On the one hand, they are very easy to see in Germany, swimming in public parks or teaching pensioners how to eat bread. And now we get to the part of the post in which I briefly and unscientifically mention a few research papers on the species to have a reason to post a few more of my photos.
I came across this strange article about German research on which slaughter method creates more pain for the animal: the Western method of stunning or the Islamic method of a cut to the neck. According to the researchers, the Islamic method wins. Tags: islam Slaughterhouse Germany cows. What an utterly grotesque project.
the development of field-based ornithological research in Europe and Great Britain; a quick step back through the history to look at bird protection, conservation, and our precarious future, with a focus on Birkhead’s long-term (50 years!) Common Guillemot research at Skomer Island, Wales. Beagle , pt.
These Blasts From The Past No Owls at Croton Point I Hate Connecticut… Birding Kazakhstan: Morning of Day 1 in Astana Ottawa By Way of Ohio The Snow Bunting That Almost Killed Me, or, Hyperbole in Bird Blog Post Titles is Fun! Germany had lost one of its most promising ornithological researchers, and one of its most active birders.
Marc Hauser, a cognitive psychologist at Harvard University, recently opened his own such research lab and has 1,000 dogs lined up as subjects. If it did, the licking often prompts it to vomit up some of that kill for the other members of the pack to share. Other facilities are operating in the U.S. and Europe. Going to the Dogs.
This model was very popular in Germany in the 1970s and 1980s and it was commonly called “Ente“ (duck) due to its round hood. When researching the origin of this saying, I figured it pertained to snares that were used to catch thrushes until better times prevailed. Thushing means strangulation until death do us part.
For Daurian Redstarts, university campuses can also be crime scenes – one recent paper reports on a Daurian Redstart fledgling being attacked and killed by a magpie on the grounds of Hebei Normal University despite attempts by the female parent to defend the chick. Some ornithological research is surprisingly simple.
Most scientific research really just proves the obvious. However, they sometimes claim to be the national bird of Germany due to their black-red-yellow color combination – this is not true. A study on Black-tailed Godwits found that flying against the wind is harder than with the wind. Their chicks are kind of cute though.

Given the complexity of the research, the result feels like a bit of a letdown – “northern populations start migration earlier than southern populations, especially in autumn” The species name of the Chestnut-eared Bunting is fucata , from the Latin “fucare”, to paint red.
