Birds have captivated us for time eternal, not only because of their ability to fly, but also because of the color they add to our lives. Ok, let me be clear that I’m not suggesting that ALL birds are colorful. Birds like Plain Chachalacas and Grey Catbirds hardly evoke images of stunning beauty. But a vast number of species DO exhibit dazzling displays of color.

Yes, apples are a wonderful treat for your dog! Just be aware that apple cores and seeds should not be eaten by dogs. Apple seeds contain a compound similar to cyanide (it’s called amygdlin) which can prevent oxygen from being carried through the blood. Cores can be hard to digest as well, and could cause a blockage. Be aware that too many apples can cause loose stools.

From the Telegraph. State-financed broadcaster RTVE said it would screen a bullfight from the city of Valladolid on September 5, overturning a ban imposed under the previous socialist government. In 2006, guidelines prohibited the showing of live bullfights because the "violent images" were unsuitable to be broadcast between 6 and 8 pm, during hours when children were most likely to be watching.

With regard to wild animals, the general policy recommended by the rights view is: let them be! Since this will require increased human intervention in human practices that threaten rare or endangered species (e.g., halting the destruction of natural habitat and closer surveillance of poaching, with much stiffer fines and longer prison sentences), the rights view sanctions this intervention, assuming that those humans involved are treated with the respect they are due.

The Republic of Trinidad and Tobago may share equal billing in the dichotomous nation’s name, but Trinidad boasts the lion’s share of the land mass, population, and hummingbirds. My focus during my June 2012 visit was obviously on the hummingbirds. Visitors to Trinidad can scarcely help encountering stunning hummers just about everywhere.

Tips and tricks for keeping your clothing pet hair free. I love my cat! It’s evident from the fact that I walk around with hair all over my shirt all day long. The fact is that most pet owners feel where I’m coming from. Your cat or dog is so lovable in the morning before you leave for work that you can’t help but pick them up or let them maul you, leaving hair in their wake.

Some of us around here ( some more than others) wear our love for Green Herons on our proverbial sleeves. But how could you not love these birds with their distinctive chestnut and pine plumage, their ribald nickname , their groovy necks ? But you shouldn’t just admire Butorides virescens for its beauty: this bird is smart! Researchers have documented Green Herons employing a variety of baits to lure prey within reach of that serpentine neck.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I first started reading Following Atticus: Forty-eight High Peaks, One Little Dog, and an Extraordinary Friendship. After all, it was a memoir of a middle aged man who didn’t seem to be very happy. But it wasn’t long before I was drawn into the story of this man and a dog. Well, not just one dog, but two very special dogs.

Guest article from Jon of ilovelabradorretrievers.com. For expectant parents who have a pet at home, one of the most common concerns they have is how will their pet cope with the new addition to the family? Babies are a heck of a lot of work and without a doubt require the majority of the attention from mom and dad, which leaves poor puppy in the position of being at the absolute bottom of the totem poll.

In southern Berlin there is a massive old decommissioned airport that has been turned into a park. Templehofer Feld, now generally called Templehof Park or just plain Templehof, has pretty decent habitat for open country birds, considering that it is huge, flat, and gradually returning to nature. Sure, the old runways and service roads are still there but the areas between them are not mowed very often, some of the paved areas have been allowed to go completely wild, and nature, as always, finds

1. Report the rare birds you see, including known “continuing” rarities. This is a no-brainer. 2. Sometimes, report the rare birds you DON’T see. This could be very helpful to those debating a chase trip. 3.Quit being so anal retentive. Birders have the capacity to be bafflingly anal (its all part of the nerd persona I guess), but this is evident online more than anyplace else.

Between running errands, working late and worrying about the bottom-line, it’s no wonder our four-legged and winged friends so often go overlooked and neglected. Thankfully, there are some organizations out there that make it their business to look after and care for our animal counterparts.

If your diet usually consists of dry seeds, imagine how luscious and shlurpy a long strand of algae must feel. These little Lonchura finches were sucking it up like spaghetti after plucking it from a small puddle in a Hong Kong wood recently. I had never noticed them do this before and until now, had assumed that they were exclusively granivorous. To find out if this was normal behaviour, I made a search on the internet.

“Peek!” Plunk. “Peek!” Plop. “Peek!” Plip. These were the sounds I heard as I walked around a small pond in Amherst, Massachusetts last week, looking for dragonflies, listening for birds. The “peeks” were loud and high-pitched. I knew the plunks, plops and plips were the sounds of frogs, green and black, jumping into the water, so camouflaged, it looked as if the grass and mud were in action.

This elusive, night-feeding, endemic bird of the Galapagos Islands is not easy to see. I have only seen it a couple of times; once flying above the city lights of Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, and once flying early morning past La Loberia Beach going away from Puerto Baquerizo Moreno. This all changed on my last trip when, upon request of my clients, I organized a half day boat trip to Punta Pitt.

When I read somewhere that Pygmy Geese were not actually geese at all I started doing some research. I discovered that there are actually a fair number of ducks and other waterfowl that are wrongly called geese. True geese belong to the tribe or sub-family Anserini within the larger family Anatidae that encompasses ducks, geese and swans. Members of the Anserini tribe include the genera Anser (Grey Geese), Chen (White Geese) and Branta (Black Geese).
