But it’s going to be a long time before we have tested all the birds — and gained enough understanding about how genes and gene expression actually work — to have a thorough understanding of the world’s bird populations. ” What to do?

Those bears live in the wild and are not used to humans. From the behavioural point of view, what has happened? To them, people are alien and possibly a dangerous novelty.

No one in the room–neither dog nor human–can tell which cup hides the biscuit. Understanding a pointed finger may seem easy, but consider this: while humans and canines can do it naturally, no other known species in the animal kingdom can. But scientists had carried out few studies to test those beliefs–until now.

We can, of course, count wild, native, species. Of course, there are a lot more rules that apply to both birds that can and can’t be counted, and one of the most entertaining ways to get a bunch of birders to make a Facebook discussion thread go on forever is to innocently ask a question about some esoteric aspect of listing rules.

There is a profound difference between what Sea Shepherd does and what the Animal Liberation Front does, but there are also similarities, and those similarities increase in number if a direct action by the ALF (or anyone else) is an open rescue and therefore a direct defense of sentient nonhumans being attacked by humans. That's one result.

And of course, as a (pop) culture whose sensibility has been formed by The Onion and The Daily Show , it's no wonder. The personality characteristics we were both deemed to have can all be found by observation as well as a 500+ question test. Why is it surprising that nonhuman animals have personalities when human animals do?

Way back when I started what turned out to be my thesis research (on humans), it became important for me to learn about bird migration. I was involved in the study of human movement and navigation on land, and there was a lot of research coming out about bird navigation. A fascinating exception to this, of course, are penguins.

So far McCloskey is on solid ground, but one can quarrel with his denial that any animals but humans have interests. We can, of course, with consistency treat animals as mere pests and deny that they have any rights; for most animals, especially those of the lower orders, we have no choice but to do so.

Azure-winged Magpies fail to pass the mirror test, a test commonly used to determine self-recognition.

The best female strategy seems to be to mate with as many of the males as possible, as this means more help in feeding the chicks by all the potential fathers (I guess the fathers do not have easy access to paternity tests).

And, of course, of all the tissues that make up a bird or a mammal, neural tissue is the most demanding of oxygen. The hypothesis being tested is that high ambient levels of radiation will cause greater production of reactive oxygen in birds, which in turn will stress neural tissue growth processes resulting in smaller brains.

As with Chinese male humans, having your own building is still vital to raising young. One of the established ways to evaluate self-cognition in animals (including humans) is the mirror test. In the classic test, an animal is anesthetized and then marked on an area of the body the animal cannot normally see.

As reported in the AP story, two styles of Sean John jackets—one a hooded snorkel style, the other a classic version—were originally advertised as faux fur, but an investigation by the Humane Society of the United States [ HSUS ] found that the jackets were made from dog fur.
