Well, we got to see the iguanas until they both suddenly realized that a whole boatload of people was drifting right up to them at which point they skedaddled, but by that point everyone with camera had already managed several shots and those without had enjoyed great looks that they probably would not ever forget.

Nonprofit pet protection groups would manage the program and be responsible for ensuring that cat caretakers take the required steps. Several members of the Audubon Society said the plan fails to answer questions about how cats will be managed and what rights neighbors will have if the cats become a nuisance. First amendment rights?

They had a page with quotes from animal rights activists, but as I was reading, I noticed that they were very unfavorable quotes from such activists as Wayne Pacelle and Ingrid Newkirk. The membership roster of NAIA includes some of America's most respected animal professionals, advocates and enthusiasts.

The monotypic Short-tailed Parrot is one of these species, occurring only swampy forests and river islands right along the Amazon River and wider sections of its largest tributaries. Both of these endemic parrots suffer from habitat loss and trapping for the pet trade.

The pet Maltese with the short white or ivory mane and coat is just as adored. You will see them barking and whining and chewing everything in sight right from your rug to your footwear so yes it is funny, but beware, you do want your favorite clothes dug up and chewed upon. But make no mistakes.

Dozens of other introduced bird species, largely escapees from pet owners, now call Miami home. The Spot-breasted Oriole , a native of Central America, is one of the lucky exotics to make the list. Nearly 70 species of parrots have been recorded flying free at some stage or another in Miami, including Hyacinth Macaws.

Rather than painting all bird images to face the same direction, as is customary in many field guides, the Navarro combines images of the bird looking left, right, up, even right at you, the sums of the images creating compositions of diagonal lines, circles, and mirror images.

They are part of the scarab beetle complex and over 300 species have been described, occurring not only in Africa but also Europe, Asia and the Americas. They are harmless to humans and their horns are used for wrestling other males for mating rights. In Asia they are even commonly kept as pets!

Found throughout South America in ever-dwindling numbers these extremely beautiful birds – threatened by habitat destruction and collection for the wild bird trade – are often difficult to see and hard to find. That’s right – birds eating clay. Wicked, right? Hat-tip to Stella.

This striking bird is a strange character and supposedly confused ornithologists for many years even though it was a common sight throughout marshes and open areas in much of South America. While they didn’t let me walk right up to them, they didn’t fly away from the moment we pulled in the parking lot.

crossing the Carribean and winding up in South America? But many people who live closely with animals, whether as some of the more open-minded researchers or your average pet owners, have always been well aware that this simply isn’t true. Can you imagine doing this when you are a couple of months old?

It’s easy to observe this attachment behavior in parrots, especially pets. She’d then climb down my leg, waddle across the room, climb up Bill’s jeans, and bite him, once right in the middle of his back. My three orphans had left for Central America in September 2003. She’d land on a low twig right by my face and peep.
