Baby African crowned crane gets a new pair of booties

By far the cutest news of the day containing two very sweet photographs. This tiny fluffeh chick suffered from the problem of curled feet (bird toes?) and being a member of a vulnerable species the tiny birdie needed help. Of course, the action required the zoo keepers to make tiny bird slippers out of green bandages, n'aaaaaw. ‘The chick is doing very well and the park keepers take it for walks to strengthen those legs. ‘We were delighted when one hatched. So the keepers are now full-time mums with two hourly feeds and giving some much needed tender loving care to this little one.’’-Metro added by: Mcellie

Billings, Montana police take on duty of delivering medical pot when parcel services won’t

BILLINGS – The conflict between state and federal laws over the legality of medical marijuana is forcing some law enforcement officers to take on the unwelcome duty of delivering pot that caregivers attempt to ship through a parcel service. Over the past year, the Billings Police Department has received an increasing number of calls from FedEx and UPS workers who discover packages containing what appears to be legal medical marijuana. A police investigator must then pick up the package, make phone calls to determine whether it is a legal product produced by a medical marijuana caregiver who is registered with the state and notify the distributor to retrieve the shipment. All that can add up to several hours of police time. Then, the caregiver may not pick up their product, saddling the cops with returning the marijuana to them personally. “We don't want to be in the middle as a broker,” said Billings Police Chief Rich St. John. “We're wasting a lot of time investigating and looking into legitimate businesses.” http://missoulian.com/news/state-and-regional/article_9313965c-8703-11df-be7c-00… added by: JackHerer
