Blue is always getting pushed. Migratory birds put on fat before the flight to have the energy required for the journey and hibernating species do the same so they can afford to eat very little during winter.

Plus lots of animals like polar bears both put on fat and become dormant.
That must be a very delicate balance since it must expend more energy to fly if the bird is heavier.
But I remember hearing about the amazing migratory flights of some small birds that they conquer in under two days, which would imply they were flying 35mph nonstop with no breaks. So it must be working well for them.

They become pretty fat, so the energy storage outweighs the increased consumption. I can always tell when they are about to leave because they are significantly round.

I misread fat as hat, but that would work too

Adapt, migrate, or die.

I’ve never understood why humans migrated to cold areas.

“Uh, won’t that be a little challenging?”

It was a series of families moving beyond the land they knew because they were pushed out by other families. The response to your discussion would be “Because I don’t want to get stabbed in the face by Kenny.”
Meh, I seem to be an animal that keeps working 9-5, barely sees the sun for 2 months, and burns shit tonnes of fossil fuels to make up for the heat and light.

Adapt, migrate, or die.
Can I do all three?
That’s just a person taking a vacation, and letting themselves go.
It’s true. I can’t afford the middle option but I’m doing the two others.
I go with dormant and fat myself.
Same, maybe I should check out the yellow button.
I lose hair, have no feathers, but will accumulate fat. So at least that’s going for me…
Just wear a jacket jeezzzz

Fuck Kenny, all my homies hate Kenny.

“What about the rest of the year?”
