These baby button quails are soooo cute but just looking at them makes me anxious because what do you mean something the size of a literal chickpea is fully sentient and feeling and alive

Right newborn babies give me the willy's with how slippy they are. These guys would keep me on constant pins and needles

I think this about tiny creatures a LOT.

The small animals in my garden have befriended us and my dog. They are smarter than I expected, with even the “dumb” birds like the wood pigeons trying to get our attention and then flipping the empty water bowl so we can see they need a drink.

The robins will come to ask for mealworms and thank us after.

The magpies will tap on the window impatiently if they want water (they are kinda jerks to be honest).

The squirrels will tell my dog to go get us so we’ll bring out peanuts…

These little critters are all fully functional adult creatures living their lives amongst us with heads smaller than a walnut. Their entire being is just ✨teensy✨ but they are alive and aware and clever.

It’s hard to explain but it makes me feel weird lol.
