Today, I invite you to join me, Kai Pflug, on an extraordinary avian expedition as we explore the vibrant cityscape of Shanghai, a hidden gem for birdwatchers in the heart of China. Birding Beyond the City: For the more adventurous birder, Shanghai serves as a gateway to explore the diverse landscapes of eastern China.

The scientists, who studied bird populations in Europe and China , speculate that urban areas may have some appeal for passerines that rural areas otherwise lack. This may help songbirds successfully raise their families without worrying about invaders. And that appeal is relief from the threat of brood parasitism.

They don’t usually maintain their territory outside of breeding season and they have never successfully raised a chick yet.

Each animal they raise to adulthood is a step away from extinction, with the ultimate challenge to return them to the wild. It is extremely difficult for female pandas to reproduce in captivity, but the city of Chengdu in central China has become the worldwide epicenter for panda reproduction. Meanwhile, at Whipsnade Zoo in the U.K.,

China has more girls available and Russia has more boys. Is raising a good citizen of the planet more important than the carbon footprints of two vegans who live relatively modest lives? Some people want a relationship with the birth parents. Some don't. There are oodles of variables regarding available children, as well. Others don't.

Dogs were bred to be companion animals; pigs and cows are raised as food. At one point during my year living in China, I ate dog. A decision not to eat dogs has nothing to do with our inherent hypocrisy, but with our relationship to different animals. However, I agree with Mr. Foer that factory farming has to go.

The closer one raises her head, than lies back. Telia watches him in half-amusement, then raises and gives a low, bull-like roar, provoking the lapwings to an excited screech, makes a few steps and lies down. Telia yawns, raises and sprays her urine on a dead tree stump, marking her territory. The other two are motionless.

But the wrongness and vileness of factory farming does not show that eating meat is morally wrong, because it is theoretically possible to raise animals outdoors in idyllic settings, to give them wonderful, enjoyable, rich lives, and then after 6 months to a year of such blissful existence, to kill them entirely painlessly.

The White-shouldered Starling is not very common in Shanghai or even in China in general, despite its species name sinensis. Maybe it was raised by some caged birds in close proximity to humans, though I lack any proof of this theory whatsoever. Soldiers could probably learn a lot about camouflage from this species.

Shanghai parks are rather crowded and noisy places, but the goshawks – who unlike me have lived in China all their lives – apparently do not mind.
