Raising money for charity doesn’t have to be hard work. All you need is a few of your old unwanted dvds, cds and video games. To start donating, all you need is an internet connection, a computer or laptop and a pile of cds, dvds and video games that you no longer want. Raising money for the RSPCA is easy. Get Involved.

Thus, the cattle we raise for meat and dairy are sometimes called Bos taurus while the extinct wild form is always called Bos primigenius. Some time after the Spanish encounter with the Turkey, birds were brought back to Europe where they were raised and became an important source of food and fancy feathers. 78(1):61–78. ca 1630–1647.

A dusty-red road leads me through Marico bushveld deeper into the 750 square kilometers large wilderness of the Madikwe Game Reserve – the 4th largest reserve in South Africa, home to 350 bird and 66 mammal species, some 4 hours’ drive from Johannesburg.

Unique among the auks, indeed among seabirds, they will attempt to double brood, to lay another clutch after successfully raising the first chick. In 2010, the best year on record , 75% of the pairs that raised a chick to fledging attempted a second brood, and 75% of those actually managed to fledge a second chick. So why do it?

Over the winter, the universe lost four whooping cranes to what appears to be recreational shooting: three gunned down together in Georgia on December 30, 2010, and another in Alabama on January 28, 2011.
