If I was an ornithologist aiming for a grant, I would now definitely highlight the need for more research on this topic. The researchers are quite aware of the differences between humans and birds and thus have completely ignored another explanation for this behavior. ” ( source ).

The last time I birded Longcanggou, a national forest park in China’s Sichuan province, was in November 2021.

The falcon breeds in south-eastern Siberia and Northern China but winters in Southern and East Africa. Here in Shanghai, we only get to see those individuals breeding in the North (Northern China, Nothern Japan, Siberia) and not those less ambitious individuals staying further south year-round.

But then again, it could be due to the fact that we are constantly bombarded with billion-dollar advertising campaigns from the meat industries, the dairy industry, and the egg industry, as well as from myriad restaurant chains that promote and sell these very animal products.

One proposed explanation by the researchers for this phenomenon is that similar-looking birds reduce their risk of predation, as predators find it more difficult to focus on and isolate a single target.

I am not sure about the security situation in Iraq these days but at least some people do ornithological research there – resulting in papers such as one titled “Breeding observations of the Black-winged Kite Elanus caeruleus (Desfontaines , 1789) in Iraq” Impressive. A relative of this species is the Yellow-bellied Tit.

An organization called the Carolina Avian Research and Education states that “if you google the top ten most beautiful birds in the world, it [the Golden Pheasant ] always makes the list.” I guess in China, there is always money for research related to Giant Pandas. ” True or not? 3, so, yes.

In Kangding, there is a rather opulent bird hide – two stories, solid construction, spacious, lots of glass, a separate paved parking lot, though mysteriously (and as far as I can tell from my experience of living in China for almost 20 years, not indicative of fundamentally different physical needs of Chinese people) missing a bathroom.

It truly is horrific and despicable to treat animals so badly. All that follows from that assumption is that it is morally permissible to eat some meat.

Shanghai parks are rather crowded and noisy places, but the goshawks – who unlike me have lived in China all their lives – apparently do not mind. Coming from somebody who has exiled himself to China, this is not exactly a compliment. Actually, as I just found out, this is not really new information. but they do.

Global warming is an animal ethics issue. As the planet warms, fragile habitats that countless animal species depend on for survival will be destroyed. Recently published research suggests that the situation is even more dire than previously predicted. As such, it is incumbent upon the U.S.
