looking at r/stupiddovenests and it's activating a memory in me of when i worked at a golf course as a groundskeeper and there were these big piles of mulch and soil behind our building for the gardener and the arbourist and at the same time every year they would be made off limits because turtles who lived on the course would lay their eggs in them and turtles are a protected species and it was so normal for the company that there were special signs that said turtle eggs do not touch just for the piles and when the first egg was found they would announce it to the staff at our morning meeting and we could get in trouble for touching the mulch pile

#everyone would get curious and go look anyways #it was always kind of tragic if we found a crushed egg #but those turtles were so fucking annoying #they would get in the bunkers and block the pathways #and if golfers complained we had to call our manager to come move them #but if we found babies in the bunkers we could move them ourselves #i've never held so many turtles as i did those two or three summers #the FOXES were another story
