Since the Maui wildfires in early August burned large areas of the island, including the city of Lahaina, donations have poured in from around the world. That includes the American Veterinary Medical Foundation (AVMF), which has given a $20,000 grant to the Maui Humane Society, a $10,000 grant to Greater Good Charities, and an $19,000 estate gift to the Hawaii VMA so that the organizations can help recover and treat animals in need.

I'm a senior in high school and am taking an AP Research class. I'm set on working with animals, as I'm not interested in anything else. At first my plan was to do research on invasive vs. native species in a controlled environment, but the difficulty factor made me reconsider. It would be ideal if I were able to work with rats or some other similarly intelligent animal, but when I brought it up to my dad he shut it down.

I live next to a pond which has 2 swans, and the swans come out of the pond, walk onto my garden, and knock on the glass patio door using their beaks until I open it. I thought they could be hungry so I tried feeding them (bread, oats, wheat) but they don’t seem interested in the food, and usually leave it untouched on the floor. Could they just be bored / want some attention?
