Oh no! The Gävle yule goat has fallen down from high wind!

A fun - an extremely thorough - look at the #GävleGoat tradition
Though I disagree with their description of the destruction being malevolent (sometimes the gods must be appeased 🤷♀️ ) I'm glad the 2024 Goat survived

Last minute mistake kept me in the sewing room after dark, but it’s fixed and my #InarticulateGoat quilt top is done!
I’m so relieved. I chose a wideback for the brick fabric (wanted that color/pattern specifically) and this quilt has been shredding under my needle the entire time. I won’t make that mistake again
Narrator: She will.
An explanation of the outside #DataViz border is in the replies

The Gavle Goat's officially called as destroyed... as birds have eaten too much of the straw to really call it intact anymore.
And it's being called as a win-win for everybody.

"This year, so far, the Gävle Goat stands tall, proud, and unburned. But it has a new enemy: jackdaws. ... [T]his year’s straw has lots of grain still stuck to it. Flocks upon flocks of jackdaw birds have decided that the Goat makes a tasty Christmas treat. They have been pecking away at it diligently since it was unveiled ...." — Brian Klaus

The fire hasn't got the goat but the ravens or crows are having their way with it.

Oh no! The Gävle Goat has been damaged again! 😮 This time by jackdaws after the seeds on the straw.
According to Wikipedia it has 24-hour guards on site, double fence, 24-hour public webcam stream. Which obviously isn't much used against the birds 😆
(Article in Swedish, but there's a video of the birds)
