Islands in the Sun

10,000 Birds

As I write these lines, I am excited and preparing for the start of a Calpe Conference here in Gibraltar. We have been organizing these events annually since 1997 and the conference, which starts on Thursday 4th July, carries the title that I have chosen for this article. “Islands in the Sun” is about Macaronesia, the collective term used to define the Atlantic Islands of the Azores, Madeira, the Canaries and Cape Verde.

How to raise/ ensure that this bird will live ?

Reddit Animals

Found a baby chick in a nest today at work. Unfortunately I had to remove the nest. From what I could tell I couldn’t see a mother so I took the small chick with me. I have it in a cardboard box with some grass and sticks to mimic a nest. Basically, what can I feed it? How often? What kind of bird is it? Is it safe to take care of a bird at home ? Should I take it to the vet instead of trying to care for it at home?

Birding Shanghai in June 2024

10,000 Birds

Seeing a Black-throated Laughingthrush at Nanhui was a surprise. I listed it on eBird – but my experience (and not only mine) is that the motto of eBird reviewers generally is “If I see it, it’s a vagrant – if you see it, it’s an escapee.” And so it turned out. The Black-winged Cuckooshrike is breeding in several Shanghai locations – I suspect that some trees near the Nanhui hotel might be another one, given the vigorous singing of this bird.

To fly or to be invisible: a birder’s perspective

10,000 Birds

I have always found the question about which of the two superpowers to choose – to be able to fly, or to be invisible – an intriguing one. For me, it has come down to a choice between extroversion – flying – and introversion – invisibility. How to answer this question from a birder’s perspective? My hunch is that most birders are more on the introversion side of the whole spectrum, though I am sure there are many exceptions to this (hello Peter!).

Red Grouse Restored: a Full Species Again

10,000 Birds

“One sunny morning a few months ago, as I stood on a mountain slope among bracken, ling, and furze, and scattered masses of grey rock, watching a small party of grouse near me, it struck me that I had never looked on a more beautiful creature than this bird: – so finely shaped and richly coloured, and proud and free in carriage, and in such perfect harmony with the rough vegetation and that wild and solitary nature amid which it exists.

Bunting Banter near Bonn

10,000 Birds

Okay, not truly near Bonn, but I made a feeble yet desperate attempt to have the title be an alliteration. Only after I came up with this, I realized that the title an earlier post of mine is also a b-based alliteration, which I guess I should accept is more an indication of my limited creativity than an inevitable result of me living in Bonn. Some time ago I visited the Wagbachniederung (see my last post ) and as I would be traveling more or less along the Rhine to get back, I decided to throw

Desky the cat - Animal abuse?

Reddit Animals

[link] This dude seems like he is harassing his cat for content. They're normally in a dim room and he has his flash on like less than 1 foot away from it's face. A ton of the clips start with the cat falling down from the ceiling. No away it's doing that on purpose, right? Cats have really sensitive eyes if I'm not mistaken. Shining a light in it's face can't be good for it.

I need help regarding my dog

Reddit Animals

My dog ludo is 1 and a half years old, he's the best. He's always happy and pretty tough. But he hurt himself and I don't know how. This morning I had to go to work, and he was happy. I came home from work and he was happy but reluctant to jump on me (which is how he usually greets me). He was also yelping randomly. So got a treat and I asked him to jump up to get the treat, and he tried and yelped hard.

What is this? (TN)

Reddit Animals

I never saw it move, so it might be dead. It was found in Tennessee. I thought that the structures where its wings should be might be remnants of a cocoon, but they don’t look like that. Does anyone know what this is? It looks like a moth. I’m curious if it really is a moth, and if so, what type it is and what’s going on with the structure on its back.

What will happen to an injured bird I saw earlier?

Reddit Animals

It was a baby seagull, it seemed to have fallen out of its nest and was lying in the street with a mangled leg and wing. Poor thing was terrified and in pain. I phoned help and was told to take it to a vet, which someone else did. People were saying that it'll be put down though, I hope it can be helped but I suppose at least it won't be suffering.

My dog’s skin allergy

Please don’t judge this situation

Not sure where all to post this

Hey guys. I'm in such a weird specific life predicament that's making it so hard to be happy. I'm reaching out for IRL help, mainly a housing situation or just advice. When I was 16 years old I adopted a baby black mini pig. His name is Moo. Pigs rank as the 5th most intelligent animal in the world and are extremely emotional. In fact, they're more trainable than dogs.
