I have an eagle roost in one of the Douglas Fir trees in my yard. Lots of eagle feathers, poops, dropped snacks every year. Two years ago they dismembered a duck and spread the unpleasant parts all over my lawn. Duck feet are odd.

That is either good luck and your world is going to change for the better, or it is bad luck and you will be miserable and afraid, at the edge of sanity for the rest of your life.

It's a warning and a threat. Lock your windows tonight extra tight.

I once found a dog leg in my back yard. It was incredibly disturbing not only cuz it's a fucking dogs leg, but it looked exactly like my dog's leg. I had to run to her and make sure she was okay. No clue where it came from. I had privacy fences at the time and the neighbors didn't have any white dogs. maybe a hawk or something?

It will grant you three wishes but in ways that turn out to be unexpected and tragic

But can we try and guess the animal?

Judging by the overall size, number of toes and orientation of bones; Closest I can get is "a small rodent", probably a juvenile based on the lack of fur, and pink colour.

Most likely a Rat or a Squirrel, probably not a mole with those claws..

Just guesstimating here

Edit: Here's a picture of a baby Squirrel, those back feet look pretty similiar

Definitely too short toes to be a Rat

Edit 2: My guess is that a bird snatched a baby Squirrel and either had to fight another bird for the loot and dropped some while they were at it, or the bird was interrupted while dining and dropped some of their meal while trying to relocate.

When I was like 12 a friend of mine found a whole horse leg, with the ankle and all, it was so bizarre to flail it around like a mace on a chain.

Someone ended up yeeting it at another friend and we kinda all realized how gross it is at that moment, left it where we found it and moved on.

This is really one of those things that makes absolutely no sense to me. I understand not screwing with the birds, but a can't even have one of my countries national birds feathers I found on the ground which rightfully makes it mine? Come on now

The Migratory Bird Treaty Act and state laws make it illegal to kill, capture, possess (actual bird or parts of, including feathers), harass, or harm any bird of prey.

Probably because as soon as people start wearing or collecting eagles' feathers it'll have people start thinking about killing them to sell the feathers. It's sick but it would definitely happen.

They are protected; tribal members can keep them. I believe you can get permission through the local tribe or US Attorney to keep them. Most of the feathers here are tail feathers pulled out by rude gangs of crows.

I hope the rest of the baby squirrel is doing much better than the foot.

The issue is while there's no solid reason to specifically stop people from collecting feathers that fall off birds or other body parts that come from animals that either died naturally or didn't die at all there's no easy way to separate it from the ones that did.

I was uneasy for at least a week or two. I put it in a zip lock bag and threw it in my garbage can. The trash truck didn't come for a few more days. Every day I was thinking someone would find it and accuse me of maiming their dog or something. Like should I have called the cops? Do I put up posters saying "found your dog....kinda" ? I really had no clue what to do in that situation.

That squirrel didn't pay his debts.

"Deez Nutz" were his last words.
