In a recent study , a team of French researchers set out to test whether a drone’s color, speed, and angle of approach affected different groups of birds. It’s quite possible that further research into the internal stress indicators of birds may reveal similar findings.

  Black Bear. During a brief moment of insanity after the death of my pet kitty Brady in 1991 (at the age of 17), I attended Vermont Law School to study Environmental Law.   Enter Black Bear Crestfallen, I schlepped my sorry self from my minuscule apartment, across the Village Green toward the coffee shop.

UNLESS that is you get yourself down to the internationally-renowned Tambopata Research Centre in southern Peru where literally hundreds of macaws (and other parrots) congregate around a 50 meter high clay bank. These threats are further exacerbated by the naturally low reproductive rates of these cavity-nesting birds.

Other research (cited on the rather straightforwardly named website www.genderinclusivebiology.com) found that 80% of gay swan couples successfully fledge their young, compared with only 30% for straight couples. It seems they kept a pheasant as a pet for the chick. Much cheaper than a brother or sister.
