Scooter is now getting on in years and has suffered health setbacks. The seniors get a positive experience from interacting with the birds. But Kasia has kept the bird-therapy program going with other rescued birds, including ducks and chickens that are often surrendered or abandoned once Easter’s over.

Summer, the season that we in the Northern Hemisphere are currently enjoying or suffering depending on your latitude and state of mind, is a time when birds often take a backseat to other diversions. If you’ve blogged about your weekend experience, you should include a link in your comment. Aren’t we lucky?

Though all birds will be somehow impacted by climate change, I think it is important to note that not all will suffer. Conversely, parts of the world that have traditionally been quite dry may experience more rainfall. Will early-arriving birds suffer from having to endure late winter storms?

Those birds that get to experience northern winters apparently lose their easygoing southern nature and become very very angry. So in addition to having to suffer through that awkward teenage period of feeling like it doesn’t fit in with the other kids, the adolescent Red-tailed Hawk doesn’t even fit in with its own species.

You are probably familiar with the famous experiments in which a baby seagull could easily be made to pay more attention to a fake parent seagull beak, ignoring the actual seagull beak, if the red spot normally found on the seagull beak was exaggerated in size and attached to, say, a pencil. That is an oversimplification of what happens.

The many small ponds and waterways attract quite a few ducks, though presumably due to their China experience, they are extremely wary of people. In contrast, Little Egrets almost seem to revel in their high visibility (when they do not suffer from winter depression). These Eurasian Teal s know they are treading on thin ice in China.

So, maybe not be the best place to visit for monks suffering from depression. My extensive birding experience allows me to be very confident that the bird below is a Rosefinch. But it seems the birds like this habitat, probably as this is a rare more open area on these otherwise mostly heavily forested hills. It is indeed rufous-ish.

I don't believe these animals get the quality of care they deserve for the suffering they undergo. If you "humanize" the animal and grow attached, how can you conduct experiments on it? You have to objectify them and they suffer for it. I'm glad PETA is drawing attention to this issue.

I don't care if they're supposedly working for altruistic purposes (they're not, but that's another story), they are allowing animals to suffer through negligent care separate from the excruciating experiments they must still undergo. Don't give me that slop about universities being better than corporations.

My view, then, is not that which it has often been taken to be in discussion and which Singer, Regan, Clark, and others blast in their work; I am not suggesting that, because they lack language, animals can be factory farmed without suffering. Animals can suffer, which they could not unless they were conscious; so they are conscious.

In my experience, parrots form a visibly and numerically important component of the Brazilian bird fauna. Both of these endemic parrots suffer from habitat loss and trapping for the pet trade. Brazil, in particular, is the country with the largest number of parrot species in the world with approximately 84 species.
