10,000 Birds

OCTOBER 23, 2023

One nice little story for my blog post lost. Other useful information in the Wikipedia article includes the factoid that it shows very rapid ingestion rates, taking on average 6 seconds for the prey to reach the stomach after capture (motto of this blog: We read Wikipedia for you so you do not have to).

MARCH 9, 2012

Choosing to adopt a dog rather than get one at the pet store (or what some like to refer to as “puppy mill”) is a beautiful thing—essentially you are saving a poor pup from euthanasia and you’re providing a an animal with a good home.

OCTOBER 7, 2016

This blog is written by writer, photographer, and animal advocate Ingrid Taylar. It’s the bane of many rehabbers that they simply can’t get through to cat owners on this critical issue of free-roaming pets. Years ago, I became a wildlife volunteer and advocate because of a cat who caught a bird.
