"I know! I'll sneak up behind them, pull their tail feathers, they'll get spooked and leave, and then I can bathe in peace."
Well done, crow. I'm not sure I would have thought of that...
It's more that it gets the one to chase after the other and gets rid of both in one trick. Though I guess whether you believe it was intentional or not is another matter, but given how smart we know they are I choose to believe it.

Is there currently a way to link this without using Youtube? I used FreeTube to play the URL, and hope there is a smoother way to do that.
Is there not a way to have YouTube links open in FreeTube automatically? Seems like that would be the best solution...
I have thing that redirects YT links to Invidious, but it doesn't work so well anymore.
This article appears to show how it can be done.
