Bet you haven’t seen a bird peeing, here’s why
There are around 10,000 species of birds in the world. And you have seen them poop, you might’ve been be in the receiving end but bet you haven’t seen any bird pee.
Birds are different from mammals. Mammals usually discard the excess nitrogen in the body which tends to form toxic ammonia which is then diluted in the bladder to form urea which is non-toxic. Birds do not pee, so how do they discard the excess nitrogen in their body?
Bird’s convert the nitrogen into uric acid which is also non toxic same with urea. They have a specialized body part, called cloaca that stores both pee and poop, so it can all be released in one go! This is actually efficient and saves water. In fact, birds don’t need to drink that much, some can even travel long distances for a week without drinking water, all thanks to an efficient metabolic process.
Why some Strangers Seems so Familiar
Some faces are familiar because we already met them long ago, in the bus station, in the telephone booth line, in the beach, at friend's party on a saturday night but some are so familiar because it feels like your souls became friends, became dear to each other long ago, somewhere, in a place in time.
I think our souls already met long time ago, maybe in the busy streets of New York, or on a holiday night in Paris, or maybe in Singaporean parks, or under the blossoms in Korea, or maybe in the streets with flashing lights of Las Vegas. Maybe, a place only my soul can remember.
They said, it takes billion light years to reach the nearby galaxies but I found them in your eyes. I thought I'll never get lost again but when I look into your eyes, I won't mind getting lost over and over again. A rendezvous I never knew existed. I know I can never find another place like what I've found in you.
