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.

Keep finding decapitated pigeons, what animal would do this?

Reddit Animals

I’m in the UK so it won’t be a raccoon or possum as we don’t have these here. Seen two around the area I live in and one in my garden, so it’s not kids/ people. We do get birds of prey, foxes and cats around, but would they just eat the head and leave the body? Both times the body is in tact with no rip marks, just the head gone, with the spine sticking out of the body.

The Shorebirds of North America: A Natural History and Photographic Celebration–A Book Review

10,000 Birds

“You don’t like shorebirds?” my birding friend asked me in a tone of surprise, shock, and a tiny bit of horror. We had been talking about summer and I imagine that when she exclaimed happily, “Soon it will be time to go to the East Pond for shorebirds!” my face betrayed me. “I love shorebirds,” I replied, “I just don’t always like them.” My feelings about shorebirds came back to me a few days later, as I observed a mixed group of peeps and Dowitchers at Mecox Inlet, eastern Long Island, not far

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

Need help identifying a little guy

Reddit Animals

I'm sorry if this doesn't fit the sub so well or breaks the rules, feel free to delete if so. The little guy or gal ran off before I could get a picture, but if I can I will tack it on. For now I'll do my best to paint a picture. For reference I'm in eastern NY. It was about the size of a large eastern cottontail (from a distance) but looked pretty fluffy.

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?

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.

What evolutionary adaptation pressure caused cows to exist?

Reddit Animals

If you think about it, cows are big, bulky and slow. They do not have any defence against fast and agile predator shuch as a Cheetah, Tigers, etc. They arent even smart. They are basically a big food storage for other animals. Yet it seems there is some evolutionary reason they exist. I am really curious.

I hate people who treat animals like toys.

Found this video of a mother who stuffed a poor kitten into a cardboard box and sealed it shut with tape to "surprise" her daughter for a reaction video to farm views. Now the daughter will no doubt grow up thinking it's ok to treat animals like this so you can get your 5 seconds of fame. Absolutely disgusting.

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.

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.
