I forget why, but they swim up currents- like carp or salmon.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

That's really, really weird.

[godbent]

It's just the animal's instinct. [She sighs and shakes her head. But this is a weird discussion question]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Smack me if I try to pee near a water source.

[godbent]

Same here! Don't need to tell me twice.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Frogs are dangerous here, though?

[godbent]

Yeah, certain tree-frogs - [She tuts her finger here - and important lesson!] as a rule of thumb with small animals, the more colorful it is, the more poisonous it is.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

How poisonous are we talking?

[godbent]

Ranging anywhere from "get sick" to "die in an hour or two"

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

No touching colorful animals. Got it.

[godbent]

Yeah, exactly! [...And now she thinks about it. What else has she heard/does she know? Nothing that real experts didn't already cover... sigh]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Too bad they won't come down. I would have liked to see one.

[godbent]

[She glances up too, grinning a bit]

It is, but they might as be in another world. Dozens of meters off our ground is their ground floor.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

That's a strange thought. I wonder if it's nice up there.

[godbent]

It must be, if the birds like it, right?

["different world." ...No let's not dwell on that.]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I bet it's bright, and warm - but not suffocating like down here.

[godbent]

It's got to be hot though. And windy.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

But that's perfect for flying, isn't it?

[godbent]

Well, true. I just think about nesting up there.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

I'm sure they've adapted. Do you know what kind of birds live here? I didn't read about much in the area of wildlife.

[godbent]

There's literally hundreds, probably thoughts if you count other worlds.

[Simply]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Enough to make your head hurt.

[godbent]

That's right! After all, rainforests are where a good chunk of the world's animals are from the rainforests.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

I didn't figure there would be so many.

[godbent]

[...Pffffthahaha]

Well consider it a lesson!
