Do birds get fat in fall?
Do birds get fat in fall?
I'm talking about the ones that stay in north during winter, not migratory birds. I've noticed that birds like sparrows or tits (yes yes i know funny name) look more rotund in fall, but is that actually fatness or just them fluffing up?

While it may not put on much in the way of body fat, chickadees’ brains gain weight to remember where they hid all their food for winter. This may apply to tits as well since they’re related but I haven’t seen any studies for them specifically.

Just imagine how delighted birds and squirrels would be if introduced to writing and notebooks. We have huge brains yet I can't remember where I left my stuff 5 minutes ago.

Nor can I find where I wrote it down so I wouldn’t forget

What if there were small notepads that were attached to a bracelet thingy (like a watch) so that they were always with you?

I'm pretty sure in about 5 years my short term memory will be so shitty that I'll start forgetting thoughts as I'm having them
