Feral Muscovy Ducks seem to attract many of those epithets. Not only are the individual ducks hard to look at, but in groups, the feral populations create the same messes other masses of waterfowl do. The word manky means many things in British parlance from dirty and disgusting to inferior and worthless.
And of course, there is a large number of Rock Doves (feral), particularly near one particular mosque. We are currently focusing on two areas – one is getting some mineralogy/geology labs to work again so that Afghanistan can get more value out of its rich resources, and thus create more jobs for the people.
But one man was listening to the calls of the whistle blowers -- calls of widespread wetland destruction, poaching, pesticides and destructive feral wildlife. A recent focus has been on habitat preservation since wetlands in the Caribbean are a very scarce resource.
The HBW describes the population of the Blue-naped Parrot at Kota Kinabalu as feral – sounds a bit harsh to me given the proximity of Kota Kinabalu to those areas where the species is deemed a proper resident. The first one is the Blue-naped Parrot.
Pranty had a particular challenge for Florida, where exotics and feral forms of species like Mallard are seen throughout the state, especially in the southern peninsula. ” In addition, he adds ten exotic/feral species to the checklist in the back of the book, astericking them as non-official checklist birds.
Assembling all known TNR resources under one roof and applying them to the problem on a massive, full-time scale is something very few other organizations can do.”. The group, founded in 2007, also provides a free, full-time spay and neuter clinic for homeless stray and feral cats, plus low-cost, spay and neuter services for tame pet cats.
Every March, hope springs anew that I’ll cross paths with one of these feral fluffballs, but as April ends, so do another year’s delirious dreams. Besides founding 10,000 Birds and I and the Bird , Mike has also created a number of other entertaining sites and resources, particularly the Nature Blog Network.

The mascot for this year’s National Justice for Animals Week is Adam, a spunky black cat who was set on fire by two teenage girls in a vicious attack in Santa Rosa, California, as an eight-week-old feral kitten. Adam survived third-degree burns on 45% of his body and the case grabbed headlines around the world.
Almost every single outdoor pet cat, feral cat, or stray kills other animals , no matter how well fed the cat is through other sources. Trap-neuter-release programs sound nice and let folks think that they are doing good but they actually often add to the problem , and never reach the goal of zero feral cats in an area.
Why should Queens, which gets short shrift when it comes to parks department personnel and resources, be singled out to lose our feeders? What is wrong with a parks department that does nothing about feral cat colonies in the parks but takes down bird feeders?
The elimination of vultures had its own knock on effects, such as the increase in feral dogs (now that there was more meat available for them) and corresponding increase in rabies. That doesn’t translate into action if the money and resources aren’t there to act on such ideas.
From the feral cats of Project Treadstone to Charles' back surgery to problems with Violet's Vetsulin (insulin for dogs), we had more than our share of issues. So many, so little time, so little support and so few resources. As many of you know, 2009 was chock full of creature-related drama for me.
Material before the main text introduces us to Klem’s mission and how he found it (Preface and Prologue); extensive material in the back of the book provides lists of resources, data, a comprehensive bibliography, and acknowledgements.

We do not support or promote feral animals on the base,” flatly stated Bruce Frizzell, head of the Natural Resources and Environmental Affairs office. Feral cats may be an animal problem, but there is a human solution.
And video resources. Sure, they’re beautiful and powerful, a reminder of the feral freedom of the skies. Also, a note that in this review I mention that I had never read Hawks in Flight, by Pete Dunne, David Sibley, and Clay Sutton. This was remedied in 2012, when I reviewed the second edition.
The causes were the usual reasons for island extinction—deforestation by both humans and invasive plants that crowded out native plants, hunting, and invasive rats, mongoose, monkeys, and, of course, feral cats. And, possibly, a waste of resources to try to extend near-extinct species into the future.
