As someone who does not know turtles very well I have treated my turtle encounters as learning experiences, taking watching them, taking pictures, and identifying the ones I am not entirely sure of when I get back to my computer and an internet hookup.

One of these things is how the retirement community regards its residents owning pets. If you’re a pet owner, you know from experience how tricky it can be finding places to live (other than buying a house) where you’re allowed to own pets. Which is what makes finding a pet-friendly retirement community so important.

Wing-barred Seedeater was formerly a common sight on Tobago but intensive trapping for the pet trade has extirpated the species from that island. We had just parked up and I was hoping to eat first and shoot later, but this was not to be. Bird number one in a new country, and fittingly, a lifer for me.

The Common Waxbill looks like it belongs in a pet shop rather than in the wild. In fact, this is probably a species that has substantially expanded its original range through the pet shop route and the resulting escapees. Just possibly it exists but just has not been discovered yet. A challenge for young birders, maybe.

If a dog has not had a lot of experience with strangers, new animals or loud noises, he can quickly become fearful. Socialization aims to combat this problem by exposing dogs to a wide variety of experiences. During this time, dogs learn more readily and are less likely to be frightened by new experiences.
