One of the many reasons why we appreciate out pets is because they always keep us laughing. From the adorable sounds our bird makes when she is happy, to watching our dog do “zoomies” around the couch again and again, and many other funny things in between, our pets have always had a way of brightening our days.

It took me a while to wrap my mind around the concept of Birds and People , Mark Cocker and David Tipling’s book that, in 592 pages, explores the intersection of just that—birds and us. Nor have I overlooked “sightings” of birds in movies mouthing other birds’ calls. I’m not sure why.

Not bad given that the 5 families in the inner circle of the laughingthrush family have a combined number of about 68 species. Presumably, in the early days of ornithology, some scientists spent most of their time transcribing bird calls. A beautiful bird though. This post shows some of them. It’s the eyes, I guess.

It seemed whoever set the trap had ‘released’ the injured eagle upon finding him, as the bird could not have freed himself without the loss of the entire foot. This bird was lucky to be found and rescued by a Good Samaritan in this remote area. We immediately started the bird on Clavamox for infection, and Tramadol for pain.

Parrots captivate me more than any other bird family. However, they do not occur evenly across their familial distribution. In my experience, parrots form a visibly and numerically important component of the Brazilian bird fauna. These birds have an unusual ecological relationship with the Toco Toucan.
