10,000 Birds

Most weeks, I can blog about going somewhere a bit more exotic, and seeing something a bit more unusual for me. But this week, I had no car to drive, so I had to go on foot to the nature reserve on the far side of our neighborhood. This place, called Los Filtros Viejos (the Old Filters) because it used to be Morelia’s main water source, is actually a great place for birding.

Enjoying the Orange Peril

10,000 Birds

Last year I bade farewell to an old friend, or, to be more precise, my much-loved Swarovski scope. Technically, it was an ATS 80 HD spotting scope, together with three eyepieces, a 20x, 30x and a 25×50 wide-angle zoom; the latter was the lens I used most often.(The 20x wide-angle lens was great in poor light in the rain forest.) I had owned the scope, from new, for 23 years, in which time it had travelled with me to four different continents and around 40 different countries.

Springtime in Bonn

10,000 Birds

When waiting it felt like ages, but once I heard them it felt like they had returned way too early: Firecrests singing in our local park in Bonn. On the way to work in the mornings and on weekend walks, I was very glad to hear the songs of all the migrants arriving. In addition to the Firecrests, within a few days the songs of Common Chiffchaff, Willow Warbler, and Eurasian Blackcap started resonating through the freshly sprouting vegetation.

Birding Ruili, Yunnan

10,000 Birds

Ruili is a Chinese city right on the border to Myanmar, and a major border crossing. When I last visited the town almost 10 years ago, it had a Wild West feel, and Wikipedia claims that it is “an important location for trade with Myanmar, in both legal and illegal goods and services” but it seemed pretty tame to me this time. My major struggle in the city was with the equipment in a super modern hotel room, with instructions all in Chinese, preventing me from getting a hot shower and

Advice on getting a job working with animal?

Reddit Animals

I love animals and to be honest I'm not a big fan of people. But unfortunately I don't have a university degree and even if I wanted to or could I can't afford the time and money to become a vetinarian. Most other jobs with animals that I know of are volunteer so you don't make money. I'm willing to study, educate, work experience, whatever it takes.

Reddit Animals

Hello everyone. I found this egg in the middle of my yard on the ground about half an hour ago, i didn't want to leave it there because it seemed misplaced, we have a dog walking around freely with a good appetite and the temperature outside is 3°C. When i picked the egg up it was already cold, it's around 2.5 by 2cm in size. After picking it up i carefully washed it under lukewarm water and kept it in my hand for warmth, now i have placed it in a small box and under a lamp (you can see

Strange Pigeon???

Were the pandas poorly treated by Edinburgh zoo?

Reddit Animals

I remember reading about them as a huge hit but saw an article today saying that Tian Tian (the female) was recalled to China and retired because she developed a fear of people likely due to being on display for so long in the zoo. Also seems very cruel that the zoo tried to so many failed and forced artificial insemination procedures on her simply to try and make extra money from cubs as apparently they were paying a million dollars a year just in loan fees to display the pandas.

Examples of animal behavior specifically for humans?

Reddit Animals

Hi! I'm researching animal behaviors for a game I'm working on. When searching online there's a vast amount of information about how animals scare off predators and/or intimidate them, but I'm specifically interested in positive interactions (which has proven to be much harder to find) So, I have 2 questions for you all: Do you guys know of any examples where animals have specific behaviors that they do to gain attention from humans ?

So to clarify our pug has been dead for months. I stopped visiting my mother and found out this just recently. Our pug was biting eating chewing on his leg. My sister went into the bathroom while he was giving him a bath and smelt it as he sprayed it on our pug. This has been on my mind and it angers me. Is this abuse? Is it a thing? I just found this out.

What is this egg?

Reddit Animals

I found this egg buried in my yard today. Or more accurately, my dog found it. It was already cracked as shown in photos. I don't know if it had hatched or if the dog got it (she was licking it when I found her). We were guessing it may be a from a snake or other reptile, as it was buried and packed in pretty solid, but we have no idea. If it helps, I live northern Maryland by the Chesapeake Bay.
