The useless fact of the day (UFOTD) - Tengmalm's and Great Horned Owls, when recovering food they have stored and finding it frozen, will defrost it before eating it by incubating it like it's an egg.

Ok... gotta ask... How is this source "Ireland"? Something I should know?... or be concerned about?! Is someone in this broke and benighted country getting funding for this?? And, if so, is there any way I can get a gig with them?? Kindly respond with indecent alacrity.
