Most of the usual birds seem present, a frog or two call from a small wetland, and a few other expected animals are there too. During our time travels, we would note vast changes in many other birds and animals. Part of that recognition is assessing which types of plants and animals are more threatened than others.

I've noticed that self destructive actions in other animals like cats, dogs, horses, birds, etc. seems to mostly if not only occur when they're with humans as a pet or being captive. So what are some examples of self destructive tendencies of other animals in the wild?

Pets have been a part of human society for thousands of years, serving as companions, protectors, and even healers. From cats and dogs to birds and reptiles, pets have a unique ability to connect with humans in ways that are both profound and lasting. One of the primary reasons people keep pets is for companionship.

I guess I’d like to know if other animals have a warped perception of time (relative to ours). Like, I know we say “7 dog years is 1 human year” or something to help kids understand why dogs/certain pets die so ‘young’, but; are there any animals that live slower (or faster) than us?

One of the many reasons why we appreciate out pets is because they always keep us laughing.

Mix to create the base of your bird feeder; then have kids knead in 4 cups of bird seed (take your time; this step is messy and a lot of fun). Make pet toys.

We assume natural selection has shaped birds to avoid predators. Noticing predators, reacting to them perhaps with an alarm call, and escaping them, as well as other behaviors, keep the bird alive and thus allow it to reproduce. We would expect, then, that natural selection favors birds that are good at these things.
