Some differences in animal behavior are quite striking. According to the HBW, when breeding, male birds do most of the incubation and parenting while females often leave the nest up to one week before the eggs hatch. It concludes that human activity influences the breeding activity of the lapwing. End of side note.

On the breeding grounds of the north, a small bird flies into the night, takes a bearing for the south, gains altitude and flies onward.

Choosing the right pet for your child is key. Having pets at a young age instills kids with a sense of confidence that they can take care of an animal and help it to live a thriving life.

One of the established ways to evaluate self-cognition in animals (including humans) is the mirror test. In the classic test, an animal is anesthetized and then marked on an area of the body the animal cannot normally see. When the animal recovers from the anesthetic, it is given access to a mirror. Sometimes it works.
