A study on the breeding biology of Whitehead’s Broadbill was just published in May 2023 but leaves a bit of a puzzle as the breeding success is described as relatively high, meaning there should be other reasons for the population decline of the species. Must have been a camera fault.

Yes, Germans were a particularly supersticious breed in the days of old, and would not dare to use the word devil even when cursing. So, they cleverly would hijack unpopular animals or people as placeholders for the devil and then swear to their heart’s delight. An animal’s blood is referred to as Schweiss, which means sweat.

The Mourning Dove is a prolific breeder. Even though the female lays only two eggs per nest attempt, they enjoy a protracted breeding season in which multiple nesting attempts can occur every 30 days, and in Southern locations, nearly year round. Use of non-toxic shot when hunting waterfowl has been mandatory, nationwide, since 1991.

I am no fan of breeders, I'll admit it. I think there are many disreputable breeders, I think they are increasing a bloated supply of pets, and I think there are many purebreds already available from shelters. I also know there are people who want to buy from a breeder and no one else. Tags: breeders.
