One of our very sweet trained songbirds that loves Sarah so much!

This bird is one of our “wild type” birds that we use for productions looking for backyard birds/ wildlife, often a bird in a tree or at a bird feeder

Meet Roo — not just any opossum, but a professional animal actor 🐀🎬 and a fantastic ambassador for her species

Roo helps break myths about opossums every day, whether she’s on set, at an event or school.

Most people don’t know:
💡 Opossums don’t carry rabies — their body temp is too low!

“Playing dead” (thanatosis) is involuntary — it’s actually a defense mechanism.

Opossums are immune to most snake venom, including rattlesnakes and copperheads.

Our resident pack of coyotes playing on my hillside.

The video cuts off before you see the fifth one. I think I’m going to put a ruler out there where they pass because that one coyote is huge. I’d really like to get a size on him. Comparing him next to items I walk with my 80 pound Labrador, he’s about the same height and length. Possibly a little longer. I think this coyote is easily in the 50 # range which is really big.
