2-300 guests dine at the same time.
Unfortunately it's not a profitable business, because the customers forget to pay, but the joy of watching them is payment enough.
The name of the restaurant is McBirdie, and on the menu you find several kinds of seeds, fresh water, nuts, egg food etc. The guests wear feathers in all kinds of colors - they are birds!
I easily can serve more than 5-6 kilograms of seeds every day during the breeding season, so that's expensive, too expensive, I really could need a sponsor LOL
From time to time I get very unusual customers - the biggest customer ever (in size) is a young male Fallow deer, that visits McBirdie every night, and I know because our wildlife surveillance camera takes tons of photos of him when it's dark. A fallow deer is with it's mum the first year, but when she has her new calf the following year, it has to "move out"!
The other evening he was kind enough to arrive around 10, so I took around 200 photos of him through the window.

I dag har jeg et off topic indlæg til jer!
Jeg driver en meget travl og ekstremt populær fastfood restaurant. Familier kommer langvejs fra for at nyde et lækkert og let måltid, og i sommermånederne er der sommetider trangt, når 2-300 gæster spiser på samme tid.
Desværre er det ikke en rentabel forretning, fordi kunderne glemmer at betale, men glæden ved at iagttage dem er betaling nok!
Restaurantens navn er McBirdie, og på menuen er der forskellige slags frø, frisk vand, nødder, æggefoder mv. Gæsterne er klædt i fjer i alle mulige farver - de er fugle.
Jeg kan let servere 5-6 kilo frø om dagen i yngletiden, det er dyrt - for dyrt, så jeg kunne god bruge en sponsor :)
Fra tid til anden får jeg mere usædvanlige gæster - og den største (i hvert fald i størrelse) kunde jeg hidtil har haft, er en ung dåhjort, der i tiden besøger McBirdie hver nat. Han har sikkert gået sammen med sin mor, hvilket kalve af dåvildt gør det første år, men når hun sætter kalv igen, så må man lære at stå på egne ben!
På nedløbsrøret på garagen kan du se et vildtkamera, der også tager billeder om natten, så jeg har mange fotos af ham, men den anden aften kom han allerede ved 22 tiden, så jeg fik taget godt 200 fotos af ham gennem vinduet i køkkenet.

He is licking his mouth :) - han slikker sig om munden :)

   

The wildlife surveillance camera took this and many others the same evening. Vildtkameraet tog dette og mange andre i det samme tidsrum.

QUESTION: Do you want more OT Saturday posts (mostly animals) during July?

SPØRGSMÅL: Kunne du tænke dig flere OT lørdagsindlæg (mest om dyr) her i juli?
