Fur, Feathers, and Scales: The Biology of Domestication, Thursday, Period 2 [10/18].
Sidon was having quite the week, it would seem, which was nice, as he felt he could easily say the same about the last week. In addition to being a good big brother by taking care of Norman, he now also got to take his duties as a teacher's assistant to the next level by running Zack's class today! To say that he was excited would be, of course, an understatement, and he hoped he did a good job, especially considering that there hadn't been any lesson plans for him and he was going to make something up on the spot.
Naturally, it would have made sense to do something on the Scales side of the class, something with fish or maybe take inspiration from Norman and do something with crabs.
But of course that wasn't what he was going to do.
"Cuccos!"
Chickens, Sidon. They were called chickens. And he had gathered them all up from the coop on the roof of the shelter into a crate, brought them to the classroom, opened up the crate and let them out into the world and onto the class, chuckling proudly.
"Greetings, everyone! Zack is, unfortunately, unable to make it to class today on account of him having fur and paws that he's not quite accustomed to having, and so I hope you'll not be too disappointed that I shall be stepping up to teach the class in his place. And I thought it would be fun if we talked about these little feathered friends, cuccos," chickens, Sidon, "who we have a special little coop for and everything over at the shelter. According to my research, cuccos," chickens, Sidon, if you researched this, you should know this!, "are one of the most wide-spread and domesticated animals in the world! There are more cuccos," chickens, "in the world than any other bird of domesticated fowl! Isn't that amazing? Most people seem to raise them for food and sustenance, as their meat is very popular, as are their eggs. They are relatively easy to care for and make for excellent pets! Sometimes, they can get a little temperamental or violent, especially the males, called roosters," sure, you get roosters right, Sidon, but still not chickens??, "but these ones are all quite lovely and used to people, so you should have no trouble at all, as long as you're kind and good, which I know you all will be.
"I've brought some food for them if you'd like to feed them, but I figured we could just spend the class getting to know all these feathered friends! And if there are any questions, I shall try my very best to answer them!"
