Smoke alarm chirp

Reddit Animals

The smoke alarm chirp that goes off either in a video or in my house scares my dog to the point she's inconsolable. She's better now but for 30 minutes she was shaking and panting. Obviously best case scenario I just try to stop her from having to hear them cause I'm worried it might hurt her ears. Anyone else have similar experiences or know why?

Kaapstad Critique

10,000 Birds

Cape Town or Kaapstad: I have a love-hate relationship with the town. Maybe that’s too strong, but I am not falling for the tourism bureau hype. For instance, I do not think it is a beautiful city. Its surrounding landscape is impressive, but the historical centre has been separated from the sea by an ugly port area.

Island Scrub-Jays on Santa Cruz Island

10,000 Birds

It is funny the lengths that some of us choose to go to see birds. You may have heard tales of “big year birders” or “big listers” flying across the country when a rarity shows up that they still need for whatever current list they are keeping. I always reflect on my luck when a Collared Plover showed up just before noon at a playa, which was a half-hour drive from my work in Mission, Texas.

Some Winter Passerines on Hokkaido

10,000 Birds

Preparing this post after just having returned from Sulawesi and Halmahera – where many species proudly wear their island location as part of their names – it is striking how comparatively cosmopolitan the passerines of Hokkaido are. In fact, while the flight distance between Kushiro on Hokkaido and Paris is more than 9000 km, many of the birds are exactly the same.

Fall is for Raptors

10,000 Birds

Next to spring, my other eagerly anticipated season is the fall, highlighted by raptor migration. September 1 is when raptor lovers congregate around Toronto’s viewing hotspots. We check the weather forecasts for north-element winds, which bring the birds down to us from the boreal forests of Ontario and Quebec. Northwest winds are the best, which is when most of us raptor lovers head out.

Bogey birds

10,000 Birds

Most of us have bogey birds – certain species that for one reason or another elude us for years. Forty years ago my bogey was the Bohemian Waxwing, and by 1986 I was sufficiently keen to see one that I was prepared to resort to twitching. I was told of a small flock feeding on a cotoneaster tree in a cul-de-sac in Ipswich, a town 80 miles north of where I lived at the time.

My dog brought a wild baby bunny inside- what do I do?

I've been nursing it with rabbit food for a couple days, I've tried calling rehabilitation centers but no one has answered- is a baby rabbit suited enough to survive by itself? I only feel so bad because my dogs killed all of them in our backyard but apparently 1 survived. So what do I do?

Help, animals in the walls

I live in an attic and have recently been disturbed by noise in the walls / roof. They come from animals (marten / sleepers) that run around and scratch in the walls and roof. The noises are so loud that I can no longer sleep normally. How do I get the animals out of the walls / roof, or who can help me (which profession is needed)?

Cat brought in vole, healthy except for broken hind legs

Reddit Animals

Exactly as title says, in need of advice. Our cat has brought in a vole, and it's otherwise okay (eating, shuffling about, no longer terrified), but its hind legs don't work. As we have two cats I feel it unwise to keep and look after it, although possible, but taking it back outside feels very cruel. However, not sure I can bring myself to put it down as it really does look otherwise okay.

Are hippos inherently aggressive, or only when threatened/hungry?

If you see a hippo in the wild and look at it from afar, will it charge you? Do hippos ever get curious about humans and approach them peacefully? Are they like elephants in the sense that elephants can be friendly towards humans if not threatened?

Best animal for the army

I was deciding what I am going to be for Halloween and decided on a crocodile and while I was researching what I need to make the costume and facts about crocodiles I thought that a crocodile would be a great soldier in the army for a couple of reasons.the first is that they can move easily through water and reach places humans can't.

What are these tufts of white hair?

Reddit Animals

We see these tufts of white hair alongside the rails to trails path near our house. Always white hair. Near the path, spaced out in little groupings like the one here but multiple patches all down the path. Two of them today were aligned right underneath the light pole. No evidence of violence or other parts. I used to think maybe somebody was petting their shedding Samoyed or something, but their placement and frequency and the way the hair seems to come out in little tufts that align with each
